Abstract

This repository contains three interconnected documents presenting a unified theory of economic value and its application to the design of non-alienating monetary systems: General Theory of Value presents the foundational theoretical framework (EVLUV: Elasticity, Velocity, Liquidity, Utility, Value), which analyzes value as a temporal metabolic process rather than a static property. The document traces major civilizational monetary transitions from ancient Lydia to contemporary cryptocurrencies, revealing an invariant pattern: monetary innovation → cognitive crisis → spontaneous adaptation → philosophical formalization → institutional crystallization → dissolution. Particular attention is given to systemic pathologies (wealth concentration, temporal extraction, competitive alienation) and early warning indicators. Non-Alienating Money Protocol mathematically and historically derives a monetary system that resolves seven fundamental problems of existing systems: competitive alienation, limited innovation financing, liquidity fragmentation, underfunding of public goods, absence of a crypto-government market, regulatory ambiguity, and extreme wealth concentration. The protocol is grounded in four natural laws (Odum, Zipf, Boltzmann, Pareto) to construct a dual-phase architecture with universal transmutation, in which individual optimization mathematically equals collective optimization without coercion. Economic Applications of the Golden Ratio (Pentadic Keynesianism) demonstrates how the golden ratio (φ ≈ 1.618) and pi (π ≈ 3.14159) necessarily emerge as equilibrium signatures in healthy economic systems. The document establishes empirically testable laws: optimal investment-to-consumption ratio (φ), natural interest rate (π%), public debt threshold (162% of GDP), and economic cycles (periods that are multiples of π). A pentadic synthesis of Keynesianism resolves historical anomalies (unemployment, stagflation) while integrating ecological sustainability. Major scientific contribution:This trilogy establishes economics as a branch of universal metabolic science, proposes precise falsifiable predictions, and offers practical design principles for economic systems that respect natural thermodynamic, informational, and statistical constraints.
