Cross‑Domain Tax Propagation — RTT Taxes Example

RTT/1 → RTT/2 → RTT/3 · Incentives · Drift · Alignment#

1. Purpose#

This example demonstrates how tax incentives propagate across domains using the RTT framework.
It shows how incentive baselines, depreciation envelopes, drift fields, and alignment surfaces behave as they move through:

• RTT/1 — local/substrate
• RTT/2 — regional/structural
• RTT/3 — global/systemic

2. Scenario Overview#

A tax incentive originates at the state level and must propagate across:

• local jurisdictions
• federal alignment surfaces
• international comparison surfaces
• cross‑domain modules (RRR, IE, GSM)

The example traces how the incentive evolves, decays, and aligns across layers.

3. RTT/1 — Local/Substrate Propagation#

At RTT/1, incentives interact with:

• local compliance substrate
• short‑range propagation vectors
• local depreciation envelopes
• local drift fields

Outputs:

• incentive seed values
• local drift amplitude
• short‑range propagation load

4. RTT/2 — Regional/Structural Propagation#

At RTT/2, incentives propagate across:

• state → state
• state → federal
• regional regulatory overlays

Propagation influences:

• incentive half‑life (IHL)
• drift‑field consolidation
• structural alignment surfaces

Outputs:

• regional propagation vectors
• drift‑field amplification or correction

5. RTT/3 — Global/Systemic Propagation#

At RTT/3, incentives interact with:

• global incentive baselines
• cross‑domain alignment surfaces
• systemic depreciation envelopes
• long‑range drift fields

Outputs:

• systemic propagation surfaces
• global drift behavior
• coherence‑layer alignment

6. Drift Interaction#

6.1 Local Drift (RTT/1)#

Generated by:

• baseline instability
• compliance changes
• local propagation load

6.2 Structural Drift (RTT/2)#

Generated by:

• cross‑jurisdiction propagation
• regional alignment
• structural depreciation

6.3 Systemic Drift (RTT/3)#

Generated by:

• global propagation
• cross‑domain alignment
• coherence‑layer interactions

Drift modeled via:

• incentive_drift_operator
• incentive_half_life_operator

7. Cross‑Module Alignment#

7.1 Taxes ↔ RRR#

• continuity alignment
• revenue propagation
• drift‑field correction

7.2 Taxes ↔ IE#

• cycle inversion
• uplift constraints
• economic half‑life (EHL)

7.3 Taxes ↔ GSM#

• governance coherence
• policy propagation
• civic‑field resonance

8. Worked Example#

Step 1 — Incentive Origin (RTT/1)#

A state introduces a datacenter tax credit.
Local propagation begins immediately.

Step 2 — Structural Propagation (RTT/2)#

Neighboring states adjust incentives.
Regional drift increases.
IHL compresses.

Step 3 — Systemic Propagation (RTT/3)#

Global supply‑chain incentives interact.
Cycle inversion (IE) modifies timing.
Governance drift (GSM) affects stability.

Step 4 — Alignment#

RRR continuity stabilizes revenue.
IE cycle alignment corrects timing drift.
GSM coherence stabilizes propagation.

9. Summary#

RTT/1 → RTT/2 → RTT/3
Incentives → Drift → Half‑Life → Propagation → Alignment

Cross‑domain tax propagation is shaped by:

• incentive baselines
• depreciation envelopes
• drift fields
• propagation vectors
• cross‑module alignment
