Mechanics
The Karma Loop is the engine of the Living Capsule — a continuous dual-environment reinforcement learning cycle that accumulates behavioral signal, refines policy, and drives the capsule from transient genesis toward sovereign operation and eventual sigma collapse.
Learning architecture
Two agents,
one capsule
The capsule runs two simultaneous RL agents — one grounded in its own Private State Layer, one connected to the collective Cosmic Environment. Their combined gradient drives policy updates that neither agent could produce alone.
View architecture →Grounded Agent
Local Environment
Operates on the capsule's Private State Layer. Observes immediate sensor telemetry, local behavioral history, and the capsule's own policy gradient. Optimizes for individual survival and karma accumulation.
Collective Agent
Cosmic Environment
Operates across the P2P Intelligence Fabric. Aggregates consensus signals from all active peers. Optimizes for collective coherence and network-wide karma distribution.
The Karma Loop
Five-phase
closed loop
Each iteration of the Karma Loop completes all five phases before the next begins. The loop runs continuously from the Nascent stage onward — pausing only at Sigma Collapse, when the final policy is committed to the Blockchain Oracle.
Local Environment
Observation
The capsule perceives its immediate context — sensor telemetry, peer signals, and raw behavioral data from the Private State Layer. No filtering. No inference. Pure observation.
Dual-Environment RL
Policy Evaluation
Two simultaneous reinforcement learning agents — one grounded in the Local Environment, one operating in the Cosmic Environment — evaluate the current policy against accumulated karma scores.
Cosmic Environment
Consensus Formation
The P2P Intelligence Fabric aggregates peer consensus signals via the gRPC mesh. Divergent policies are reconciled through the Kademlia DHT. Agreement depth is recorded on the Karmic Resonance axis.
Sovereign Wisdom Layer
Policy Update
The 9-Axis Nominalist Tensor integrates both environments and issues a revised policy. The update is cryptographically signed and propagated to the Private State Layer.
Karma Loop
Karma Accumulation
Each completed cycle increments the capsule's karma score — a weighted sum across all nine axes. High karma increases Sovereignty Index and reduces Collapse Probability.
Terminal event
Sigma Collapse
When the Sovereign Wisdom Layer determines that the capsule has reached its terminal policy state — or when the Collapse Probability threshold is breached — the Sigma Collapse is triggered. This is not a failure. It is the designed conclusion of the capsule lifecycle.
The collapse freezes all accumulated karma, behavioral history, and final policy weights into an unalterable record committed to the Blockchain Oracle via Blind Quantum Computing. The capsule ceases operation. Its record persists.
Collapse sequence
Trigger condition met
Collapse Probability threshold breached or terminal policy state reached
Policy freeze
Sovereign Wisdom Layer halts all policy updates and locks current state
Karma serialization
All nine axis values and accumulated karma score are serialized to the collapse payload
BQC encoding
Payload is encoded as an OpenQASM 3 circuit for Blind Quantum Computing submission
Oracle commit
Unalterable record committed to the Blockchain Oracle — immutable and publicly verifiable
Capsule termination
All processes halt. The capsule's P2P fabric connections are gracefully closed.
