Architecture

SignalNetwork Technical Specification

SignalNetwork is built on a three-layer architecture with mathematical formalization at every level. These pages contain the complete formula set — enough to implement the protocol from scratch.

Three-Layer Model

1 ProofNet Causality substrate — how proofs relate over time

2 ProofMesh Visualization layer — graph of proof interconnections

3 SignalRank Trust reference — behavioral trust scoring derived from layers 1 & 2

Score Engine

SignalRank Math

Signal vectors, proof scoring, coherence persistence, spiral detection, adaptive weights, temporal decay. The user-visible score.

Trust Layer

ProofNet Math

Trust functions, claim validation, cross-node proof chains, dispute resolution, node dormancy & revival.

Network Layer

ProofMesh Math

Resonance, one-hop transfer law, full mesh dynamics, centrality, anti-mimic detection, Sybil resistance, edge pruning.

Immutability

Ledger Protocol

Hash chains, Merkle roots, ChronoLock seals, proof redaction, Protocol 043 tier system, fork choice.

Governance

Governance Math

SignalRank-weighted quorum, supermajority rules, participation rate, vote weight decay, override chains, emergency power denial.
