BlackMoon Nexus
Trust & Epistemic Status
What Nexus can support in public, how we classify evidence, and where capital boundaries sit. This page is the honesty contract — not a performance dashboard.

A · What Nexus claims (evidence-supported only)
BlackMoon Nexus is a proof-gated crypto market research and micro-capital execution platform. Agents and families propose; evidence and gates decide; the live micro-book is a lab bench, not a marketed fund.
- Supported: Live exchange connectivity + operator stack exist; decide/execute path is real when unblocked.
- Supported: Alpha Factory V3 searches under cost/null/WF gates; failures recorded as KILL success.
- Supported: Public exports publish sanitized gate stories, missed winners, and virtual outcomes — not trade signals.
- Supported: Execution Truth is the after-fee money SSOT internally; Event Core is SHADOW only.
- Not claimed: Verified profitable edge, guaranteed returns, autonomous fund, agents placing orders, or Event Core as PnL authority.
B · Epistemic status model
Every public artifact should carry one primary class. See /public/trust/epistemic_schema.json for machine contract.
C · What is LIVE (domain-separated)
DATA/EXPORT LIVE means the public cron wrote a fresh snapshot — not that trading is profitable or unblocked.
TRADING posture is independent: engine may be READY while slots, dust, or IP ban block entries.
RESEARCH loops (AF, V1/V2) may run without influencing production while live_influence=false.
INFLUENCE OFF freezes research→live promotion; survivors queue ≠ live book changes.
D · What can touch capital (governance boundary)
- Production path only: Live intelligence score → Decision engine → Governance gate → Production Trader (when unblocked).
- Blocked by default: Alpha Factory → Production Trader (
INFLUENCE OFF). - Never on public path: Research exports, agent ticks, shadow corpus, Strategy League virtual WR.
- Operator gates: Risk envelope, slots, kill switch, human-gated adaptation — Command Center private plane.
E · What NO_VERIFIED_EDGE means
NO_VERIFIED_EDGE is a governance property from the money engine — not a brand slogan. It means after-fee lifetime economics have not cleared promotion gates for any family.
| Metric | Value (methodology) | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Lifetime net (after fees) | −0.729636 USDC | Execution Truth SSOT |
| Profit factor | 0.9601 | Money engine breakout |
| Expectancy / trade | −0.002625 USDC | Money engine breakout |
| Verdict | C · NO_EDGE_CURRENT_INFORMATION_SET | Money engine breakout |
| Family survivors | 0 | Alpha Factory registry |
| live_influence | false | Operator policy |
No wallet address, open positions, order IDs, or intraday blotter appear here by design.
F · Promotion methodology ladder
Research proposes; gates decide. KILL is success — it prevents silent promotion.
- Hypothesis — novelty class (GENUINELY_NEW / VARIANT / DUPLICATE)
- Cost engine — conservative fee model; partial coverage flagged
- Null / placebo — beat null under preregistered stress
- Walk-forward — TRAIN → VALID → FORWARD; sealed HOLDOUT
- Multiple testing — BH-FDR + lineage discipline
- SURVIVE — enters survivor queue (0 today)
- Human + influence gate — requires
live_influence=truepolicy change (currently forbidden) - Micro lab bench — measured under Execution Truth, not marketing PnL
G · Current limitations (by domain)
Economic
- NO_VERIFIED_EDGE — lifetime net negative after fees
- €10–25/day income unsupported; €50–100 unrealistic at ~144 USDC equity
Research / AF
- Campaign 001 not ready; auto-campaign forbidden
- Cost engine PARTIAL_CONSERVATIVE; G-H04 FAIL / sparse midjoin
- 0 OOS survivors on V2 orthogonal streams
Authority
- Event Core not PnL SSOT; Phase 1c read BLOCKED
- UI cards ≠ running services ≠ profitable edge
Runtime
- Single-VPS concentration; historical OOM / IP-ban scars
- Micro-capital scale — not institutional execution venue
H · What remains unknown
- Live docker env flags / blockers / RSS without fresh operator probe
- Whether every V1/V2 sidecar is looping on VPS at this instant
- Complete scheduler wiring map for all
engine/research/*modules - CF feeder running state without status read
- Full public PROVEN decision→fill chain (Evidence Packet often PARTIAL)
I · Falsified / killed research
Aggregate public-safe summary (methodology — not raw experiment joins):
- 7+ kill results imported into AF memory (bootstrap pack)
- 4 VARIANT_OF_KILLED families in novelty space scan
- 0 promotable survivors — nothing cleared SURVIVE → influence path
- G-H04 primary midjoin FAIL — economic test sparse at authoritative join
Detailed experiment IDs remain operator-private. KILL records are research success, not embarrassment.
J · What would change claims
We would remove or revise NO_VERIFIED_EDGE only if money engine SSOT shows:
- After-fee lifetime expectancy > 0 with preregistered confidence
- At least one family clears SURVIVE under cost/null/WF/FDR gates
- Forward epoch meets ideal_500 + G-H04 authoritative midjoin thresholds
- Operator explicitly enables influence policy (separate governance act)
Until then, green UI, virtual league ranks, or export LIVE must never imply verified profitability.
K · Security / privacy boundary
- Public site: read-only exports — no wallet, positions, canonical PnL blotter, thresholds, or tokens
- Command Center, extension cockpit, operator APIs: private plane
- Public JSON fields audited against safe-field matrix (P3 evidence packet)
- Waitlist email only — not investment advice or managed accounts
