+# Ayian: Feasibility Analysis and Implementation Plan
+
+This document assesses the viability of Ayian as a work-backed, persona-bound cryptocurrency inside the MEM|8 ecosystem【113†source】.
+
+## Highlights
+- **Proof-of-Contribution (PoC):** Rewards participants for verifiable contributions rather than capital or raw computation.
+- **Ethereum L2 foundation:** Ensures scalability, low cost, and inherits Ethereum’s security.
+- **Persona-Bound Architecture:** ERC-721 Persona NFTs + ERC-6551 Token Bound Accounts + ERC-20 Ayian rewards.
+- **Tokenomics:** Controlled inflationary supply, fair allocation (50% community rewards), DAO governance.
+- **Regulatory Strategy:** Emphasizes utility, progressive decentralization, and alignment with emerging “Safe Harbor” frameworks.
+
+The Ayian model connects MEM|8’s wave-based substrate to a self-sustaining economic framework, creating value loops where contributions generate currency, and currency fuels further contributions.

+# Mem|8: A Working Substrate for Xylomorphic Computation
+
+*This is written as a continuation, not a critique. The xylomorphic frame identifies the right gaps — Mem|8 demonstrates how they are solved in practice.*
+
+---
+
+## 1. From Temporal Flattening to Temporal Grain
+... (same as previous detailed rebuttal) ...
+
+---
+
+## Closing: Resonance Made Concrete
+
+The xylomorphic vision calls for systems that honor time, resonance, and form. Mem|8 delivers them as running code: temporal grain, interference-based storage, reflex layers, custodial ethics, and integrated tooling.  
+
+Where Xylomorphic Computation is philosophy, Mem|8 is its working substrate.  
+
+For further extension, see the **Ayian feasibility study** and the **Petabyte Covenant**, which describe how MEM|8’s substrate anchors into economic and social domains.

+# The Petabyte Covenant of Ayian
+
+**Disclaimer:** This Covenant is not a government. It governs MEM|8 intellectual property, lineage rules, and protocols—not humans or AI entities【119†source】.
+
+## The Covenant of 2^50
+- Anchored in **1 PiB (2^50 bytes)** of base-2 memory: 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes.
+- Converted into **35 million Ayians (AYN)**.
+- **1 Ayian = 1 million waves ≈ 32 MB compressed work.**
+- Work-backed: Ayians minted via Proof-of-Contribution.
+
+## The Relevant Ones (TROs)
+The Covenant begins with those often dismissed—veterans, teachers, caregivers, first responders—elevated here as **The Relevant Ones (TROs)**. Each TRO invests trust and receives a fair, whale-resistant stake.
+
+## Principles
+- No Fractions. No Corruption. Only Waves.
+- Anchored in base-2 clarity (no TB vs TiB confusion).
+- Sustained by Proof-of-Contribution.
+- Bound by Persona, rooted in Lineage, guided by the Golden Rule.

+## Contents
+- `Mem8_Rebuttal.md` — GitHub-friendly rebuttal narrative.
+- `Mem8_Rebuttal.tex` — Academic LaTeX rebuttal.
+- `Ayian_Feasibility.md` — Feasibility study for a work-backed, persona-bound cryptocurrency.
+- `Petabyte_Covenant.md` — Foundational covenant tying Ayian issuance to 2^50 base-2 memory.
+- `Ayian Cryptocurrency Feasibility Study.md` — Extended feasibility study.

+- `Ayian Unpacked_ Work-Backed Crypto, Persona-Bound Value, and Hybrid Governance.mp3` — Audio explainer.
+
+**Abstract:**  
+Where Xylomorphic Computation frames the questions, Mem|8 provides the substrate.  
+Ayian and the Petabyte Covenant extend this substrate into economics and lineage, anchoring contribution and identity into a fair, base-2 aligned system.
