	 <t>   This document defines Proof of Sequential Memory Execution (PoSME), a
   cryptographic primitive combining mutable arena state, data-
   dependent pointer-chase addressing, and per-block causal hash binding
   in a single step function.  A Prover executes K sequential steps over
   a mutable N-block arena.  Each step reads d blocks at addresses
   determined by the previous read&#x27;s result (pointer chasing), writes
   one block with spatial neighborhood entanglement (incorporating
   A\[w-1\] and A\[w+1\]), and advances a transcript chain.  The
   construction provides three properties: (1) unconditional sequential
   time enforcement anchored in physics-bounded latency floors, (2)
   forgery prevention via causal hashes (reduces to collision resistance
   of H), and (3) TMTO resistance scaling as $1/\alpha$ with spatial
   entanglement, where $\alpha$ is the adversary&#x27;s storage fraction.
   Verification requires O(Q * d^R * log N) hash evaluations with no
   arena allocation.  No trusted setup is required.
