If the metrics are not met, depositors divide the realized pool pro rata by deposits; if global median healthy life years and global median real after-tax income improve, the same treasury releases to verified participants proportionally. Registration asks two questions: yes/no on the 1% treaty (the concrete political demand) and how much military vs. clinical trials (with cross-jurisdictional evidence from Optimitron). The mechanism is designed for interoperability: independently operated pools commit to the same two terminal metrics and automatically form a single reward network. This paper specifies the six protocol-level capabilities that interoperability requires: (1) a cross-pool identity layer providing one-person-one-vote guarantees via proof-of-personhood; (2) a permissionless pool registry that makes metric commitments verifiable; (3) VOTE and PRIZE token mechanics with defined minting rules and payout triggers; (4) direct cross-pool claims where any verified voter can claim from any pool; (5) tamper-evident scoreboard aggregation so every front-end displays the same coalition-wide totals; and (6) a terminal metric oracle combining institutional data with decentralized surveys to trigger treasury release. The goal is a protocol simple enough that a second pool can launch without coordinating with the first. Summary: Technical specification for interoperable outcome prize pools structured as a dominant assurance contract. Covers cross-pool proof-of-personhood, a permissionless pool registry, VOTE and PRIZE token mechanics, direct cross-pool claims, tamper-evident scoreboard aggregation, and a terminal metric oracle including decentralized surveys.
