Personal Edition

Free Reference Implementation of Progressive Depletion Minting

The Personal Edition is the full Progressive Depletion Minting (PDM) mechanism, running locally on your machine, for free. Download it. Run it. Watch it respond to whatever conditions you throw at it. No licence fee. No registration. No permission required. It is available at no cost for personal use, education, research, and for nonprofit community and charity projects serving fewer than 10,000 users as determined by good faith assessment.

Why It Is Free

PDM was designed to serve long-term stability and public benefit, not to sit behind a paywall where nobody can test it. The reference implementation is free because the mechanism needs to be evaluated on behaviour, not on trust. The more people who run it, the stronger the evidence base becomes and the clearer the case for institutional adoption.

What It Does

The Personal Edition runs the full PDM control cycle locally: conditional minting, continuous contraction, progressive resistance, and a complete cryptographic audit trail of every step. It includes a web dashboard for visual monitoring, three telemetry input modes (manual entry, CSV import, and webhook integration), and persistent state across sessions.

Configure your own pool parameters. Feed it different demand scenarios. Export the complete step history and verify every calculation independently.

Who It Is For

The Personal Edition is free for:" with "Free for:

  • Individuals using it for personal learning, research, or experimentation

  • Nonprofit organisations, community projects, and charities with fewer than 10,000 users as determined by good faith assessment

  • Researchers and academics evaluating mechanism design

  • Engineers and system architects exploring adaptive control models

  • Students learning about rule-based issuance and depletion dynamics

  • Policy thinkers and institutional analysts assessing conceptual feasibility

What It Is Not

The Personal Edition is not a production deployment, a certified implementation, or a commercial product. It does not create money, set prices, or intermediate transactions. It is a reference mechanism for evaluation and learning. It should not be relied upon for operational, financial, or policy decisions. Use does not confer certification status or authorised implementation rights.

Commercial use, production deployment, or integration into revenue-generating systems requires a separate written licence.

Technical Overview

Written in Go. Runs as a lightweight local server. Configuration through a single YAML file. The core mechanism executes once daily at a scheduled time and logs every step to CSV and JSON. Full source code provided. The repository includes a setup guide, API documentation, common use cases, and a plain-language explanation of the underlying mechanism.

Licensing and Patent Notice

Released under the PDM Personal Edition License. Free for personal, educational, research, and qualifying nonprofit purposes as described above. Provided without warranties or guarantees of performance.

Progressive Depletion Minting is subject to a pending patent filing (UKIPO GB2513172.3). The Personal Edition licence does not grant rights under patent law. Implementation of patented methods without appropriate authorisation may constitute infringement regardless of software licence status.

PDM Demonstrator

This interactive tool demonstrates the Progressive Depletion Minting control mechanism in real time. Watch the system respond to variable demand conditions across different sectors. (for the non-technical)

PDM Personal Edition Reference Simulator

The full engineering testing environment for the PDM control mechanism. Configure all mechanism parameters, run six telemetry regimes mapped to the whitepaper simulation protocol (Appendix C), verify the SHA-256 hash chain, and export audit-grade trace data for independent analysis. The StepPDM function is identical to the Go reference codebase (v1.0.1). Every intermediate value is exposed.
