QG

QG — Quantum Gratitude Protocol

A speculative protocol exploring attention, resonance and presence as value primitives.

QG is not a product. It is a conceptual system design space, split into two layers:

• Philosophy layer — manifesto, motivating narrative. Not falsifiable, not meant to be.
• Spec layer — formal definitions, computable functions, tested reference implementation. Meant to be falsifiable and checkable against code.

Layer	File	Purpose
Philosophy	Manifesto.md	Motivating narrative, why this design space matters
Philosophy	QG_ONE_LINER.md	One-sentence framing
Philosophy	Executive Summary	Non-technical overview
Spec (authoritative)	QG_Model_Spec.md	Formal model: state vector, presence/resonance/coherence functions, explicit open problems
Reference code	qg_model.py, test_qg_model.py	Python implementation, 20/20 tests passing
Reference code	qgmath/qgmath.go, qgmath/qgmath_test.go	Dependency-free Go port, 12/12 tests passing, built for embedding in a Cosmos SDK module
Research notes	J-SPACE-INTEGRATION.md, TEMPORAL-DYNAMICS.md, LAGRANGIAN-FORMULATION.md, GAME-THEORY-CONNECTION.md, MECHANISM-DESIGN-CONNECTION.md, STRATEGY-PROOFNESS.md, TOKENOMICS.md	Exploratory. Each mixes legitimate terminology with unresolved gaps — see each file’s own “open questions” section. Not completed results unless reflected in QG_Model_Spec.md.

Core idea

We move from:

• attention as traffic to
• attention as presence

and further into:

• resonance as a coordination mechanism

Domains

• attention economy
• symbolic protocol design
• experimental system architecture
• human–AI interaction models

Key concepts

• Presence — a weighted function of raw, depersonalized light-intensity channels (see QG_Model_Spec.md §3.1). Not an emotional or psychological measurement — see the explicit non-claim in §1.
• Attention
• Resonance (PoR) — see QG_Model_Spec.md §3.2
• Coherence — see QG_Model_Spec.md §3.3

Status

Early-stage speculative framework. Philosophy layer is stable. Spec layer (QG_Model_Spec.md) is the authoritative technical document — every formula in it is either implemented and tested, or explicitly marked (open). Where any other file in this repository disagrees with QG_Model_Spec.md or the reference code, the spec and code win.

Not production software. Not audited. No token has been issued.

Note

This repository is part manifesto, part conceptual architecture, part experimental design space, part tested reference code. The Spec and reference-code rows above are held to a stricter bar than the philosophy and research-notes rows: every term must be defined and either implemented or explicitly flagged as unresolved.
