Core Mechanics and Scoring
Matrix Symmetry Defect uses a 3 by 3 matrix formed by nine fair bits. The reward is calculated by counting unordered off-diagonal position pairs whose bits differ, then multiplying that count by the number of set diagonal bits.
Independent fair switches are revealed in row-major edge or matrix order. The live gross quote is 0.97 times the conditional expected terminal reward, divided by its initial expected reward. This quote may rise or fall during the round. A zero quote ends the round immediately; a positive final quote settles automatically.
Stakes, Modes and Controls
Players select one active stake from 10, 20, 50, or 100. Settings and refill locks become active during play.
- Manual Collection: Available after the first reveal.
- Auto Thresholds: Options are off, 1.2, 2, 3, or 5. These collect the actual full first-crossing quote. If a threshold is unreachable, the system waits for the terminal result.
The 3% opening deduction appears only once in the quote. Every policy using only revealed information has a 97% expected gross return.
Payout and Settlement Rules
The actual payout math and every mode are recorded in the source-bound mathematical evidence. Displayed multipliers represent gross coin returns, not profit.

Simulation measurements are supporting sample observations, not the mathematical payout law. Fractional carry persists through settlement, manual refill, and reload.
Wallet and Persistence
The demo wallet has an initial balance of 1000. An idle balance below 10 may be manually restored to exactly 1000, with fractional change preserved. This is a manual idle-only restoration, not an automatic replenishment or deposit.
- Unfinished Rounds: Reload does not refund an unfinished round. An unfinished round ends without resume.
- Settled Balance: Local settled balance including zero persists in localStorage.
- Busy State: Stake, mode, and refill are locked during active play.
Privacy and Storage
Game source uses localStorage for settled balance and fractional carry; this does not establish anonymity or exclude other processing. The template declares a Google Fonts stylesheet; actual full-site network capture remains pending. The absence of account or payment controls in the demo does not prove that no personal data are processed.
Responsible Use and Audience
18+ is this guide's own intended audience policy, not a universal legal age or implemented age gate. This demo does not clinically train behaviour or make losses safe. Virtual coins have no cash value. Use optional pauses or set personal virtual-coin limits as needed.
Frequently asked questions
How is the reward calculated in Matrix Symmetry Defect?
The reward counts unordered off-diagonal position pairs whose bits differ, multiplied by the number of set diagonal bits in the 3x3 matrix.
What happens if I reload the page during a round?
An unfinished round ends without refund or resume. Only settled balances persist.
How does the auto-collect feature work?
Auto thresholds (1.2, 2, 3, or 5) collect the actual full first-crossing quote. If the threshold is unreachable, it waits for the terminal result. A zero quote ends the round immediately.
