which is true only in so much as the Lunarpunk Hyperstition is true, a further mathematical exploration in terms of vector spaces as described in chapter 28 of Pinter’s Abstract Algebra, a DarkFi core text. Created with Deepseek.
AXIOM (Lunarpunk DLWE Isomorphism)
Let Ω be the set of all teleoplexic digital systems. For any S ∈ Ω, define three transformations:
T₁(S) = Markov_Boundary_Problem(S) = (E, B)whereS ⊥ E | B(conditional independence)T₂(S) = ZKP_Problem(S) = (statement, witness)with zero-knowledge propertyT₃(S) = DLWE_Problem(S) = (A, A·s + e, random)where(A, A·s + e) ≈ₛ random
AXIOM: There exists a vector space V over field F (char ≠ 2) such that:
Ωforms a subspace ofVT₁, T₂, T₃are linear isomorphismsΩ → W₁, W₂, W₃ ⊆ VW₁ ≅ W₂ ≅ W₃(isomorphic as vector spaces)The isomorphism preserves three invariant functionals:
M(S) = 1 - I(S; E | B) = ⟨S, e₁⟩for some basis vectore₁Z(S) = Completeness/Complexity = ⟨S, e₂⟩S(S) = 1 - Adv(distinguish) = ⟨S, e₃⟩
{e₁, e₂, e₃}forms an orthogonal basis for a 3D subspace ofV
1. VECTOR SPACE STRUCTURE
Let V = Span{privacy, control, complexity, verifiability, ...} with dim(V) = n.
Define coordinates for any system S:
S = α₁·e₁ + α₂·e₂ + α₃·e₃ + ... + αₙ·eₙwhere:
α₁ = M_score(S)α₂ = Z_score(S)α₃ = S_score(S)The remaining coordinates capture narrative, regulation, etc.
The isomorphism means:
T₁⁻¹ ∘ T₂ : W₂ → W₁ is linear and invertible
T₂⁻¹ ∘ T₃ : W₃ → W₂ is linear and invertible
T₃⁻¹ ∘ T₁ : W₁ → W₃ is linear and invertible2. CONSEQUENCES FOR ZERO-KNOWLEDGE PROOFS
Theorem 1 (ZKP Completeness-Complexity Tradeoff):
If Z_score = ⟨S, e₂⟩ and the isomorphism holds, then for any ZKP system:
Completeness(proof) = k·⟨S, e₂⟩·Complexity(implementation)where k is an isomorphism constant.
Proof sketch:
By the isomorphism, Z_score corresponds to a linear functional in the DLWE space:
⟨S, e₂⟩_ZKP ≡ ⟨T₃(S), f₂⟩_DLWEwhere f₂ is the image of e₂ under the isomorphism. In DLWE space, verification complexity corresponds to lattice dimension n, and completeness corresponds to distinguishing advantage 1/Adv. The linear relation follows from the isomorphism preserving the ratio.
Theorem 2 (Witness Subspace Dimension):
The witness space W for a ZKP statement has dimension:
dim(W) = n - rank(A)where A is the constraint matrix, and this equals 1 - M_score in the Markov boundary representation.
Proof sketch:
In Markov form: S ⊥ E | B. The conditional independence means the joint distribution factorizes. The dimension of the sufficient statistic is dim(B). Under isomorphism:
dim(B) ≡ dim(witness_space) ≡ security_parameter(κ) in DLWEThus M_score = 1 - dim(B)/n = 1 - dim(W)/n.
3. TRADING AS LINEAR OPTIMIZATION
Define the narrative vector N ∈ V representing market perception.
Theorem 3 (Convergence Premium):
The convergence premium is the norm of the projection error:
Premium(P) = ||Proj_{span(e₁,e₂,e₃)^⟂}(N - Π(P))||where Π(P) = (M(P), Z(P), S(P)) in the 3D subspace.
Proof:
By the axiom, Π(P) represents mathematical reality in the invariant subspace. Market narrative N has components outside this subspace. The premium is the distance between narrative and reality in the orthogonal complement.
Theorem 4 (Alpha as Linear Functional):
Alpha generation is a linear functional α : V → ℝ:
α(S) = ⟨w, S⟩where the weight vector w = λ₁·e₁ + λ₂·e₂ + λ₃·e₃ with:
λ₁ = -∂U/∂M (negative: boundary erosion creates alpha)
λ₂ = -1/Z² (negative: obfuscation creates alpha)
λ₃ = +∂AA/∂S (positive: surveillance growth creates alpha)Proof:
This follows directly from the trading rules in the document, reinterpreted as linear functionals in the vector space.
4. CONTROL CENTROID AS FIXED POINT
Theorem 5 (Control Centroid Existence):
There exists a fixed point C* ∈ V (the Control Centroid) where:
[Privacy_Asymmetry, Evidence_Integration, Platform_Capturability] = [1, 0, 1]and this is an attractor in the dynamical system:
dS/dt = A·S + bwhere A is a linear operator with eigenvalues having negative real parts for deviations from C*.
Proof sketch:
The coordinates define a 3D subspace. The condition ∂U_capture/∂t = 0 defines a hyperplane. Their intersection gives C*. The capitalist equilibrium equations:
Builders: max E[Return | Platform_Capturability, Regulatory_Alignment]
Investors: max E[Return | Narrative_Strength, Convergence_Premium]
Users: max E[Utility | Convenience, Privacy_Theater]are all linear or affine in the coordinates, so their simultaneous solution is a linear system.
5. EMPIRICAL PATTERNS AS GEOMETRIC PROPERTIES
Corollary 1 (Privacy Tech Lifecycle):
The observed lifecycle Phase 1 → Phase 2 → Phase 3 is a straight-line trajectory in V:
S(t) = S₀ + t·vwhere direction vector v = (-0.7, -0.5, -0.55, +0.7)/T (for M, Z, S, AA respectively).
Corollary 2 (Regulatory Capture):
Hiring former regulators applies a linear transformation:
ΔS = R·Swhere R is a shear matrix reducing M_score while increasing AA_growth.
Corollary 3 (Complexity Shield):
High VAM (verification abstraction multiplicity) corresponds to:
Z_score = k₁/exp(k₂·VAM)an exponential decay in the e₂ direction.
6. PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION AS BASIS SELECTION
The trading framework chooses a basis for V:
B_trading = {e_boundary, e_verification, e_surveillance, e_narrative}and constructs portfolios as:
Portfolio = Σ_i β_i·proj_{e_i}(S)where:
Long positions:
β_i > 0for control infrastructure directionsShort positions:
β_i < 0for privacy narrative directions
The 60/40 allocation is:
Portfolio = 0.6·proj_{e_surveillance} - 0.4·proj_{e_narrative}7. VOLATILITY AS NORM FLUCTUATIONS
Theorem 6 (Risk Adjustment):
The volatility scaling σ_adj = 1/Historical_Volatility is equivalent to:
σ_adj = 1/||ΔS||where ΔS is the vector of past changes in system state.
The adjusted position size is:
Position = (Base/||ΔS||)·|⟨w, S⟩|a linear functional scaled by inverse norm of recent movements.
8. THE ULTIMATE LINEAR MODEL
Combining all, we get the complete system:
dS/dt = A·S + B·u(t) + noise
y(t) = C·S(t) (observable metrics)
α(t) = wᵀ·S(t) (alpha generation)
Premium(t) = ||N(t) - Π·S(t)||where:
A= dynamics matrix (control infrastructure growth)B= input matrix (regulatory shocks, tech breakthroughs)C= observation matrix (extracts M,Z,S,AA scores)Π= projection to invariant subspacew= alpha weight vector
9. WHAT FOLLOWS (SUMMARY)
All privacy/control systems live in one vector space
VIsomorphism = change of basis between problem representations
Market dynamics = linear transformations in this space
Alpha = linear functional detecting mispricing between narrative and reality
Convergence = attraction to fixed point
C*(Control Centroid)Trading = constructing portfolios along principal axes of
VRisk management = norm calculations in this space
The axiom reduces the complex interdisciplinary framework to linear algebra over an abstract vector space, where:
Cryptographic primitives are basis vectors
Market dynamics are linear operators
Trading signals are linear functionals
Convergence is eigenvalue analysis
This formalization makes testable predictions:
The 3D invariant subspace
(M,Z,S)should have stable geometric relationshipsSystem trajectories should be approximately linear in
VThe control centroid
C*should be a universal attractorAlpha generation should be linearly separable in feature space
Thus, assuming the axiom true: The entire Lunarpunk framework becomes an application of finite-dimensional linear algebra to crypto-economic systems, where the deep mathematics is not in the proofs but in the vector space structure itself—a structure that allegedly emerges from first principles of information, computation, and capital.
Until next time, TTFN.
