This section presents NashMark AI economic models that redefine economic coordination as an equilibrium problem, not a growth or extraction problem. The models demonstrate how decentralised systems can stabilise through mathematically defined coordination, replacing scale, enforcement, and speculative accumulation with structural balance.
These models do not optimise profit.
They model stability, coherence, and surplus under equilibrium conditions.
I. What these economic models examine
| Economic Domain | Model Focus |
|---|---|
| Market Coordination | Nash-based equilibrium behaviour across decentralised agents |
| Extraction & Surplus | Identification of extraction as equilibrium failure, not economic necessity |
| Decentralised Systems | Mathematical coordination without central authority or control layers |
| Systemic Drift | Detection of instability, runaway incentives, and collapse conditions |
| Truth & Signal Integrity | Analysis of how non-equilibrium systems distort information and outcomes |
II. How NMAI economics differs
| Conventional Economic Models | NMAI Economic Models |
|---|---|
| Growth-led optimisation | Equilibrium-led stability |
| Centralised control mechanisms | Decentralised coordination |
| Extraction as success metric | Surplus as equilibrium by-product |
| Incentive escalation | Incentive balance |
| Post-collapse correction | Pre-collapse detection |
Here, markets stabilise because incentives align, not because power enforces them.
III. How to read this section
- Each model applies NashMark equilibrium logic to a specific economic failure mode.
- Simulations and analyses are computable, observable, and reproducible.
- Together, they form a unified economic framework that treats markets as dynamic systems seeking balance, not infinite expansion.
When equilibrium is restored, extraction becomes unnecessary.
