# 4.1 Cross-Species Governance (CSG) Contract Framework

CSG seeks to balance the weight of carbon-based (emotional and ethical) and silicon-based (logical and efficiency) approaches in governance.

Contract components:

VotingToken.sol: XPULS and YPULS smart contracts with built-in \_delegate and getPriorVotes functions.

TimeLock.sol: The implementation delay mechanism of governance decisions ensures the transparency period of major changes.

GovernorCSG.sol: Core governance contracts, including proposal, voting, queuing, and execution functions.

 

CSG voting power calculation function:

```
Solidity
// GovernorCSG.sol: Calculate the voting power for the final proposal

function getVotes(address account, uint256 blockNumber) public view returns (uint256) {
// 1. Get carbon-based (XPULS) voting rights
    uint256 carbonVotes = XPULS.getPriorVotes(account, blockNumber);
    
// 2. Get YPULS voting rights (requires staking)
    uint256 siliconVotes = YPULS.getPriorVotes(account, blockNumber);
    
// 3. Apply weight factors (carbon-based weight 1.0, silicon-based weight 0.2)
    uint256 weightedSiliconVotes = siliconVotes * 2 / 10; 
    
    return carbonVotes + weightedSiliconVotes;
}
```

The CSG mechanism requires a dual majority: the proposal must secure 66.6% of the total voting weight, and XPULS votes must constitute over 50% of the total votes to ensure carbon-based life ultimately controls the direction of civilization.
