Grand Time Architecture

⚠️ Frozen Specification

This repository contains a finalized architectural and formal specification. Core economic meaning and invariants are fixed. The repository is intended for research, verification, and implementation accuracy only.

This repository contains the original conceptual architecture of Grand Time — a macroeconomic time-based valuation system designed as an alternative framework for measuring human economic contribution beyond fiat currency models.

Start Here

Research-only: no production deployment, no operational guarantees, no commercial use.

  1. ARCHITECTURE_1_0.md — canonical system meaning and invariants
  2. FORMULAS.md — formal parameters and valuation rules
  3. SECURITY_MODEL.md — oracle, failure, and safety constraints
  4. CONTRACT_MAP_V1.md — mandatory GT 1.0 contract roles
  5. DAO_GRAND_TIME_FUND.md — execution and coordination structure
  6. COLLABORATION_AND_IMPLEMENTATION.md — research and implementation entry point

This publication is intended to establish:

  • authorship,
  • prior art,
  • chronological origin of the Grand Time model.

No executable code is included at this stage.

For Researchers and Senior Developers

This repository intentionally contains no executable code.

Grand Time is published as prior art and an architectural framework. We are interested in collaboration with senior engineers, researchers, and system architects who enjoy working on:

  • macroeconomic system design,
  • non-financial value models,
  • protocol-level constraints and invariants,
  • long-horizon economic systems.

If you are interested in exploring implementation approaches, formal verification, or alternative representations of this architecture, you are welcome to open an issue or start a discussion.
