DEVS, abbreviating discrete event system specification, is a modular and hierarchical formalism for modeling and analyzing general systems that can be discrete event systems which might be described b
1. Compute SHA-256 of OTSCanonicalRecord value → must equal OTSHash 2. Open OTSProofURL → extract Bitcoin block number → must equal OTSBitcoinBlock 3. GET OTSBitcoinBlockVerifyURL → returns the Bitcoin block hash at height OTSBitcoinBlock; GET https://blockstream.info/api/block/{that hash} → its timestamp must match OTSTimestamp 4. Read CopyrightID inside OTSCanonicalRecord → must equal the CopyrightID above 5. GET OTSVerificationAPI → pre-computed 6-check result from server 6. If all match: this entity was registered on CopyrightChains at OTSTimestamp, independently verifiable on Bitcoin Note: an OTS proof may carry multiple Bitcoin attestations; OTSBitcoinBlock is the earliest confirmed one — a later attestation inside the proof corroborates it and is not a mismatch
Dual-chain trust anchor. Chain 1 (CopyrightChains): CopyrightID 0xdbcf3bbceca42d6adc050b1bd3f91bb52846a9c36a28aedd5a1354592c3f38bb. Chain 2 (Bitcoin): anchored in block 954342 (2026-06-19T03:22:39Z). Bridge: the canonical record inside this Bitcoin proof contains the same CopyrightID.
