## Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed in regard to cryptographic containers or other on-chain modules. Some variants concern autonomy enhancement based on user-activity-related attributes. Some concern zero-knowledge proofs based on speculative on-chain module linkages. Some concern responding to on-chain metadata linkage disruption. Some concern confirming speculative on-chain module linkages. Some concern user-configurable privacy management or various considerations of efficiency or security.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A context-responsive blockchain configuration method comprising:
invoking first transistor-based circuitry configured to cause a first on-chain primary (OCP) module at least partly controlled by a first authorized entity to be associated with a first user and with numerous modules that are related to said first OCP module and wherein said first OCP module is directly associated with both on-chain and off-chain event-sequence-descriptive (ESD) data describing numerous token transfer events and wherein said on-chain and off-chain ESD data has a first scalar size-related attribute;
invoking second transistor-based circuitry configured to cause said on-chain and off-chain ESD data and said first scalar size-related attribute both to grow numerous times as said first OCP module records descriptions of numerous additional events;
automatically invoking third transistor-based circuitry configured to respond to said first scalar size-related attribute of said on-chain and off-chain ESD data reaching a first size threshold by indicating to said first user an autonomy enhancement away from said first authorized entity; and
automatically invoking fourth transistor-based circuitry configured to respond to a default first manifestation of a first autonomy-indicative user decision by implementing a migration to another cryptographic module deployment.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The blockchain configuration method of claim 1 comprising:
invoking transistor-based circuitry configured to respond to said first autonomy-indicative user decision by implementing a cryptographic module deployment that strips at least one privilege pertaining to said first OCP module from said first authorized entity but that does not strip at least one other privilege pertaining to said first OCP module from said first authorized entity.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The blockchain configuration method of claim 1 comprising:
invoking transistor-based circuitry configured to respond to a first manifestation of said first autonomy-indicative user decision by migrating said first OCP module to an autonomous cryptographic module deployment.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The blockchain configuration method of claim 1 comprising:
invoking transistor-based circuitry configured to respond to a first manifestation of said first autonomy-indicative user decision by implementing a more autonomous cryptographic module deployment by reconfiguring said first OCP module.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The blockchain configuration method of claim 1 wherein a more autonomous cryptographic module deployment is thereby implemented insofar that a first privilege of said first authorized entity is eliminated.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The blockchain configuration method of claim 1 wherein said more autonomous cryptographic module deployment is more autonomous insofar that a first privilege of said first authorized entity is at least partly eliminated and thereby nonexistent in said more autonomous cryptographic module deployment and insofar that a second privilege of said first authorized entity is at least partly eliminated and thereby only available to said first user in said more autonomous cryptographic module deployment.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The blockchain configuration method of claim 1 wherein said more autonomous cryptographic module deployment is implemented by migrating more than half of said on-chain data to one or more annotation tokens within a token-associated module of said more autonomous cryptographic module deployment.

The blockchain configuration method of claim 1 wherein said more autonomous cryptographic module deployment is not at all controlled by said first authorized entity.

### Claim 9

invoking second transistor-based circuitry configured to cause said ESD data and said first scalar size-related attribute both to grow numerous times as said first OCP module records descriptions of numerous additional events;
invoking third transistor-based circuitry configured to respond to said first scalar size-related attribute of said ESD data reaching a size threshold by indicating to said first user an autonomy enhancement; and
invoking fourth transistor-based circuitry configured to respond to a first manifestation of a first user decision by implementing a migration or other transformative cryptographic module deployment so as to implement said autonomy enhancement.

### Claim 13 (depends on 9)

### Claim 14 (depends on 9)

The blockchain configuration method of claim 9 wherein said first OCP module is directly associated with said ESD data describing numerous token transfer events insofar that one or more tokens inside said first OCP module point to off-chain data that specifies timestamps when more than half of said numerous token transfer events occurred.

### Claim 15 (depends on 9)
