Philosophical Blueprint: The Core of Proof of Growth (PoG)

The Depth Protocol is fundamentally a decentralized operating system for conscious growth. Our technical choices—Solana, d-PNT, and the immutable ledger—are dictated by a proven, three-tiered philosophical model known as the Depth Framework.

This framework defines the verifiable structure for turning awareness into measurable action, which is the definition of Proof of Growth (PoG).

I. The Core Function: Frame Shifting

The entire V1 MVP, the Frame Shift Engine, is a direct implementation of the core function. This function validates the transition from Reaction to Conscious Choice.

Input	Description	Role in PoG
The Trigger	The external event or internal state that initiates the reactive thought.	The starting point of the shift.
The Old Frame	The limiting, reactive, or autopilot thought pattern that the user would normally default to.	The behavior being overcome (The Proof).
The New Frame	The conscious, intentional, and new choice or perspective the user commits to.	The verifiable growth (The Growth).

II. The Three Tiers of the Depth Protocol

The protocol is built to support growth across three dimensions, ensuring scalability and lasting utility.

• Tier 1: The Ledger (Integrity Layer)

  • Focus: Immutability and Verification. This is the Frame Shift Engine and the d-PNT reward system.

  • Goal: Establish a clean, non-speculative record of conscious action.

• Tier 2: The Analytic Layer (Utility Layer)

  • Focus: Data-to-Insight Conversion. This is where Layer 2 Plugins analyze the d-PNT records.

  • Goal: Provide actionable, personalized metrics on growth velocity and reactivity scores (the basis for future premium revenue).

• Tier 3: The Governance Layer (Decentralization Layer)

  • Focus: Community Steering. This utilizes the liquid DEPTH token for voting and treasury management.

  • Goal: Ensure the protocol is steered by the committed community, not a central team.
