| # Extropy Contributions, example scored loops |
|
|
| A small, hand-built example dataset of contribution loops scored by the |
| canonical Extropy Engine XP formula. It exists to make the protocol concrete: |
| each row is a real-shaped contribution with the exact inputs the formula |
| consumes and the XP it mints (or why it was rejected). |
|
|
| The unit of value is entropy reduction. This is not a metaphor. |
|
|
| ## How XP is computed |
|
|
| Every row is scored by the source-of-record formula in |
| [`packages/xp-formula`](https://github.com/00ranman/extropy-engine/blob/main/packages/xp-formula/src/index.ts): |
|
|
| XP = R x F x dS x (w . E) x log(1 / Ts) |
| |
| Preconditions fail closed: dS must be > 0, Ts must be in (0, 1], and w and E |
| must be equal length. Row `c-0009` shows a rejected mint (dS = 0). Reputation |
| never enters the formula. |
|
|
| ## Fields |
|
|
| | Field | Meaning | |
| | --- | --- | |
| | `id` | Loop identifier | |
| | `domain` | One of eight canonical entropy domains: cognitive, code, social, economic, thermodynamic, informational, governance, temporal | |
| | `description` | What the contribution did | |
| | `R` | Rarity multiplier, action-class scarcity (not actor reputation) | |
| | `F` | Frequency-of-decay penalty, 1.0 is first occurrence | |
| | `deltaS` | Verified entropy reduction, must be > 0 to mint | |
| | `w_cognitive`, `w_physical`, `w_temporal` | Effort weight vector | |
| | `E_cognitive`, `E_physical`, `E_temporal` | Effort energy vector | |
| | `elapsed_hours`, `Ts` | Recency: Ts = exp(-lambda x elapsed seconds), lambda = 0.001 | |
| | `causal_closure_speed` | Domain c_L, used by the irreducible form XP = dS / c_L^2 | |
| | `xp` | Minted XP | |
| | `minted` | Whether preconditions passed | |
| | `reject_reason` | Why a loop was rejected, if any | |
| | `formula_version` | v3.1.2 (canonical, post Rarity/Frequency fix) | |
|
|
| ## Scope and honesty |
|
|
| This is an illustrative example set, not production telemetry. Values are |
| chosen to span the eight domains and to show both successful and rejected |
| mints. It is meant for teaching the formula and for stress-testing objections |
| to it. If a row's scoring looks wrong to you, that is the point: come break it. |
