🧮 Mathematical Models & Economic Equations

From Factory Floor to Algorithm: The Mathematical Heart of Decentralized Compute

When Ciro Network was born from the practical need to optimize factory operations, we didn't just build another compute network—we built a mathematically rigorous economic machine. Every equation here has been battle-tested in real-world scenarios, from predicting GPU performance to optimizing worker rewards.

🌟 Why Mathematics Matters in DePIN

In traditional centralized computing, mathematics hides behind corporate black boxes. At Ciro Network, every economic decision, every performance metric, and every security guarantee is governed by transparent, peer-reviewed mathematical models that anyone can verify, understand, and improve.

The Three Pillars of Mathematical Design

  1. 🎯 Economic Incentives: Game theory ensures honest behavior
  2. ⚡ Performance Optimization: Calculus maximizes network efficiency
  3. 🛡️ Security Guarantees: Cryptographic proofs protect against attacks

📐 Core Network Efficiency Models

The Ciro Efficiency Coefficient

Our flagship equation quantifies how well the network converts raw compute power into productive work. This model emerged from analyzing thousands of hours of factory floor GPU utilization data.

Network Efficiency Formula:

$$\eta = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n} C_i \times U_i \times R_i \times Q_i}{\sum_{i=1}^{n} C_i \times P_i}$$

Where each variable represents:

  • $\eta$ = Network efficiency coefficient (0.0 to 1.0, higher is better)
  • $C_i$ = Compute capacity of worker $i$ (measured in TFLOPS)
  • $U_i$ = Current utilization rate of worker $i$ (0.0 to 1.0)
  • $R_i$ = Historical reliability score of worker $i$ (0.0 to 1.0)
  • $Q_i$ = Quality multiplier based on successful job completions (0.8 to 1.2)
  • $P_i$ = Peak theoretical performance of worker $i$ (TFLOPS)
  • $n$ = Total number of active workers in the network

Real-World Application: A network with efficiency $\eta = 0.85$ means 85% of theoretical compute capacity is being converted into productive work—industry-leading performance.

Performance Prediction Model

Our AI-powered performance predictor uses historical data to forecast job completion times:

Completion Time Estimation:

$$T_{\text{estimated}} = T_{\text{base}} \times \frac{J_{\text{complexity}}}{W_{\text{power}}} \times (1 + \sigma_{\text{network}})$$

Variables:

  • $T_{\text{base}}$ = Baseline processing time for similar jobs (seconds)
  • $J_{\text{complexity}}$ = Job complexity score (1.0 to 10.0)
  • $W_{\text{power}}$ = Worker computational power rating (1.0 to 10.0)
  • $\sigma_{\text{network}}$ = Network congestion factor (0.0 to 0.5)

🛡️ Economic Security & Game Theory

Byzantine Fault Tolerance with Economic Stakes

Traditional BFT assumes up to 33% malicious actors. Ciro Network's economic model makes attacks exponentially more expensive as the network grows.

Economic Security Threshold:

$$S_{\text{economic}}(n,f) = \min\left(\text{CryptoSec}(n,f), \text{EconSec}(n,f)\right)$$

Where:

  • $\text{CryptoSec}(n,f) = 1$ if $n \geq 3f + 1$, else $0$ (classical BFT)
  • $\text{EconSec}(n,f) = 1 - e^{-\lambda \sum_{i=1}^{n} S_i}$ (economic security)
  • $\lambda = 0.001$ (economic security coefficient)
  • $S_i$ = Economic stake of validator $i$ (in CIRO tokens)

Slashing and Penalty Mathematics

When workers misbehave, our algorithmic justice system applies proportional penalties:

Dynamic Penalty Calculation:

$$P_{\text{slash}} = S_{\text{base}} \times \left(1 + \frac{\text{severity}^2}{1 - \text{severity}}\right) \times \text{history_multiplier}$$

Components:

  • $S_{\text{base}}$ = Base slashing amount (5% of stake)
  • $\text{severity}$ = Violation severity score (0.0 to 0.9)
  • $\text{history_multiplier}$ = Repeat offender multiplier (1.0 to 3.0)

⚡ Performance & Throughput Optimization

Latency Distribution Model

Based on real-world network measurements across 50+ countries:

Latency Probability Density:

$$f(t) = \alpha \beta e^{-\beta t} + \gamma \delta e^{-\delta (t-\mu)}$$

Network-Specific Constants:

  • $\alpha = 0.6$ (proportion of fast connections)
  • $\beta = 0.08$ ms⁻¹ (fast decay rate)
  • $\gamma = 0.4$ (proportion of slower connections)
  • $\delta = 0.02$ ms⁻¹ (slow decay rate)
  • $\mu = 50$ ms (slower connection baseline)

Throughput Scaling Laws

How job processing capacity scales with network size:

Aggregate Throughput Function:

$$T(n) = T_{\max} \times \left(1 - e^{-\frac{n}{N_{\text{critical}}}}\right) \times \left(1 - \frac{C_{\text{congestion}}}{n + C_{\text{congestion}}}\right)$$

Scaling Parameters:

  • $T_{\max} = 10{,}000$ jobs/hour (theoretical maximum per worker)
  • $N_{\text{critical}} = 500$ workers (critical mass for efficiency)
  • $C_{\text{congestion}} = 100$ (congestion resistance factor)

Dynamic Fee Discovery

Our fee model balances affordability with network sustainability:

Adaptive Fee Structure:

$$F(u, d) = F_{\text{base}} \times \left(1 + \frac{u^2}{1-u}\right) \times \left(1 + 0.1 \times \log(1 + d)\right)$$

Fee Variables:

  • $F_{\text{base}} = 0.01$ CIRO (minimum network fee)
  • $u$ = network utilization ratio (0.0 to 0.95)
  • $d$ = job priority demand multiplier (0.0 to 10.0)

Staking Rewards Optimization

Rewards are distributed to maximize network health and participation:

Individual Staker Rewards:

$$R_i = \frac{S_i^{0.8}}{\sum_{j=1}^{n} S_j^{0.8}} \times R_{\text{pool}} \times (1 + P_i) \times (1 + U_i)$$

Reward Components:

  • $S_i$ = Stake amount of participant $i$ (sublinear to prevent centralization)
  • $R_{\text{pool}}$ = Total rewards available for the epoch
  • $P_i$ = Performance bonus (0.0 to 0.5 based on job success rate)
  • $U_i$ = Uptime bonus (0.0 to 0.3 based on network availability)

🔮 Zero-Knowledge Proof Mathematics

STARK Proof Generation Complexity

Cairo-based STARKs provide verifiable compute with logarithmic verification:

Proof Generation Time:

$$T_{\text{prove}} = k \times n \times \log_2(n) + c_{\text{setup}} + c_{\text{crypto}}$$

Cairo-Specific Constants:

  • $k = 2.3 \times 10^{-6}$ seconds/operation (Cairo VM overhead)
  • $c_{\text{setup}} = 50$ ms (initialization cost)
  • $c_{\text{crypto}} = 25$ ms (cryptographic operations)
  • $n$ = number of computation steps in the Cairo program

Verification Efficiency

STARK verification scales logarithmically with computation size:

Verification Time Complexity:

$$T_{\text{verify}} = O(\log^2(n)) = c_{\text{base}} + \alpha \times (\log_2(n))^2$$

Measured Constants:

  • $c_{\text{base}} = 5$ ms (constant verification overhead)
  • $\alpha = 0.1$ ms (logarithmic scaling factor)

📈 Network Growth & Adoption Models

Modified Metcalfe's Law for DePIN

Network value grows super-linearly with active participants, but with diminishing returns:

Network Value Function:

$$V(n) = k \times n^{\beta} \times \log(1 + \frac{n}{n_0})$$

Growth Parameters:

  • $k = 100$ CIRO (base network value coefficient)
  • $\beta = 1.6$ (superlinear growth exponent, less than Metcalfe's 2.0)
  • $n_0 = 1000$ (network maturity constant)

S-Curve Adoption with Network Effects

Real-world adoption follows an enhanced logistic model:

Adoption Rate Function:

$$A(t) = \frac{L}{1 + e^{-k(t-t_0)}} \times \left(1 + \epsilon \sin\left(\frac{2\pi t}{12}\right)\right)$$

Adoption Constants:
