SRL vs CRL: How We Stabilize Loops

Core Definitions

SRL = Stabilized Recursive Loop

A loop that pays for itself and strengthens the community. Value flows circulate locally, compound over time, and resist extraction.

CRL = Corrupted Recursive Loop

Extractive patterns that drain value and control from communities. Corporate capture, rent-seeking, and value extraction to distant shareholders.

How to Identify Loop Types

SRL Indicators

  • Local ownership & decision-making
  • Value compounds in community
  • Transparent operations & accounting
  • Resilient to external shocks

CRL Warning Signs

  • External corporate control
  • Value extracted to shareholders
  • Opaque financials & governance
  • Dependency on subsidies/grants

Loop Stabilization Methods

1. DAO Ownership

Community treasury holds infrastructure. No external equity possible.

2. Fixed Dialocation

60% reinvest, 20% ops, 20% reserves. Hardcoded, not negotiable.

3. Anti-Capture Rules

15% max draw per loop, small actors priority, no entity >10% vote.

4. Physical Proof

Every credit backed by measured waste. No estimates, no offsets.
