EXIT Protocol
The EXIT Protocol is the transition strategy that trades the wealth of today’s elites for privileged–but decaying–access to tomorrow’s abundance. Modeled on the Meiji Restoration’s handling of the samurai, it offers Founder Status and life-extension access in exchange for transferring fortunes into Transition Trusts that fund the Foundation Layer.
The protocol is designed to be faster than reform and safer than revolution. Funds build fusion, vertical farms, modular housing, and AI logistics in Free Zones, demonstrating post-scarcity viability while reducing resistance. Founder Merits decay on a 20-year half-life, preventing permanent dynasties; Legacy Stewardship Credits provide ceremonial continuity without power.
It blends game theory (make cooperation more profitable than obstruction) with moral pragmatism, aligning incentives to dismantle scarcity-era power structures peacefully.
