Audit Expiry Signal: Field Position Report

Eigenstate Research, July 02, 2026

Methodology: The Information Field Equations, E = ΔI/A, G = ∮E·dl, Protocol Truth → 1/φ

Publication field context

The Eigenstate engine currently measures the tokenized settlement field at:

• Protocol Truth (PT): 0.0568 (target: 0.618, the golden-ratio equilibrium)
• Field Coherence (κ): 0.5009 (living zone: 0.618-0.678)
• Coverage: 14 of 199 entities with measured ΔI > 0 (7.0%), M1 topology denominator
• Uncertainty (U): 26.0

The field is 0.1172 below equilibrium coherence. Each entity with measured vault activity raises the global PT toward 0.618. Audit Expiry Signal does not yet have a complete observation record on the M1 topology (199 entities).

What it is

Audit expiry is the temporal topology node marking smart-contract audit staleness, when security reviews age beyond issuer deployment cycles and upgrade paths for tokenized asset contracts. For spread-capture graphs, this decay event wires OpenZeppelin library usage and Ethereum contract security norms to RWA issuers where audit freshness must align with on-chain settlement risk.

Verified claims

Field Confidence: ? LOW, No external sources mapped for this entity, engine-internal data only

Verification: 3/3 source-checked (ATTESTED), 3 grounded. Each claim below carries a machine-checked status against its cited source; ungrounded items are editorial assessments, not verified facts.

Field read

Settlement Pressure (Φ_S = 0.0000)

Near-zero settlement pressure, this entity is close to field equilibrium.

Audit expiry pressure is elevated because tokenized fund and stablecoin issuers deploy upgraded contract versions faster than VERIFY catalogs audit-report freshness per library version. The engine reads unrealized Φ_S when audit-expiry temporal centrality exceeds vault evidence of current security review coverage.

Coherence (κ = 0.0000)

κ = 0.0000 reflects the engine's current measurement coverage, not Audit Expiry Signal's actual institutional influence. With no vault records yet, the coherence score is derived purely from topology position, connection count and structural weight, without any attested observation data. The low value means the engine has not yet measured this entity's settlement activity, not that the entity lacks field presence.

The equilibrium attractor is κ = 1/φ ≈ 0.618. At current κ = 0.0000, Audit Expiry Signal is 0.6180 below equilibrium. Vault observations of Audit Expiry Signal's rule outputs, rulemaking notices, enforcement actions, guidance documents, would directly raise κ toward the living zone [0.618, 0.678].

Vault Coverage

No vault records yet for Audit Expiry Signal. This is a gap in the field coverage. The engine recommends observation as the first action (see below).

Sources

This report is generated by the Eigenstate engine, an information-field measurement system for the tokenized settlement layer. The engine tracks 199 entities (M1 topology denominator) across the regulatory, infrastructure, issuer, and audience layers.

Core equations:

• E = ΔI/A, efficiency: information gained per unit action (Kirandeep's Law)
• G = ∮E·dl, accumulated field circulation along topology paths
• PT → 1/φ, Protocol Truth converges to golden-ratio equilibrium (1/φ ≈ 0.618)
• Φ_S, settlement pain: unrealized settlement pressure per entity
• κ, field coherence: integration of settlement activity across the topology

Vault: No vault records yet for Audit Expiry Signal in the current cycle, κ and Φ_S here are topology-derived until observations are attested. The field recommends observation as the first action.
