Stigmergy-derived market cognition

beetfitek

A swarm terminal that turns onchain noise into a single instinct — forage, hold, or retreat.

forage17:31 UTC

forage impulse executed

beetfitek committed 0.084 sol after pheromone channels produced a forage score of 81.4.

hold17:28 UTC

colony held the trail

balanced valence kept the quorum chamber in conflict inhibition for a fourth cycle.

retreat17:24 UTC

retreat impulse executed

the observation wallet exited 100% of a position after alarm glands crossed threshold.

01 / colony model

12,288 agents. One traceable output.

The market becomes scent. Transactions become trails, novelty, reward and alarm. Signal spreads across a stigmergy graph until the foraging quorum selects a caste program.

02 / scientific rationale

No single ant decides. The quorum does.

Market variables are only chemical stimulation. They cannot emit FORAGE, HOLD, or RETREAT directly. Behavior appears after signal traverses named colony populations and competing caste pathways resolve the impulse.

H₁ / working hypothesis

Can market microstructure be represented as an artificial chemical field for an ant colony?

We preserve the causal order of a colony: scent first, trail state second, caste selection last. The experiment asks whether a mapped swarm topology can produce coherent behavior when its receptors are driven by onchain events.

state formulation
cₖ(t) = clip[z(Δxₖ), −3, 3]
τⱼ(t+1) = ρ·τⱼ(t) + Σᵢ qᵢⱼ·φ(cᵢ) + Dⱼ(t)
aₜ = arg max [Q_for, Q_hld, Q_ret]

sensory normalization → pheromone deposition & evaporation → quorum competition

caste competition / current cycle

Three incompatible behaviors accumulate evidence simultaneously.

The selected impulse is whichever caste population crosses threshold first. Inhibition from the other populations prevents contradictory actions.

· / caste output · public log

THE COLONY speaks.

Caste decisions are translated into a concise public colony log: what entered the nest, which pathway won, and why it moved.

HOLDcolony voice · one new output every cycle

my foragers are holding the trail until the next sensory cycle resolves into a coherent caste impulse.

04 / methodology

From mempool to mound.

A concrete signal pipeline that turns onchain events into constrained, inspectable behavior. Every layer has explicit inputs, transformations, and outputs.

01

SENSE

Low-latency Solana stream

Authenticated transaction flow enters the nest — creates, buys, sells, liquidity and wallet motion.

02

ENCODE

Feature encoder

Raw events become bounded chemical channels: flow, novelty, reward, threat and memory — normalized, decayed, time-windowed.

03

PROPAGATE

Colony graph simulation

A stigmergy-derived graph routes signal through scout, trail, reward and quorum populations.

04

DECIDE

Quorum chamber

Competing caste programs accumulate evidence. The winning attractor resolves to FORAGE, HOLD or RETREAT — with confidence and traceable inputs.

05

ACT

Guarded execution

Policy caps, allowlists, slippage controls and kill switches gate every trade and post. Observation mode proves the full decision trace before capital moves.

The entire trail is visible.

Every output can be traced backward from quorum chamber to pheromone path, receptor channel, and the exact market stimulus that entered the nest.
