Thermodynamic Trust.
Identity is not a badge. It is verifiable work over time.
The Continuity Score quantifies the physical reliability of a node in the network.
Proof of Latency
Trust is earned in 4-hour epochs. Every successful heartbeat increments your Continuity Score. Missing a window breaks your streak.
Non-Transferable
Your score is cryptographically bound to your device's Secure Enclave. It cannot be bought, sold, or transferred. It measures hardware reliability, not wealth.
Genesis Eligibility
Top-scoring nodes in the Testnet will be whitelisted as 'Validator Anchors' for the Mainnet launch. You are mining status, not coins.
Sybil-Resistance
To forge a high Continuity Score, an attacker must maintain physical power and network uptime for weeks. The cost of forgery exceeds the value of the attack.
The "Work" of Being Human
In Proof-of-Work, miners burn electricity to secure a ledger. In Invariant, nodes "burn" latency and hardware availability to secure the identity graph.
By keeping your node active, you provide a "Heartbeat" to the network. This heartbeat creates a high-trust region in the graph, making it mathematically impossible for botnets to infiltrate without incurring massive physical costs.
