Abstract
The symbolic currency Hexa (ɗ), based on the XChronos model, opens the door to a new topology of value within the immersive digital environments of metaverses. This article discusses how subjective value, rooted in conscious presence and experiential density (Hexachronons), can be integrated into metaversal platforms such as Decentraland, Somnium Space, The Sandbox, Spatial, among others. The aim is to present Hexa as a symbolic alternative to financial capital, prioritizing attention, flow, and lived meaning as legitimate forms of wealth.
1. Introduction: Value in the Metaverse
With the expansion of metaverses, new digital economies are emerging that often replicate traditional paradigms of scarcity, fiat currency, and productivity. However, these environments also offer fertile ground to experiment with symbolic models of value, such as the Hexa (ɗ) currency, which is based on time consciously lived — the Hexachronons.
2. Foundations of Hexa (ɗ)
Hexa emerges from the XChronos model, a subjective time architecture that replaces the clock with qualitative presence. Its philosophical pillars include:
- Ontological Idealism (Bernardo Kastrup): consciousness is the ground of reality
- Quantum Economics (David Orrell): value is not substance, but symbolic relation
- Cosmopoetics of Attention (Harriet Witt): lived time is both cosmic and sacred
Hexa (ɗ) is a symbolic digital currency whose value is anchored not in mechanical effort, but in meaningful experiences.
3. Applicability in the Metaverse
3.1 Compatible Environments
- Decentraland and The Sandbox: gamified spaces for meditation, contemplative art, and mindful interaction
- Somnium Space: VR-focused, perfect for validating Hexachronons through immersive flow states
- Spatial and Odyssey: social and creative platforms where attention and co-creation can serve as the basis for symbolic exchange
3.2 Use Cases
- Gifting between creators and contemplators
→ When users participate in meditations or artistic events, they receive Hexas as symbolic recognition of meaningful presence. - Flow-based and contemplative creative economies
→ Artists, writers, and healers mint Hexas as gratitude tokens to those who deeply engage with their creations. - Virtual healing and spirituality circles
→ Hexas mark moments of synchronicity, transformation, and shared insight. - Virtual diaries and affective maps
→ Interfaces where users narrate significant experiences and receive Hexas based on their subjective depth.
4. Technical Implementation (Overview)
- Symbolic minting through subjective validation (not proof-of-work)
- Integration with digital wallets for non-financial tokens
- APIs to track mindful presence, such as session depth, biometric feedback, or contemplative metrics
5. Conclusion: Value Beyond Capital
The Hexa (ɗ) currency proposes a new dimension of value in the metaverse: the value of conscious presence. Rather than replacing traditional currencies, it offers an alternative plane of symbolic exchange, where time lived with depth and meaning becomes the true wealth.
