    It's necessary because those external influences will change the value that things are charged at internally.
    But it does, you've said resource spending will be tracked, and measured per individual. You've also said overspending can lead to jail time, and that a person card (spending) can be cut off.

    Ah, so the external price of goods affects the internal resource value. Great.

Incidently, I doubt he's into R.B.E which means he works for money. Oh dear.
    Yep, it would be like getting a structural engineer friend to cast his eye over a building as a favour. No formal sign off expected or required etc.

    Yes, but the individual isn't getting paid. Likely just us using different words for the same thing, as happens, but essentially the individual is valued, just not paid and that value is dealt with on their behalf by the system. Yes, the spending is the value that they're taking out of the internal economy, and if that is happening would you not want to know and potentially arrest the behaviour?

    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    Indeed, so what are they valued by? Equal for all? Ability? Need?

    They are valued by the program. The program can be as simple or as complex as consensus decides that it needs to be, so there may well be a need for some form of weighting to be used wrt resources that are "plentiful".

    So if the program decides we need more gardeners, they get valued at more? so have more to spend. What are the people who choose not to work valued at?
