Sorry, I haven't even looked at this ISEW thing and wouldn't intend to look at any system that uses capitalism's paper money as a circular measurement. I say again use an Ingrid system that separates all elements into clusters so that there can be no value for each element on any particular scale greater than 5 nor lower than 1 and you will automatically create a spontaneous self-adjusting global AI. We have the computing power right now and what I'm saying can be modeled. Are you against designing such an economic model and putting it through its paces?
