One way I would describe it is, when you hold something in your had, you know that it is real. You can do things with it, and there are consequences (laws of physics, or everything else down stream of it. You train yourself to learn how the laws of physics works, and you have a general sense of how it will behave, you can trust what it will do. We all kind of orient our reality around how things in work in the real world, our language, our sense of belonging etc. One of the most interesting properties of digital and software objects like data (code, images etc) is that you can make infinite copies of them. Now together marrying the Internet (which is this massive distribution network to share that data) and an amplifying tool like Gen AI (to increase the output of said data that can be created) -- but this is creating a runaway problem of more data that we can ever consume or make sense of, drowning in the data So what do we do?

One of the reasons we are working on the Roc is -- I want there a tool for humanity to ground ourselves, much like we ground ourselves in the real world to legends on a map, saying I can trust this as being "real", and uncopyable, I'd like to do the same in the real world So we are taking a stab at building a way to do that through Roc (whether it does it or not, actually is TBD, but we're doing our best and taking our shot)

Kind of reminds me of the handful of times Max Levchin talked about his time fighting fraud at PayPal Very difficult to systematically label and decline fraudulent transactions at that time. What do you do? Instead he flipped the question and asked what task is easy for a human to do and hard for a computer to do. From that they built the early version of Captcha I see similarities as AI gets more capable to fool us with what may not be real and preempting that reality

So in short, Roc is the bridge between reality and onchain? from what i can understand it allows us interact onchain in a different way, imposing constraints that functions just like the laws of physics but then again, why impose constraints just to prove it is real, you cited the example of the frying pan, being virtual means no limitations, isn’t that an advantage? i don’t know if i’m particularly making sense, it is not just so clear exactly what you want to achieve and why @july
