Node operators shall be subject to continuous ethical suitability review based on the criteria in Chapter VIII.
Article 58: Biotic Signature Protocol
All records of contribution activity (data) shall be affixed with the unforgeable certification system known as the “Biotic Signature” (Article 22). The signature protocol shall adopt cryptographic techniques such as Zero-Knowledge Proofs, being obligated to absolutely protect individual anonymity while ensuring the authenticity of the data provider.
Chapter XVII: Biotic Consensus (Mutual Approval) Protocol
Article 59: Selection of Consensus Algorithm
The LQN’s consensus algorithm shall be based on the Proof of Contribution (PoC) model, which incorporates Contribution (LQI) as a staking factor. The PoC shall grant node approval authority according to the degree of contribution to the “Will of Life” (Article 6).
Article 60: Integration of the Ethical Verification Layer
The Ethical Verification Layer (Article 27) shall be mandatorily integrated into the final stage of consensus formation. This layer shall be obligated to perform final bias detection and correction immediately before the assessment result is recorded on the ledger, based on the criteria in Articles 51 through 53.
Article 61: Multi-Layer Signature Approval Process
The approval of all assessment transactions within the LQN shall require a Multi-Layer Signature from the Data Providing Life Stratum, the Ethical Verification Layer, and the PoC Node Group. This process shall technically guarantee the multi-layered mutual approval of Article 22.
