Domain I: Collapse Foundations
Before the first coin was minted, before the first trade was made, there was the void—pregnant with infinite possibility. From this void, consciousness collapsed the first distinction: mine and yours, have and want, value and worthlessness.
The Genesis of Economy
In this foundational domain, we trace money back to its origin—not in metal or barter, but in consciousness itself. Through eight chapters, we'll discover how the simple act of observation creates value, how possibility collapses into currency, and why every economic system is ultimately a reality-selection mechanism.
Chapters in This Domain
Chapter 1: The Void of Money: Collapse Before Currency
Journey to the economic void—the state before value existed, where all possibilities remained uncollapsed.
Chapter 2: ψ = ψ(ψ): The Self-Referential Genesis of Money
Discover how money emerges from consciousness observing its own observations, creating value from pure recursion.
Chapter 3: Collapse Tokens: Why Money Is Not a Thing
Understand why currency is process, not product—the frozen traces of reality selection.
Chapter 4: RealityShell as Pruned by Value
See how economic systems prune infinite possibility into finite reality through value assignments.
Chapter 5: Entropic Value: Money as Path Selection Energy
Learn why money functions as the energy required to choose one future over others.
Chapter 6: Collapse Consensus: The Collective Imagination of Value
Explore how shared belief creates stable currencies through collective reality selection.
Chapter 7: The Multi-Mapping of Money: Symbol, Agent, Field
Discover money's triple nature as symbolic representation, active agent, and morphogenetic field.
Chapter 8: Real vs Fake: Can Money Lose Its ψ-Core?
Investigate whether currency can become disconnected from consciousness—and what happens when it does.
The First Echo
Money begins not with things but with thoughts—specifically, with consciousness recognizing itself as both observer and observed. From this primal recursion springs the possibility of value, exchange, and economy. These eight chapters lay the foundation for understanding all economic phenomena as variations on the theme of consciousness collapsing its own infinite potential into finite forms.
