Three works that sit beneath the domain structure rather than inside it. Two are independent prior research in value theory and monetary classification, written without reference to any particular instrument. The third applies those results to the Counter-Inflation Currency.
A Formal Definition, Source Taxonomy, and Theory of Institutional Objects
Defines intrinsic value as the reservation price under a counterfactual that closes off speculative resale while preserving primary function, and derives a four-source taxonomy — Desirability, Utility, Necessity, Enforceability. Establishes the generativity theorem for objects whose physical features are null.
Enforcement, Predictability, and the Limits of Monetary Faith
Separates money from currency as distinct categories, and holds that currency requires two conditions simultaneously and continuously: enforceable use and predictable guaranteed value. Tested against gold, bills of exchange, camp economies, hawala, fiat, and Bitcoin.
An Application of the Generativity Theorem to the Counter-Inflation Currency
Applies the generativity theorem to CIC: classifies it as a null-physical-features object, identifies its enforceability mechanism, and shows the full D.U.N.E. profile bootstrapping from that mechanism. Contrasts the bootstrap against fiat, Bitcoin, and stablecoins.
