Recoverable Continuity as a Structural Constraint on Economic Value, Institutional Trust, and Market Stability
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: This paper develops recoverable continuity as a structural constraint on economic value, institutional trust, and market stability. Building from the principle C² = C, the paper argues that economic systems remain coherent only where identity, obligation, record, enforcement, value-reference, trust, and attribution remain recoverably continuous across time and transformation. The paper applies the continuity framework to institutions, property rights, contracts, firms, money, banking, markets, supply chains, enterprise resilience, capital formation, and economic breakdown. It argues that economic value is preserved not merely through production, exchange, incentives, or institutional performance alone, but through the continuity structures that allow claims, obligations, records, currencies, firms, and markets to remain coherently attributable across change.
