Blockchain Transaction Chaining for Complex Script Execution

The patent divides a complex computational task into multiple smaller sub-tasks, each executed in separate blockchain transactions with limited script size. The computation is segmented across transaction chains, where each transaction contains a restricted script (within opcode limits) that performs only a portion of the overall computation, thereby maintaining security while achieving complex functionality through composition of multiple simple transactions

The patent transitions from executing complex computation within a single transaction (one-dimensional approach subject to script size limits) to distributing computation across multiple transactions in a chain (multi-dimensional approach). By adding the dimension of transaction chaining and using the blockchain structure itself as the execution environment, the system achieves unlimited computational capability while each individual transaction remains within security constraints

The patent establishes continuous computation across a chain of transactions, where the output of one transaction becomes the input of the next. This continuity allows complex computations to be performed by chaining multiple simple transactions together, with each transaction contributing a portion of the overall computation. The useful action (computation) continues uninterrupted across transaction boundaries, enabling complex functionality while maintaining script size limits at each step

The patent uses blockchain transactions as intermediaries to pass data and control flow between computation stages. Each transaction acts as an intermediary that receives input data, executes a limited script, produces output data, and passes it to the next transaction. This intermediary mechanism enables complex computations to be broken down into manageable steps, with each step contained within security constraints while the overall computation achieves greater complexity
