iecsat-storage Skill

"69 bytes of mutual awareness per tile. 3 × 23. Triadic by design."

Overview

IECsat Storage calculates on-chain storage costs for Plus Code tiles with GF(3)-conserved mutual awareness. Each tile maintains exactly 69 bytes of state.

The 69-Byte Structure

69 = 3 × 23 (triadic decomposition)

Storage Cost Analysis (Aptos Mainnet)

Pricing assumptions:
- Storage cost: 0.00001 APT per byte
- APT price: $12 USD
- Bytes per tile: 69

Cost formula:
  APT = tiles × 69 × 0.00001
  USD = APT × 12

Denotation

IECsat : PlusCode → (TileState × MerkleProof)

where:
  TileState = { plus: 23B, ergodic: 23B, minus: 23B }
  MerkleProof = Path from 10-char root to target tile

Invariant: ∀ tile: Σ(trit) ≡ 0 (mod 3)

Skill Name: iecsat-storage Type: Storage Cost Estimation / On-Chain Economics Trit: 0 (ERGODIC - COORDINATOR) GF(3): Mediates between tile generation and validation

Cat# Integration

This skill maps to Cat# = Comod(P) as a bicomodule in the Prof home:

Trit: 0 (ERGODIC)
Home: Prof (profunctors/bimodules)
Poly Op: ⊗ (parallel composition)
Kan Role: Adj (adjunction bridge)

GF(3) Naturality

The skill participates in triads where:

(-1) + (0) + (+1) ≡ 0 (mod 3)

This ensures compositional coherence in the Cat# equipment structure.
