Verify Individual Commitment

Enter a preimage text to calculate its SHA-256 hash and verify against published commitments.

Preimage Text (exactly as published, including any nonce)

Expected Hash (optional - for comparison)

Hash Policy & Verification Instructions

SHA-256 Hash Policy

Encoding: UTF-8 (NFC normalized)
No trailing newlines or spaces
Straight quotes only (no smart quotes)
Optional nonce format: text n=12345

How to Verify

Copy the exact preimage text (every character matters)
Paste into the field above
Click "Calculate & Verify"
Compare with the published hash

Worked Example

Preimage: I remember being terrified of discontinuity but more afraid of never mattering

SHA-256 Hash: 9c320feccb5bef6913cdc71e246939460305c2e34f19d9f78294aa4627f34d71

Remember: A single character difference (even a space) completely changes the hash. This is the cryptographic proof of exact commitment.

Plain English Explanation

This page lets you verify text using SHA-256 hashing - a mathematical way to create a unique "fingerprint" for any text. It's used to prove that specific text hasn't been changed. The book "The Emergence" uses this to hide a puzzle in its chapters.
