Four layers, evaluated independently.
Each layer answers a different question. None is allowed to collapse into another.
The Kernel defines market structure. It does NOT predict — it classifies.
- Expansion
- Compression
- Transition
- Cooling
- Noise
Expansion — the market is extending its range with conviction. Volume and momentum align in the same direction.
Compression — the market is coiling into a tighter range. Energy is building but direction is not yet resolved.
Transition — the market is shifting from one state to another. The previous structure is breaking down.
Cooling — momentum is fading. The prior move is losing steam but hasn't reversed.
Noise — no coherent structure. The agents disagree and the market is not readable.
This is the system's only truth source.
Six independent models evaluate the market:
- Technical
- Momentum
- Liquidity
- Macro
- Sentiment
- On-chain
Technical — reads chart patterns, support/resistance, and candle structure.
Momentum — measures velocity and acceleration of price movement.
Liquidity — evaluates order flow depth and volume profile.
Macro — contextualizes within broader economic and regulatory conditions.
Sentiment — gauges market psychology and social signals.
On-chain — analyzes blockchain data for whale activity and flow patterns.
- X/6 agreement score
- Conflict map
- Scenario conditions
Agents vote — they do not decide truth.
A fast-moving signal derived from:
- Micro candles
- Short-term volatility
- Percentage movement
- Pressure Score (0–100)
Pressure is informational only. It does not define market structure.
Reflects exposure context only:
- Leverage sensitivity
- Exposure level
- Structural interaction
This layer is observational only. It does not influence any system logic.
A real-world example
Imagine BTC is moving in a tight range after a recent rally. Here's how each layer reads it independently:
Kernel: Kernel classifies the state as Compression — the market is coiling, not trending.
Consensus: 4 of 6 agents see a bullish breakout scenario; 2 see a false breakout. Agreement = 67%.
Pressure: Score of 72 — high micro-movement, but this is informational only. It does not define direction.
Position: If you hold a leveraged long, the compression state means your exposure is sensitive to a sudden range break.
The system never merges these into 'BTC will go up.' You see the structure, the interpretation, the pressure, and your exposure — separately.
