PLENA Academic Publication Plan

Make VRX-1 citable before the market defines the category for you.

A standard becomes harder to dismiss when it has a public thesis, schema, methodology, use cases, limitations, and reviewable vocabulary. The publication plan turns PlenaProof from a product idea into an academically defensible verification architecture.

VRX-1 Standard Schema Case Framework

Core article thesis

In an AI-saturated world, trust cannot depend only on generated explanations or probabilistic detection. Institutions need verifiable receipts of human action, issuer authority, chain of custody, refusal, review, correction, and public-safe verification.

Contribution 1

Receipt grammar

Defines receipt types for proof, review, refusal, issuer action, archive, AI oversight, human service, and wallet export.

Contribution 2

Accountability roles

Separates issuer, reviewer, subject, recipient, custodian, verifier, and appeal authority.

Contribution 3

Open Verify, Paid Create

Frames public verification as a trust good while preserving paid creation, management, training, preservation, and institutional governance.

Possible paper titles

“Receipts After AI: A Verification Grammar for Human Action, Issuer Authority, and Institutional Accountability.”
“From Detection to Receipts: VRX-1 and the Governance of Verifiable Human Agency.”
“Open Verification, Accountable Creation: A Receipt-Based Model for AI-Era Trust Infrastructure.”

Target venues and formats

Start with a concept paper or SSRN preprint, then adapt for AI governance, information systems, law-and-technology, records management, digital identity, or ethics venues. The first publication does not need to prove market adoption; it needs to define the standard clearly enough to cite.

Article outline

Section	Purpose
Problem	AI can generate, simulate, and summarize; it cannot itself supply accountable occurrence, authority, consent, or chain of custody.
Existing approaches	Digital identity, verifiable credentials, audit logs, records management, AI governance, and content provenance each solve part of the problem.
VRX-1 model	Receipt structure, roles, scopes, verification levels, refusal receipts, correction states, and wallet portability.
Use cases	University, church/NGO, employer, publisher, human-service, AI-harm, and mobility examples.
Limitations	No automatic legal force, no replacement for licensing, no universal identity proof, no guarantee of truth beyond the receipt scope.
Implementation roadmap	Issuer pilot, legal opinion, reviewer registry, public verification page, mobile wallet, case studies.

Be cited, not just published

The academic plan now expands into standards engagement and founder-led category writing.
