# QuorumPulse

Fluid, organic synchronization without rigid clock ticks.

Layer: Society · Category: Protocols

## Mechanism

[Signal](https://mindscape.pages.dev/bootstrap/Signal.md) Density Trigger: [State](https://mindscape.pages.dev/bootstrap/State.md) transitions trigger only when local signal density exceeds threshold. It syncs state via [Heartbeat](https://mindscape.pages.dev/bootstrap/Heartbeat.md) signals, triggering transitions only when signal density exceeds the quorum threshold.

## Invariants

- [Quorum](https://mindscape.pages.dev/bootstrap/Quorum.md): Action triggers if PulseCount > QuorumThreshold within Window
- Liveness: Pulse frequency > 0
- Pulse acknowledgment required.

## Preconditions

- Network is asynchronous

## Postconditions

- Action triggered or suppressed by vote

## Failure modes

- [Signal](https://mindscape.pages.dev/bootstrap/Signal.md) saturation.
- Echo chambers.
