it's rooted in probability and time
encryption and signatures are based on using numbers that are too big to practically reverse according to current theory of the mathematics. the main security in cryptographic systems used today is the discrete log problem, which is basically about how multiplying big numbers in a clockwork arithmetic system (eg, 256 bit numbers) is irreversible, and creates what they call a "trapdoor function" which has anisotropy in time, easy to solve from the solution side, hard to reverse to the key cracking side.
the number of dimensions created by the graphs of semantics (meaning) are far beyond even what cryptography does. so i'm just gonna say: good luck getting this right before you solve the energy and economics problems (how to get that much energy). also, optimizing the cost of computation, that's probably the center of it because you can solve that with more energy but you can't solve more energy without economics being optimized and you can't justify it in such an optimal economic system without its value being great for the majority of participants.
you start with chess, then you get to war, and then you get to what the fuck. friedrich hayek was dead on when he said that the information problem was the center of understanding how to run an economy from a central point. it can only be solved with a decentralised system. it's simply a matter of energy and physics and mathematics but the megalomaniacs think they can somehow make their computation cheap enough to not make a slow motion train wreck with their impulsive decisions.
