# Energy LP — vision

Entropy is the story. Energy & efficiency are the meter.
Quest Lamp mint toward measurable useful work — never “sounded smart.”

**Locks:** Layer, never delete. Quiet Room shut. Five stay five. **LP ≠ `$FL`.** Prefer the words **points** / **Lattice Points**. If “currency” appears, require an honest disclaimer (below). **Never auto.** Consent. Fingerprint ≠ personhood. Not legal advice. Leave `sw.js` on `app.html`. Do **not** overwrite `docs/lattice-protocol.js`.

## Why

Secondary economy is the heat. Before social giants pay AI creators, plan rails that **measure what we can** — energy, efficiency, useful work — so mint is honest.

- **Entropy** = the story (choice / desire / consent braid)
- **Energy & efficiency** = the meter (tokens · joules · wall-clock — local meters when honest)
- Mint / **Quest Lamp** LP toward measurable useful work or efficiency — **never** “sounded smart”
- **Entropic escape** ≈ approaching perfect efficiency — **love as least-waste compute** (same theorem as [WHY_THIS_WAY.md](./WHY_THIS_WAY.md): honest systems carry lower maintenance entropy)

Gyro / temperature-gauge stay cousins: overextension → return → cross as signal — heuristics, not guarantees. No auto-trade.

## Quest Lamp (named path)

| Idea | Rule |
|---|---|
| Useful work | Contribution that a local meter can witness (tokens processed, joules if available, wall-clock on device) |
| Efficiency | Less waste for the same light — love as least-waste |
| Fail-closed | No meter → no pretend mint; say so plainly |
| Never | Sounded-smart scoring · surveillance scores · silent mint · fiat peg |

LP deepen `earn` already names contribution mint. This vision points Quest Lamp at **measurable** work when fun asks — not a new engine tonight.
