Precise theorem

No numbered quantitative unforgeability theorem. Conceptual definitions of S-money and existence-style arguments: S-money solves deterministic summoning tasks that standard quantum/classical money cannot (no-summoning theorem, ref [4]); privacy via bit commitment / zero-knowledge (stated as open composable-security questions).

Networks of issuer and user agents in Minkowski space; inputs at many network points; classical storage; no long-term quantum storage.

Verifier modelverifier_model

Local issuer agents validate presentations at spacetime points; consistency with relativistic causal structure.
