All essential Genesis functions run locally:
  • observation;
  • content-addressed storage;
  • deterministic encoding;
  • Go and C verification;
  • adapter execution;
  • provenance inspection;
  • conformance testing.
Normal tests do not require public internet access. The controlled origin provides reproducible fixtures, and recorded evidence supports offline replay.

Migration principle

Moving to a VPS must not alter:
  • artifact formats;
  • digest identities;
  • adapter semantics;
  • ontology versions;
  • provenance structure;
  • conformance behavior.
The VPS adds:
  • separate networks;
  • isolated workers;
  • durable object storage;
  • database-backed metadata;
  • monitoring;
  • backups;
  • quotas and circuit breakers.
It must not become a hidden dependency required to implement the protocol.
