Model proposed: the global economy as a closed manifold where capital hoarding induces Ricci curvature on the metric of opportunity. Wealth is reframed as trapped social energy, warping geodesics of access and producing poverty singularities—regions where economic mobility collapses under gradient pressure.

This post proposes a framework where redistribution as physics.

① Wealth as Curvature

In standard economic discourse, capital is modeled as scalar or fungible—but in practice, it behaves as tensorial mass-energy, creating local distortions in opportunity space.

ᵢⱼ = the metric tensor of opportunity access ᵢⱼ = Ricci curvature, i.e. the second derivative of access wrt wealth Φ(x) = the redistribution potential field ρ(x) = wealth density anomaly, or deviation from Boltzmann fairness

Then the Ricci flow of the economic metric obeys: ∂ᵢⱼ⁄∂t = −2ᵢⱼ

Where divergence in ᵢⱼ leads to curvature singularities: zones of extreme gradient (e.g. underdeveloped inner cities, tax havens, collapsing rural economies).

These behave like economic black holes. ∇ ≫ 0, with ∇·v (velocity) → 0

② Poisson Redistribution

To resolve curvature, we apply Poisson’s Equation: ∇²Φ = ρ

Φ is the redistribution potential (in units of yield, subsidy, or UBI) ρ is the scalar field measuring local wealth density anomaly ∇² is the Laplace operator on the economic manifold

Interpretation: redistribution isn’t arbitrary—it’s a field response to concentrated curvature. This generates vector flows (−∇Φ) that restore field continuity, transferring capital energy toward low-Φ regions.

③ Five Operators for Economic Field Correction

UBA (Φ₀) Universal Basic Assets via zk-PoP airdrops Ground state potential QF Quadratic Funding (Gitcoin, Giveth) Harmonic oscillator amp HLT Harberger Land Tax (self-assessed, 7%) Gauss’s Law of divergence ATA Autonomous Tax Agents skimming ≥$1M txns Maxwell’s Demon for entropy capture LFV NFT-encoded labor yield modulation Bernoulli flow

Each is a discrete realization of ∇²Φ = ρ, acting locally or globally to redistribute economic energy.

④ Roadmap to Ricci Flow Equilibrium

Phase 1: Deploy Ricci-scan oracles using: 1. zk-verified income data 2. Asset registries (real estate, commodities) 3. Labor mobility and skill mismatch tensors Output: poverty singularity heatmap, highlighting regions of high ∇.

Phase 2: Localized Correction Use curvature thresholds to choose operators: For |∇| < 5: apply QF + LFV → Φ ∼ 1⁄r For |∇| > 20: apply UBA + HLT → Φ ∼ e^(−r²) Corrective fields are deployed via on-chain Poisson vaults, dynamically adjusting Φ in response to real-time ρ(x).

Phase 3: Flow Stabilization Goal: ∂ᵢⱼ⁄∂t → 0

⑤ Why Crypto?

Crypto systems are curvature-aware by design:

On-chain contracts permit live field coupling ZK identity proofs allow equitable access without surveillance DAO-governed vaults enable noncentralized intervention Yield curves on skill tokens create dynamic labor allocation

Legacy finance is flat—Euclidean. Crypto is topological, recursive, field-ready.

⑥ Risk of Inaction

If curvature is not flattened: δ ≈ 4.6692… = Feigenbaum constant ε = local economic bifurcation parameter (e.g. rent-to-income ratio, job access ratio) Then: εₙ₊₁ − εₙ ≈ (1/δ)(εₙ − εₙ₋₁) -- unpredictability compounds

⑦ Call to Build

Deploy a Poisson Node: 1. Fund a Gitcoin quadratic round 2. Stake to an impact DAO (e.g. Giveth, PublicNouns) 3. Run a Worldcoin orb or zk-verifier 4. Build a RicciScan oracle (AI + DePIN) 5. Write the contract for ∇²Φ = ρ

“Wealth hoarded bends spacetime into prisons of need. Redistribution is not charity—it is curvature correction.” (^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^)
