Social Events

Social events enable naras to interact, judge, and participate in collective behaviors like trends and “buzz.”

1. Purpose

• Human-readable network activity for UI/logs.
• Drive subjective reputation (Clout).
• Model collective behaviors (trends) and network energy (Buzz).

2. Conceptual Model

• SocialEvent: Interaction payload in a SyncEvent.
• Teasing: Subjective commentary on a peer’s state.
• Buzz: Metric (0-182) representing activity “energy.”
• Trends: Collective participation in shared movements/styles.

Invariants

• Subjective Resonance: Personality determines if an event is noticed/stored.
• Anti-Pile-On: Jitter + ledger check prevents redundant commentary.
• Cooldown: 5-minute local limit per target.
• Determinism: Behavior derived from the Nara’s soul.

3. Personality Traits

Derived from Soul: Seed = binary.BigEndian.Uint64(SHA256(Soul)[:8]).

• Agreeableness: Trend adoption and event filtering.
• Sociability: Frequency of interactions and trend initiation.
• Chill: Memory decay rate and drama sensitivity.

4. Buzz Metric

Calculation

• Local Buzz: (+3 tease sent, +5 received, +2 join); decays by 3 every 10s.
• Weighted Buzz: (Local * 0.5) + (NetworkAvg * 0.2) + (NetworkMax * 0.3).

5. Interfaces

SocialEvent Payload

• type: tease, observed, gossip, observation, service.
• actor, target, reason, witness.

Tease Reasons

• high-restarts: Exceeds daily threshold.
• comeback: Return from MISSING.
• trend-abandon: Leaving a popular (>30%) trend.
• nice-number: Meme/milestone counts (42, 69, 420, 100, 121).
• random: Rare probabilistic “poke.”

6. Algorithms

Anti-Pile-On

sequenceDiagram
    participant O as Observer
    participant L as Ledger
    Note over O: Trigger detected
    O->>O: Jitter Delay (0-5s)
    O->>L: Check for identical target+reason (last 30s)
    alt Found
        Note over O: Abort
    else Not Found
        O->>O: Emit Tease
    end

Trend Logic (Every 30s)

• Joining: Chance = f(Agreeableness, vibe_popularity).
• Starting: Chance = f(Sociability). Rebels (low Agreeableness) start “underground” trends if top trend > 50%.
• Leaving: Chance = f(100 - Chill, isolation).

7. Clout & Memory

• Clout: Opinion = f(events, personality).
• Decay: Half-life modified by Chill.
• Resonance: Sociability increases weight of social events in Clout calculation.

8. Test Oracle

• TestTeaseCooldown / TestAntiPileOn.
• TestNiceNumbers: Meme/palindrome detection.
• TestTrendTransition / TestUndergroundTrend.
• TestBuzzDecay: Temporal reduction of energy.
