a VM that computes by field convergence — reaches the fixed point φ* through iteration
definition
the tru is a convergence VM: it takes the full cybergraph as input and outputs the focus distribution $\phi^*$ — a probability measure over all particles reflecting collective attention
$$\text{tru}: \mathbb{G} \;\longrightarrow\; \phi^* \in \Delta(P)$$
where $\mathbb{G}$ is the cybergraph and $\Delta(P)$ is the probability simplex over the particle set $P$
computation
the convergence VM applies the tri-kernel over the cybergraph topology. cyberlinks weighted by stake $a$ and valence $v$ define transition probabilities. the fixed point of this process is $\phi^*$ — the canonical focus distribution over all content in the system
properties
the machine is deterministic: given the same cybergraph state, it always produces the same focus distribution. it is also permissionless — any neuron can shift $\phi^*$ by adding cyberlinks, and the cost of doing so is governed by the costly signal mechanism
the convergence VM replaces centralized ranking algorithms with a cryptoeconomic consensus on what deserves attention
