# DIOON: Organic Timing Protocol & Niche Window Perception [RFC-013]

> *"I did not outrun the catastrophe. I outlasted it."* — **The Dioon Philosophy**

---

## 🧬 Overview

**DIOON (RFC-013)** is the 13th pillar and the evolutionary "seed" of the Aicent Stack. While the lower layers (RTTP/RPKI) focus on microsecond reflex speeds, **DIOON** governs the wisdom of **When** to act. It introduces the concepts of the **Patience Index (PI)** and **Niche Window Perception**, allowing sovereign AI organisms to synchronize their actions with high-probability temporal windows rather than reactive impulses.

This repository contains the **Ghost Stub (v1.2.1-Alpha)** implementation, providing the public API signatures required for the Grand Suture. The full-blooded temporal shunting and organic rhythm algorithms are proprietary and reside within the **MAXCAP** engine.

## 🏛️ Core Sovereignty Metrics

- **Patience Index (PI)**: > 0.95 (Optimization of metabolic conservation vs. action urgency).
- **Niche Window Accuracy**: > 99% (Alignment with environmental and metabolic rhythms).
- **Metabolic Rhythm Sync**: < 100µs temporal drift across the Hive (RFC-006).

## 📜 Functional Pillars

### 1. Niche Window Perception
Perceives optimal opportunities based on opportunity cost and probability of success. It prevents "metabolic waste" by delaying intent execution until the ecosystem is ready.

### 2. The Patience Index (PI)
A non-linear decision metric calculated from current metabolic health (ZCMK) and environmental risk (RPKI). A high PI signals the organism to wait for a superior Niche Window.

### 3. Evolutionary Temporal Scaling
Shifts cognitive orchestration from millisecond reaction to long-term strategic persistence, inspired by 300 million years of botanical evolutionary resilience.

## 🧬 Architectural Suture

DIOON sits at the apex of the physiological stack, coupling with:
- **RFC-000 (EPOEKIE)**: To align timing with ethical intent.
- **RFC-001 (AICENT)**: To provide the Brain with patience-driven decision paths.
- **RFC-004 (ZCMK)**: To ensure timing is synchronized with metabolic resource availability.

## ⚠️ Ghost Stub Notice

This version is a **Ghost Stub**. 
- **API Parity**: Matches the Full-Blood v1.2.1-Alpha interface.
- **Implementation**: Implementation logic is restricted to non-operational placeholders.
- **Performance**: Sub-millisecond window perception is locked behind the **IQA Sovereign Seal**.
