ESC: Next-gen security where secrets erase upon observation, verified with TLA+ (drive.google.com)

I am sharing ESC (Erasable Secret Container). It’s a next-gen security model where secrets are treated as consumable resources that autonomously erase themselves upon observation.

Key Technical Highlights:

・Formal Verification: Verified with TLA+, exploring over 190 million states. The log on page 1 records the moment the model's theoretical infinity actually surpassed the trace length limits of the TLC checker.

・High-Reliability Implementation: Built using SPARK/Ada to ensure formal correctness and memory safety.

・The Philosophy: The safest secret is the one that does not exist. If information no longer exists, it cannot be leaked.

I'd love to hear the community's thoughts on this observed-then-erased paradigm.
