Mycelith Voting System

Mycelith Voting System

The Mycelith Voting System is a decentralized, senary-based decision-making mechanism designed to ensure transparent, fair, and ethically governed voting within the Seigr ecosystem. Mycelith directly integrates with the Rebel Earthling License (RE-L) to enforce ethical compliance, track contributor influence, and uphold fair resource allocation.

Mycelith is designed to be:

• Adaptive – Decisions evolve across six structured layers, mirroring the decentralized intelligence of mycelial networks.
• Transparent – All votes are publicly auditable, and contributions are traceable via Contribution Units (CUs).
• Resilient – Voting outcomes dynamically adjust based on long-term community engagement and commitment.

Mycelith & RE-L: Ethical Voting in Seigr

Unlike traditional voting systems, Mycelith ensures that decisions:

• Are directly linked to Contribution Units (CUs) – A participant’s voting weight is proportional to their documented contributions.
• Reinforce ethical licensing – Votes that contradict RE-L’s ethical compliance can be flagged by Hyphen Nodes for review.
• Are governed by Seigr-Native enforcement – All Mycelith outcomes are executed via Seigr Capsules.

This ensures that voting power is earned through verifiable contributions rather than arbitrary social metrics.

Six-Layer Voting Structure

Mycelith is structured around six sequential voting layers, where each layer increases the influence of consistent participants. Each layer ($L_{1}$ to $L_{6}$) allows for vote refinement, discussion, and weighted commitment tracking.

Layer	Description	Influence Scaling
Layer 1 (Initiation)	Initial vote, minimal weight.	$S_{1}=1.0$
Layer 2 (Observation)	Minor weight increase; early revisions allowed.	$S_{2}=1.2$
Layer 3 (Consensus Building)	Influence increases as participants justify positions.	$S_{3}=1.44$
Layer 4 (Commitment Phase)	Higher weight to consistent votes; switching is penalized.	$S_{4}=1.728$
Layer 5 (Final Validation)	Near-max influence; Hyphen Nodes review integrity.	$S_{5}=2.0736$
Layer 6 (Execution Layer)	Decision is finalized and executed via Seigr Capsules.	$S_{6}=2.48832$

Contribution-Based Voting Weight (CBVW)

Each participant’s voting influence is directly linked to their Contribution Units (CUs). This is measured by the Contribution-Based Voting Weight (CBVW), replacing the outdated WCAS system.

Let:

• $V_{i}$ be participant $i$’s base voting weight.
• $W_{i}$ be their weighted influence based on their Contribution Units.

Aggregating Votes for the Final Decision

The final vote outcome $O$ is determined using senary influence scaling.

Each participant’s weighted vote is calculated as:

$W_{j}^{(i)}=W_{i}\cdot S_{j}$

where:

• $W_{i}$ is the participant's base weight.
• $S_{j}$ is the senary scaling factor at layer $j$.

Votes are aggregated using:

$O={\text{sign}}\left(\sum _{j=1}^{6}\sum _{i=1}^{n}W_{j}^{(i)}\cdot V_{i}^{(j)}\right)$

where:

• $V_{i}^{(j)}$ is participant $i$’s vote at layer $j$ (either +1 for "yes" or -1 for "no").
• $W_{j}^{(i)}$ is their weighted influence.

The decision passes if $O=+1$, otherwise it is rejected.

Example Calculation

Consider three participants:

1. Participant A: 10 CUs, votes "yes" consistently. 2. Participant B: 5 CUs, switches from "no" to "yes." 3. Participant C: 3 CUs, votes "no" consistently.

Using senary scaling:

• Participant A: $W_{A}=(1.0+10)\times S_{j}$
• Participant B: $W_{B}=(1.0+5)\times S_{j}$, with a 50% penalty for switching.
• Participant C: $W_{C}=(1.0+3)\times S_{j}$

Total votes:

$O={\text{sign}}(12\cdot (+1)+4.5\cdot (+1)+4\cdot (-1))=+1$

The motion passes.

RE-L & Mycelith: Integrated Ethical Governance

Mycelith enforces RE-L at every step:

• ⭐ Voting is weighted by Contribution Units (CUs) – Prevents influence from speculative participants.
• ⭐ Ethical Violations Trigger Hyphen Node Reviews – Ensures that RE-L compliance is upheld.
• ⭐ Decisions are executed as Seigr Capsules – Provides cryptographic integrity and tamper resistance.

Conclusion

The Mycelith Voting System is an adaptive, ethical, and decentralized decision-making model designed for long-term sustainability, fairness, and transparency within Seigr. By linking voting weight directly to verified contributions, Mycelith prevents manipulation while ensuring fair representation for all engaged contributors.

Mycelith is the foundation of Seigr’s governance, ensuring that ethical, community-driven decisions shape the ecosystem’s evolution.
