Lineage: The Living Economy
The whitepaper on Zenodo — full technical and economic specification.
Lineage: The Living EconomyResearch
Lineage is a research project as much as a Layer-1. The foundational ideas — Universal Turing Market Machines, Prime Radiant Consensus, and the ARCO simulation — are documented in the whitepaper and discussed openly on the research Discourse.
Where the research lives
Markets aggregate dispersed information; UTMMs formalise that discovery process inside consensus. Traditional blockchains execute fixed rules — Lineage performs bounded search over policy space and verifies results cryptographically, so the mechanisms themselves evolve under deterministic selection pressure. The ARCO simulation on /technology walks through a single step of this loop.
