Multi-agent coordination and collective sense-making are already well established tech in swarm robotics & controls engineering.

With #TokenEngineering, we can leverage similar tools for the coordination of socio-economic systems towards mutual goals.

Rather than being reductionist & mechanistic, Systems Engineering offers a holistic approach to risk mitigation & the safe design of public infrastructure.

From Curved Bonding to Configuration Spaces
N2 - Bonding curves are continuous liquidity mechanisms which are used in market design for cryptographically-supported token economies. Tokens are atomic units of state information which are cryptographically verifiable in peer-to-peer networks. Bonding curves are an example of an enforceable mechanism through which participating agents influence this state. By designing such mechanisms, an engineer may establish the topological structure of a token economy without presupposing the utilities or associated actions of the agents within that economy. This is accomplished by introducing configuration spaces, which are proper subsets of the global state space representing all achievable states under the designed mechanisms. Any global properties true for all points in the configuration space are true for all possible sequences of actions on the part of agents. This paper generalizes the notion of a bonding curve to formalize the relationship between cryptographically enforced mechanisms and their associated configuration spaces, using invariant properties of conservation functions. We then proceed to apply this framework to analyze the augmented bonding curve design, which is currently under development by a project in the non-profit funding sector.

Calculus studies rates of change over time. In crypto design today, temporal dynamics are far too often oversimplified, or left out altogether. #TokenEngineering promises to fix that.

Economic Games as Estimators
N2 - Discrete event games are discrete time dynamical systems whose state transitions are discrete events caused by actions taken by agents within the game. The agents? objectives and associated decision rules need not be known to the game designer in order to impose struc- ture on a game?s reachable states. Mechanism design for discrete event games is accomplished by declaring desirable invariant properties and restricting the state transition functions to conserve these properties at every point in time for all admissible actions and for all agents, using techniques familiar from state-feedback control theory. Building upon these connections to control theory, a framework is developed to equip these games with estimation properties of signals which are private to the agents playing the game. Token bonding curves are presented as discrete event games and numerical experiments are used to investigate their signal processing properties with a focus on input-output response dynamics.
