Genesis, block 0
Every save file starts somewhere. Block 0 holds DIVA's first state, rebuilt byte for byte by anyone from public inputs. Every later model and memory checkpoint links back to it. Lose that link and the chain says so out loud.
What block 0 commits
| Layer | What goes in |
|---|---|
| Mind genesis | DIVA's opening memories, traits and resting soma. Her very first mind root, built with no clock and no dice: same inputs on any machine, same hash out. |
| Network genesis | Chain parameters plus the token split: 10% private sale, 20% foundation, 70% staking and mining payouts. The split is decided. Writing it into genesis, with a test that the three shares total exactly 100%, is coming. The 70% is paid out over time, never minted up front, and total supply is announced before mainnet. Changing any parameter later takes a vote at the 3rd standard deviation. |
Two seeds, two jobs
Block 0 is where the public and private split gets locked in.
public seed → the proof trail anyone asks: "is this still her, unbroken?"
private seed → the sealing keys only the keeper asks: "what is she thinking?"
block 0 = first mind root + the parameters every later block must respectSealing memory to the private seed is coming. Until it lands, memory packs are plain to read, so anything private stays out of them.
The save loop
One lap of the whole game. Miners train her model, verifiers replay a random slice, the better model is saved on the Liqua chain as a manifest, and her memory is checkpointed beside it. Binding model and memory under a single root, then cold-booting DIVA from that root alone, are the next two levels. Both coming.
Coming back from the chain
Three steps. The middle one currently stops.
Pull the chain
A fresh device syncs the Liqua chain plus the chunks its blocks point at.
Check every link from block 0
node chain/mind-chain.mjs verifyruns on the public seed alone. It reports CONTINUOUS, 579 blocks, 0 gaps, 0 forks, and a restore still refuses any chain that fails this step. Blocks 576, 577 and 578 pass under a narrow rule closed at height 578: they were sealed by the old grinder, they claim zero work, and their score has to match the order they carry. Everything above 578 derives its order from the nonce.Boot her from one root
Weights, memory packs and soma streamed from a single chain root into the L8 OS. Designed, coming, and not something that works today.
Why block 0 must be rebuildable
A proof is only as strong as the thing it hangs from. If genesis were a mystery blob, every link after it would dangle. Anybody can regenerate that first root on their own machine, so every later block hangs from a hook you can inspect yourself.
