Eight axes. Two coins. One chain.
The technical paper is a 64-page peer-readable specification of the Conceptual Health® network. It derives the Master Equation from the eight validated axis sub-scores, defines the dual-coin economic model, specifies the settlement-chain protocol, names the identity-and-custody construction, and walks the security architecture top to bottom. It's written for engineers, clinicians, regulators, and researchers — the same document for all four audiences, because anything we can't say in plain technical English is something we shouldn't be saying.
Abstract
A single composite metric. Two regulated coins. A purpose-built chain.
Conceptual Health is an eight-dimensional health metric paired with a regulated dual-coin economy that settles on a purpose-built healthcare blockchain. The metric — the Master Equation — combines eight validated axis sub-scores under a non-linear function with a behavioral exponent. The economy uses one token (HCR) for verified patient health actions and a second (HCC) for verified work events across clinical care, engineering, compliance, and research. The settlement chain is HIPAA-aware by construction: economic events live on-chain; PHI lives off-chain, linked by cryptographic hash.
What the paper covers
Ten chapters. Sixty-four pages. No filler.
§1 · Master Equation
One score. Eight axes. A linear combination with audited weights.
CH = 0.18·PO + 0.16·NM + 0.14·ER + 0.13·SC + 0.11·RS + 0.10·ES + 0.10·TA + 0.08·PV. Weight stability ±0.012 (95% confidence interval) across the validation cohort. Full derivation in the paper.
§2 · Axis derivations
Eight sub-scores. Each a published instrument.
Physical & Outdoor, Nutritional & Metabolic, Emotional & Relational, Social & Communal, Religious & Spiritual, Environmental Stewardship, Technological & Adaptive, Purposeful & Vocational. Each axis maps to a published clinical instrument with citation.
§3 · HCR
Health-action token. 21B hard cap. Halving schedule.
Patient-mined via verified health actions. Hard cap of 21,000,000,000 HCR. Halving at patient-count milestones: 10k / 50k / 250k / 1M / 5M / 25M. No founder reserve.
§4 · HCC
Data-marketplace and work token. 12% / 88% split.
Work-mined via verified clinical encounters, engineering merges, compliance attestations, IP filings, research milestones, and verified compute. Patient-consented research yields HCC with 12% retained by the platform and 88% accruing to the patient.
§5 · Settlement chain
Five-second blocks. Proof-of-Authority → BFT migration.
Block-time target 5 seconds. Phase 1: PoA validator (single CH HQ). Phase 2: Byzantine Fault Tolerant migration with licensed healthcare institutions as validators.
§6 · Identity & custody
Hardware-rooted, passkey-gated, recovery-quorum-based.
Hardware-rooted identity (Apple Secure Enclave / Android Strongbox), FIDO2 and passkey authentication, Shamir-secret-share recovery with a family quorum and attorney-of-record as last-resort signer.
§7 · Consent & IRB
Per-recipient. Per-scope. Cryptographically revocable.
Every data share is a device-signed grant naming the recipient, the scope, and the duration. Revocation propagates on the next block with a published SLA. Research participation passes our IRB before any signal flows.
§8 · Security architecture
FIPS-validated primitives. Plain-English threat model.
AES-256-GCM at rest (FIPS 140-3). TLS 1.3 with X25519 in transit. Ed25519 for chain signing. The threat model — who can attack what, with what capability, against what defense — is enumerated chapter by chapter.
§9 · Governance & covenant
Three standing promises encoded in board-charter.
Never sell patient data. Never charge patients. Never lock data. Each requires a supermajority of patient-representative board seats to amend — see the About page for the full board structure.
§10 · Open extensions
The 31 IP disclosures. Hash-anchored. Defensive-only.
The full list of disclosures (CH-IP-001 through CH-IP-031) appears on the patents page, each with its chain-anchored hash. Defensive filings only — the patent non-assertion pledge at /legal/patent-pledge/ covers under-served care permanently.
