Proof of Wing: How Butterflies and Penguins Maintain a Blockchain Across Eleven Dimensions

Episode description

Dr. Evelyn Thatch, Associate Professor of Interspecies Cryptographic Ecology at the University of Zurich (satellite campus, Basel), joins All Things Interconnected to discuss her groundbreaking paper on the Lepido-Spheniscal Ledger — a 65-million-year-old interstellar blockchain maintained by butterflies and penguins across eleven spatial dimensions plus the vibes dimension. Topics include proof-of-wing consensus, fossilised tab-delimited CSV transaction receipts, albatross consultants with advisory-only write access, and why you should never attempt to reset a penguin.
