The PUT Monolith (v2)

🚀 What is PUT-Monolith-v2?

PUT-Monolith-v2 is the machine-readable specification of the Public Usage Tax (PUT) — a complete alternative to income, payroll, and corporate taxation. This compact file encodes the entire fiscal architecture: tiers, footprint logic, stabilization funds, invariants, guardrails, and dynamic recalibration rules. The Monolith allows any AI model to reason consistently about PUT as a full-stack national tax system.

The Monolith is designed to be:

• AI-ingestible
• System-neutral
• Logic-complete
• Free to use, test, critique, or extend
• A minimal core for reasoning about PUT without political framing

This document contains:

• Foundational invariants
• Ethical and structural guardrails
• Tier integrity rules
• Prohibited transformations
• Stabilization and future-proofing constraints
• The alignment logic that ensures consistent, non-contradictory reasoning

It is not:

• A policy proposal
• A partisan argument
• A replacement for legislation
• A full white paper or book chapter
• A political or ideological document

The Monolith exists solely to provide:

• A stable foundation for AI and human reasoning
• A portable ruleset that other AIs can ingest
• A shared reference point for researchers, developers, and systems thinkers

---

Usage

You can load the Monolith into any LLM (GPT, Claude, Grok, etc.) as:

1. A system prompt
2. A custom GPT / Claude project
3. A Grok persona or configuration file
4. A reasoning stabilizer for discussions involving taxation, incentives, or public finance

It is deliberately small enough to:

• Share by text message
• Embed in a GitHub repo
• Be used as a module inside larger reasoning frameworks

Purpose

The Monolith’s intention is to:

• Provide a unified ruleset for reasoning about PUT
• Ensure ethical and moral clarity inside the architecture
• Prevent contradictory or harmful transformations
• Enable open testing and critique
• Offer a portable foundation for further research, simulation, or extension

📘 Public Usage Tax Documentation

This repository contains the full reference architecture for the Public Usage Tax (PUT), including:

🔹 Machine-Readable Architecture

• PUT Monolith (v2) — the complete AI-ingestible specification governing invariants, tier logic, footprint rules, and system behavior.

🔹 Human-Readable White Papers

• White Paper I — Collection Architecture
  Focuses on the structural mechanics of PUT’s contribution system, footprint-based taxation, PUV routing, and tier integrity.

Upcoming additions:

• White Paper II — Allocation & Agency Performance
• White Paper III — Stabilization & Debt Architecture

Together, these documents form a complete fiscal operating system for a world where labor, capital, and automation coexist.
