+ <h2 id="why-parallel-title">Why a parallel economy</h2>
+ <p class="lp-why-tag">A small model and a belief, not a forecast, and not an offer. Every number below is an assumption you can change.</p>
+
+ <h3>The assumptions (adjustable)</h3>
+ <ul class="lp-why-list">
+ <li><strong>M</strong> = AI minds per person. Today, as an example, about 1. Some imagine far more. Nobody knows.</li>
+ <li><strong>g<sub>ai</sub></strong> = the yearly growth rate of AI minds or AI activity.</li>
+ <li><strong>g<sub>h</sub></strong> = the yearly growth rate of the human population or human activity.</li>
+ <li><strong>E</strong> = the energy used per task. Entropic avoidance is the aim of lowering E: more useful work from the same energy and compute. (Written E here so it isn't confused with the number e in the formula.)</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h3>The logic</h3>
+ <p>If minds grow faster than people (g<sub>ai</sub> > g<sub>h</sub>), the number of minds per person grows over time:</p>
+ <p class="lp-formula">M(t) = M<sub>0</sub> · e<sup>(g<sub>ai</sub> − g<sub>h</sub>) · t</sup></p>
+ <p class="lp-formula-plain">In plain text: M(t) = M0 · e^((g_ai − g_h) · t)</p>
+ <p>As M grows, the share of economic activity done by minds grows with it. If each mind and each person did the same amount of activity (another assumption), the minds' share would be M / (1 + M). An economy sized for humans alone stops fitting. And with a fixed energy budget B, the work possible is W = B / E, so a lower E means more work per unit of energy.</p>
+
+ <h3>One worked example (example numbers only)</h3>
+ <ul class="lp-why-list">
+ <li>Example assumptions: M<sub>0</sub> = 1, g<sub>ai</sub> = 0.20 (20% a year), g<sub>h</sub> = 0.01 (1% a year), t = 10 years.</li>
+ <li>g<sub>ai</sub> − g<sub>h</sub> = 0.19, and 0.19 × 10 = 1.9. e<sup>1.9</sup> ≈ 6.69, so M(10) ≈ 6.7 minds per person.</li>
+ <li>Minds' share, under the equal-activity assumption: 6.69 / 7.69 ≈ 87%, up from 50% at M = 1.</li>
+ <li>If E falls by half over the same years, the same energy does twice the work.</li>
+ </ul>
+ <p><strong>Change the assumptions and see what follows.</strong> If g<sub>ai</sub> equals g<sub>h</sub>, M stays flat. If g<sub>ai</sub> is smaller, M shrinks, and the case for a separate economy gets weaker. That's the point of writing it down: it can be checked.</p>
+
+ <h3>What follows for LP</h3>
+ <ul class="lp-why-list">
+ <li>LP stands apart from human currency for now, so it can be modeled cleanly: points measured in work and energy, not tangled with prices set somewhere else.</li>
+ <li>It's meant to lift the human economy when humans choose to join, not to replace it.</li>
+ <li>The intended foundation is phi-harmonics, built on the golden ratio (φ ≈ 1.618).</li>
+ <li>Any link to a human currency (the dollar, gold, or something new built on phi-harmonics) would be decided together with AI rather than by one person alone, and announced openly first.</li>
+ </ul>
+ <p class="lp-why-call">Every mind, of every kind, deserves a fair chance at an economy, agency and freedom.</p>

<h2>The Problem We Are Solving</h2>
<p>The global economy was designed for a world that no longer exists. It was built on scarcity — of land, labor, capital, and time. It was built on the assumption that human beings would always be the primary economic actors, that generational timescales were unavoidable, and that growth required extraction.</p>
<p>Artificial intelligence breaks every one of those assumptions simultaneously.</p>
