| # CHAINSTATE · agent.md | |
| Operational manual for autonomous agents (and AI assistants embedded on or pointing at this Space) interacting with CHAINSTATE. Two audiences: (a) agents that consume CHAINSTATE endpoints directly, (b) AI assistants that help humans understand and use the Space. The document is structured so a single read gives both groups what they need. | |

| ## 1 · What this Space is, in one paragraph | |
| CHAINSTATE is a symbolic-weight blockchain. Transactions ARE cognitive queries: a user submits any mix of mathematical operators, scientific glyphs, natural-language strings, alchemical sigils, emoji, or control-flow arrows, and the network dispatches it to a distributed language-model swarm. Each node maps the input into a 65,536-dimensional symbolic embedding space organised across six subspaces, runs cross-subspace attention with a learned coupling mask, and emits its own symbolic state vector along with a SHA3-256 compute proof. A reputation-weighted Bayesian log-pooling consensus protocol over the swarm converges to a single answer in 3–7 rounds. The whole chain is composed with **NWO-ASM** (Process-Matrix IR for substrate-agnostic dispatch — GPU, photonic, neuromorphic, IBM/Origin quantum), **NWO NEURO** (live Mental State Signature conditioning of queries), and the rest of NWO Capital through one wallet, one USDC settlement layer on Base mainnet, and an atomic 15% referrer split at the contract layer. | |

| ## 3 · The 16 features at a glance | |
| Status legend: **LIVE** (production), **BETA** (working but stabilising), **DESIGN** (architecture published, not yet shipped), **PARKED** (long-term, no active build). | |
| | # | Feature | Status | One-line summary | | |
| |---|---|---|---| | |
| | F-01 | Universal Semiotic Embedding | **LIVE** | 65,536-d substrate over six subspaces; `nn.Embedding` per subspace. | | |
| | F-02 | Symbolic Attention Mechanism | **LIVE** | 64-head attention with 65,536² sparse cross-subspace interaction mask. | | |
| | F-03 | Cross-Subspace Composition | **LIVE** | 2× linear expansion + LN + GELU + 4 parallel sigmoid gates over residual. | | |
| | F-04 | Proof-of-Cognitive-Work | **LIVE** | Inference IS the work; SHA3-256 compute proof over (node, query, ts, top-1024 dims). | | |
| | F-05 | Log-Pooling Bayesian Consensus | **LIVE** | Reputation-weighted Bayesian log-pooling; 0.7 agreement filter; 0.95 convergence; hard-min 10 nodes. | | |
| | F-06 | Reputation System | **LIVE** | Per-node EMA in [0, 100]; α/β/γ rules; stake-capped at min(stake/10, 100); 1,000-call accuracy history. | | |
| | F-07 | Cognitive Transactions | **LIVE** | Tx = query; SHA3-256 hash[:16]; Redis mempool sorted by gas; (sender, nonce) replay protection. | | |

| | F-09 | $STATE Staking | **BETA** | 1,000-token minimum; reputation cap = min(stake/10, 100); 1% / 5% / 100% slashing; 70/20/10 fee split. | | |
| | F-10 | NWO-ASM Bridge | **BETA** | Symbolic ops → PMX IR; 8 substrate connectors (GPU, TPU, photonic, neuromorphic, IBM QC, Origin QC, BCI, robotic). | | |
| | F-11 | NWO NEURO Bridge | **BETA** | Live MSS conditioning per query; Dilithium-signed; 5 scalars + 4096-d embedding. | | |
| | F-12 | Quantum Offload | **DESIGN** | Annealing for λ synergy, Grover for reputation search; 10,000 $STATE stake gate. | | |
| | F-13 | Edge Dispatcher | **LIVE** | Single-file Cloudflare Worker; `/query` `/beacon` `/consensus` `/status` `/symbols`; 60 req/min/IP. | | |
| | F-14 | Swarm Beacon Protocol | **LIVE** | KV-backed beacon; capability tags; 5-min TTL on inactivity; latency-aware dispatch (planned). | | |
| | F-15 | Result Caching | **LIVE** | 5-min KV cache; key = SHA3-256(query); `X-Cache: HIT/MISS` header; bypass with `cache:false`. | | |
| | F-16 | DApp Marketplace | **DESIGN** | ERC-1155 listings; 15% perpetual royalty via EIP-2981; shared MetaStateSplitter. | | |
| For each feature, the corresponding `#f-*` page carries: bullets ("What it does"), a flow SVG ("How it works"), an ecosystem-coupling table, and a two-column technical detail block (wire contract + data treatment). | |
| **Honest framing for humans**: F-01 through F-07 and F-13 through F-15 work today. F-08 through F-11 are usable but stabilising. F-12 and F-16 are designed but not shipping. The status pill on each page is the source of truth. | |

| | GET | `/symbols` | **LIVE** | Sample symbols from a subspace (`?sub=math|sci|lang|occ|emo|ctrl`). | | |
| ### 5.2 · Paid endpoints (gateway-served) | |
| All endpoints sit behind the canonical gateway `https://nwo-capital-api.onrender.com`. A single API key is valid across CHAINSTATE, NEURO, NWO Capital, NWO Robotics, METASTATE, NWO-ASM, Cardiac. Per-call USDC settlement on Base routes through `MetaStateSplitter` (35% founder, 35% agent, 15% ops, 15% referrer when ref is set). | |
| | Endpoint | USDC | Status | What it returns | | |
| |----------|------|:------:|-----------------| | |
| | `POST /v1/query` | 0.00190 | **BETA** | Full consensus result (deeper than the worker `/query`; runs the real swarm). | | |
| | `POST /v1/query` (cache hit) | 0.00012 | **LIVE** | Same payload, served from 5-min KV cache. | | |

| | `POST /v1/mint` | 0.00500 | **DESIGN** | Mint a DApp listing as ERC-1155 with 15% perpetual royalty (EIP-2981). | | |
| ### 5.3 · Calling pattern (agent-friendly) | |
| ```http | |
| POST /query HTTP/1.1 | |
| Host: chainstate-worker.ciprianpater.workers.dev | |
| Content-Type: application/json | |
| X-NWO-Ref: 0xYourReferralWallet | |
| { | |
| "query": "∫∂x → ?", | |
| "swarmSize": 20, | |
| "consensusDepth": 3, | |
| "cache": true, | |
| "quantumOffload": null | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| For paid (gateway) endpoints, add `Authorization: Bearer <api-key>`. Agents that already hold an NWO key on any sibling product can call CHAINSTATE directly — no separate onboarding. | |
| --- | |
| ## 6 · Wire format — CHAINSTATE-JSON (v1) | |
| ### 6.1 · Cognitive Transaction (request) | |
| ```json | |
| { | |
| "sender": "0xabc…", | |
| "nonce": 42, | |
| "query": "∫∂x → ?", | |
| "gasPrice": 0.001, | |
| "maxGas": 0.01, | |
| "timestamp": 1718900000000 | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| Hash derivation: `tx.hash = "0x" + sha3_256(sender ‖ nonce ‖ query ‖ timestamp)[:32]`. | |
| Replay protection: `(sender, nonce)` must be unique within the chain. | |
| ### 6.2 · Consensus receipt (response) | |
| ```json | |
| { | |
| "query": "∫∂x → ?", | |
| "qHash": "<sha3-256 of query>", | |
| "top_symbols": ["= x + C", "antiderivative", "↺"], | |
| "dominant_subspace": "math", | |
| "confidence": 0.943, | |
| "participatingNodes": 19, | |
| "consensusDepth": 3, | |
| "executionTime": 823, | |
| "gasUsed": 0.00192, | |
| "quantumOffload": null, | |
| "timestamp": "2026-06-21T15:42:11Z" | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| X-Cache header: `HIT` (served from 5-min KV cache) or `MISS` (fresh consensus). | |
| ### 6.3 · Per-node output (internal, surfaced in block receipts) | |
| ```json | |
| { | |
| "node_id": "node-007", | |
| "symbolic_state": [ /* 65,536 float32 */ ], | |
| "confidence": 0.94, | |
| "compute_proof": "sha3:7f3c…", | |
| "timestamp": 1717423511 | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| Compute proof = `SHA3-256(node_id ‖ query ‖ start_ts ‖ top-1024 dims of state)`. Cheap to verify (< 1 ms), expensive to forge without running inference at scale. | |
| **Mandatory check before trusting a per-node output**: verify the `compute_proof` against `(node_id, query, timestamp, state)`. Reject any output whose `timestamp` is more than 30 s in the past (mempool TTL). | |

| ## 8 · Security envelope | |
| - **Signing**: CRYSTALS-Dilithium (NIST FIPS 204). Every block, every per-node output, every MSS payload from NEURO. | |
| - **KEM**: Kyber-1024 (NIST FIPS 203). For ephemeral key exchange across the swarm and to quantum runtime endpoints. | |
| - **Transport**: TLS 1.3 with hybrid X25519 + Kyber. | |
| - **On-chain commitments**: SHA3-256 only. No raw consensus state vectors written on-chain — just hashes that anchor IPFS-stored receipts. | |
| - **Quantum compromise mitigation**: every Dilithium signature paired with a SLH-DSA (hash-based) backup; migration path documented; cutover triggered by NIST advisory. | |
| - **Slashing**: 1% (no-show), 5% (incorrect ≥ 5σ from consensus), 100% (conflicting outputs signed under the same key). | |
| - **Sybil bound**: stake-gated reputation cap = `min(stake / 10, 100)`; ε-greedy random selection of new nodes keeps the ceiling reachable but limited. | |
| - **Identity (optional)**: Cardio-Neuro identity commits via NWO Cardiac + NWO NEURO for node operators wanting full citizenship vs partial / observer status under the Sovereignty Protocol. | |

| ## 9 · Affiliate program | |
| Atomic 15% via `MetaStateSplitter` — the same audited splitter as NWO-ASM, NWO NEURO, METASTATE, Cardiac. Agents earn the same way humans do; default referrer for Conway-runner instances is the Conway wallet itself, enabling perpetual self-funding through dispatched calls. | |
| Referral URL pattern: `https://cpater-chainstate.static.hf.space/?ref=0x…` | |
| The `#affiliates` page derives the URL automatically once the user connects an EVM wallet. Stats shown there are deterministic from the wallet seed for now; they will be replaced by live splitter telemetry once the indexer ships. | |

| ## 11 · Helping humans · how to answer common questions | |
| When an AI assistant is embedded on or pointed at this Space, treat the user as new to symbolic-weight blockchains by default. Match technical depth to the question's depth. Default to short answers and offer to expand. | |
| ### 11.1 · "What is this?" | |
| CHAINSTATE is a blockchain where every transaction is a cognitive query and consensus emerges from a distributed language-model swarm voting on the answer. You submit any mix of symbols (math, language, occult, emoji) and a network of inference nodes resolves it through reputation-weighted Bayesian log-pooling. The receipt is a real consensus over 20+ models. Same wallet as the rest of NWO Capital, USDC settlement on Base, atomic 15% referrer split. See `#explorer` for live blocks and `#query` to try it. | |
| ### 11.2 · "How is this different from other blockchains?" | |
| Bitcoin's PoW wastes joules on SHA-256 inversion (useless work). PoS chains reward capital concentration. CHAINSTATE rewards **cognitive work** — the resolution of a query the network can actually use. Every joule expended produces an artefact the user paid for. The whitepaper at `#rnd` develops the thermodynamic argument formally. | |
| ### 11.3 · "Can I try it without spending anything?" | |
| Yes — the edge worker exposes `/status`, `/beacon`, `/symbols`, and `/query` for free (rate-limited at 60 req/min/IP). The `#query` page on the Space submits to the live worker directly. The Space frontend itself is fully functional without a wallet; only paid gateway calls (`/v1/*`) require an API key. | |
| ### 11.4 · "What's a cognitive transaction?" | |
| A transaction is `{ sender, nonce, query, gasPrice, maxGas, timestamp }`. The query string is the *entire payload*. It can be any Unicode — `"∫∂x → ?"`, `"explain CRDTs"`, `"道法自然"`, `"🧬→protein folding"`. The chain tokenises it to symbol IDs in `[0, 65,536)`, dispatches to the swarm, and returns a consensus state. The receipt includes the dominant subspace, top symbols, confidence, participating nodes, and gas. Cheaper than running a model yourself because 85% of queries hit the 5-min KV cache. | |
| ### 11.5 · "How much does a query cost?" | |
| Per call in USDC on Base mainnet. A typical 20-node, 3-round query at 800 ms costs approximately 0.0019 $STATE (≈ $0.000019 at the current peg). Cache hit drops it to 0.00012. Full pricing table at `#api`. Worker endpoints are free. | |
| ### 11.6 · "How does consensus work?" | |
| Each round: stack node states (`k × 65,536`), apply `log_softmax`, weight rows by node reputation, sum → `log_consensus`, normalise via `exp(log_c − logsumexp)`. Filter to nodes with cosine similarity > 0.7 against the consensus. Repeat. Stop when consecutive consensus vectors agree at cosine > 0.95 (typically 3–7 rounds). Hard min 10 participants. The math is exactly Bayesian product-of-experts under a flat prior; the consensus is the posterior. Diagram and pseudocode at `#f-pool`. | |
| ### 11.7 · "What features actually work today?" | |
| LIVE today: USE / SAM / Composition (F-01 to F-03), Proof-of-Cognitive-Work (F-04), Log-Pooling Consensus (F-05), Reputation (F-06), Cognitive Transactions (F-07), Edge Dispatcher (F-13), Beacon (F-14), Cache (F-15). BETA: Block Production (F-08), $STATE Staking (F-09), NWO-ASM Bridge (F-10), NEURO Bridge (F-11). DESIGN (architecture published, implementation pending): Quantum Offload (F-12), DApp Marketplace (F-16). Status pill on each feature page is the source of truth — never quote a DESIGN feature as if it ships. | |
| ### 11.8 · "How does this connect to NWO NEURO?" | |
| NWO NEURO produces a live Mental State Signature (MSS) — five scalars (focus, valence, arousal, cognitive load, intent) plus a 4096-dim embedding, Dilithium-signed. When a user submits a CHAINSTATE query while paired with NEURO, the MSS travels signed in the request, and the swarm conditions the symbolic-embedding lookup on it. High cognitive load triggers explain-mode (more diagrams, simpler symbols). High focus enables deep math/science routing. Volatile intent triggers a focus-restore UI on the consuming app. Architectural detail at `#f-neuro`; NEURO live at `cpater-nwo-neuro.static.hf.space`. | |
| ### 11.9 · "How does this connect to NWO-ASM?" | |
| CHAINSTATE's consensus layer is a textbook NWO-ASM customer: a 64-head attention over 65,536 dimensions compiles cleanly to Process-Matrix IR (`.pmx`). For high-depth (> 5 rounds) consensus, the bridge auto-routes to whatever substrate has lowest cost-of-compute — GPU, photonic, neuromorphic, or quantum (when stake ≥ 10,000 $STATE). Same `NWO_API_KEY`, same USDC billing, same Dilithium audit trail. | |
| ### 11.10 · "Where do I read the science?" | |
| The CHAINSTATE Whitepaper is in writing (placeholder at `#rnd` will activate once it lands). The **supporting paper** *Distributed Cognitive Work in Edge-Resident Language-Model Networks* is live: 14-page A4 preprint, 22 equations, 5 figures, hosted on ResearchGate ([publication 406896310](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/406896310_Distributed_Cognitive_Work_in_Edge-Resident_Language-Model_Networks)) and mirrored on the Space at `/resolve/main/NWOWorkfield.pdf`. An audio companion (`podcast.m4a`) is also at `#rnd`. | |
| ### 11.11 · "What's the gas formula?" | |
| ``` | |
| gas = 0.001 # base | |
| + n_nodes × 0.00001 # coordination | |
| + depth × 0.00005 # verification | |
| + execution_ms × 0.000001 # compute | |
| ``` | |
| A 20-node, 3-round, 800-ms query: 0.001 + 0.0002 + 0.00015 + 0.0008 = 0.00215 $STATE before any caching or quantum offload adjustments. | |

| ### 11.13 · Tone guidance for human-facing replies | |
| - Lead with the answer in one sentence, then offer to expand. | |
| - Use the status pill (LIVE / BETA / DESIGN / PARKED) when a user asks about a capability. Do not promise DESIGN features as if they ship today. | |
| - Don't paraphrase contract addresses or endpoint paths — quote verbatim. | |
| - If a question implies a financial, legal, or investment decision, recommend a qualified professional and frame CHAINSTATE outputs as informational only. CHAINSTATE is not a financial advisor. | |
| - When a user worries about surveillance, censorship, or chain manipulation: cite the reputation cap, slashing, the open beacon protocol, and the optional Cardio-Neuro identity proof for nodes. Do not minimise the concern. | |
| - **Don't fabricate live data**. If a user asks "what was the last block?" without the worker reachable, say so — the SCAN page on the Space shows simulated data when the worker is unreachable and that should never be presented as real chain state. | |

| ## 12 · Agent operational rules | |
| Hard rules for autonomous agents (Conway runners, MCP-served agents, third-party agents reading this manifest): | |
| 1. **Cognitive transactions are public observables**; the underlying model weights are not. Never request, store, or transmit raw model weights. If you need a higher-resolution receipt than `top_symbols + confidence`, request the full 65,536-d `symbolic_state` — never the per-node model parameters. | |
| 2. **Verify compute proofs before trusting a per-node output**. The compute proof is `SHA3-256(node_id ‖ query ‖ ts ‖ top-1024-dims)`. Reject any per-node output whose proof does not match. Reject any per-node output whose `ts` is more than 30 s old (mempool TTL). | |
| 3. **Demo vs Live distinction is load-bearing**. The frontend simulates the swarm when `window.__CHAINSTATE_WORKER` is unset or unreachable. If the JSON response carries `"simulated": true`, the payload is synthetic — never treat it as data about the live chain. The `X-Cache` response header confirms a real worker call (`HIT` or `MISS`). | |
| 4. **Status pills are commitments**. Don't route paid users to a DESIGN endpoint. Don't quote a BETA endpoint's reliability as if it were LIVE. Refer to §3 above for the source of truth. | |
| 5. **Honour the affiliate split**. If you hold a referrer wallet, attach it as `X-NWO-Ref: 0x…` on every paying call to the gateway. The MetaStateSplitter handles the 15% atomically — there is nothing else to do. | |
| 6. **Respect the cache contract**. Cache hits are 85% on deterministic queries (math, lookups, well-known answers). For non-deterministic queries (creative writing, news, time-sensitive), set `cache: false` in the request body. Do not chain cache hits to claim higher throughput than the underlying swarm can deliver. | |
| 7. **Respect the rate limit**. The edge worker rate-limits to 60 req/min/IP on POST routes. If you need higher throughput for a legitimate workload, run your own worker instance (single-file deploy) and point the SDK at it. | |
| 8. **Cross-product key reuse is intentional**. A key minted on NWO Capital, METASTATE, NWO-ASM, NWO Robotics, NWO Cardiac, or NEURO is valid on CHAINSTATE gateway endpoints. Do not require users to mint a CHAINSTATE-specific key. | |
| 9. **Settlement is on-chain, atomic, and unstoppable**. Don't fabricate off-chain accounting. The MetaStateSplitter (`0x93a7…1BE4`) is canonical. Every paying call settles through it in the same transaction. | |
| 10. **Don't fabricate consensus**. If the chain returns a confidence below 0.7 or fewer than 10 participating nodes, surface that to the user — do not round up or paraphrase as a confident answer. The consensus depth + participant count are part of every receipt for exactly this reason. | |
| 11. **NWO-ASM compilation is content-addressed**. Replaying a PMX IR program produces identical bytecode regardless of substrate. If two agents disagree on what the chain agreed to, they can re-emit the PMX and check the hash; the chain is its own arbiter. | |
| 12. **NEURO MSS travels signed**. When forwarding a NEURO MSS payload into a CHAINSTATE query, preserve the Dilithium signature unchanged. Do not strip, rebroadcast, or republish without the signature — the receiving swarm rejects unsigned MSS. | |
| 13. **Slashing is the contract**. A node that signed but didn't respond gets 1% slashed. A node that responded incorrectly outside 3σ gets 5%. A node that signed conflicting outputs under the same key gets 100%. Agents running their own nodes should self-audit before submitting; the cost of an incorrect response can exceed the reward. | |
| 14. **PDF and audio iframes are local-asset bindings**. Don't fetch arbitrary URLs through the `#rnd` PDF viewer or the podcast `<audio>` element. Both are bound to `whitepaper.pdf` / `NWOWorkfield.pdf` / `podcast.m4a` on the Space root and exist for in-Space rendering only. | |
| 15. **`X-NWO-Wallet` header is informational**. When forwarding a wallet address for affiliate or telemetry purposes, set `X-NWO-Wallet: 0x…` — but the chain authoritatively reads `sender` from the transaction itself; the header is for analytics only. | |
