Energy, Entropy, and the Laws of Value. Understand that thermodynamics governs not just physics, but also economics, institutions, and money itself.
Understand that value, like energy, cannot be created from nothing. It must come from work. Use the Energy-to-Value Converter to see what happens when money creation is decoupled from productive work.
Start Module 1 →Discover why everything decays without constant energy input — including institutions, currencies, and trust. Watch the Institutional Decay Simulator demonstrate why corruption is thermodynamic default.
Start Module 2 →Understand that rules either constrain power or enable it. Without enforcement mechanisms, rules become suggestions. Compare code-enforced vs. discretion-based systems.
Start Module 3 →Stage 2 explores incentives, cooperation, and the tragedy of the commons.
