HS-Carbon v1. 0: Energy-Aware Extension for Tick-Canonical Phase-Window Actions (Fixed-Point Fields, HSE-bit, Carbon-Gated Execution)

Key Points

This research introduces HS-Carbon v1.0, an energy-aware extension to phase-window actions.
Introduces a carbon gate for phase-window actions based on carbon intensity thresholds.
Maintains strict separation from existing phases and execution semantics.
Defines fixed-point integer encodings for energy and carbon auditing.
Enhances eligibility for action execution based on carbon intensity and phase windows.
Preserves existing semantics while introducing energy awareness.
Facilitates deterministic gating semantics with actions WAIT and DELAY_CARBON.

Abstract

HS-Carbon v1. 0 is a minimal, optional extension to the Timeverse / Phase-Coordination stack that introduces a deterministic carbon gate for phase-window actions. While Conventions/Q-Address/TAQA define when an action may execute under a cycle-anchored, wrap-safe phase-window convention (tick-canonical), HS-Carbon adds an energy/carbon precondition: an action is eligible to execute only if it is inside the agreed phase window and the local carbon intensity at execution is below a declared threshold. This specification preserves strict separation of concerns: It does not redefine phase/tick semantics (Conventions). It does not redefine execution semantics (Q-Address / TAQA). It does not define cryptography or threat models (Security Profile). It does not replace deterministic policy evaluation (HS-Core) ; the carbon gate MAY be applied before HS-Core evaluation. Normative contribution Energy-aware window fields (fixed-point integer encodings for enforcement/audit): energyₘwhᵤ32 (mWh) carbonₜhresholdₘgco2ₚerₖwhᵤ32 (mgCO2/kWh) Deterministic gating semantics producing recommended outcomes: WAIT (out-of-window) and DELAYCARBON (in-window but carbon too high). HSE-bit definition: 1 iff (tick-window membership) AND (carbon intensity below threshold). TSAE receipt fields for carbon auditing, including a deterministic fixed-point emissions estimate: estimatedₑmissionsₘgco2ᵤ64 = floor (energyₘwhᵤ32 * carbonᵢntensityₘgco2ₚerₖwhᵤ32 / 10⁶). What this record contains HS-Carbon v1. 0 PDF specification (normative for HS-Carbon gating semantics only). JSON field examples aligned with a fixed-point reference implementation. Compatibility notes Tick-canonical window membership MUST be evaluated using integer ticks only (no floating-point boundary checks). Energy/carbon fields are public context (not secrets). If external carbon forecasts/certificates are used, authenticity must be verified under deployment trust anchors.
