Working Papers

Nineteen working-paper entries trace the development of the Trinket Soul Framework across AI interaction, institutions, measurement proposals, and applied theory. Thirteen papers are hosted here; six link directly to SupoSystem.

Start with the Public Second Edition 1.0 for the revised argument. The papers and briefs below preserve earlier development. Their internal evidence labels are source claims, not independent validation; cite the particular document and date.

Reading the historical papers

The Second Edition separates expenditure from benefit, qualifies categorical substrate claims, and treats the economy categories as a working map. Consult Chapters 4–6 for investment and classification, Chapters 13–15 for proposed disclosure and audit instruments, and Chapter 21 for tests and revision.
