SPECTRE · N : 1 communication
Ranks or aggregates many inputs for one recipient. It is never consensus and never truth.
N : 1
Many sources send candidate inputs to one recipient or one defined output process.
A feed or assistant may select a useful item, model or service for one person from the eligible options among many candidates. The ranking objective should be stated, personalised controls should remain visible, and a selected item should retain its source.
A reducer may combine measurements, reports or predictions into one candidate result. It must name the inputs, missing participants, algorithm version, uncertainty and correction path. A median, average or vote is only as meaningful as its source and rule.
Selection is not aggregation. Aggregation is not ledger consensus. Neither one establishes truth, authorisation or finality by itself. Those properties need separate evidence and governance.
Research must define provenance, duplicate and Sybil handling, uncertainty, disagreement, exposure concentration, user correction and how an outcome changes when an input is later withdrawn.
Research target: no global ranking algorithm or many-to-one settlement rule is claimed.
The relationship shown here is logical: it says who communicates with whom. SPECTRE’s physical routes may cross multiple peers. Permission, retention and ledger agreement keep their own rules.
This page applies SPECTRE’s VMOSK-A delivery direction; it is not a new product charter or evidence of a running service. Specify the interface, replay a bounded interaction and test missing participants, failure and correction before adopting a changed design.
