Economic & Resource System

• Labor
• Care
• Knowledge
• Stewardship

• Commons vs private
• Internal exchange
• External income interface

• Transparency rules
• Spending authority
• Reserves & risk

• Internal Economy Protocol (Defines how contributions are recognized and exchanged; non-monetary or token-based, but must be explicit)
  • What counts as contribution
  • How contributions are logged or acknowledged
  • Internal units (time credits, EcoTokens, points)
  • Commons vs private boundaries
  • Limits on accumulation
• Treasury Ruleset (Defines how shared resources are held and spent; “community financial law”)
  • Income sources
  • Spending authority by amount
  • Transparency requirements
  • Reserve policies
  • Risk and debt limits

• INV-3.1 · Economic transparency by default Shared resources, flows, and obligations must be visible to the community (with limited, explicit exceptions).
• INV-3.2 · Commons protection Resources declared as commons cannot be privatized through informal or unilateral action.
• INV-3.3 · Contribution recognition is explicit Unpaid or invisible labor must not be structurally required for system survival.
• INV-3.4 · No unbounded accumulation of internal power Economic mechanisms must prevent indefinite concentration of internal influence.

MUST be explicit

• What is common vs private
• How shared resources are allocated
• Spending authority limits
• Transparency rules
• External income interface

Why: money + ambiguity destroys trust faster than conflict.

MAY be explicit

• Contribution valuation models
• Internal units (tokens, hours, points)
• Budget categories

MUST remain optional

• Attitudes toward wealth
• Equal vs differentiated outcomes
• Personal financial choices
