igneum-labs 990ecd5cc2 Economy: agent-based mining-versus-proving simulation, six stress scenarios, lever study, analysis and bench entry
sim/economy/sim.py: 1,000 operators choosing MINE, PROVE, HYBRID or OFF per card class with their own clients; sortition by weight with the 10-s window then open claiming, external jobs with the 90/10 split, backlog rule, difficulty clamps, GBM price. Scenarios a to f, 5 seeds: no backlog, no window miss, hash floor 0.74 of pre-event. Traffic sensitivity finds the shortage oscillation only above the proving fleet's capacity (100 to 300 shards per block); at 100 the sortition window (10 s to 20 s) is the lever that removes it. docs/analysis/economy-2026-10-04.md holds the model, assumptions, results, worst case and the proposal (window = p90 shard time plus a swap, 25 s at today's targets; B_p tied to the live fleet), not applied.

Lever study and sensitivities, scenario b

Run 1: design traffic (3 shards per block), protocol levers plus the traffic and observation-window sensitivities. Note: the age column of the 300-shard row was produced before the backlog-age formula was corrected (it diverged once the backlog rule throttled arrivals); the hash, window and mode columns of that row stand. Run 2: the protocol levers at 100 shards per block, after the correction.

Run 1, 3 shards per block

Lever study on scenario b (external pays 10x from day 7, coin price falls 70% over days 7 to 14), seeds [1, 2]. One parameter at a time, the rest at the design values.

Rows pool, window, burn, timeout are protocol levers; shards_per_block (chain traffic) and ema_ticks (operators' observation window, ticks of 180 s) are model sensitivities.
