Sort the noise.
Thesiq is a sorting machine for ideas. Move across the image: you are adding noise. Watch the sort put it back in order.
In the beginning there was the feed.
Every chart, every take, every reply, every confident thread at 3am. Millions of pixels, none in order. You can stare at noise for years and learn nothing from it.
Noise is free. That is the problem with it.

A thesis is a threshold.
Pixel sorting starts with a choice: which pixels are worth sorting. Set the threshold and everything above it moves; everything below stays where it fell.
A thesis is that choice for an idea. A claim sharp enough to be wrong, and the risks that would prove it wrong, written down before anyone buys.

Trades are the comparator.
Once the threshold is set, sorting is mechanical. Two neighbours are compared and swapped if they are out of order, over and over, until the order shows itself.
On the curve, every buy and every sell is a comparison made in public. Nobody decides what the thesis is worth. The sort does.

The image settles.
When the last token on the curve sells, the thesis hits its breakpoint. Its liquidity moves to the open pool at the same price, and the position is locked inside the thesis' own vault.
Nobody can pull it back out. Not the creator, not Thesiq. The image is fixed; now it can only sharpen.

Signal compounds. Supply shrinks.
Every trade after breakpoint pays the pool, and the vault owns the pool. It harvests only what its position earns, then buys the token back in small, careful tranches and burns it.
Fees become a bid. The bid becomes a burn. The burn makes every remaining token a slightly larger share of the conviction.

What remains is the signal.
The claim. The risks. The record of who believed it, and when. Sorted, onchain, readable by anyone.
Noise is free. Conviction costs something. That is the whole idea.

Glossary.
- Noise
- The unsorted feed of takes. Free to produce, impossible to price.
- Threshold
- A thesis: claim, argument, risks, horizon. Fixed at launch.
- Comparator
- Every curve trade. Price discovery done in public.
- Breakpoint
- The curve sells out; liquidity moves to Uniswap V2 and locks in the vault.
- Vault
- One ownerless ledger per thesis. Holds the locked LP and pending ETH.
- Turn
- Harvest LP fee growth, then buy and burn one capped tranche. Anyone can call it.
- Signal
- What survives the sort: a thesis with a record.
