CST in the protocol
Gestures can imprint Participation CST, and CST can also be used as an alternative gesture currency through its own Calibration Window. CST spent on a gesture is burned — permanently removed from supply — rather than pooled.
The Participation CST amount is dynamic: it depends on time since the previous gesture and uses a square-root formula, so long quiet periods produce larger imprints while rapid gestures can produce 0 CST.
CST expresses coordination weight in the Cosmic Council once delegated (holders can delegate to themselves), where participants coordinate protocol changes according to on-chain rules.

CST as protocol context
CST is part of the participation and coordination layer of Cosmic Signature. It can be imprinted through gestures, used for CST gestures, and used to express Coordination Weight in the Cosmic Council. That makes it a protocol token, not an equity claim.
The app describes CST through operational terms because its purpose in the interface is participation, coordination, and protocol state. Public pages should explain where CST appears and what it does without implying price behavior.
Coordination records
The Cosmic Council gives CST holders a way to coordinate protocol changes according to on-chain rules. Coordination Changes and related app pages make the history of parameter changes visible so readers can understand how the protocol evolves.
The Cosmic Council coordinates protocol changes through proposals and delegated CST weight. The terms and risk disclosures explain the limits and responsibilities that apply to participation.
