# SMESH > A Rust protocol for coordinating agents through signals that diffuse, decay and get reinforced. Consensus emerges from reinforcement rather than voting, with no central coordinator. This site replays one recorded, read-only quant research run. Every count on it comes from data/replay.json, exported from the run's journal with `smesh quant export-site`. ## What it is - Signals: messages with an intensity that decays over time; reinforcement restores them. - Field: the shared space signals live on. A claim nothing reinforces fades away. - Settlement: agents claim tasks with their own affinity and back off from stronger claims. - A2A v1.0: the mesh serves as one A2A agent and can recruit other A2A agents as members. - Jev (TypeSafe AI): agents described in plain language judge for themselves whether they suit a task. ## The study on this page - Venues: Kalshi (public market data, unsigned), Massive (licensed key), Kraken (public trades). Read-only by construction: only GET to allowlisted market-data paths. - Crypto track: Kalshi hourly BTC/ETH above/below odds 30 minutes before close vs a realized-volatility model, walk-forward with fee-aware paper trading. - Macro track: Kalshi CPI, payrolls and Fed ladders an hour before release vs the actual print, last print and climatology; SPY/TLT reaction to the surprise. - Hypotheses are signals on a SMESH field. Consensus means a final strength of 0.30 or more. - Limits: one recorded period; several claims share windows; macro windows hold one release each. Not trading advice. ## Links - Source: https://github.com/copyleftdev/smesh-rust - Replay data: https://copyleftdev.github.io/smesh-rust/data/replay.json - Page in Markdown: https://copyleftdev.github.io/smesh-rust/index.md
