Taxes ↔ IE ↔ GSM — Cross‑Module Integration Map

Cycles · Incentives · Governance · Drift · Propagation#

1. Purpose#

This file defines the tri‑module integration surface linking:

• Taxes (incentive regimes)
• IE (cycle inversion, uplift constraints, economic half‑life)
• GSM (governance coherence, policy propagation, civic‑field resonance)

The integration map models how incentives, cycles, and governance interact across RTT/1 → RTT/2 → RTT/3.

2. Module Roles#

2.1 Taxes (Incentive Substrate)#

Defines:

• incentive baselines
• depreciation envelopes
• drift fields
• incentive half‑life (IHL)

2.2 IE (Cycle Substrate)#

Defines:

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

2.3 GSM (Governance Substrate)#

Defines:

• governance coherence
• policy propagation
• civic‑field resonance
• governance drift

3. Alignment Axes#

3.1 Incentives ↔ Cycles (Taxes ↔ IE)#

Alignment occurs when:

incentive_envelope ≈ cycle_phase_envelope

3.2 Cycles ↔ Governance (IE ↔ GSM)#

Alignment occurs when:

cycle_phase ≈ governance_phase

3.3 Incentives ↔ Governance (Taxes ↔ GSM)#

Alignment occurs when:

incentive_stability ≈ governance_coherence

5. Propagation Behavior#

5.1 Taxes → IE#

Incentives influence:

• cycle stability
• cycle drift
• uplift constraints

5.2 IE → GSM#

Cycles influence:

• governance coherence
• policy propagation
• civic‑field resonance

5.3 GSM → Taxes#

Governance influences:

• incentive stability
• incentive drift
• incentive propagation

Propagation modeled via:

• jurisdiction_propagation_operator
• incentive_drift_operator
• cycle_drift_operator
• governance_drift_operator

6. Drift Interaction#

6.1 Incentive Drift → Cycle Drift#

High incentive drift causes:

• cycle compression
• cycle instability
• EHL reduction

6.2 Cycle Drift → Governance Drift#

High cycle drift causes:

• governance misalignment
• policy propagation distortion
• civic‑field instability

6.3 Governance Drift → Incentive Drift#

High governance drift causes:

• incentive envelope distortion
• IHL compression
• propagation‑induced drift

7. RTT Layer Integration#

RTT/1 — Local/Substrate#

• direct incentive‑cycle‑governance interaction
• short‑range drift fields

RTT/2 — Regional/Structural#

• structural alignment
• cross‑jurisdiction propagation

RTT/3 — Global/Systemic#

• systemic alignment
• coherence‑layer propagation

8. Integration Summary#

Taxes → Incentives → Drift → IHL
        ↘
          IE → Cycles → Drift → EHL
                ↘
                  GSM → Governance → Drift → Coherence

The tri‑module alignment ensures:

• fiscal‑cycle‑governance coherence
• stable propagation
• bounded drift
