I keep getting stuck on this because I think we've been watching the wrong boundary. We keep saying code is law, but code only decides what can happen. It doesn't explain why something was allowed in the first place. That part quietly lives somewhere else.
The more I trace Newton Protocol through Sign's layers, the less I think the scarce asset is execution. It starts looking like policy itself. An issuer defines it. A schema shapes it. Evidence attaches to it. Hooks enforce it. Then relying parties stop rechecking and simply inherit the previous decision. The strange part is how quickly evaluation disappears.

"That is what bothering me.
Maybe capital changes once policies become portable instead of remaining trapped inside individual applications. Not because cryptography became stronger. Not because compliance suddenly became easier. Because the same verified policy can keep participating across systems without restarting trust from zero.
If that pattern holds, then the market may not reward whoever writes the best code.
It may slowly reward whoever creates the policies that everyone else keeps relying on.
That feels like a different source of capital entirely. And I'm still not sure the market is pricing that shift.
