# DBIS Neural Consensus Engine (NCE)

## Overview

NCE is DBIS' quantum-enhanced neural consensus mechanism used to validate global ledger states, predict optimal settlement paths, and enforce stability through machine intelligence.

## Architecture

### Neural Layers

- **Input Layer:** FX, liquidity, CBDC, commodity, stability inputs
- **Consensus Layer:** Hybrid neural + PQ-consensus algorithm
- **Decision Layer:** Settlement and policy outputs

## Consensus Algorithm

```
consensus_state = neural_vote(
  SCB_signals + AI_forecasts + quantum_signatures
)
```

Settlement confirmed when:
- Neural vote > 97% confidence (configurable threshold)
- PQ-signature threshold met
- State block integrity validated
