Algorithmically Stabilised Hard Asset Empirical Paper — Replication Package: Productive Hard Money Under Live Conditions

Replication package for the empirical working paper "Productive Hard Money Under Live Conditions: An Empirical Evaluation of the Algorithmically Stabilised Hard Asset Thesis Across Two Separate Protocol Deployments" (Harlow, 2026).

This package contains the complete dataset, analysis scripts, verification reports, and the paper itself, providing all materials needed to independently reproduce every quantitative claim in the paper.

Contents:- README.md with full file inventory and replication instructions- The paper (docx and PDF)- data/ — CSV files of on-chain event data (~370,000 event records) extracted from the Torus Protocol (Ethereum mainnet) and Unity Protocol (PulseChain), spanning 268 days (Torus) and 225 days (Unity)- scripts/ — Python analysis pipeline (asha_economic_analysis.py reproduces all paper outputs; asha_extraction_v3.py re-extracts raw events from archive nodes; supporting scripts implement encapsulator-aware remapping and statistical analysis)- reports/ — Verification reports, remap summaries, paper amendment list

The paper presents the first empirical evaluation of the ASHA (Algorithmically Stabilised Hard Assets) four-property thesis — hardness, predictability, productivity, and salability — using on-chain data from two separate live protocol deployments. All findings are independently reproducible from the included CSV files using the included Python scripts and verifiable against Ethereum mainnet (Torus) and PulseChain (Unity) archive nodes.

Conflict of interest disclosure (Section 3.3 of the paper): the author is the operator of both protocols evaluated. All 14 governance actions taken during the observation windows are documented with on-chain transaction hashes in Appendix E and are independently verifiable on Etherscan and PulseChain Scan.
