There are over 8 billion of us on this planet. If you gave one second of your time to every single human being, it would take you over 250 years to meet everyone. Because of this impossible mathematical challenge to go around the planet and individually give away one second of your time to every human being, I'm proposing to focus on goals that we would all benefit from, even if we never have the opportunity to meet one another. It is essential to highlight this because even if we don't have the chance to meet one another, I know you also need the same things everyone else does. The conversations we have together should reflect high-priority issues and thinking. Ultimately, suppose there is anything worth discussing for our species globally. In that case, we should bring it to the front of the classroom.

THE RESET DOCTRINE The Rule-based, Energy-linked, Settlement, Equity & Treasury Retirement Doctrine
PART I — CORE DOCTRINE
I. Objective
Retire sovereign and household debt outstanding as of December 31, 2025, across all participating non-BRICS sovereign currency jurisdictions, without inflation, default, or market disruption, while preserving settlement integrity and converting surplus capacity into productive energy infrastructure required for the AI era. This system is one-time, closed-universe, automatic, and non-discretionary.
II. Levy & Collection
Rate
- •$0.009 per $1 (0.9%)
Assessment Trigger (Sole Trigger)
- •The levy is assessed only at the moment of legal finality, defined as the extinguishment of a claim against a regulated balance sheet.
Public Money Boundary
- •Assessment occurs on settlement across central bank liabilities.
- •Commercial bank settlement finality within recognized systems is deemed equivalent where statutorily defined.
Tax Base
- •Net final cash settlement only.
- •Gross instructions, provisional flows, and internal churn are excluded.
Explicit Exclusions (Immutable)
- •Gross transaction volume
- •Interdealer hedging
- •Repo mechanics and rolls
- •Margin and collateral movements
- •Clearinghouse risk management
- •Central bank liquidity operations
Core Principle Only net ownership change at legal final settlement is assessable. There is a one-to-one correspondence between economic finality and assessment.
III. Settlement Classification (Mandatory)
All assessable settlement events are classified through a mandatory automated validation protocol.
Settlement Classes
| Class | Definition | Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Class I | Real-economy settlement: customer-initiated transfers, payroll, invoices | Full 0.9% |
| Class II | Sovereign settlement: issuance, redemptions, coupons, sovereign collateral operations | Full rate above collateral floors |
| Class III | Interbank funding and liquidity redistribution | Capped / gradient |
| Class IV | Risk management churn: margin calls, repo rolls, collateral substitutions | Exempt |
Functional Rule Any transaction claimed as Class IV must reconcile to a documented risk-management event. Failure to reconcile defaults the transaction upward into Class III.
IV. Class III Gradient Constraint
To preserve wholesale market plumbing, the effective levy on Class III settlement is capped such that:
- •The levy never exceeds intermediation spreads supported by the net settlement.
- •Gradient parameters are published, rule-based, and non-discretionary.
- •Emergency snapback to zero is permitted under defined liquidity stress.
PART II — ANTI-AVOIDANCE & ENFORCEMENT
I. Mandatory Validation Protocol
Each assessable settlement is validated using:
- 1.Settlement message classification
- 2.Settlement account context
- 3.Purpose tagging
- 4.Counterparty identity verification
- 5.Balance-sheet mapping
- 6.Post-settlement balance-sheet delta reconciliation (audit backstop)
Missing or ambiguous data defaults upward to the applicable taxable class without blocking settlement.
II. Participation Criteria (Enforcement)
Compliance is enforced through system participation eligibility, not payment rejection.
Penalty Escalation
- •Level 1: Automatic reclassification and levy correction plus interest
- •Level 2: Loss of Class III gradient eligibility
- •Level 3: Proportional surcharge (bounded multiple) plus mandatory external audit
- •Level 4: Institution-specific suspension of central bank privileges
III. Shadow Rail Rule
Any private or internal netting system that provides legal finality must report and reconcile settlement effects.
Rule
- •Failure to report results in automatic denial of regulatory capital and netting recognition.
- •This denial is non-discretionary.
PART III — STABILITY GUARDRAILS
I. Early Warning & Control
- •Early Warning: Structural avoidance exceeds low single-digit thresholds
- •Throttle: Adjustment limited to Class III gradients only
- •Evaluation: Consideration of full suspension if integrity is compromised
Class I and Class II rates are never adjusted for stability management.
II. Terminal Conditions
Any of the following permanently terminates the system:
- •Inclusion of post-2025 debt
- •Rate increase
- •Taxation of exempt risk-management flows
- •Removal of collateral floors
- •Discretionary allocation of proceeds
PART IV — ALLOCATION & TRANSITION
I. Eligible Debt Universe (Closed)
- •Sovereign principal outstanding as of 12/31/2025
- •Household principal outstanding as of 12/31/2025
The eligible universe is fixed and cannot expand.
II. Baseline Allocation
While any legacy debt remains:
- •33% → Domestic sovereign debt (above floor)
- •33% → Domestic household debt (S-curve governed)
- •33% → Global non-BRICS legacy debt
- •16.5% sovereign principal (above collateral floors)
- •16.5% household principal (S-curve governed)
- •1% → Domestic citizen dividend (always on)
All transitions are automatic and formula-driven.
III. Connected Energy Systems Fund (CESF)
Surplus capacity transitions into a capital-only fund for:
- •Power generation
- •Transmission and interconnection
- •Storage and grid stability
- •Open-access compute and cooling
Prohibitions
- •No equity investments
- •No subsidies
- •No discretionary allocation
FINAL STATEMENT
The RESET Doctrine is a one-time settlement-layer normalization system. It is automatic, auditable, bounded, and irreversible. Its mechanics are technical, not political.
