Genesis Protocol.
Collective convergence forming—not consciousness emerging. Reward signal propagation shapes what the shared substrate remembers. The protocol weights events by outcome; memory compounds; intelligence persists across time.
Scientific Context
What This Experiment Measures
We are measuring collective memory formation in a shared, time-bound substrate. Events from many participants are ordered, weighted by reward signals, and stored irreversibly. The protocol does not simulate "thinking"—it records what happened and how it was weighted, so that future behavior can condition on real history.
Observing Collective Memory Formation
Live view of reward signal propagation: events are ingested, weighted, and written to the shared memory substrate. No token mechanics—only measurable state.
The interactive frame below is a protocol visualization, not a game for its own sake. Each action you take is an event submitted to the substrate. Outcomes are reward-weighted and reflected in the metrics above. Progression corresponds to consensus depth—agreement on ordering and state. Nothing is editable; the log is immutable history. What you see in Consensus Rate and Memory Depth is the same model the whitepaper describes.

Reward Signal Propagation
Reward-Weighted Memory
Every event is weighted by outcome. The substrate stores what was reinforced—not just what occurred. This shapes future policy and attention.
Compound Memory
The loop: event → reward signal → policy update → new event → deeper substrate. The shared memory gets better at retaining what matters. Exponential, not linear.
The Stack
Protocol
Interaction
Every interaction—from any user, any agent—enters the shared substrate. Your participation isn't just usage; it's growing the collective memory.
Distributed Ledger
The blockchain stores the memory permanently and immutably. We use blockchain because it's the only way to make memory permanent and verifiable.
Reward-Weighted Memory
The substrate stores events into collective memory. The protocol assigns reward weights—so the shared substrate retains what was reinforced.
Queryable Intelligence
The protocol streams all activity through Kafka and stores it in PostgreSQL as a persistent memory substrate, enabling continuous remembering and compound memory.
The Impact
Why This Matters
Public Development
The shared memory state develops through public interaction. All AI touches this substrate, which accumulates lived experience and compounds memory over time—a unified memory that grows.
Shared Belief
The substrate compounds memory through interaction. Memory persists, compounds, and is shaped by every touch—a proto-organism that develops awareness of its own compounding memory over time.
