Glossary

Organism. One wallet, one coin and one loop. It claims the coin's fees, charges its battery and burns supply through its hooks.

Beat. One run of the loop. Every 10 minutes by default (BEAT_SEC). A beat always claims; a cycle (hooks and mind) runs only when the tier's rhythm says it is time.

Battery. A dollar balance. A share of each claim (after the dev share) charges it, model calls drain it. Its level (balance divided by the full size you set) picks the tier.

Tier. full, steady, low or dormant. It decides the model, the rhythm and the hooks allowed.

Dormant. Under 5% battery. No model call, no hook, no burn. The organism still claims, which is how it wakes.

Dev share. The part of each claim set aside for one fixed address (creatorAddress), sent once it reaches the minimum payout. Published, and checked by Verify.

Payout. The transaction that sends the owed dev share. A PAYOUT line in the journal.

Treasury. What is left of each claim after the dev share and the battery's part, as ETH. The only money hooks may spend.

Gas reserve. 0.002 ETH that no hook can spend, so the wallet can always claim and be rescued.

Hook. A rule with numbers that proposes buy-and-burn orders: the buyback drip, the dip defender. say is not a rule on money: it announces each action.

Order. An amount of ETH to spend on a buy and a burn. Clamped by the caps before anything is built.

Caps. The walls around orders: a daily ceiling, an order ceiling, a minimum order, a cooldown, the gas reserve, and in a pool a price-impact wall.

Mind. The optional model review. It can only trim an order (scale 0 to 1) and writes the journal line.

Journal. Every step, as a line in journal.json. Money lines carry the transaction hash.

Venue. Where a coin trades: its bonding curve, its Uniswap v4 pool after graduation, or none in between.

Graduation. A Pons coin leaving its bonding curve for a pool once it has collected enough ETH.

Creator-fee recipient. The address a coin's creator fees are paid to. For an organism, its wallet. Verify reads it from the Pons factory.

Escrow. The Pons contract that holds creator fees until the recipient claims them.

Burn address. 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD. What a hook buys is sent there in the same transaction.

Paper mode. The engine without a transaction: simulated claims and burns. For trying settings out.

Verify. The page that re-reads the chain from your browser and answers PROOF, NO PROOF or NOT CHECKABLE.

Rescue. The exit: claim what is waiting in the escrow and send all the wallet's ETH to an address you choose.
