The Byzantine Generals is the architecture of Bitcoin laid bare. 21 scrolls walking the silent rules every block obeys: nodes are generals, not voters. Security is purchased through proof-of-work, not granted by acclaim. The protocol itself excludes the dishonest. The longest valid chain wins. From Lamport's 1982 problem to Craig Wright's 2026 essays — every scroll teaches what the surface obscures. The law was always inside Bitcoin. The fortress builds itself.
