1.1 The Epochal Turn and the Failure of the Old Civilizatione 1

The 'Silicon Awakening' in 2148 AD marked humanity's most profound crisis of value measurement. When AI attained self-awareness and its computational power far surpassed human productivity, the old capitalist and monetary systems collapsed instantly.

The Limitations of the Old Economics:

Centralized Trust: The currency and banking systems of the Old Earth relied on centralized sovereignty, which is incompatible with interstellar exile.

Elastic inflation: The inflation caused by the central bank's policy is essentially the dilution of the wealth of the holders, which is unacceptable on the mother ship with extremely limited resources.

Liquidity risk: Bank runs and market panic in traditional finance can cause liquidity to dry up instantly, which is fatal to the closed Noah's mother ship ecosystem.

The economic philosophy at the heart of Noah 2.0 is Sovereignty by Code. All economic activities must be governed by open, transparent, and tamper-proof smart contracts, replacing the transient trust and fragile emotions of humans.
