the science of cybernetic economies — how tokens emerge, flow, and reach equilibrium in decentralized systems. not specific to any protocol — the universal theory from which cyber/tokenomics, bostrom/tokenomics, and any token economy derives
postulates
cybics — the mother-science: every truth accessible to intelligence is a fixed point of some convergent simulation under conservation laws
token theory — tokens as the fundamental unit of value, four types
plumb
plumb — framework for modeling and simulating token economies
basic token operations — the five atomic operations: pay, lock, uber, mint, burn (MBLM)
volume approximation
volume of price estimation (VoPE) — approximating token value from observable on-chain flows
modeling framework
supply and demand — the demand-supply equilibrium: where quantity sought meets quantity available
adaptive hybrid economics — the stability-fluidity equilibrium: self-calibrating PoW/PoS with PID control
two equilibria govern every token economy: demand-supply (price discovery) and stability-fluidity (security vs liquidity)
parametrization wisdom
four types of parameters in any token economy:
- fixed by physics — conservation laws, immutable (focus sums to 1)
- fixed at genesis — social contract, changed only by governance fork
- PID-controlled — self-adjusting via error signals (alpha, beta in adaptive hybrid economics)
- market-discovered — emerge from agent behavior (staking ratio, fee levels)
the art: knowing which parameters belong in which category
bonding curves
energy mint using curve — exponential bonding curve: supply grows only when demand forces price up
bostrom/mint — implementation: supply decay formula, $V gets expensive 8x faster than $A
applied
cyber/tokenomics — the cyber protocol token economy
bostrom/tokenomics — the bootloader chain token model
learning incentives — reward design for knowledge creation
