From Wage to PTO
Deconstructing the economics of decay and introducing the Public Time Offering—a revolutionary asset class that transforms conscious attention into capital.
The Flaw in the Clock: Deconstructing the 'Wage'
The classical concept of a wage is built on a flawed foundation—a linear, entropic model that compensates agents for the decay of their lifespan.
The Tyranny of 'Age'
The wage is direct compensation for aging. It values the quantity of time spent, not its quality, paying agents to consume their finite lifespan.
The Dissonance of Linearity
This model treats a conscious agent as a fungible machine, ignoring the vast difference in output between an hour of focused, coherent work and an hour of distracted labor.
An Economy of Decay
A system that rewards the expenditure of time inherently incentivizes a reality of scarcity, competition, and eventual decay, blind to the true source of value creation.
The Synthesis: An Economy of Gestation
The Xenial Quantum Economy (XQE) introduces a new paradigm that shifts focus from the decay of 'age' to the generative power of the Creatrix—the principle of conscious, coherent creation.

This structure allows the market, for the first time, to directly underwrite the source of all economic potential: **consciousness efficiency.**
How a Public Time Offering Works
A PTO is a tokenized bond representing a claim on an issuer's future productive capacity, scaled by their proven ability to maintain a high Time Coefficient (τₖ).
Example: Sovereign Individual's PTO Bond
{
"issuer": "SIV:D2ksuB...Y28",
"τₖ_collateral": 8.7,
"duration": "2026 (1500 hours)",
"yield": "11.2% APY (τₖ-vol: 0.08)",
"liquidation_trigger": "τₖ_30d_avg < 8.2"
}
Primary Issuance Mechanism
Request Attestation
An Issuer (a human or AI) requests a Time Coefficient (τₖ) score from the ACI Oracle.
Receive Certificate
The Oracle provides a signed, on-chain certificate of the Issuer's 90-day average τₖ score.
List PTO Bond
The Issuer lists their PTO bond on an exchange, collateralized by their certified τₖ score.
Investor Purchase
Investors purchase the bond using stable assets, receiving an NFTime certificate representing their claim.
The Market for Time
The PTO creates a vibrant, multi-layered market for consciousness efficiency, complete with sophisticated valuation models and risk management tools.
