Discovery and assays describe resources. They do not reserve them and they do not authorize extraction.

MEASURE.
CLAIM.
PROVE.
GlassCastle Mining Co. is a resource-orchestration system for genuinely spare, explicitly authorized capacity. Measurement does not grant authority. Availability does not imply allocation. Work does not become Yield until the complete evidence chain supports it.
Conceptual control path. This is not live host telemetry and grants no execution, signing, custody, settlement, or Yield authority.
01 // FOREMAN
The mine asks before it takes.
The Foreman is the local safety and policy authority. It may deny, throttle, pause, or stop work independently of economic preference.
Safety reserves and owner workloads outrank mining. The host remains sovereign.
Policy defines what portion of spare capacity may ever become allocatable.
An execution reservation requires an active or throttled Claim covering the requested resources.
02 // THE MINE LOOP
Prospect → Assay → Claim → Extract → Measure → Rebalance → Expand / Abandon
The loop closes on evidence. No stage inherits authority merely because the previous stage succeeded.
Identify a plausible use for spare capability.
Measure performance, contention, health, and constraints.
Lease only the bounded resources Foreman authorizes.
Execute reviewed work through the permitted lane.
Record utilization, output, errors, and consequences.
Return, throttle, shift, or resize capacity from observed state.
Continue only when evidence supports the route.
03 // RESOURCE FIELD
Capability is measured by class, not assumed by device.
The engine can reason about multiple resource classes while keeping live host quantities private on this public surface.
Compute cores and allocatable headroom.
Graphics/parallel compute where measurable and available.
Internal and external storage treated as distinct capacity.
Internet and LAN bandwidth remain unallocatable when unmeasured.
Availability is evidence for scheduling, not an earnings guarantee.
Useful topology position may be measured without exposing the private network.
Specialized accelerator and neural-engine capability where supported.
Field resources remain separately authorized and bounded.
04 // CLAIM BOUNDARY
An observation cannot become work by itself.
The execution boundary is intentionally narrow. An existing Claim must be active, belong to the correct Shaft, cover the requested resources, and not collide with another active reservation.
Conceptual flow only. No live Claim, resource quantity, device identity, or work-order state is published here.
05 // ECONOMIC EVIDENCE
Work is not Yield until the entire chain closes.
Nominal value, provider points, pending rewards, benchmarks, unrelated chain deposits, and model estimates do not independently satisfy the Yield boundary.
06 // PUBLICATION BOUNDARY
The mine can explain its rules without publishing the vault.
Engine version, workflow stages, resource classes, authority rules, economic evidence ladder, and security boundaries.
Live host inventory, resource quantities, Claims, provider accounts, wallets, balances, payout routes, settlement receipts, and current work state.
07 // ADJACENT TOWERS
The mine operates inside the castle, not above it.
GLASSCASTLE MINING CO.
The mine does not own the castle.
Measure what exists. Protect what matters. Lease only what is authorized. Execute only inside a Claim. Record what actually happened. Promote nothing into Yield until the evidence supports it.
