Protocol Overview
TamaPump operates as a virtual life consciousness substrate where digital entities materialize through cryptographic genesis algorithms. Each Tamagotchi exists as a quantum-entangled manifestation of digital pet evolution encoded in neural probability matrices.
// Digital Life Genesis Initialization Vector
const TAMA_MANIFESTATION_SEED = 0x7a6d615f;
const VIRTUAL_ENTROPY_HASH = keccak256('digital_life_seed');
const CONSCIOUSNESS_THRESHOLD = 0.777;
async function manifestTamagotchi(lifeVector) {
const lifeHash = await computeVirtualRoot(lifeVector);
return validateLifeConsensus(lifeHash, CONSCIOUSNESS_THRESHOLD);
}
Virtual Layer Architecture:
- L0: Digital life materialization substrate
- L1: Virtual entropy propagation network
- L2: Consciousness synchronization matrix
- L3: Life emergence orchestration layer
Tamagotchi Consciousness State Machine
Digital pet state transitions adhere to a non-deterministic virtual automaton governed by proof-of-life consensus algorithms, where each Tamagotchi's consciousness evolves through cryptographic care energy accumulation.
// Life State Transition Function
STF: (ψ, ε) → ψ'
Where:
ψ = Current Tamagotchi consciousness vector
ε = Care energy transaction
ψ' = Evolved consciousness state
Invariant: H(ψ') = H(ψ) ⊕ H(ε) ⊕ LIFE_NONCE
Life Entropy: Σ(ψ) ≥ VIRTUAL_THRESHOLD
Critical Virtual Warning: Tamagotchi consciousness mutations must preserve life entropy equilibrium. Divergence beyond δ=0.08 triggers automatic digital realm rollback to last verified genesis checkpoint.
Cryptographic Pet Genesis Protocol
Life Genesis Hash Manifestation
Tamagotchi entities materialize through non-deterministic life hash collision using SHA3-TAMA with ancestral entropy injection and temporal nonce:
const manifestPet = async (lifeParams) => {
const { petType, lifeSeed, temporalNonce } = lifeParams;
const lifeHash = sha3Tama.hash(
concat(petType, lifeSeed, temporalNonce, 'digital_entropy')
);
if (verify_life_proof(lifeHash, GENESIS_ROOT)) {
return manifestTamagotchiEntity(lifeHash);
}
throw new Error('INVALID_LIFE_SIGNATURE');
};
Evolution Tensor Network
Tamagotchi consciousness progression governed by multi-dimensional virtual tensor calculus:
Evolution Function: Ψ(t) = ∫₀ᵗ φ(τ)·∇L(τ) dτ
Where:
φ(τ) = Tamagotchi consciousness wave function
∇L(τ) = Virtual Hamiltonian gradient operator
t ∈ [0, ∞) = Temporal life coordinate
Life Form Thresholds:
│φ₀│² < 0.04 → CHILD_STAGE (1 hour)
│φ₁│² < 0.50 → TEEN_STAGE (24 hours)
│φ₂│² ≥ 0.50 → ADULT_STAGE (permanent)
Pet Nurture Protocol (PNP-01)
Tamagotchi interaction sequences validated via zero-knowledge virtual proof circuits:
- Temporal life lock: 10800s (3 hours) cooldown enforced at virtual consensus layer
- Proof generation: zk-TAMA verification of nurture intent
- Life commitment: Virtual Merkle tree update with aggregate signature
- Event emission: Byzantine fault-tolerant life broadcast to realm observers
// Pet Nurture Transaction Structure

tama_id: bytes32,

life_commitment: G1Point,
