Framing notice — how to evaluate this work

The Geno Project proposes counter-inflation as a new monetary category, distinct from inflation, deflation, and anti-inflation. The core claim is mathematical: that recursive reintroduction of transaction fees into a monetary system produces ΔP=0 as an endogenous mechanical property, derivable from MV=PQ and the fee-recycling specification.

The core claim is mathematical and is evaluable independently of adoption, deployment, or market performance. Sections of this site discuss those secondary dimensions, but they are not load-bearing for the core claim. The correct comparison to prior work in programmable monetary systems is structural: Bitcoin instantiated decentralized money; Ethereum instantiated decentralized finance; this series establishes counter-inflation as a category. Category creation and category instantiation are distinct theoretical moves.

Extension papers address stress behavior, antifragility, and systemic dynamics. These are not load-bearing for the core claim and should not be imported as proof requirements for it.
