REA Framework

Explore how the four structural invariants (R, γ, Δ, Λ) combine to create regenerative capital systems. Adjust parameters to see how they affect long-term capital behaviour.

Capital Compounding: Regenerative vs Traditional

Capital follows C_n = C₀Rⁿ⁻¹ and declines; γ weights the system value each deployed dollar generates, so value compounds while the pool runs down

Key Insights from REA

A closed pool depletes at any R < 1 — R sets how slowly. Holding the level takes (1 − R) of replenishment each cycle
γ > 1.0 means each deployment creates more value than the capital itself
High Δ protects the system from political and market volatility
High Λ ensures capital arrives when beneficiaries can use it effectively
