Fourth-Dimensional Continent: A Strategic Closed-Loop Digital Civilization Meta-System to Address AI Labor Displacement
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: This project introduces the Fourth-Dimensional Continent (FDC), a strategic, closed-loop digital civilization meta-system designed to address AI-driven labor displacement. Rapid automation is reshaping employment, social trust, and collective well-being, while current digital platforms remain fragmented or commercially controlled. Core Features of FDC: 1. Order Foundation – Sovereign credit stabilizes the digital space and ensures governance-based trust. 2. Value Circulation – Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) enables a virtual-real economic cycle, recognizing digital labor with equivalent value to physical work. 3. Universal Participation – Gamified interfaces allow collaborative creation, rather than competition with AI. 4. Cultural Identity – Rooted in shared cultural heritage, maintaining collective consensus and social cohesion. Impact: FDC provides a systematic framework to mitigate employment imbalance, trust deficits, and social fragmentation. It shifts focus from material production to digital and cultural creation, and serves as an experimental platform for exploring societal structures in future interstellar contexts.
