I send a request to OpenGradient, and the result comes back fast.
Sitting there, fully formed.
Like nothing else needed to happen.
I assumed the request had already finished and the rest was just bookkeeping.
Answer's here.
Happening somewhere in the background.
So I went looking for what.
Turns out the result and the proof don't land at the same time.
The answer comes back first, on its own track. The proof.
The thing that actually verifies it happened the way.
Generated and settled separately, afterward.
Not bookkeeping.
A gap.
The thing sitting in front of me.
The thing I'd already read, hadn't been verified yet.
It just looked like it had.
That changed what I thought the result actually meant.
When does it actually become something I can trust.
The moment it lands in front of me, or only once the proof settles?
I noticed the speed first. Now it's the trust gap I'd watch.
