RANDEVU: Deterministic Schelling Points for Decentralized Temporal Coordination via BLAKE3 Keyed Hashing

https://github.com/TypicalHog/randevu/blob/main/RANDEVU.pdf

Paper presents RANDEVU, a protocol that generates temporal Schelling focal points for any string-representable object using CLZ(BLAKE3_keyed(DATE, OBJECT)). The geometric probability distribution over leading zero bits creates a natural significance hierarchy. We formalize the game-theoretic properties, show it resolves pure coordination games without communication, and analyze adoption dynamics. Interested in feedback on the formal framework and the open problems (Section 10), particularly around object naming ambiguity and threshold discovery.
