Patents, anchored evidence, and demonstrations.
The patent position establishes the operator chain as the property. Anchored evidence demonstrates substrate-agnostic deployment. Demonstrations show what runs in production.
Patents
HMIC holds five provisional patent filings establishing the operator chain as the property. The non-provisional filing window opens Q1 2027. Each provisional captures one substrate-interchangeable aspect of the operator chain: how authorization converges, how evidence anchors, how state governs inference, and how interface compression operates across deployments.

Anchored Evidence
HMIC anchors evidence packets to available public networks. The protocol is what HMIC ships; the network is selected per deployment. HMIC does not operate any specific network -- the operator chain is the property, the substrate is interchangeable.
A current HMIC production anchor sits at btc block 950,259 with codebook canon v1.53 declared on-chain via OP_RETURN. This is one substrate among available public networks; substrate visible because the artifact is real, but not claimed as architectural commitment.
The same protocol runs against any available public network that satisfies the typed validator contract.
The protocol is what survives substrate changes. The substrate is what makes the demonstration real.
Demonstrations
The MMS cascade demonstration shows what prevention looks like in production. The Evidence Layer demonstrations show what proof looks like after a decision. Both run on the same operator chain.
The demonstrations are public. The full protocol surface is patent-track material -- request a briefing.
