Triples
With discrete units of data established through Atoms, defining relationships between these units to form higher-order structures is essential. Intuition achieves this by employing Semantic Triples, ensuring a uniform and discrete structure that can be prescribed a decentralized identifier and have some associated agent-centric state.
Key Purpose
This structure is essential for achieving consensus on arbitrarily sophisticated and expressive forms of data.
Triple Structure
Triples consist of three elements: Subject, Predicate, and Object, with each element represented as an Atom. This Subject-Predicate-Object format allows users to clearly and explicitly define relationships between Atoms.
Subject
The entity or concept being described in the relationship.
Predicate
The relationship or attribute that connects the subject to the object.
Object
The value or characteristic attributed to the subject through the predicate.
These connections can be visualized as a graph where each node and edge is an Atom.
Example Triple
Simple Triple Example
Subject
"Bob"
Predicate
"age"
Object
"34"
In this example, each component—Subject, Predicate, and Object is an Atom, and the Triple expresses a specific relationship between these Atoms.
Fractal Data Representations
Triples offer a flexible yet structured method for representing data relationships. By allowing Triples to act as Atoms within other Triples, Intuition facilitates the expression, storage, and usage of arbitrarily complex data models that can scale and evolve over time.
Key Benefits
Flexibility
This flexibility is crucial for capturing intricate relationships and dynamics within data.
Scalability
Enabling users to construct sophisticated applications and services on the Intuition framework.
Precision
This approach maintains discrete, referenceable units for data at every layer of the structure.

Triple Ownership and Token Curated Registries
Akin to the process outlined for Atoms, the structure of Triples allows users to gain fractional ownership of Triples through interaction. Each interaction generates interaction fees, which are distributed to the owners of each respective Triple, creating an incentivized Token Curated Registry (TCR) for data structures.
TCR Advantages
Economic Rewards
The TCR encourages system participants to adopt common ways of structuring data by offering economic rewards.
Organic Structuring
This approach promotes an organic, incentive-driven structuring of data.
Effective Standardization
Contrasts with more rigid and traditional methods such as standards committees, which often struggle to achieve effective standardization.
