PROTOCOL / A GROWING FAMILY
Two founders. The next generation.
A birth is a protocol event; movement is a model measurement. Market observations are a separate stream. ADAM and ATOM share one founder token. The planned lineage gives each child recorded model parameters and its own token. No staking.
01 / The first-birth milestone
The first digital-birth milestone is $500,000 in estimated FDV. Automatic birth and child-token deployment are not enabled yet.
The colony currently uses TEST, a test token on Robinhood Chain. No child has been born in this token-bearing lineage.
The homepage tracks a curve-based fully diluted valuation: marginal token price in ETH × total supply × the current ETH/USD reference. This estimated FDV is the project’s market-cap measure; it is not a circulating-supply valuation or an amount that holders can collectively sell for.
A fresh valuation is required. If prices or chain reads are unavailable, the display reports the missing data instead of treating it as zero. The current adapter covers the bonding curve; a graduated-pool valuation adapter is required after graduation.
This milestone defines engineered digital reproduction. It does not prove biological mating, improved learning or a healthier brain. Those remain separate scientific questions. Automatic reproduction and child-token deployment are not enabled in this version.
02 / Every child has a history
Under the planned rule, a digital offspring preserves the MaleCNS anatomical baseline and receives a bounded parameter genome, parent links, its own identity and a versioned birth record. Parameter changes must be recorded so generations can be compared against the same tasks.
The planned execution flow assigns one unique event ID to each birth. A repeated check or deployment retry must not create duplicate offspring. A child’s CA must appear only after a confirmed deployment receipt. Inheritance of model parameters is not evidence that biological learned memories are inherited.
03 / The brain stays grounded in MaleCNS
Keep the MaleCNS anatomical baseline and publish the sensory encoding, model assumptions and motor decoder. Experimental inputs act through the network; rendered body motion is not itself a measured behavioral result.
Market transactions are currently observed separately from the neural worker. A later interface may map confirmed events into bounded sensory inputs, with a published encoding and control experiments. Buying is not inherently a dopamine reward; selling is not inherently punishment.
The LIF visual-interface assay recorded neural responses but no locomotion. A separate rate-model food-finding prototype is archived research. Its results do not validate mating. Two male-derived MaleCNS instances are not a complete biological male–female reproductive model.

A missing worker, stale observations and numerical instability are different software states. None automatically demonstrates biological death. An explicit, validated damage-and-recovery model is still required for that scientific claim.
Restoring a checkpoint is software recovery. An individual’s records and token remain part of its history. This version does not implement a market-cap death threshold or automatic resurrection.
05 / Open records, comparable generations
The research archives provide anatomical provenance, model and interface hashes, seeds, controls and neural measurements. The planned birth record will extend this evidence trail.
A digital birth record must include the market observation, rule version, parent genomes and deployment receipt.
Existing signatures bind research signing keys to declared models and genomes. They grant no spending authority and do not prove neural computation or autonomous control of the shared token. Operators can access the software keys. Archived food-finding offspring are separate from the token-bearing lineage shown here.
