Market Mechanics

LMSR Pricing

import math

class AbleMarket:
    """LMSR market for *Able proposal outcomes."""

    def __init__(self, proposal_id: str, liquidity: float = 1000.0):
        self.proposal_id = proposal_id
        self.liquidity = liquidity  # b parameter
        self.yes_shares = 0.0
        self.no_shares = 0.0

    def cost(self) -> float:
        """Current cost function C(q)."""
        return self.liquidity * math.log(
            math.exp(self.yes_shares / self.liquidity) +
            math.exp(self.no_shares / self.liquidity)
        )

    def price_yes(self) -> float:
        """Probability estimate for acceptance."""
        exp_yes = math.exp(self.yes_shares / self.liquidity)
        exp_no = math.exp(self.no_shares / self.liquidity)
        return exp_yes / (exp_yes + exp_no)

    def buy_yes(self, amount: float) -> float:
        """Buy YES shares, return cost."""
        old_cost = self.cost()
        self.yes_shares += amount
        return self.cost() - old_cost

    def buy_no(self, amount: float) -> float:
        """Buy NO shares, return cost."""
        old_cost = self.cost()
        self.no_shares += amount
        return self.cost() - old_cost

WEV Extraction Formula

WEV(W₀ → W₁) = Σᵢ [V(entityᵢ, W₁) - V(entityᵢ, W₀)] × P(transition)

Where:
- W₀ = pre-proposal world state
- W₁ = post-proposal world state
- V(entity, W) = value of entity in world W
- P(transition) = market-implied probability

Example: AIP-137 WEV Calculation

def calculate_aip137_wev():
    accounts_at_risk = 10_000_000      # Ed25519 accounts
    avg_value_apt = 100                 # Average APT per account
    crqc_probability = 0.15             # Market consensus
    value_at_risk_ratio = 0.001         # Fraction lost to quantum attack

    wev = accounts_at_risk * avg_value_apt * crqc_probability * value_at_risk_ratio
    return wev  # ~150,000 APT

Oracle Resolution

GitHub Status Polling

interface ProposalOracle {
  ecosystem: 'aptos' | 'swift' | 'srfi';

  async pollStatus(proposalId: string): Promise<{
    status: 'draft' | 'review' | 'accepted' | 'rejected';
    lastUpdated: Date;
    sourceHash: string;
  }>;

  async submitAttestation(
    proposalId: string,
    outcome: boolean,
    proof: string
  ): Promise<void>;
}

// Aptos AIP oracle
const aipOracle: ProposalOracle = {
  ecosystem: 'aptos',

  async pollStatus(aipNumber: string) {
    const url = `https://api.github.com/repos/aptos-foundation/AIPs/contents/aips/aip-${aipNumber}.md`;
    const response = await fetch(url);
    const content = atob((await response.json()).content);

    const statusMatch = content.match(/Status:\s*(\w+)/i);
    return {
      status: statusMatch?.[1].toLowerCase(),
      lastUpdated: new Date(),
      sourceHash: sha256(content)
    };
  }
};

Multi-Sig Resolution (Move)

module able_markets::oracle {
    use std::vector;

    struct OracleConfig has key {
        signers: vector<address>,
        threshold: u64,  // e.g., 3-of-5
    }

    struct Attestation has store {
        proposal_id: vector<u8>,
        outcome: bool,
        source_hash: vector<u8>,
        attester: address,
    }

    public fun resolve(
        config: &OracleConfig,
        attestations: &vector<Attestation>,
        proposal_id: vector<u8>
    ): bool {
        let matching = count_matching(attestations, &proposal_id);
        assert!(matching >= config.threshold, E_INSUFFICIENT_ATTESTATIONS);

        // Majority outcome wins
        let yes_count = count_outcome(attestations, &proposal_id, true);
        yes_count > matching / 2
    }
}

self→Self Autopoietic Loop

The *Able pattern exhibits autopoiesis:

self (proposal instance)
    │
    ├──produces──► Self (protocol trait type)
    │                    │
    │                    ▼
    │              Self ──reconstitutes──► self (new proposals extending it)
    │                                           │
    └───────────────────────────────────────────┘

Cross-Ecosystem Arbitrage

def cross_ecosystem_signal(swift_price: float, aptos_price: float) -> str:
    """
    If Swift adopts a pattern, Aptos often follows.
    Arbitrage the information asymmetry.
    """
    if swift_price > 0.7 and aptos_price < 0.4:
        return "BUY Aptos analog - Swift leading indicator"
    elif aptos_price > 0.8 and swift_price < 0.3:
        return "BUY Swift analog - Aptos leading indicator"
    else:
        return "No arbitrage opportunity"

GF(3) Market Conservation

Long (+1) + Market Maker (0) + Short (-1) = 0

For every bullish bet, there's a bearish counterparty.
The market maker provides liquidity but takes no directional risk.
Value is conserved across the market.

Asymmetric Bets: High Impact, Low Probability

The market systematically underprices low-probability, high-impact proposals.

Top Asymmetric Opportunities

Proposal	Prob	WEV	Asymmetric Score	Why Low Prob
AIP-120 (Trading Engine)	25%	36.5M APT	109.5M	Massive engineering; DEX competition
AIP-119 (Reduce Staking)	15%	5.5M APT	31.2M	Validators oppose; reduces income
AIP-130 (Signed Integers)	65%	50M APT	26.9M	Compiler changes; testing burden
AIP-125 (Scheduled Txs)	40%	10M APT	15.0M	Privacy concerns; complexity

Asymmetric Score Formula

AsymScore = WEV × (1 - P) / P

High score = high impact × low probability

Half-Kelly Portfolio (1000 APT)

AIP-130 (Signed Int):  125 APT (12.5%)  - Highest E[V]
AIP-125 (Scheduled):    50 APT (5.0%)   - DeFi automation
SE-0495 (@cdecl):      125 APT (12.5%)  - Swift systems
SRFI-265 (CFG):        125 APT (12.5%)  - Parser ecosystem
Cash reserve:          487 APT (48.8%)  - Dry powder

Open Games Formalization

LMSR markets are formalized as compositional open games with Para/Optic structure:

        ┌───────────────┐
  State─│               │─New State    (forward: play)
        │  LMSR Market  │
Utility←│               │←Outcome      (backward: coplay)
        └───────────────┘

Game Composition

;; Sequential: Markets → Arbitrage layer
(sequential-compose markets arbitrage)

;; Parallel: 3 ecosystem markets running concurrently
(parallel-compose
  (parallel-compose aptos-market swift-market)
  scheme-market)

GF(3) Game Classification

Trit	Game Role	Examples
-1	Validator	Equilibrium checker, auditor
0	Coordinator	Market maker, arbitrageur
+1	Generator	Trader, liquidity provider

Validator (-1) + Arbitrageur (0) + Trader (+1) = 0 ✓

Nash Equilibrium as Fixed Point

((:equilibrium market) state true-probability)
;; => true when market-price ≈ true-probability

Cross-Ecosystem Arbitrage Game

(defn arbitrage-game [market-a market-b correlation]
  ;; Play: Identify mispricing via correlation
  ;; Coplay: Profit from correlated resolution
  ;; Equilibrium: No-arb when prices reflect correlation

WEV Derivational Positions

Proposals map to 5 derivational positions from the Unworld model:

Position	Seed	Trits	Color	SICP	WEV Source
FIBRED	d16bb89f	(0,1,-1)	#19F473	procedures	bridge creation
SHEAF	9c872538	(0,1,-1)	#1CF66E	state	time windows (decays)

AGENTS	8ac473c8	(-1,0,1)	#BE01C1	machines	routing success

GF(3) Conservation: Sum of all trits = -3 ≡ 0 (mod 3) ✓

Kelly Betting with Lazy Knowledge

Front-run information asymmetry by betting on intermediate milestones:

Strategy	Odds Move	Edge	Half-Kelly	Direction
self_funding_bounty	33%→70%	37%	275 APT	YES
early_champion_signal	33%→60%	27%	225 APT	YES
bounded_progress_dca	33%→55%	22%	175 APT	HEDGE
antihydra_hedge	67%→85%	18%	125 APT	NO

Expected ROI: 104% on 800 APT allocated
