You don’t need to put any model information on the blockchain. The goal of the blockchain is that it’s creating a network of trust tied to computational work. All we want from the blockchain is to be able to say we trust this node and it’s providing work. There are many ways you can then go about setting that up and debate the nuanced details of what will work best. But the utility of blockchain is pretty simple - we want decentralized work, we want decentralized trust. Blockchain is the only technology that does that. In fact blockchain is really just a synonym for those two things. So on your first post when you questioned how we would be able to trust this decentralized work, the answer to that is simple - blockchain. The details past that have million dollar answers but the underlying principle is pretty straight forward.

Okay. We are going in circles now, and I've responded to these points at length.

The burden on you is to now flesh this idea out and show it can work in practice for this problem.

I will not be pursuing this avenue.

Good evening.

The burden on me was just to point out that when someone is looking for a way to create decentralized trust in a system of decentralized work that the solution is blockchain. My point in the first comment wasn’t to hash out all the nuanced details of how that would work in practice, I was just pointing out that if your looking to create trust in a decentralized system then the best (and honestly only) way to do that is blockchain.
