How it differs from Anthropic's Constitutional AI

Constitutional AI is a training-time method that shapes how one vendor's model (Claude) reasons. The Meniw Protocol governs agents at runtime, from outside the model and independent of vendor: any agent, on any model, parses the norm and applies default-deny, dual signature for high-impact actions and compliance receipts before acting. Neither replaces the other — they answer different questions.

Why the Bitcoin timestamp matters

Anyone can claim priority. What makes this verifiable is the date is fixed in three independent records: DataCite/Zenodo, the Bitcoin blockchain (block 952266, 3 June 2026, 23:40:59 UTC), and a public PyPI package. No single party controls all three.
