Its numeric normalization problem is therefore "parse the number correctly, reject if the instrument/currency/unit doesn't match" - a match-or-reject gate, never a conversion. Gold is genuinely different: reputable sources legitimately quote gold in different UNITS (troy ounce, gram, kilogram, tola) AND different PURITIES/KARATS (24K pure, 22K, 21K, 18K, 14K, 10K) - all at once, for the same real-world metal, at the same moment. Rejecting every source that doesn't happen to match one arbitrarily-chosen unit+karat combination would make most reputable bullion-market sources useless. The actual engineering problem this contract solves is: extract each source's own stated KARAT, UNIT, and PRICE, then DETERMINISTICALLY convert every source (and the agreement's own threshold) onto one common basis - USD per gram of 24-karat (pure) gold - using fixed physical conversion constants (troy-ounce-to-gram, karat-to- fractional-purity), so that sources quoted in different units and purities can still be validly compared against one threshold. This is a materially different, harder normalization problem than OilPriceOracle's, not a renamed copy of it. What IS deliberately reused from OilPriceOracle (because it is genuinely commodity-agnostic infrastructure, not lazy copying): domain-provenance annotation, duplicate-domain detection, content- quality classification, prompt-injection guardrails, the prompt_comparative/EQUIVALENCE_PRINCIPLE consensus pattern, the two-party settlement workflow, and - having learned directly from a GenLayer Portal steward's review of OilPriceOracle - the optional `required_source_domains` source-policy commitment, included here from the start rather than retrofitted after a rejection. See "Source Policy Commitment" in the README for the full history of why that mechanism exists. ------------------------------------------------------------------- THE CORE DESIGN DECISION: WHAT GETS CONVERTED, WHAT GETS REJECTED ------------------------------------------------------------------- Two different kinds of "unit mismatch" are NOT treated the same way here, deliberately: - KARAT and UNIT differences are converted, deterministically, in pure Python, using FIXED PHYSICAL CONSTANTS (1 troy ounce is always exactly 31.1034768 grams; 22-karat gold is always exactly 22/24 pure by definition). These ratios never change, never fluctuate, and are identical for every validator - so it is safe for the contract itself to do this arithmetic. - CURRENCY differences are NOT converted - a source quoting gold in EUR or INR is excluded (currency_mismatch), exactly like OilPriceOracle excludes a wrong-currency oil quote. A USD/EUR exchange rate is a live, fluctuating market quantity, not a fixed constant - letting the contract (or the LLM) silently apply "today's" exchange rate would reintroduce the exact problem this whole design pattern exists to avoid: a consensus-critical numeric conversion that could legitimately differ between validators, or simply be wrong/stale. This mirrors the same principle OilPriceOracle already established for its own instrument/currency/unit field, applied here with a sharper, deliberate line between "fixed constant -> safe to convert" and "live market rate -> reject, do not convert". A consequence of this: unlike OilPriceOracle, this contract has NO LLM self-reported COMPARISON field to cross-check the deterministic result against (see _build_prompt) - asking the model to compare a price across different karats/units would require it to perform exactly the conversion arithmetic this design deliberately keeps out of the LLM's hands. This is a disclosed, deliberate trade-off, not an oversight - see "Known Limitations" in the README. ------------------------------------------------------------------- CORE GENLAYER BUILDING BLOCKS USED ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. gl.nondet.web.render() -> trustless web access (per source) 2. gl.nondet.exec_prompt() -> LLM reasoning inside a contract 3. gl.eq_principle.prompt_comparative() -> Optimistic Democracy consensus on LLM-derived output (never strict_eq - see OilPriceOracle's docstring for why not, same reasoning applies here unchanged) """ # ------------------------------------------------------------------ # Persistent on-chain storage # ------------------------------------------------------------------ agreements: TreeMap[str, str] agreement_count: u256 # ------------------------------------------------------------------ # Fixed vocabularies crossing the consensus boundary. # ------------------------------------------------------------------ CURRENCY_WORDS = ("USD", "Other", "Unclear") KARAT_WORDS = ("24K", "22K", "21K", "18K", "14K", "10K", "Unspecified") UNIT_WORDS = ("TroyOunce", "Gram", "Kilogram", "Tola", "Unspecified") FRESHNESS_WORDS = ("Current", "Stale", "Unknown") FETCH_STATUSES = ("ok", "empty", "timeout", "inaccessible", "malformed") COMPARISON_WORDS = ("Above", "Below", "Equal", "Unclear") QUALITY_FLAGS = ( "ok", "currency_mismatch", # source not clearly quoted in USD "karat_unrecognized", # source didn't state a known karat "unit_unrecognized", # source didn't state a known unit "stale_or_unknown_freshness", "price_unparseable", # source PRICE, or the derived normalized # value, could not be computed ) FINAL_VERDICTS = ("Above", "Below", "Equal", "Indeterminate") WINNERS = ("party_a", "party_b", "unresolved") # ------------------------------------------------------------------ # Fixed physical conversion constants.
