Money

Earned by your own capacity — clean. Acquired by exchange that honoured the previous holder — clean. Issued by the structure in step with its real capacity — clean.

Issued past what the structure’s coupling can support — failing at issuance, and the failure travels through every later transaction.

Held at levels the shared coupling can absorb — cooperative. Held past that, locked, exceeding any deployment the structure can produce — parasitic where the contraction lands.

Money is a consequence of the record system, not an invention. Commodity, credit, fiat, digital — one form throughout.
