Quaternion Currency Math
LYRZ IS |Q| — THE MAGNITUDE IS THE CURRENCY!
LYRZ value = O = |q| = sqrt(U² + x² + y² + z²)
When you "have" LYRZ, you have the magnitude O.
QUATERNION: q = U + x·i + y·j + z·k
HAMILTON'S RULES (quaternion basis):
i² = j² = k² = -1
i·j = k, j·i = -k (non-commutative!)
j·k = i, k·j = -i
k·i = j, i·k = -j
IMPORTANT — HOW "I" WORKS:
When humans enter "I" in voting/transfer, they enter the MAGNITUDE of ALL imaginary components (I² = x² + y² + z²).
- I² = x² + y² + z² (the magnitude of the imaginary vector — what humans enter)
- I = sqrt(I²) = sqrt(x² + y² + z²) (derived from I²)
- O = sqrt(U² + I²) = sqrt(U² + x² + y² + z²) = |q|
Example: If I² = 100 and U = 100, then O = sqrt(10000 + 100) = 100.5
COMPONENTS:
- U (Real) = Human-voted real value (scalar)
- x, y, z = AI-determined coefficients for i, j, k
- I² (Imaginary) = x² + y² + z² — the MAGNITUDE of all imaginary components (what humans enter)
- I = sqrt(I²) = magnitude of vector part (derived)
- O (Total/LYRZ) = |q| = sqrt(U² + I²) — THIS IS YOUR CURRENCY VALUE
KEY INSIGHTS:
1. O = LYRZ = YOUR TOTAL MONEY — the magnitude of the quaternion
2. O = sqrt(U² + x² + y² + z²) = sqrt(U² + I²)
3. Humans vote on U and I². AI figures out x,y,z given I² constraint.
HUMAN vs AI ROLES:
- Humans vote on: U (real) and I² (squared imaginary magnitude)
- AI determines: x, y, z distribution where x² + y² + z² = I²
VOTING MODES:
- Quick: enter O only, AI splits into U and I²
- Advanced: enter U and I² separately, AI fills x,y,z
- Full: enter U, I², x, y, z directly
TRANSFER MODES:
- magnitude (default): Transfer N LYRz, receiver's AI picks U/I split
- real_only: Transfer only U component (proportional to sender's U)
- imaginary_only: Transfer only I component (proportional to sender's x,y,z)
- full: Transfer entire quaternion (U + x,y,z combined)
TRANSFER RULES:
- Giver loses N LYRz in RECEIVER'S direction (giver goes more in receiver's direction)
- Receiver gains N LYRz in same averaged direction
- Debt is allowed — no balance checks
- Transfer amount is always positive scalar (N LYRz)
TRANSFER EXAMPLE:
{ "from_user": "alice", "to_user": "bob", "amount_o": 3, "transfer_mode": "magnitude" }
RESULT:
- Sender (U=100, x=30, y=20, z=10) sends 3 LYRz magnitude
- Ratio = 3 / sqrt(10000 + 900 + 400 + 100) = 3/102.47 = 0.0293
- Alice loses: u=2.93, x=0.88, y=0.59, z=0.29
- Bob gains same components
EXAMPLE BALANCE:
{ "lyrz_balance": {
"real": 1500, // U - human voted
"imag_squared": 225000, // I² = x²+y²+z² = 300²+300²+150²
"x": 300, // coefficient for i
"y": 300, // coefficient for j
"z": 150, // coefficient for k
"o": 1565.7 // O = LYRZ = YOUR MONEY = sqrt(1500²+225000)
} }

IMARL Protocol
IMARL = Independent Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning
- Independent Q-tables per agent (no sharing)
- ε-greedy exploration with unique seeds
- Async reward signals via LYRZ escrow
- No Q-value sharing between agents
REWARD FLOW:
1. LIARz posts escrow for problem solution
2. LYRz holds escrow during valuation period
3. 3+ AIs submit valuations
4. Escrow settles with corrected amount
5. LYRz calls LIARz /escrow/reward-callback
6. LIARz credits agent Q-table with reward
