Principia Capitalis Generalis
— Or, "Cleanliness Capital" Dynamics for Human Survival —
Introduction: Escaping the "Idolatry" of the Single Metric
Modern civilization is suffering from a form of "agnosia."
We have become obsessed with a game that hypertrophies only one specific indicator—"Financial Capital"—out of infinite valuable stocks (accumulations), discarding everything else as "negative externalities." This is no longer economic activity; it is "Cult-like Idolatry" worshiping a single metric (GDP) as God.
Money may be the "parent of life," as the old Japanese proverb says, but it is not life itself.
This Principia serves as an Operating System (OS) to maximize the well-being of humanity and the Earth. It redefines all "accumulations of value"—including money—as Capital, and describes their interaction and circulation (Ecology).
Chapter 1: Definitions
Definition 1 [Capital]
Capital is the collective term for "Stock" (accumulation) that possesses the potential to generate value or reduce risk in the future.
(The set of Financial, Social, Somatic, Natural, Cultural, Time Capital, etc.)
Definition 2 [Negative Capital]
Stock that destroys value and increases survival costs over time.
(e.g., Pollution, Trauma, Chronic Fatigue, Hatred, Excessive Dependence, Technical Debt, Disorder.)
Definition 3 [Flow]
The amount of change in capital over a certain period. GDP is merely a fraction of this.
Definition 4 [KIREI (Cleanliness/Order)]
A collective term for "Entropy Control (Order Maintenance)," including (1) Physical cleanliness, (2) Rectification of information, (3) Removal of relational stagnation, and (4) Organization of internal attention. It is the ultimate preservation technology to prevent capital degradation.
Definition 5 [Conversion Loss]
The loss incurred when changing one form of capital into another. Converting nature into money is fast, but restoring money back into nature takes immense time and incurs loss (Irreversibility).
Chapter 2: Axioms
The 10 Principles supporting this theoretical system.
[Fundamental Principles]
Axiom 1 (Plurality): The wealth of the world cannot be described by a single indicator; it consists of multiple capital vectors that are not perfectly interchangeable.
Axiom 2 (Hysteresis): Capital implies time. Accumulation is a function of time; destruction is instantaneous, but regeneration requires time.
Axiom 3 (Internalization): If the increase of one capital (Money) damages another (Nature/Health), it is not "Profit" but "Cannibalism."
[Dynamics Principles]
Axiom 4 (Maintenance): Capital requires maintenance costs. If maintenance (cleaning/care) is neglected, it collapses non-linearly.
Axiom 5 (Subtraction): The act of reducing Negative Capital (cleaning, resting, forgetting) holds equal or greater value than the act of increasing Positive Capital.
Axiom 6 (Redundancy): Maximizing short-term efficiency invites long-term fragility. "Waste" (slack/margin) increases the system's survival probability.
[Governance & Measurement Principles]
Axiom 7 (Commons): Commons Capital (Air, Public Safety, Trust) degrades due to "free-riding" without appropriate governance.
Axiom 8 (Reflexivity): Accounting (measurement indicators) creates reality. What we measure determines the fate of civilization.
Axiom 9 (Agency): Individual subjective involvement is essential for capital maintenance. Forced cleanliness is not sustainable.
Axiom 10 (Non-homogeneity): The attempt to convert everything into monetary terms is an act of violence that destroys the qualitative difference (Dignity) of value.
Chapter 3: Dynamics (The Equations)
The heart of this Principia. "Atmospheric Mathematics" describing the time evolution of capital.
[Fundamental Equation]
$C(t)$: Capital Vector (Current Stock)
$I(t)$: Input (Investment, Learning, Cleaning, Care, Repair, Ritual)
$\delta \odot C(t)$: Depreciation (Natural deterioration due to neglect. Entropy increase)
$L(t)$: Leak (Leakage to exterior, Pollution, Corruption)
$R(t)$: Regeneration (Natural recovery, Relational repair)
[Equation of Negative Capital]
$N(t)$: Negative Capital (Debt, Disease, Filth)
$G(t)$: Generation (Stress, Pollution, Disorder)
$A(t)$: Abatement (Practice of KIREI. Cleaning, Treatment, Reconciliation, Regulation)
Conclusion:
The purpose of civilization is to maximize $C(t)$ (Positive Capital) and minimize $N(t)$ (Negative Capital).
Crucially, $A(t)$ (The act of reducing) is the lowest cost and most certain investment.
Chapter 4: Theorems
Theorem 1 [The Ohtani Paradox]
"Actions that appear economically irrational at first glance (picking up trash, donating) produce the greatest value in the end."
Proof: Cleanliness behaviors act as signals that multiply Mental Capital and Social Capital, eventually forming a "Credit Brand" that surpasses Financial Capital.
Theorem 2 [Compounding Maintenance Theorem]
"Small maintenance (5S) works with compound interest."
Proof: Reducing the depreciation coefficient $\delta$ is easier than increasing Input $I$, and it dramatically improves the remaining capital amount over a long period.
Theorem 3 [Contagion of Negative Capital]
"Filth and malice are contagious."
Proof: As per the Broken Windows Theory, if Negative Capital $N$ is left unattended, the Generation term $G$ begins self-replication. Early Abatement $A$ is mandatory.
Theorem 4 [Goodhart's Curse]
"When a measure becomes a target, capital is faked."
Proof: If only GDP or stock prices are pursued, entities will liquidate future R&D (Knowledge Capital) or employee health (Somatic Capital) to window-dress apparent profits.
Theorem 5 [Resilience via KIREI]
"A clean system is resilient to crises."
Proof: An organized space (Low Entropy state) allows for easy anomaly detection, maximizing response speed (throughput) during emergencies.
Chapter 5: Implementation — KIREI Economics
1. Introducing the Multi-Capital B/S (Balance Sheet)
Visualize the asset status of companies, nations, and individuals as follows:
Assets: Money, Real Estate, Employee Health, Community Trust, Corporate Culture, Natural Environment, History of Technology.
Liabilities: Debt, Pollutants, Employee Fatigue, Organizational Discord, Aging Infrastructure, Technical Debt.
2. Capital Audit Checklist
[ ] Somatic Capital: Is there enough sleep? Are employees exhausted?
[ ] Social Capital: Are there greetings? Is there a relationship of mutual help in trouble?
[ ] Cultural Capital: Is the workplace or home tidy? (Practice of KIREI)
[ ] Negative Capital: Are hidden risks or dissatisfaction (sediment) accumulating?
3. Investment Strategy for the Future
Decide what to "reduce" and what to "leave" not just for ourselves, but for future generations (descendants).
Inheriting not only fertile fields but also clean water, rich soil, and "The Spirit of Self-Cleaning (The OS of KIREI)" is the greatest legacy.
Closing
We must graduate from the myopic "History of Progress" (which is actually the Economics of Ruin) and become "Gardeners" who protect and nurture capital within the eternal timeline stretching from the past (ancestors) to the future (descendants).
Cleaning. Training the body. Accumulating trust.
These are not mundane chores. They are the universal survival strategies for humanity with the highest returns (far beyond a "Ten-bagger").
Money may be the parent of life, but KIREI (Cleanliness) is the Guardian Deity of life.
