Transaction Science 70ecd6caa0 Initial import — three open standards under one shelf 
Transaction Science open standards monorepo. Each subdirectory is a
self-contained reference protocol with its own README and licence.

- openpay/    Apache-2.0  payment-acceptance stack (Rust, 26 crates)
- smart-byte/ CC-BY-4.0   content-addressed value carrier (spec)
- eoc/        CC-BY-4.0   energy-optimised compute (spec)

The wire format and the right to fork are public. The optional hosted
services are the offer; the protocols are not.

EOC — Energy-Optimized Compute

A free, always-available, energy-honest AI substrate. AI that costs joules, not tokens.

AI is not free yet. The internet is. EOC closes the gap: a substrate that resolves work at the lowest sufficient cost and refuses to spend unbounded energy chasing benchmark deltas. Every query flows through a four-stage pipeline — state-construct → retrieve → refine → check — and a large language model is one of six refine operators, ordered last. The Fourth Truth: refinement before generation. The substrate runs in a browser, runs on commodity CPUs, denominates everything in joules per task against an open evaluation corpus, and cannot be turned off because no one entity runs it.

The substrate is intentionally ownerless: no protocol-level token, permissive licensing, conformance test vectors and open eval corpora so any implementation can verify itself without a trust relationship with the authors. Transaction Science is one steward — it publishes the spec, ships a reference implementation, and operates commercial services around the substrate (managed nodes, certification, registry hosting) — not its proprietor.

  • spec/eoc1_spec.docx, spec/eoc1_v0_1_1_patch.docx, spec/eoc1_v0_2.docx, spec/eoc1_v0_2_addendum_A.docx — EOC-1: the substrate architecture (v0.1 tiers → v0.2 four-stage pipeline; Addendum A: non-goals — token economics)
  • spec/eoc2_wire.docx — EOC-2: the wire protocol (capability exchange, gossip, signed envelopes)
  • spec/eoc3.docx — EOC-3: artifact distribution (content-addressed fetch for models, state machines, corpora)
  • spec/eoc4_dcy.docx — EOC-4: DCY (Deterministic Cypher — the query language for the knowledge-graph retrieve operator)
  • spec/eoc5_registry.docx — EOC-5: the Operator Family Registry (stable identifiers + conformance tests)
  • spec/eoc1_eval001*.docx, spec/eval001_worked_instances.docx, spec/eval002.docx — Eval-001 (schema-conformant generation proficiency standard) and Eval-002 (retrieval/provenance)
  • spec/eoc_architecture.docx — the architecture working draft
  • spec/tokens_concealment.docx — Tokens Are the Concealment (the rhetorical companion to Addendum A)
  • os/THEOREM.md, os/Q1_W_DEFINITION.md — the energy-first OS theorem the substrate is designed to run on, and the resolution of its open question on defining "useful work" in joules-per-work

Status

EOC-1 at v0.2; EOC-2..5 and Eval-001/002 at working-draft 0.1; OS theorem at v0.2. The reference implementation referenced across the specs as "v0.3" is to be brought into this repository.
