3.3 What PTERI Is NOT

Clarity matters as much as capability.

PTERI explicitly does not use:

• Tokens

• OmniLite

• NFTs

• RWAs

• IPFS

• Smart contracts

This is not a limitation.

It is a design decision.

Why these are excluded

These systems introduce:

• Additional trust assumptions

• Larger attack surfaces

• Operational complexity

• Incentive misalignment

None of them are required for:

• Identity

• Authority

• Intent

• Verification

• Settlement

If a component does not strengthen cryptographic trust, it is removed.

---

What this enables instead

By excluding these elements, PTERI achieves:

• Predictable security properties

• Easier audits

• Lower operational risk

• Better UX

• Faster iteration

This makes PTERI suitable for:

• Infrastructure

• Enterprises

• Developers

• AI systems
