As advanced Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and highly optimized automation systems achieve near-total efficiency across all quantifiable, repeatable industrial and service tasks—a phase commonly referred to in predictive models as the 'Utility Collapse'—the primary limiting factor for systemic growth has structurally shifted. The economic scarcity is no longer defined by energy, raw materials, or computational throughput, but rather by unstructured human attention, authentic lived context, and localized social cohesion. This macro-economic realignment necessitates that governance structures mandate a measurable utility value for inherently non-productive activities such as caregiving, community maintenance, mentorship, and unscripted presence.
