PROMISE

Validation & Research

A System that makes good faith the winning strategy.

Rigorously validated by mathematical proofs, agent-based models, and domain experts.

Formal Verification

Mathematical Guarantees

Core protocol properties proven in Coq. These theorems guarantee that honest behavior is optimal, coalitions are unprofitable, and the system is self-stabilizing.

Subgame-Perfect Equilibrium (Theorem 1, 4)
Coalition-Proof (Theorem 5, 10)
Lyapunov Stability (Theorem 9)

Agent-Based Models

Empirical Validation

Thousands of simulations testing real-world scenarios: cooperative agents, adversarial attacks, cold start conditions, and system perturbations.

1,000+ cooperative strategy simulations
Sleeper agent & burst attack scenarios
Genesis & perturbation recovery tests

Key Properties Validated

Honest Behavior is Optimal

Give Truth Tellers The Advantage

The protocol is engineered so that keeping your promise is the most profitable long-term strategy. The economic incentives align self-interest with integrity.

ABM: Cooperative strategies consistently outperform dishonest ones

Proofs: Subgame-Perfect Equilibrium where cooperation is best response

Coalition-Resistant by Default

Don't Compete Against Cheaters

The system is designed to make it economically irrational for groups to collude. As malicious coalitions grow, the cost and risk of detection increase exponentially.

ABM: Sleeper agents and burst attacks are reliably detected

Proofs: Coalition-Proof property proven mathematically

Resilient & Self-Healing

Build On A Resilient Foundation

Even when hit by unexpected events or attacks, the economic incentives act as a restoring force, guiding agents back toward a stable, cooperative state.

ABM: Merit levels recover quickly after perturbation

Proofs: Lyapunov Stability guarantees equilibrium return

Fair & Accessible

Enter A Level Playing Field

The protocol solves the "cold start" problem. New users can join and build a reputation from scratch without needing prior connections or status.

ABM: Genesis simulations show new agents can build reputation

Design: AI-first bootstrap provides immediate utility path
