XIE — True Power (Step 4 of 6)¶
One-line pitch: XIE is your "real" power stat. It takes XIA's Charge and mixes in cryptographic reaction outputs (Omicron, Omega) for the final triad.
What this is¶
XIE is step 4 of the power chain:
QI → MAI → XIA → XIE → ZI → PANG
It takes XIA's Charge value and augments it with two reaction outputs:
- Omicron — one output of the SHIO reaction math.
- Omega — the other.
The result is a three-part reading — (Charge, Omicron, Omega) — that collectively defines your power at a specific venue. This is the stat that downstream systems like CHAN and CHEON reference when they need a "how strong is this player here?" number.
Exposed through Power(QING) — a single-call convenience that computes XIE for a given player/venue pair.
If you've played a web3 game before¶
- Closest analogy: a final effective stake after all bonuses are applied — used for real voting decisions.
- Or: a combat power rating in an RPG that factors in weapon, buffs, and RNG.
- Or: a boosted voting power (veToken-style) that factors in time-weighted staking.
| Dysnomia term | What it maps to |
|---|---|
| XIE | The power-triad stage |
| Power(QING) | Convenience call returning your XIE triad |
| Charge | Combat power component (from XIA) |
| Omicron / Omega | Reaction-derived components |
What you actually do with it¶
- Check your power — read XIE's
Power(QING)to see your effective stat at a venue. - Optimize upstream — your XIE is only as good as the QI/MAI/XIA it's built on.
Rewards / costs¶
- Cost: none.
- Reward: none directly.
Requirements & gating¶
- Requires upstream state (your QI/MAI/XIA all need to be non-zero for meaningful XIE).
- Reads SHIO reaction outputs, which depend on your SHIO having been properly set up at signup.
Where it connects¶
Reads XIA (step 3). Feeds into ZI (step 5). Consumed directly by CHAN and indirectly by CHEON during reward calculation.
Quick FAQ¶
Q: Why a triad instead of one number? A: Different consumers want different slices. WAR cares most about Charge; some distribution logic weighs Omicron and Omega differently. Keeping three numbers lets later code pick what's relevant.
Q: Do I ever lose XIE? A: Power fluctuates with upstream state (entropy drift, token balance changes). You don't get charged for XIE, but it can drop if you sell your holdings.
Q: What's the difference between XIE's Charge and WAR's Charge? A: WAR reads a Charge value that ultimately traces back through XIE's output plus PANG's spin-modified version. The core XIE Charge is the raw pre-spin number.
