Phenomenological Vibesnipe Architecture

Domain Reframing: From GitHub Issues to Whole-Brain Phenomenology

The original vibesnipe failed because it chose the wrong domain (GitHub issues → speculative compute markets). The correct domain is whole-brain electricity circuitry and phenomenology - not clinical genes.

The Missed Causal Chain

Original: GitHub issues → developer challenges → APT settlement
Failed: No market maker, illiquid, ~$0 value

Intended: ArkhaiPufferEnv → CoopHive RL → vibesnipe → MNX perp execution  
Missed: Compute/AI exchange with leverage → $25M+ potential

Correct: Phenomenal states → neural oracles → prediction markets → settlement
Domain: Whole-brain phenomenology, NOT clinical genetics

Core Architecture: RGB-ECS for Phenomenology

Inspired by andrewgazelka/rgb Minecraft server:

RGB Spatial Partitioning for Phenomenal States

Brain Region RGB Coloring (for parallel processing):
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  RED (Phase 1)    │  GREEN (Phase 2)   │  BLUE (Phase 3)    │
├───────────────────┼────────────────────┼────────────────────┤
│  Prefrontal       │  Temporal          │  Parietal          │
│  Motor cortex     │  Auditory          │  Somatosensory     │
│  Anterior cingul. │  Hippocampus       │  Visual cortex     │
│  Broca's area     │  Amygdala          │  Wernicke's area   │
└───────────────────┴────────────────────┴────────────────────┘

Processing: RED → GREEN → BLUE → RED (lock-free parallelism)
Same as Minecraft server: same-colored regions process in parallel

GF(3) Trit Mapping to Phenomenal Qualities

# From Gay.jl color system
@enum PhenomenalTrit begin
    MINUS = -1   # Inhibitory, negative valence, contraction
    ERGODIC = 0  # Neutral, exploratory, transition
    PLUS = +1    # Excitatory, positive valence, expansion
end

# Balanced quads for challenge validation
sum(challenge_trits) ≡ 0 (mod 3)  # GF(3) conservation

Oracle Attestation Protocol

struct PhenomenalOracle has key {
    oracle_id: u64,
    modality: u8,          // EEG=1, pupil=2, HRV=3, GSR=4, fNIRS=5
    sampling_rate_hz: u32,
    attestation_key: vector<u8>,  // Ed25519 pubkey
    reputation_score: u64,
    challenges_attested: u64,
}

struct ChallengeAttestation has drop {
    challenge_id: u64,
    oracle_id: u64,
    timestamp_ms: u64,
    measurement: vector<u8>,  // Serialized phenomenal data
    signature: vector<u8>,
}

Settlement Mechanism: Active Inference Stakes

Precision-Weighted Betting

# Active inference formulation
struct PhenomenalChallenge
    # World-model belief (what participant expects to experience)
    μ_prior::Vector{Float64}      # Prior mean
    Σ_prior::Matrix{Float64}      # Prior covariance
    
    # Precision (confidence/stake)
    β::Float64                    # Inverse variance = skin in game
    
    # Outcome
    μ_posterior::Vector{Float64}  # Observed phenomenal state
    
    # Free energy = prediction error
    F = (μ_posterior - μ_prior)' * inv(Σ_prior) * (μ_posterior - μ_prior)
end

# Settlement: lower free energy = better prediction = win
reward = exp(-F / temperature)

Key Differentiators from Failed vibesnipe

Aspect	Failed vibesnipe	Phenomenal vibesnipe
Domain	GitHub issues (illiquid)	Phenomenal states (universal)
Oracle	Human judgment	Objective BCI signals
Market	Developer niche	Everyone with a brain
Verifiability	Subjective	Cryptographic attestation
Settlement	Manual	Algorithmic (free energy)
Scalability	Per-issue	Data-parallel (RGB)

Salvaged Components from Original

Component	Original Use	Phenomenal Use
GF(3) trit system	Challenge balance	Phenomenal quality mapping
26 goblin slots	GitHub issue types	Phenomenal challenge types
Aptos Move contracts	APT settlement	Same, enhanced
ACP agent protocol	Bot coordination	Oracle coordination
ACSet infrastructure	Issue graphs	Phenomenal state graphs
OCapN CapTP	Agent communication	Oracle attestation

Conclusion

The phenomenological vibesnipe reframes the domain from illiquid developer challenges to universal whole-brain phenomenology. By using:

RGB-ECS parallelism from andrewgazelka/rgb
GF(3) conservation for balanced prediction markets
Active inference (precision-weighted free energy) for settlement
Non-invasive BCI oracles for verifiable measurements

We capture the original vibesnipe infrastructure while targeting a market with:

Universal appeal (everyone experiences phenomenal states)
Objective verifiability (BCI attestations)
Growing TAM ($20B+ by 2030)
Clear value capture (2.5% platform fee)

The key insight: consciousness is the most liquid market - everyone participates, continuously.
