Capital Evolution (RC-WD)

Cₙ

Definition

The mathematical progression of regenerative capital through cycles. Capital at cycle n equals initial capital times recycling rate to the power (n-1). With high recycling rates, capital persists across multiple government transitions.

Formula

Cₙ = C₀ × Rⁿ⁻¹

Example

$100M initial capital with R=90%: after cycle 1 = $90M, after cycle 2 = $81M, after 10 cycles = $34M still operational. The fund survives multiple political transitions.
