Capital Phase Space

Definition

A two-dimensional mapping of capital types by extraction rate (how much value is extracted from beneficiaries) and time horizon (how long capital persists). The four quadrants define debt, equity, grants, and regenerative capital.

Example

Debt sits at high extraction/short horizon. Grants sit at low extraction/short horizon (depletes). Regenerative capital occupies the optimal quadrant: low extraction/long horizon.
