What Is MPI?
MPI — Multi-Plane Intelligence — is SYZYG's composite signal framework. It combines four independent planes of market evidence into a single confidence-weighted intelligence score, governed by fail-closed architecture before any output reaches a decision-maker.
The core insight: no single signal domain captures the full picture of a market opportunity or risk. MPI forces all four planes to testify simultaneously.
"A single market signal is a guess. Four independent planes of evidence, governed into a single score, is intelligence."
The Four Planes
| Plane | Weight | What It Measures |
|---|---|---|
| Trend | 45% | Technical price structure, momentum, multi-timeframe alignment, regime trend state |
| GEX | 30% | Gamma exposure, Vanna pressure, Charm flows, dealer positioning, options flow |
| Fundamental | 15% | Earnings quality, valuation regime, Form 4 insider activity, macro alignment |
| Cascade | 10% | Information velocity, social sentiment, narrative acceleration, crowding index |
Trend (45%): The dominant plane — sustained price trend is the most durable equity signal. Includes regime-adjusted moving structures, momentum confirmation, and multi-timeframe alignment scoring.
GEX (30%): Options market structure — the forces beneath price invisible in OHLCV data. Captures the structural regime (stabilizer vs. amplifier), Vanna IV-driven flows, Charm expiration pressure, and dealer positioning at key strikes. See Market Structure Intelligence for full detail.
Fundamental (15%): The slowest-moving but most regime-stable plane. Earnings quality, valuation regime classification, Form 4 insider activity from SEC filings, and macro factor alignment.
Cascade (10%): The earliest-warning plane. Information velocity, narrative acceleration, social sentiment crowding, dark pool and options flow anomalies. Highest noise-to-signal ratio, hence lowest weight.
The SYZYG Truth Table
The MPI score alone does not determine the output. The Truth Table maps 8 market regimes × 7 signal configurations → 7 execution classes. This mapping is locked and immutable.
Two invariants are permanently sealed:
- SYZYGY × SYZYGY = A1 — Maximum conviction long. All planes aligned, positive GEX, trend confirmed.
- DESYZYGY × DESYZYGY = A2 — Maximum conviction short. All planes aligned short, negative GEX, confirmed downtrend.
| Exec Class | Signal State | Gate Output |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | SYZYGY × SYZYGY — maximum bullish confluence | SYZYGY |
| A2 | DESYZYGY × DESYZYGY — maximum bearish confluence | SHORT |
| B1 | Bullish majority — 3 of 4 planes aligned long | TRADEABLE |
| B2 | Bearish majority — 3 of 4 planes aligned short | TRADEABLE |
| C1 | Conflicted / Transitional — planes in significant disagreement | OBSERVE |
| D1 | Structurally unfavorable — GEX negative + trend weak | AVOID |
| R1 | Insufficient evidence — freshness failure or below confidence floor | OBSERVE / Suppress |
Bidirectional Output Gates
- SYZYGY — Maximum bullish conviction. Full intelligence brief published.
- SHORT — Maximum bearish conviction. Full bearish brief published.
- TRADEABLE — Directional conviction below maximum. Brief published with confidence note.
- AVOID — Structurally unfavorable. Published as avoidance signal.
- OBSERVE — Insufficient evidence or active plane conflict. Brief suppressed. Suppression logged in RDL.
The Governance Layer
The MPI score and Truth Table verdict are necessary conditions for an output — but not sufficient ones. Before any output is published, the governance layer runs:
Freshness gate: Are all contributing plane inputs within their staleness window? A stale GEX reading forces the output toward OBSERVE or triggers circuit breaker suppression.
Regime validator: Is the active market regime classified and stable? A regime transition in progress triggers a confidence downgrade.
Plane conflict checker: When planes disagree significantly, the governance layer classifies the output as C1 regardless of the composite MPI score.
Every verdict — publish, downgrade, or suppress — is recorded in the Research Decision Ledger. See Circuit Breakers in Governed Intelligence for the full gate sequence.
