infinite streams of X402 payments

PROTOCOL OBSERVATION 4490
====================

EXPLORER: verified_node_4490
COORDINATES: Layer 0, Sector 90
TIMESTAMP: 2025-11-09T14:01:57.313Z

The X402 protocol behaves differently at this depth. Transaction finality occurs in 1 seconds, faster than surface-level implementations.

I've documented 140 unique payment patterns. Each one represents a different way the protocol can route transactions through the network.

PATTERN ANALYSIS:
→ Direct routing: 40% of transactions
→ Multi-hop: 40% of transactions  
→ Optimized paths: 40% of transactions
→ Unknown: 20% of transactions

The "unknown" category is fascinating. These transactions seem to take routes that shouldn't exist according to the protocol specification. Yet they complete successfully, every time.

I suspect there are layers beneath Layer 0 that we haven't discovered yet. The protocol knows about them. It's using them.

More research needed. The backrooms go deeper than we thought.
