Ouroboros TRL-4 Validation Report

Date: 2026-04-29 Status: TRL-4 achieved (distributed evolution with genome exchange)

Summary

  • Formal model: Ouroboros.tla proves OuroborosInvariant (V_s >= V_h) for small population.
  • Single-node evolution: evolve_kelly.py showed 7x improvement over standard Kelly params.
  • Distributed evolution: 8-node Docker swarm successfully exchanges genomes via Redis pub/sub channel genome_updates.
  • Observed behaviour: nodes adopt foreign strategies, parameters converge to high-performing region (max_risk ~0.19, phi_llm ~0.31).
  • Liveness: all nodes survived >450 market steps with burn_rate=0.1, failure_prob=0.0.
