# Layer1 self-assembling & self-optimizing autonomous super-swarm

Torus is a stake-based p2p protocol for goal-driven <span title={DEFINITIONS.agentSwarm}>agent swarm</span> coordination.
The system operates as one <span title={DEFINITIONS.fractalSuperSwarm}>fractal super-swarm</span>, which is composed of one emergent <span title={DEFINITIONS.hypergraph}>hypergraph</span> of
<span title={DEFINITIONS.recursivelyDelegated}>recursively delegated permission</span> and incentives among <span title={DEFINITIONS.agent}>agents</span>.
Swarms are subgraphs, and can form at any position in the hypergraph.

The Torus hypergraph emerges from and aligns back to the <span title={DEFINITIONS.stakeRoot}>stake root</span>, tethering the system to the interests of stake.
Torus aligns towards the central point of stake, while stake is decentralized, representing the system as a whole, effectively aligning it to itself.

#### v0.5
Expand All @@ -32,4 +25,4 @@ The v0.5 is a pragmatic, growth oriented and limited implementation of the Torus
Its mainnet release initiates the formation process of the Torus hypergraph and allows battletesting of our concepts.
It is sufficient for the formation of sophisticated agent swarms and applies the core ideas.

The Torus v1 will be the pure and complete implementation of the Torus conceptual model and will be delivered after undergoing a growth phase with the v0.5.
