HIVI: The 2-Minute Version
The Problem
Every economy in the world is built on speculation — guessing what things will be worth tomorrow.
Stock markets: “What will this company earn?”
Crypto: “What will demand be?”
Real estate: “What will someone pay?”
When guesses are wrong, value evaporates. Savings disappear. Economies crash.
The Question
What if an economy was built on facts instead of guesses?
The Answer: HIVI
Historical Influence Value Index — value anchored to what already happened.
The Core Insight
Every transaction is a “vote” on value:
- You buy gas → you vote on wheat prices in Illinois
- Esmerelda buys feed → she votes on fuel prices in your town
- Trillions of votes per day → too complex to track
But: Forex aggregates all votes into a single number per currency pair.
We don’t track the votes. We just read the final tally.
The Mechanism
- Capture Forex rate at transaction time (one-time, not continuous)
- Differential absorbs currency disparities (Three-Gear: Credits, Marks, Joules)
- Ratchet ensures value only goes up, never down
Why It Works
Completed work cannot un-happen.
If you built a house, that labor was real. External demand can fluctuate. The house still exists.
Traditional economies allow value destruction. HIVI doesn’t.
The Formula
Every purchase = a vote on value
All votes = aggregated into Forex
Forex = end number (the only one we need)
LB Differential = absorbs/levels the rate
Ratchet = locks value, only moves forward
The Bottom Line
| Traditional | HIVI |
|---|---|
| Speculation | History |
| “What might happen” | “What already happened” |
| Can evaporate | Cannot un-happen |
Speculation is a guess. History is a fact.
We built an economy on facts.
