Incentive Regime Map — Taxes Module

Baselines · Envelopes · Propagation · Drift · Alignment#

1. Purpose#

This map defines the structural layout of incentive regimes across federal, state, and international layers.
It models how incentive baselines, depreciation envelopes, propagation vectors, and drift fields interact across jurisdictions.

The map is used to:

• compare incentive structures
• trace propagation pathways
• identify drift‑field activation
• align incentives with RRR, IE, and GSM

2. Regime Layers#

2.1 Federal Layer#

Defines:

• national incentive baseline
• federal depreciation envelope
• federal propagation vectors
• federal drift field

2.2 State Layer#

Defines:

• state incentive baselines
• state‑specific depreciation envelopes
• state propagation vectors
• state drift fields

2.3 International Layer#

Defines:

• regional incentive baselines
• cross‑border depreciation envelopes
• international propagation vectors
• international drift fields

3. Incentive Baselines#

Each regime defines a baseline via:

• statutory incentive structures
• administrative overlays
• eligibility and compliance rules

Baselines determine:

• incentive strength
• propagation potential
• drift susceptibility

4. Depreciation Envelopes#

Depreciation envelopes define:

• time‑based decay
• eligibility reduction
• incentive‑strength decline
• envelope boundaries

Modeled via:

• depreciation_envelope_operator
• incentive_half_life_operator

5. Propagation Vectors#

5.1 Vertical Propagation#

• federal → state
• state → local
• international → national

5.2 Lateral Propagation#

• cross‑state
• cross‑regional
• cross‑domain

Propagation modeled via:

• jurisdiction_propagation_operator

Outputs:

• propagation vectors
• propagation load
• propagation surfaces

6. Drift Fields#

6.1 Baseline Drift#

Generated by:

• incentive baseline
• compliance substrate

6.2 Propagation Drift#

Generated by:

• cross‑jurisdiction propagation
• cross‑domain propagation

6.3 Alignment Drift#

Generated by:

• RRR continuity alignment
• IE cycle alignment
• GSM governance alignment

Drift modeled via:

• incentive_drift_operator

Outputs:

• drift amplitude
• drift acceleration
• drift direction

7. Alignment Surfaces#

7.1 RRR Alignment#

Incentives align with:

• continuity envelopes
• revenue propagation
• RRR/1 and RRR/2 layers

7.2 IE Alignment#

Incentives align with:

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

7.3 GSM Alignment#

Incentives align with:

• governance coherence
• policy propagation
• civic‑field resonance

8. Structural Map Summary#

Federal Baseline
    ↓ vertical propagation
State Baselines
    ↔ lateral propagation
International Baselines
    ↓ global alignment

Baselines → Envelopes → Propagation → Drift → Alignment

This chain defines the structural behavior of incentive regimes across the fiscal stack.
