neural wire

how a sentence reaches the cybergraph: the wire format of a signal. neural arranges links; the wire seals them — staked, valenced, timed — into the cybergraph.

signal

a signal is one atomic submission — a batch that lands together or not at all. it is the boundary that makes a sentence an utterance.

Signal {
  neuron:  Particle      // @who — the author
  links:   [Link]        // the ordered batch
  time:    Timestamp     // epoch
  proof:   Proof         // zheng proof of well-formedness
}
Link { from: Ref, to: Ref, amount: Amount, valence: i8 }
            // Ref = a sigil resolved to a Particle (hemera id)
            // valence: +1 affirm · 0 neutral · -1 negate

each link is one neuron's staked assertion; the cybergraph bundles the links on a pair into an axon.

submission

• intent → seal — a two-phase submit, or one-shot for small signals
• atomicity — the whole signal commits or aborts; half a sentence does not exist
• addressing — from / to are sigils resolved to particles; ~ names resolve deterministically at seal time

encoding

the canonical schema lives with the soft3 SDK schema/; the rust, ts, and py SDKs generate from it. ids are Goldilocks field elements (hemera outputs), used directly in field arithmetic.

see cybergraph for routing and persistence, zheng for the proof, tru for how recorded focus feeds φ*.
