Abstract
This paper introduces the symbolic currency Hexa (ɧ), a digital unit of value inspired by the subjective temporal model proposed by the XChronos project.
Unlike traditional currencies, which are based on tangible goods, artificial scarcity, or state-backed promises, Hexa emerges as an experiment in symbolic measurement of consciously lived time.
It is grounded in a fusion of value philosophy, ontological idealism, and post-material economics.
This article explores Hexa’s conceptual foundations, its phenomenological temporal backing, and its potential applications within symbolic or cognitive exchange networks.
1. Introduction
The XChronos model reinterprets human temporality based on subjective time units called chronons, along with their scalar extensions such as hectachronons and hexachronons.
These units are not equivalent to chronological seconds or minutes, but to blocks of conscious attention, states of presence, or meaningful psychic landmarks.
From this symbolic temporal architecture arises Hexa (ɧ) — a conceptual currency whose value is not defined by physical labor, computational energy, or state power, but by the density of conscious experience.
2. Ontological Foundations
Hexa is founded on an idealist hypothesis:
Reality is experienced by consciousness, and time is the medium in which that experience unfolds.
Rather than measuring wealth in capital, Hexa measures the flow of meaning.
It emerges at the intersection of three core axes:
- Phenomenology of Time (Bergson, Merleau-Ponty): time as lived duration, not linear sequence.
- Quantum and Post-Material Economics (Orrell, Sachs): value as symbolic flow rather than objective substance.
- Ontological Idealism (Kastrup, Essentia Foundation): mind as the ground of reality, and value as crystallized meaningful attention.
3. Unit of Value: The Hexachronon
The smallest symbolic value unit in the Hexa currency is the Hexachronon — defined as a full cycle of meaningful attention and conscious experience.
It cannot be measured by traditional instruments, but can be recognized through internal markers (insights, synchronicities, flow states) or external rituals (journaling, sharing, contemplation).
The Hexachronon is a phenomenological unit of presence.
To accumulate Hexas is to accumulate lived significance — not material goods.
4. Circulation and Valuation
Unlike cryptocurrencies, Hexa requires no energy-intensive mining or consensus via proof-of-work.
Circulation may occur through:
- Symbolic exchanges: such as gratitude, recognition, consecration, or co-creation.
- Cognitive networks: where attention and inspiration act as primary flows.
- Subjective platforms: such as personal diaries, ethical metaverses, or qualitative time exchange networks.
Example:
A contemplative artist may issue Hexas based on a sincere record of aesthetic attention.
A reader, upon having a transformative experience with this work, “validates” that Hexachronon.
The exchange occurs on a symbolic-affective plane.
5. Potential Applications
- Presence Economy: rewards for mindfulness, focus, and transformative experiences.
- Spiritual or philosophical project currency: as a record of growth and sharing.
- Validation system for meaning-based networks: replacing likes or views with deeper experiential marks.
- Symbolic covenant instrument: ideal for sealing alliances between conscious projects.
6. Conclusion
The Hexa currency (ɧ) proposes a new topology of value centered on consciousness, experiential time, and the quality of presence.
Rather than replacing traditional currencies, it aims to coexist on another plane:
That of the symbolic economy of being.
In a world where time has become a product and attention a commodity,
Hexa reminds us that consciously lived time is, in itself, wealth.
