Key Concepts

Must-Know Terms

• Cell: Individual network node (simulated E2B sandbox)
• Energy (rUv): Simulated cryptocurrency for operations
• Genesis Node: Bootstrap node with 10x multiplier
• Phase: Lifecycle stage (Genesis, Growth, Maturation, Independence)
• Sustainability: Earned/spent energy ratio (must be > 1.0)
• Preferential Attachment: New nodes connect to high-fitness nodes

Phase Milestones

• 10K nodes: Genesis → Growth
• 50K nodes: Growth → Maturation
• 100K nodes: Maturation → Independence
• 120K nodes: Simulation complete

Validation Thresholds

• Genesis multiplier: 10.0x initially
• Energy accumulation: > 1000 rUv in genesis
• Success rate: > 70% task completion
• Sustainability: > 1.0 earned/spent ratio
• Connectivity: > 5 avg connections (genesis), > 10 (maturation)
