Beginning around 2035, accelerating through climate instability and resource scarcity crises, global economies have transitioned from valuing permanent, static asset ownership (land tenure) to quantifying and trading time-limited guaranteed utility throughputs. The fundamental unit of collateral value has shifted from physical mass to functional flow: verifiable access quotas for energy, data bandwidth, potable water, atmospheric regulation services, and metabolic exchange points.
