CP3 — Layer 06 · Compounding
Capital & Compounding Dynamics. Momentum, measured.
Layer 01 — What it tracks
The curve behind the curve.
Two equity curves can look identical while one is accelerating and the other is stalling. This layer measures the difference.
- Equity Peak High tracking and recovery mapping
- Growth-rate and ACCEL layers across rolling windows
- Friction accounting — what fees and giveback cost the curve
Layer 02 — The monthly read
Accelerating, stagnating, or deteriorating?
The monthly cadence asks one question of this layer: is capital accelerating, stagnating, or deteriorating? Growth that flattens while EV stays positive usually means friction, drawdown damage, or deployment inefficiency is eating the compounding — and each of those has its own repair path inside MARS.
How MARS uses this
Every proposed rule change - stop policy, branch weights, fee model - is cloned into a scenario profile and resampled against the same evidence. The grid renders the trade-offs, and only profiles whose edge survives without deepening the P10 tail earn candidate status for live promotion.
How it benefits you
System changes stop being vibes-based. The tempting tweak that costs 0.07R of expectancy for a modest drawdown saving gets rejected by arithmetic before it silently taxes six months of trading - and promising candidates carry their evidence with them into review.

Layer 03 — Position in CP3
Where small edges prove they're compounding.
ACCEL from this layer is one of the five metrics the Structural Diagnostic Engine pipelines diagnose, and Equity Acceleration is the fifth metric of the site-wide hierarchy. Small edges, compounded, are the whole point — this is the layer that verifies the compounding is real.
Layer 04 — Momentum versus level
The dashboard reads the derivative, not just the balance.
Capital dynamics tracks growth rate, acceleration, and compounding efficiency rather than celebrating the account level. A balance can sit at all-time highs while its growth decelerates for a quarter — the level flatters, the derivative warns, and this panel is where the warning shows up first.

Operator briefs on this territory.
Deep dive — 01
Equity up is one reading. Capital quality is another. They disagree routinely.
Positive equity growth with worsening drawdown quality is not clean compounding.

Deep dive — 02
Flat capital with positive expectancy is a diagnosis with three suspects.
Positive expectancy, flat curve. Friction, drawdown damage, or deployment inefficiency — and they look different.

Deep dive — 03
The milestone rail measures adjusted equity, because a withdrawal is not a loss.
Withdrawals move the balance without moving performance. The rail reads adjusted equity for that reason.
