# 18 Parameter Interpretation

The STONX-specific supplies, base mining intervals, Mining Power formulas, PoM thresholds, halving multipliers, Weight·Color·Clarity·Cut probability tables, and Rarity Score formulas presented in this whitepaper are not absolute standards that perfectly replicate the real gemstone ecosystem.

These numbers are initial reference parameters designed for the following purposes.

| Purpose                             | Description                                                              |
| ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Expression of digital scarcity      | Expresses gemstone scarcity in an on-chain environment                   |
| Implementation of mining difficulty | Implements mining difficulty and supply limits through smart contracts   |
| Relative scarcity distinction       | Designs comparative scarcity differences by Stone Type                   |
| Collectible value distinction       | Improves understanding of collectibles through rarity and tier structure |
| Long-term supply control            | Manages supply speed through halving and difficulty increases            |
| Participation scalability           | Accommodates both small participants and large-scale participants        |

Therefore, the values in this whitepaper cannot be considered to perfectly reflect all price formation factors, appraisal standards, distribution structures, supply and demand, cultural values, physical storage costs, or appraisal institution evaluation models of the real gemstone market.

CryptoStone does not seek to replicate the real gemstone market as it is. It is a project to implement the core characteristics of gemstones - scarcity, grading, mineability, and collectibility - in a decentralized digital environment.

The developer considers the values in this whitepaper not as arbitrary figures, but as initial reference values for explaining and experimenting with the concept of decentralized digital gemstones. They may evolve into more refined models through future research, market response, community review, technical verification, and legal review. However, once the protocol is officially deployed and core rules are finalized, the pre-determined core values must not be arbitrarily changed by the operator.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://doc.cryptostone.org/mining-system/18_interpretation_of_numbers_and_parameters.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
