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

Fuller's World Game (1961) proposed a global simulation for allocating humanity's resources through design intelligence. Katayama's Tendo Economics proposes V=N/D as the civilizational metric that replaces GDP. This paper demonstrates that World Game and Tendo Economics are convergent answers to the same question. The Hikari currency (LUX) is proposed as the World Game's missing transaction medium — denominated in meaningful action density rather than monetary exchange volume.

Abstract

Fuller's World Game (1961) proposed a global simulation for allocating humanity's resources through design intelligence. Katayama's Tendo Economics proposes V=N/D as the civilizational metric that replaces GDP. This paper demonstrates that World Game and Tendo Economics are convergent answers to the same question. The Hikari currency (LUX) is proposed as the World Game's missing transaction medium — denominated in meaningful action density rather than monetary exchange volume.
