The tGiX™ Algorithm
Quantifying Cognitive Transfer and Human Potential at the Edge of Reality
Abstract
The formal specification of tGiX™ (Telemetry-based Gamified Interaction Index): a non-intrusive, platform-agnostic framework that intercepts high-frequency interaction telemetry and translates it into citable cognitive performance metrics. It defines eight cognitive vectors, resolves them into a single composite score called the Altered Quotient, and specifies the ingestion architecture behind it.
Core Contribution
Turns raw play into a measurable, defensible index of how a person thinks.
Overview
The formal specification of tGiX™ (Telemetry-based Gamified Interaction Index): a non-intrusive, platform-agnostic framework that intercepts high-frequency interaction telemetry and translates it into citable cognitive performance metrics.
Technical Architecture
- The Altered Quotient (0.00 to 100.00): Eight weighted vectors resolving into a single unified composite score measuring cognitive energy and effort rather than simple win/loss outcomes.
- Mathematical Governors: Integrates a logistic growth multiplier, logarithmic streak progression, linear streak decay, and Fibonacci progression spacing.
- The Equalizer: A non-linear stabilising function ensuring single exceptional sessions cannot artificially inflate index reliability.
- Dual-Tier Ingestion: Intercepts static inputs (sessions, articles, XP, streaks) alongside dynamic playback diagnostics (decision velocity, focus ratios, completion duration).
- Metacognitive Layer: Introduces Codename TGX-1, a fine-tuned small language model acting as an automated metacognitive interpreter over interaction telemetry.
