The World Game and Tendo Economics: Fuller's Civilizational Simulation and Katayama's V=N/D as Convergent Answers to the Same Question (v2)

Revised v2: Section 3.2 expanded with accurate account of Fuller's actual energy-accounting position across Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth (1969), Critical Path (1981), and Synergetics. Fuller proposed kilowatt-hours as the World Game transaction unit — not rejected but shown to be incomplete (resource layer, not value layer). LUX (Hikari) completes Fuller's framework by providing the missing N-denominated value unit. Fuller's own §100.20 acknowledgment that 'value is more than energy' cited as internal evidence.

Abstract

Revised v2: Section 3.2 expanded with accurate account of Fuller's actual energy-accounting position across Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth (1969), Critical Path (1981), and Synergetics. Fuller proposed kilowatt-hours as the World Game transaction unit — not rejected but shown to be incomplete (resource layer, not value layer). LUX (Hikari) completes Fuller's framework by providing the missing N-denominated value unit. Fuller's own §100.20 acknowledgment that 'value is more than energy' cited as internal evidence.
