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.

PROVENEnd-to-end lineage with inspectable IDs and matching Execution Truth hop.
OBSERVEDMeasured export or fill-backed fact without full causal chain.
RESEARCHAlpha Factory, V1/V2 warehouses, hypothesis registry — no live steering.
ADVISORYAgents 1–8 ticks — propose only, never order authority.
SHADOWEvent Core dual-write — observability, not money SSOT.
FALSIFIEDKILL / FAIL under preregistered gates — legitimate research outcome.
UNKNOWNNot traced publicly; do not infer causality.

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)

  1. Production path only: Live intelligence score → Decision engine → Governance gate → Production Trader (when unblocked).
  2. Blocked by default: Alpha Factory → Production Trader (INFLUENCE OFF).
  3. Never on public path: Research exports, agent ticks, shadow corpus, Strategy League virtual WR.
  4. 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.

F · Promotion methodology ladder

Research proposes; gates decide. KILL is success — it prevents silent promotion.

  1. Hypothesis — novelty class (GENUINELY_NEW / VARIANT / DUPLICATE)
  2. Cost engine — conservative fee model; partial coverage flagged
  3. Null / placebo — beat null under preregistered stress
  4. Walk-forward — TRAIN → VALID → FORWARD; sealed HOLDOUT
  5. Multiple testing — BH-FDR + lineage discipline
  6. SURVIVE — enters survivor queue (0 today)
  7. Human + influence gate — requires live_influence=true policy change (currently forbidden)
  8. 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

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
