Dual Table

A table of the optimal duals that guide us on how to control the incentive mechanism

When duals are nonzero, we pay attention. When the duals are zero, no adjustment needed, everything is firing on full cylinders. With this understanding we can form a digital “scoreboard” of the duals and watch them in real time in order to make tweaks or adjustments to the initial conditions of the next epoch.

Budget	λ_B	Budget is the bottleneck. More budget leads to more flow.
κ cap	λ_κ	Pay-per-dollar cap is binding.
Diversity	λ_i	Miner i wants more share, capped by diversity.
Ramp	ρ_i±	Smoothness is limiting re-allocations.
Eligibility	μ_i	Some miners disqualified by ROI/volume/Kelly.
Bounds	ν_i±	Some allocations hit 0 or 1.
Link	α	Keeps bookkeeping consistent (usually not interpreted as a policy dial).
