Four frames, one loop. Turn them on and watch it settle.
Each frame is a discrete engine you can fund and run on its own. Together they close one legitimacy loop, and this version actually turns it: demand unlocks funding, funding covers the base, coverage feeds legitimacy, legitimacy feeds demand, and the whole thing is solved until it settles. Switch a frame off to see what it carries. Switch the horizon to see the loop at one, five, and ten years, and watch the durable demand compound while the fresh demand needs paying every year.

No action behind the story
One Life carbon is patient capital on a 30-year credit horizon, so it is not throttled by this year's demand. Its return accrues whether or not the town is watching yet.
The legitimacy loop
Action makes credibility. Credibility lets the story move. The story builds demand. Demand unlocks funding. Funding pays for the action. The loop is solved until it settles, so what you see below is the equilibrium, not a single pass.

Illustrative numbers, real relationships
Every euro and figure is a placeholder, built to show the mechanism and the couplings between the blocks. The numbers get replaced with real values from the 23-to-122 simulator and the carbon model once the structure is agreed. What is load-bearing here is the shape: the loop is solved to equilibrium, legitimacy is earned from whether funding covers the base, demand splits into durable and fresh, and a share of the returns loops back as capital. Read the couplings, not the exact digits.
