0) Executive Summary
Short answer: you can’t “prove CHLOM works” in the abstract without first fixing a formal model of what “works” means. This Master Technical Document defines that model and provides the proof corpus. We (1) formalize CHLOM’s core components and security/economic goals, then (2) state and prove the key theorems—safety, liveness, value‑conservation, uniqueness, privacy‑preserving compliance, incentive‑compatibility—under explicit assumptions (standard cryptography + BFT finality). These proofs yield mathematical, checkable guarantees for the License Exchange (LEX), Decentralized Licensing Authority (DLA), Tokenized Licensing‑as‑a‑Service (TLaaS), the royalty/override engine, and audit rails.
Public posture: CHLOM is described externally as AI risk analysis + blockchain + zero‑knowledge proofs. Internally, this MTD adds the proprietary blueprints (Fingerprints, validator AI co‑training, override compression, economic calibrations) and the full proof deck. Public‑facing DID is public; the Fingerprint ID remains private and is out of scope for public docs.
1) Audience & Scope
- Audience: CrownThrive leadership, CHLOM engineering, Governance/Validator DAO, vetted partners under NDA.
- Scope: Formal guarantees, protocol architecture, data schemas, flows, governance, token/economics, security/privacy, sustainability hooks, dev env, deployment, SDK/API, KPI library, cross‑chain, compliance packs, runbooks, contribution/SLA, full appendices (proofs, circuits, pseudocode, TLA+, calibration).
2) CHLOM Governance Phases & Adoption Path
- Phase 0 — Development & Testing. Core contracts, verifier integration, model harnesses, testnets; initial proofs and invariants; TLC model‑check drafts.
- Phase 1 — CrownThrive Transfer of Docs/IP. CHLOM documentation + IP snapped to CHLOM.io; licensing boundaries formalized.
- Phase 2 — Builder Onboarding. SDKs, API keys, compliance packs; partner PoCs under restricted licenses.
- Phase 3 — Validator & AI Co‑Training Environment. Joint adaptation of validator policies with AI risk engines; slashing + detection probability calibration.
- Phase 4 — Ecosystem Rollout (CrownThrive Integrations). LEX/DLA/TLaaS wired into CrownThrive platforms with licensing hooks.
- Phase 5 — Full Decentralization. DAO‑controlled policy evolution, oracles with accountability deposits, automated treasury routing.
Replicability: CHLOM supports legacy Web2 via API shims and modular Web3 via pallets/middleware. Licensing hooks and DID attribution are mandatory in all deployments.

6) Protocol Flows
- Issue License:
- Record Usage: Holder submits
Verify(π) == ⊤
used + Δ ≤ cap
nonce++
- Payout:
amount_i = ⌊a_i·B/D⌋
- Sublicense/Overrides: Add leaf; path products define upstream share (Thm 2).
- Suspend/Revocation: Governance motion accepting evidence or oracle report; future flows to subtree halted (Thm 11).
- Dispute & Slash: Misreport → slash oracle per Thm 14; violator → slash/stake burn.
- Cross‑Chain Settle: Bridge mints mirrored payout only with LC proof of finality (Thm 15).
- Audit: Indexer verifies receipts, replays payouts, checks rounding bounds (Thm 12).
7) Governance & Organizational Model
- Executive Committee: Protocol parameters, upgrades, emergency stops.
- Advisory Committee: Standards, ecosystem adoption.
- Membership & Ethics Committee: Eligibility, verification, dispute norms.
- Validator DAO: Finality, censorship resistance, slashing execution.
- Governance Scribes: Maintain this MTD, changelogs, parameter registry.
Authority Safety: Final changes require on‑chain vote & timelocks; Founder approvals as per CrownThrive policy. Slashing & emergency powers governed by multi‑sig + DAO vote.
8) Oracles & Governance Scribes
- Violation Oracle (V): Must bond
- Analytics/Risk Oracle (A): Streams risk scores; ZK proves thresholds without revealing raw data (Thm 5).
- Scribes: Canonical publishers of specs, parameter updates, and version tags.
9) Indexing, Observability, KPIs
- Event Topics:
- KPI Library: time‑to‑finality, time‑to‑enforcement, payout latency, residual drift, false‑positive/negative rates, oracle honesty score, validator health, license cap utilization, override depth distribution.
- Dashboards: CrownLytics/ThrivePush integration endpoints.
10) Security & Threat Model
Assumptions: Collision‑resistant H, EUF‑CMA sigs, sound & ZK proofs, BFT with f<n/3
.
Threats & Mitigations:
- MEV/Censorship: BFT liveness; parameterized stake; watchdogs; batch‑invariant payouts (Thm 10).
- Double‑use: Nonce + cap guards (Thm 3).
- Identity Collision: Hash collision negligible (Thm 4).
- False Attestation: Oracle deposits + slashing (Thm 14).
- Bridge Risk: LC proofs & rate‑limits (Thm 15).
- Rounding Drift: Deterministic residual sink; bound m−1 (Thm 12).
- Mass Revocations: Subtree conservation (Thm 11); audit receipts.
- Key Compromise: Rotatable keys, multi‑sig for governance.
11) Sustainability Hooks
- Operational: Energy usage metrics in KPIs; validator incentives for green infra.
- Policy Hooks: Optional donation split to sustainability funds; configurable in Splitter
12) Developer Environment
- Local: Foundry/Hardhat, zk proving devnet, dockerized indexer.
- Testnets: DevNet → TestNet with seeded faucet + mock oracles.
- CI: Unit/property tests, gas/safety budgets, static analysis.
13) Deployment Guide
- Deploy Registry/DID.
- Deploy Verifier + link vk registry.
- Deploy License/Splitter/Treasury/Override.
- Initialize Governance & Oracles (bonding).
- Bootstrap Indexer & KPIs.
- (Optional) Deploy Bridge LC client.
Rollback: Timelocks + emergency pause; state snapshots for audits.
14) SDK & API Surface
- Contracts (ABIs):
- Events: mirror Section 9.
- REST/gRPC: for indexer queries, KPI pulls, receipt proofs.
- Client Libs: Typescript/Go/PHP bindings (ecosystem‑aligned).
15) Royalty Engine — Math & Rounding
- Split:
w_i = a_i/D
Σa_i = D
p_i = ⌊a_i·B/D⌋
r = B − Σ p_i
0 ≤ r ≤ m−1
- Overrides: Payout to ancestor =
payout_to_ancestor = B·∏ r_e
sum_over_tree = B
- Batching: Order/partition doesn’t change totals (Thm 10).
16) Economic Model & Calibration
- Single‑actor deterrence:
S ≥ G/(p·s)
- Coalitions: censorship ≥1/3; safety break >2/3 (Thm 13).
censorship_threshold ≥ 1/3
safety_break_threshold > 2/3
- Worksheet: enumerate G per role; set p via detection stack; choose s; compute S.
- Validator AI Co‑Training: adapt p upward over time; redistribute rewards to honest oracles.
