compensation after an adverse ai transition may arrive too late to use. acausal offers a bargain beforehand: fund a payment now in exchange for a limited share of later project income.
token holders can take the funded payment by retiring tokens. buyers advance usdc for future receipts. the money comes from collected trading fees, contributions and the advance itself.
an experiment inspired by functional decision theory. the contracts implement a present-day exchange, with no assumed payment from a future ai.
01 / the present
“i want compensation while i can use it.”
check the price before committing. accepted tokens are burned; you can keep the rest.
finitist → offer tokens02 / the future
“i can wait for what comes next.”
the claim has a fixed cash ceiling and a 180-day term. you may recover less than you advance, or nothing.
continuist → advance usdctwo positions on waiting, not predictions of ai doom. you can use either path, or neither. the links below each position take you to its controls; they make no transaction.
an incomplete offer expires after seven days. buyer cash and holder tokens remain recoverable without an operator acting at the deadline.
standing offers and withdrawals
continuists fund an offer; finitists see its price before tendering. the last tender needed to fill the quota settles the exchange. there is no separate closing action.

01 / the present
tender tokens for retirement
no open offer selected.
enter your total tender, not an additional amount. set zero to retract while open. filling the quota burns the tokens in that transaction.
02 / the future
advance usdc for later receipts
open a funded offer when no other offer is open.
after the first tender, your advance stays committed until the quota fills or the seven-day offer expires. later income may be zero.
load an older offer to release its tender. cash and token withdrawal credits can be claimed independently of any current offer.
| selected-offer tender | — tokens |

a buyer can cancel before the first tender; anyone can cancel after expiry. reserve-only exits require enough accumulated reserve. income posting and pool collection are permissionless and require gas. if the fee source is unavailable, usdc already held by the vault can still be posted separately.
no guaranteed exit or full liquidation. pool-fee conversion has no guaranteed exchange rate. do not send tokens directly to the income vault.
finitists offer tokens for retirement. continuists fund their payment for a limited share of later income. either position is voluntary.
income is recorded when posted. with no active buyer claim, compensation enters the reserve. the reserve is separate from a buyer’s principal.
there is no scheduled selection or closing transaction. the buyer can cancel before anyone tenders. after the first tender, the buyer is committed until fill or expiry.
the claim lasts up to 180 days. if nobody posts income on time, the next post performs one capped catch-up before closure. one buyer claim can be active at once; funded reserve-only exits may continue.
a 5% quota, a 250 usdc advance and a 50 usdc reserve allocation give holders 300 usdc on a complete fill. the buyer can collect at most 375 usdc from later compensation income. with no later income, the buyer loses the 250 usdc advance; the holders keep their funded payment.
the timing of a trade does not prove the timing of income posting. an upstream cash or chain failure can delay collection. no contract can guarantee that someone will trade, tender or pay gas.
in functional decision theory, by yudkowsky and soares, an agent evaluates possible outputs of its decision function, accounting for dependencies that can include another system computing or predicting that function. a logical dependency need not be a causal influence. committing to a contract is not, by itself, such a dependency.
the reference motivates the question, not a derivation of the mechanism: what terms could make funding people earlier worthwhile to someone who values later outcomes? acausal offers one present-day answer: fund token retirement now for a limited claim on subsequent project income.
the facility uses ordinary commitment and a sale of future receipts. it does not run an fdt decision algorithm or establish acausal trade. that would require an argument about a counterparty’s decision procedure and its logical dependence on ours; there is no such argument here.
ordinary causal reasoning can support either side at an appropriate price. a future ai is not a party to this contract.
| income | usdc forwarded by the receipt vault, including converted pool fees and gifts. trading volume is not income. |
|---|---|
| cash split | 40% founder on the first 250 usdc of lifetime income, then 20%. operations receives 10% throughout; compensation receives the remainder. the early supplement is capped at 50 usdc and never resets. amounts are subject to smallest-unit rounding. |
| offer size | 5% of accounting supply, rounded down. reserve allocation and the buyer’s receipt share use that same fraction. |
| offer lifetime | seven days from opening. the buyer may cancel before any tender; afterward the advance is committed until the offer fills or expires. partial holders may retract before fill. |
| funding | at least 1 usdc in the funded holder pot. a buyer may open the first offer without fee history. a reserve-only exit needs enough reserve. the full token quota must be tendered. |
| buyer claim | the retired fraction of later compensation income, capped at 1.5 times the buyer’s advance, for up to 180 days. a late posting performs one bounded catch-up before closure. one buyer claim can be active at a time; reserve-only exits may continue meanwhile. |
| pool fee | 1% configured lp fee, plus the upstream protocol charge: approximately 1.2% in total. the cash split applies to project receipts, not to trading volume or holder payouts. |
these terms were fixed at deployment. read the transaction and contract addresses in the facility before interacting.
3% of initial token supply goes to the founder: locked for 30 days, then released linearly over 180 days. it is fully vested on day 210. the other 97% seeds the initial pool. there is no initial founder purchase.
claiming vested tokens does not turn them into cash; selling requires a buyer and available liquidity. founder cash credits are separate from token sales and retirement offers. anyone can deliver a funded cash credit to its recorded owner; the caller cannot redirect it. this still requires a gas-paying transaction.
founder, token administration and operations use 0x9CF20dAfEfd34B6c02eFA9f20C99C06D4f4e2A13. this wallet receives both cash shares. operations funds are accounted for separately.
usdc is the cash leg of the bargain. once pool rewards are collected and posted in usdc, that amount no longer follows the project token’s price. fees left in the pool still require collection, and an onchain credit still requires a gas-paying delivery or withdrawal transaction.
“compensation” names an allocation of project income, not an assessment of anyone’s losses. the ai transition motivates paying earlier; it is not an event the contracts detect. the facility cannot guarantee compensation for ai-related losses. if project income and liquidity disappear, they may fail precisely when a payment is most wanted.
an advance prices a cash-flow claim; it is not a probability of ai takeover. the buyer may recover nothing. holders receive funded withdrawal credits only after a successful fill; those credits still require a withdrawal transaction.
pool-fee conversion has no guaranteed exchange rate. usdc transfers can be restricted by its issuer, and upstream contracts retain their own authorities. user actions require gas. no founder, laptop or server has to act at a deadline for participants to recover an incomplete offer.
there is no guaranteed redemption price or complete liquidation. accounting supply is initial issuance less facility retirements, not the token supply currently on base. independent burns and bridge movements do not reduce that denominator. below 20 smallest token units, new offers stop; existing credits remain available, subject to asset transfer restrictions.
