The Mandatory Utility Layering of Verified Consensus is a foundational global protocol restructuring the mechanism of economic value exchange. It mandates that all high-value transactions—whether financial, governmental, or resource allocation—must pass through an auditable 'Consensus Score.' This score quantifies not merely the collateral backing an action, but the degree of verifiable agreement among all relevant computational substrates and human cognitive inputs regarding the foundational facts, context, and causal chain leading to that action. In this system, consensus itself is elevated from a philosophical ideal or subjective trust model into a mandatory, measurable utility API endpoint.
