Āutonomy Matrix

The Āutonomy Matrix is the first provably-neutral, permissionless, and verifiable framework to measure the global reputation of a peer as equal to the value that they create in their community, and the network at large.

Unlike traditional reputation models, it does not rely on subjective ratings or financial assets but mathematically measures participation, accountability, and influence.

It achieves this by integrating multiple self-adjusting, mathematically grounded parameters to extract Peer Value, which arises from the intersection of:

• Identity (verifiable uniqueness & historical contributions)

• Community (local reputation & contextual credibility)

• Interactions (on-chain activity & social graph positioning)

This is executed through four independent, modular and composable protocols:

1. ĀutID – The identity layer that ensures self-sovereign reputation.

2. Hub – The on-chain community structure where participation occurs.

3. Interaction Tree – A contribution-tracking system that quantifies actions as Participation Score.

4. Peer Value – The final global reputation metric, weighted by Prestige and social graph dynamics.

How Reputation is Measured

The Āutonomy Matrix follows a local-first approach, where a peer's Participation Score (PS) is calculated as the ratio between actual contributions and expected commitments within a Hub​, where each Contribution is an on-chain event created in a Hub, to which is assigned a custom amount of points. It's also the first pointing system which exists on-chain, rather on a backend server ownable and modifiable by a private individual or corporation.

• This local reputation (PS) is then weighted using the Prestige primitive, which reflects the credibility of each Hub itself.

• Finally, the system incorporates graph-based network metrics to adjust for peer's relative position respect to their links, ensuring fair influence distribution across the ecosystem.

By combining meritocratic, commitment-based scoring with semantic, context-aware weighting, the Āutonomy Matrix provides a fully decentralized, Sybil-resistant, and adaptive reputation standard for Web3 governance, collaboration, and coordination.
