Dynamic Corridor Pricing
1. ABSTRACT
Explores pricing corridor usage based on real-time compression likelihood, so that obligations routed through corridors with poor netting prospects reflect their higher expected capital displacement cost.
2. MOTIVATION
Not all corridors compress equally well. A corridor with dense bidirectional traffic imposes near-zero marginal capital displacement cost; a thin, one-directional corridor imposes close to full notional cost. Static pricing does not reflect this difference.
3. TERMINOLOGY
Expected CDR — a corridor-level Capital Displacement Ratio forecast computed from trailing epoch history.
4. SPECIFICATION
Draft proposal: attach a corridor-level expected CDR (see NIL-R02) computed from trailing epoch history, and expose it to intent submitters prior to compilation as an advisory cost signal. No binding fee mechanism is specified at this stage.
5. INVARIANTS
Draft — the exposed CDR signal is advisory only; no binding fee mechanism is specified at this stage.
6. FAILURE CONDITIONS
Overly granular CDR disclosure risks allowing inference about aggregate obligation flow between two domains; disclosure granularity remains unresolved.
7. SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
Exposing historical corridor CDR could allow inference about aggregate obligation flow between two domains. Disclosure granularity is an open question for this proposal to resolve before advancing to ACTIVE.
8. REFERENCE IMPLEMENTATION
The reference implementation is the NIL-0 simulation network. No production implementation of this proposal exists; behavior described here is normative for the simulation only.
