I've been obsessed with solving this problem for probably over a year now.

I think about it like this.

You go for a walk. You walk a mile. You see a tree. You examine the tree up close. And carved into the tree's bark is a tiny 😉 face.

When you began your journey you did not and could not have known about the 😉 face, unless someone else told you it was there because they had discovered it themselves.

The 😉 face was secret, but it had no password.

To unlock that secret, you had to find the right location. To find the right location, you had to walk. Proof of work.

Autonomous Geometric Vaults aren't about encryption. They are a method to hide something inside of distance. They make traversal consequential. They harness the spacelessness of the digital and yoke it to Locality. They enable the exact scenario above with the tree and 😉 to take place at the protocol level of nostr in a decentralized manner.

I think that is something amazing.
