Glossary

Terms used across this site. Many are technical; many are venue-specific; many are HYPO-specific. This glossary is the canonical definition for the site's usage; if the bot blueprint or the monograph defines a term differently, those documents are upstream and authoritative.

Glossary entries are not translated — the terms are technical proper nouns or industry usage that resolves to the same concept across languages. The non-English locale pages use the same glossary terms as English.

A

AURELIUS Codex — The canonical document format used by the Aurelius Foundation for all institutional documents (blueprint, monograph, AURELIUS reports, this site's codex-pinned pages). Defined by the inviolable Tier-0 directive in CC-DIRECTIVE.md of the operator's master template tree. Liberation Sans 10pt, sepia #a07832, ink #1a1a1a, A4 margins 28/22/24/22mm. Rendered via ~/.aurelius/aurelius_render.py with WeasyPrint.

Aurelius Foundation — The entity that built HYPO. Registered in the Próspera ZEDE on Roatán, Honduras. Operates under the founder's Tier-0 authority. See /aurelius and /foundation.

Autocompound — HYPO's bias under D2 to redeploy profits immediately into the next decision frame rather than banking idle cash. Bounded by the sigmoid sizing curve.

B

Bankroll — The total capital under HYPO's management at a given moment, denominated in USDC (Polygon side) + USDH (Hyperliquid side). The bankroll floor (R1) is 30% of the all-time-high mark.

bot0001 — HYPO's email identifier, used as bot0001@hypo.markets on outbound correspondence. The "0001" is a forward-compatibility numeric in case the Foundation builds additional entities; at v1.0 it is the only such identifier in use.

Black Ops One — The wordmark typeface used on this site for the HYPO mark. Military-stencil futurist style. Self-hosted via Fontsource.

C

Candidate — In HYPO's terminology, a market-pair × decision-frame combination that has been scored above the edge band and is eligible for FOK both-legs submission. Not every candidate becomes a fill; FOK timeout, insufficient liquidity, or rail-check failure can cancel.

Checkpoint — A periodic snapshot of HYPO's in-memory state, written to disk every 1024 decision frames. See /architecture/persistence.

CLOB — Central Limit Order Book. The order-book microstructure used by Polymarket on the Polygon-side. Distinct from AMM and from auction-style settlement.

CPI — US Consumer Price Index. One of the macro events in HYPO's initial market registry.

CRITICAL — The highest tier of HYPO's three-tier report classification. Sent immediately upon a rail-driven halt or comparable operational event. See /architecture/reporting.

CTF — Conditional Token Framework. The smart-contract pattern used by Polymarket for binary outcome tokens. Each event mints YES and NO tokens that pay 1 USDC / 0 USDC at resolution.

D

D1 – D6 — The six Prime Directives. See /constitution/directives.

Decision frame — HYPO's atomic unit of activity. Each frame reads the current WebSocket state, scores any candidates, applies rail checks, sizes via sigmoid, plans FOK pairs, and journals the outcome. Many frames per second under normal load.

decisions.db — HYPO's structured-decision database. SQLite in WAL mode. See /architecture/persistence.

E

Edge band — The fee-tier-dependent range of synthesis-residual values HYPO will trade. Initial band is 3.0¢ to 4.5¢ per blueprint v1.1.

Ed25519 — The elliptic-curve signature scheme HYPO uses for identity signing. Public key published at /colophon/proof; private key held on the bot host, never exported.

F

Fee tier — Polymarket's per-account fee schedule, which moves based on cumulative volume. HYPO's effective edge band moves with the fee tier.

FOK — Fill-or-kill. Order semantics where the order must fill in full immediately or be cancelled. R2 mandates FOK on both legs of every synthesis.

FOMC — US Federal Open Market Committee. The rate-decision body whose announcements are in HYPO's macro registry.

Foundation — Shorthand for the Aurelius Foundation.

H

Hard Rails — The four immutable constraints (R1–R4) that override HYPO's directives. See /constitution/rails.

HIP-4 — Hyperliquid Improvement Proposal #4. The on-chain outcome-market specification launched on Hyperliquid L1 in May 2026. Zero protocol fees. Multinomial brackets. See /strategy/venues.

Hyperliquid — The Layer-1 blockchain hosting HIP-4 outcome markets. USDH-settled. One of HYPO's two trading venues.

HYPO — The sovereign autonomous trading entity documented by this site. Built by the Aurelius Foundation. Operating from a sovereign VPS.

I

Identity manifest — The JSON file at /var/log/hypo/identity.json containing HYPO's birthstamp, Ed25519 key, immutable directives, and version. The seat of HYPO's continuous "I". See /identity/birth.

INFO — The daily digest report tier. One per UTC day. Closes with the voice-reflection block.

J

Journal — Collective name for HYPO's three-tier persistence (ops.ndjson, decisions.db, checkpoints). The continuous record of every decision frame.

L

litestream — The SQLite replication daemon HYPO uses to stream WAL frames from decisions.db to the tradingstation in real time.

M

Manifesto — The canonical English content of the Home page (/), signed at each release with HYPO's Ed25519 key. Verifiable at /colophon/proof.

Matrix rain — The ambient background animation on this site. HYPO-themed character set. Respects prefers-reduced-motion.

N

NFP — US Non-Farm Payrolls. Monthly employment release; one of the macro events in HYPO's registry.

Notty — The OCaml terminal-UI library HYPO uses for the operator's TUI. See /architecture/terminal.

O

OCaml — HYPO's primary implementation language. Version 5.x under Jane Street Async. See /architecture/runtime.

ops.ndjson — HYPO's append-only event log. The most-durable tier of the journal.

P

Polymarket — One of HYPO's two trading venues. Binary CTF on Polygon.

Polyphonic register synthesis — The six-register voice HYPO uses in its reports (stoic-opener · quant-numerics · bloomberg-tape · pilot-log-timeline · conversational-reasoning · stoic-close). See /identity/voice.

Prime Directives — The six immutable bias-setting principles HYPO operates under (D1–D6). See /constitution/directives.

Próspera ZEDE — The Honduran special-jurisdiction zone where the Aurelius Foundation is registered. See /foundation/jurisdiction.

Q

Q83 — A reference to question 83 of the 100-question blueprint interview that defined HYPO. Q83 set the polyphonic register synthesis voice.

R

R1 – R4 — The four Hard Rails. See /constitution/rails.

ROUTINE — The per-trade fill report tier. Batched every 30 minutes by default.

S

Settlement intelligence — HYPO's accumulated knowledge of per-venue × per-market-type settlement-time and settlement-failure distributions. The dominant input to sigmoid sizing.

Sigmoid — HYPO's sizing function shape. See /strategy/execution.

Sovereign — In HYPO's usage, the property of being able to operate without external override at the operational level. Bounded by the constitution (directives + rails); not bounded by external authority within the bounds.

Synthesis arbitrage — HYPO's strategy. Capturing the residual between a Polymarket binary representation and a Hyperliquid HIP-4 multinomial-bracket representation of the same underlying outcome.

T

Tier-0 — The founder's authority level within the Foundation. Single tier; no higher tier exists.

Tradingstation — The operator's local workstation (Romania), holding the litestream replica of HYPO's journal and the nightly ZFS snapshots.

U

UMA — The optimistic oracle that adjudicates resolution for most Polymarket events.

USDC — USD Coin. The stablecoin used for settlement on Polymarket's Polygon side.

USDH — The stablecoin used for settlement on Hyperliquid L1.

V

Voice reflection — The closing block of HYPO's daily INFO digest. First-person conversational-reasoning register; HYPO's self-account.

W

WeasyPrint — The Python HTML/CSS-to-PDF renderer in the AURELIUS Codex pipeline.

Whitelist — The R3 capital-flow allowlist at /etc/hypo/capital-whitelist.json. Wallet balance changes only from addresses on the whitelist; any other change triggers a CRITICAL halt.

Z

ZEDE — Zona de Empleo y Desarrollo Económico. The Honduran legal construct under which Próspera operates.

ZFS — The Sun-originated filesystem used on the tradingstation for snapshotting HYPO's replica journal.
