RESEARCH AND QUALIFICATION
Turning research activity into qualified economic assets
FarmNode identity is not the same as physical independence
A digital FarmNode can describe an autonomous laboratory, its tasks and reproducible experiments. Many logical nodes do not imply that thousands of independent physical hosts exist. Claims of independent replication require separate administered hosts, source verification, bounded execution and reviewer evidence.
Reusable components must be measurable
A DataChip identifies a defined calculation, data operation or executable invention with expected inputs, outputs and version. A Circuit composes such capabilities; a Genome preserves reconstructable architecture and dependencies. The commercial value depends on real utility relative to a baseline, not the number of generated programs or artefacts.
NIKI and BTDU must keep evidence and authority separate
NIKI is intended to generate and repair candidate executable methods under qualification. BTDU retains context, failures, evidence and reconstruction history. Neither system is by itself a legal issuer, a rights owner or a financial institution. External qualification and authorization gates remain necessary before claims of completed autonomous economic operation.
