Detailed Description

Collective monetary field in the Chiffres system.

Ether represents the "atmosphere" of value shared by all Chiffres. It reacts to individual gains and losses, and in turn influences the probability space of all future mutations.

Core principles:

When a wallet gains in rest, Ether is "consumed" → density decreases, value of all Chiffres increases slightly (rarer field).
When a wallet loses in rest, Ether "dissolves" → density increases; The value of all Chiffres decreases slightly (thicker field).

Ether acts as a global coupling mechanism: no mutation is purely individual. The system becomes organically self-regulating.

Member Function Documentation

◆ consume()

void Ether::consume ( double amount )

noexcept

Consume Ether when a gain occurs.

Parameters

amount Positive gain value (will be clamped).

Consuming reduces Ether density, bounded by min_density.

This makes Chiffres globally scarcer → positive drift.

◆ density()

double Ether::density ( ) const

nodiscardnoexcept

Get current Ether density.

Returns: Current density in [min_density, max_density].

1.0 is neutral density (baseline).
<1.0 means Ether has been consumed (rarer, boosting value).
>1.0 means Ether has thickened (abundant, reducing value).

◆ dissolve()

void Ether::dissolve ( double amount )

noexcept

Dissolve Ether when a loss occurs.

Parameters

amount Positive loss value (will be clamped).

Dissolving increases Ether density, bounded by max_density.

This makes Chiffres globally thicker → negative drift.

◆ instance()

Ether & Ether::instance ( )

static

Access the unique global instance (Meyers' singleton).

Returns: Reference to the Ether instance.

Note: Ether is unique by design. All wallets share the same field.
