-The network calculation used to determine a decision based on the individuals votes will take the general form of a 4 layered feed-forward network with the first three layers being non-thresholding layers while the fourth implements a complex system of interrelated thresholds. These four network math layers are not to be confused with the lay-person voting layers. They are calculation machinery, and not human-subjective function description. The input data will take the form of vectors of ternary numbers (+/0/-).
-
-The first network layer will be the input data.  The first set of weights is derived from chain data, and will weigh the input data into nodes of the second network layer which represents a detailed list of currency related functionalities. The form of the data at this point will be vectors of integers. They will be accompanied by additional scalars, which retain the number of original non-zero votes for each function. The scalars may be used to determine vote percentages. Those functionalities, once summed, will be weighed into the third network layer.
-
-The third network layer will contain a list of the primary value dimensions (or lay-person voting layers). The data in that layer will be summed according to the weight scheme chosen for the three value dimensions. It consists of vectors of integers and scalars
-
-The fourth network layer sums data from the vectors of integers and scalars from the third layer into a mutually suppressive thresholding system. The vector data is split from vectors into scalars. Each node of the fourth layer represents one of the elements of the vectors.  Each node of the fourth layer fills a thresholding function and outputs a single boolean number, all, except for one of which being 0 (not chosen)  while one of which is 1 (chosen).

 Suppose some whales from JP Morgan and other financial institutions decide PIVX has potential, although it hasn't been doing all that well lately. First, they act as bears, spreading 'FUD' and doubt, possibly even borrowing PIVX on margin, and selling them. However, as the price dips a bit further, they then buy up a few million $ worth of undervalued PIVX. Some of the bots and traders, seeing how the market has suddenly picked up momentum, following common indicators and technical analysis, also buy in, which drives the price up further.

Even if they did sell soon, they still wouldn't get a vote because of the EMA.

+Now the price is up, but if the whales tried to sell right then, so would the other traders, and besides, they bought PIVX  because they thought it had potential. Even if they did sell soon. With pivmetheus, they still wouldn't get a vote because of the EMA, so voting actions would be delayed. Without such delays and multiple voting layers requiring conquest, they will quickly have power to install what rules they wish.

+Suppose after some time, the devs come up with a great new feature and it boosts PIVX value yet further. Now they wait, and play the role of investors, slowly buying more pivs, as if they were blowing upwards on a feather, until they decide they would finally like to sell. Now that they have a strong vote, they wait for a major issue to arise and create a rather unpopular option for the issue, or simply think up something lousy to vote in.  
+
+Now, if we have single layer or 1p1v voting, the whales can erect a large number of masternodes or stakers or simply hold a large amount of PIVX, whatever strategy obtains the most vote. They can promote and vote in a lousy option and instantly dump their pivs at high price, even margin-sell them.  Just after they sell, they send people to forums and/or on the news etc. and boo-hoo about the lousy option just passed, and about the falling price. Now the momentum has switched. They take small amounts of remaining PIVX and gently blow the feather back down, since it's trying to fall and the public is panic selling. They then pick up their PIVS again at panic-sell bottom price, and when they recover their voting power, they can correct the lousy option and promote the price back up.

+If PIVmetheus is installed, the required PIVX holdings for this strategy would be excessive. If they get enough PIVs to dominate the I layer, they could shoot for that domination. Unfortunately for them, it's extremely difficult to dominate both the I and N<sup>2</sup> layers.  If they cut their accounts to grab N<sup>2</sup> vote, the remaining I players will block their lousy option. If they don't, the N<sup>2</sup> layer will block their lousy option. If they invest enough to dominate both layers, they push the price up fantastically, and take extreme risk of others selling at very high price out from underneath them, and leaving themselves proud owners of their own personal currency of severely diminished value. They can do nothing with it but sell lower than they purchased. There is no, or practically no profitable way to install a lousy option, dump, insult, and re-purchase because PIVmetheus doesn't accept lousy options.  Furthermore, the time required to make an attack on PIVmetheus would be excessive.  Far better to attack a currency that gives them immediate control.

 ## 4.3 S layer
 
-The S layer is unique amongst the layers because holding PIVX is not proof of network support function.  Proper proof of network support function can only be acquired by evidence of masternode or staking rewards. Therefore, rather than using current PIVX holdings, we propose counting the PIVX rewarded to an address within a period of time, probably 2 weeks. Then we run that number through the same no dancing filter, or exponential moving average as the other two layers to acquire vote weight so as to substantiate that an account is participating actively over a period of time. We then offer 50% of the vote power of the S layer to masternodes and 50% of it to staking nodes.  While some discussion of creating a concept of “tokens” for accounting vote weights for this layer, we see this as unnecessary at the time, but possibly valuable for future projects.

-If vote nodes become a necessity because of voter apathy, then the vote node holders would acquire 10% of the S layer such that the percentages become 45/45/10.  That 14% would not belong to accounts being represented by vote nodes, but rather to the vote node accounts themselves.  In this case, every vote node representing more than a threshold number of accounts (start with 20) and also  (start with) over 5000 PIVs would share equally with other qualifying  vote nodes the 14% of S layer vote.

 Market gaming is an old art and profession. We have entire cities full of individuals who excel at gaming. These people play both sides of the market, buying and selling. They get together strategically in groups and use complicated collections of computer-bots, advertising, political and legal leverage, news, and now even social media to push markets up and down without substantially spending their own resources.  Bots turn markets into gambling casinos. Then, they capitalize on the fears and mistakes of large numbers of traders who do not understand that the cards have been intentionally and strategically stacked against them. Cryptos and ICOs are a hot-bed of this kind of activity, which is why China attacked the ICO market.  The public has been robbed of many billions of dollars by pump’n dump ICOs.  Currency supplies of entire nations have been repeatedly destroyed by means of market gaming. Market gaming is so extremely lucrative that it attracts and pays for high class mathematicians, IT talent, and legal talent.  It buys off the opinions of asessment experts.  It even incentivizes the destruction of large numbers of large corporations, for just as money can be made by building something … in the markets, it can be made by destroying something, or even just temporarily damaging it.  It is possible to place bets on either the rise or fall of a market in various ways, and if you can control what you are betting on, then you just might be a robber.  A voting system which lends control of an asset to a small sub-group of the owners of the asset exacerbates the possibilities of using complicated strategies to game wealth away from its proper owners.  Examination of historical records shows that PIVX its self has already fallen prey to classic “pump’n dump” strategies. 
 
-PIVmetheus is designed to put a heavy damper on such dark dynamics by allowing all participants an appropriate quantity of leverage in the system therefore denying control of the currency to small exploitive groups.

This very issue is in fact the purpose of “The Federal Reserve”, “The IMF” and other intelligence groups for their respective bodies of currency.   If installed, PIVmetheus will be a gigantic step towards making crypto-currency safe for public consumption and for the future of man kind.
