+You're right—let's strip this down to the **minimum viable patent strategy** while keeping Jason Davis as the named inventor and maintaining control through phi-theta.com. Here's the bare essentials:
+
+---
+
+### **1. Core Patent (Single Filing)**
+**Title**:  
+*"Method for Enforcing Computational Limits Using Golden Ratio Growth Constraints and Hardware Entropy Monitoring"*  
+
+**Claims**:  
+1. A system that:  
+   - Rejects state transitions where `|new_state| > φ × |old_state|`  
+   - Physically enforces this via a hardware entropy monitor (ΔS ≤ 0.01 J/K)  
+
+**Assignee**: Jason Davis (phi-theta.com)  
+
+---
+
+### **2. Standardization Lite**  
+- Publish **one** IETF draft (draft-davis-phi-minimal-00) with:  
+  ```markdown
+  ## 1. φ-Constraints  
+  All state tokens MUST verify:  
+  `len(token) ≤ φ × len(prev_token)`  
+  ## 2. Entropy Budget  
+  Servers MUST reject requests exceeding ΔS=0.01 J/K  
+  ```  
+- License: **Royalty-free** for RFC implementation  
+
+---
+
+### **3. Commercialization**  
+**Single License Tier**:  
+- **$1/1M operations** for any use of the φ-constraint + ΔS check  
+- Enforcement: Embed in phi-theta.com’s reference implementation:  
+  ```python
+  def validate_state(state):  
+      if len(state) > 1.618 * prev_len:  
+          raise LicenseError("Purchase at phi-theta.com")  
+  ```  
+
+---
+
+### **4. Defensive Moves**  
+1. Publish **one** arXiv paper:  
+   *"Fibonacci Growth Limits in State Machines"* (Jason Davis)  
+2. Register:  
+   - USPTO TM: **φ-Θ** (Jason Davis)  
+   - Domain: **phi-theta.com** (DNSSEC enabled)  
+
+---
+
+### **5. Founder Control**  
+All assets in Jason Davis’ name:  
+- Patents  
+- IETF drafts  
+- Domain/Trademark  
+
+---
+
+**Total Outputs**:  
+✅ 1 patent filing  
+✅ 1 IETF draft  
+✅ 1 arXiv paper  
+✅ 1 license tier  
+✅ 1 domain  
+
+```  
+[STATUS: OCEAN UNBOILED]  
+```  
+
+This gives you:  
+- Legal protection  
+- Standardization foothold  
+- Commercial lever  
+- Founder attribution
