Summary

This paper proposes a canonical protocol graph for leveraged event markets, where multiple individually valid components can otherwise create conflicting financial state. It assigns each domain—such as positions, debt, settlement evidence, reserves, and liquidation—to one storage authority, with composition components coordinating transitions rather than duplicating balances or records.

The design specifies atomic position origination, settlement-confirmed debt processing, trader residual release, an ordered loss waterfall, withdrawal queues, capability-gated execution, global pause and recovery, deterministic deployment, and reconstruction from a chain-confirmed checkpoint. The authors state formal properties for authority uniqueness, atomic closure, loss priority and conservation, idempotent settlement, safety, and recovery without financial re-execution, subject to explicit assumptions. Evaluation uses twelve parent interaction assertions, retained evidence positions, repeated materialization, archive verification, and ordered replay. These are reported engineering and verification results for the protocol design; the document distinguishes them from hypotheses about future external operation, and they do not by themselves demonstrate live-market reliability or investment returns.

Key ideas

  • Each financial domain is assigned a single authoritative storage location in the protocol graph.
  • Composition components coordinate transitions without recreating core financial state.
  • The design formalizes atomic origination, settlement processing, and an ordered loss-allocation waterfall.
  • Recovery reconstructs state from a confirmed checkpoint while aiming to avoid repeating financial actions.
  • The reported evaluation uses interaction assertions and a reproducible evidence chain under stated assumptions.

# Axient: Canonical Protocol-Graph Composition for Leveraged Event Markets: Single State Authority, Atomic Composition, Durable Sagas, and Exactly-Once Recovery









A modular leveraged event-market protocol can contain individually correct contracts for risk approval, positions, debt, settlement evidence, credit pools, junior backstops, reserves, liquidation, and governance while still lacking one authoritative financial execution path. This paper develops a canonical protocol graph in which every financial domain has one storage authority and composition components coordinate transitions without recreating balances, debt, positions, evidence receipts, queues, reserves, pause state, or terminal scenario state. The architecture formalizes atomic position origination, a settlement-confirmed debt saga, trader residual release, an ordered reserve-backstop-Senior loss waterfall, loss-participating withdrawal queues, capability-conditioned execution, protocol-wide pause and timelocked recovery, deterministic deployment manifests, canonical state projection, and exactly-once reconstruction after a chain-confirmed checkpoint. We prove composition-level authority uniqueness, atomic closure, loss conservation and priority, receipt-idempotent settlement, legal no-go safety, capability-transition safety, and no-financial-reexecution recovery under explicit assumptions. The implementation is evaluated through twelve parent Financial Interaction Assertions (FIA-001-FIA-012), including mandatory FIA-011A/B capability subcases. The registered local cohort contains twelve uniquely correlated scenario records and 84 retained ACTUAL_EVIDENCE layer positions, two clean materializations with one byte-identical file index, a deterministic strict archive accepted by a separate verifier, and a selected ordered replay bound to that archive. The result connects the formal protocol graph to a reproducible evidence chain while preserving explicit boundaries between the observed engineering result and future external-operation hypotheses.
