Island Lab  ·  Pollica  ·  System Model, Version 2

Four frames, one loop. Turn them on and off.

Each frame is a discrete engine you can fund and run on its own. Together they turn one legitimacy cycle. Switch a frame off to see what it contributes, and switch the horizon to see the same system at one, five, and ten years. The base of direct action carries the legitimacy the other frames borrow against, so watch what happens to demand when you run a campaign with no action beneath it.

One Life is patient capital. Its return accrues well beyond this year, so the in-year ratio understates it.

The legitimacy cycle
Action makes credibility. Credibility lets the story move. The story builds demand. Demand brings hands. Hands do more action.

Illustrative numbers Every euro and figure is a placeholder, built to show the mechanism and the relationships between the blocks. They get replaced with real numbers from the 23-to-122 simulator and the carbon model once the structure is agreed. Read the shapes and the flows, not the exact digits.
