    Some questions:

    - why patent it when you give permissions via Apache licence anyway?

    - you can't use an external keyboard with this, right?

    - can you remove content from the middle of the record without breaking signatures? For example if someone makes an online purchase during a break in the writing and forget to turn off the system, is their credit card number forever bound to that text?

    Hi HN, I'm building witnessd (v0.1.9) to solve the "Is this AI?" problem by looking at the process, not the result.

    The Tech:

      - Hardware Binding: Keys are bound to TPM/TEE; signals are signed in a secure environment.
      - Jitter Seals: We capture the statistical entropy of the writing process to differentiate human "jitter" from synthetic input.
      - Time Hardening: We use sequential VDFs (Verifiable Delay Functions) so that forging a 2-hour session requires 2 hours of computation. No parallelization.
    
    Try it out:

      brew install writerslogic/tap/witnessd
    
    Or verify any .war certificate at https://writerslogic.com/verify

    I'm a novelist and Marine veteran, and I'm currently moving this through the IETF (draft-condrey-rats-pop). I'd love your feedback on the schema and the VDF implementation.
