In an age where artificial intelligence is poised to generate an unprecedented volume of content, we stand at the cusp of a new economic paradigm. This shift presents not just challenges, but immense opportunities for innovation and growth.
The Knowledge Economy Reimagined
At its core, economic value emerges from human interaction and collaboration. As AI proliferates, the true measure of productivity will lie in our ability to harness this technological bounty effectively. The future of search engines and information systems will be pivotal, as they evolve to become sophisticated matchmakers between knowledge surpluses and deficits.
Bridging the Gap
This intelligent matchmaking process is the cornerstone of creating real economic value. By connecting those who possess knowledge with those who seek it, we unlock the potential for:
Opportunity: New avenues for innovation and entrepreneurship
Equity: Democratized access to information and resources
Access: Breaking down barriers to entry across industries
The Currency of Innovation
In this new landscape, innovation becomes the true currency. As AI assists in content creation and interpretation, human creativity and insight will be more valuable than ever. The ability to synthesize AI-generated information into novel ideas and solutions will drive economic growth
Tangible Value from Intangible Assets
Projects like The Ingenesist are at the forefront of this economic revolution, leveraging cutting-edge technologies to transform intangible assets into tangible value. This approach not only monetizes knowledge but also creates a more dynamic and inclusive economic ecosystem.
As we embrace this AI-driven future, the essence of productivity will shift from mere output to the quality of connections and innovations we foster. The result? A more vibrant, equitable, and prosperous global economy.
A monetary system backed by innovation represents a revolutionary approach to value creation in our modern economy. Unlike traditional systems anchored to physical commodities like gold or oil, or the current debt-based fiat system, an innovation-backed currency derives its worth from humanity’s capacity to solve problems and create new solutions.
Core Mechanics
The foundation of this system rests on measuring and tokenizing innovative output across society. Value is created when two or more people get together and build something useful. In Boomspace, the single innovation unit is a node comprised of a claim and a validation of fact. Many innovation units combined may result in patents filed, research breakthroughs, or innovative solutions to problems – but it all starts and ends with validated claims of factual events. This creates a direct link between human ingenuity and monetary value.
Advantages
Economic Growth Alignment
This system naturally promotes sustainable economic growth by rewarding activities that advance human knowledge and capabilities. Rather than encouraging debt accumulation or resource extraction, it incentivizes education, research, and creative problem-solving.
Dynamic Valuation
The currency’s value appreciates as society’s innovative capacity expands, creating a naturally progressive monetary system. This stands in stark contrast to traditional commodities, which are finite and can lead to artificial scarcity.
Distributed Opportunity
Innovation-backed currency democratizes value creation, as anyone with ideas and problem-solving abilities can contribute to the monetary base. This system rewards merit and creativity rather than existing wealth or resource control.
Implementation Framework
The practical deployment would involve establishing clear metrics for measuring innovation impact, creating transparent verification systems, and developing smart contracts to automatically mint currency when verified innovations occur. Advanced AI systems could help evaluate the quality and impact of innovations, ensuring fair and objective value assessment.
This monetary system fundamentally redefines wealth as the capacity to improve the human condition. It creates a positive feedback loop where financial incentives align perfectly with societal progress, potentially ushering in an unprecedented era of human advancement and prosperity. By making innovation the backbone of our monetary system, we create an economy that naturally evolves toward greater efficiency, sustainability, and shared prosperity.

The Dividends of Innovation
Innovation is not linear Modern civilization did not begin 10,000 years ago with 250 Trillion dollars sitting in a box somewhere in the desert.
Money was measured into existence as a function of the things that scientists, engineers, and technologists built. Innovations such as the wheel, wedge, and lever came long before the invention of International Trade Agreements Innovations in machinery, transportation and energy enabled advances in sanitation, healthcare, and computers
Yet, the wheel, wedge, and lever are more important and more widely applied than ever. Wouldn’t it make more sense if we developed a monetary system backed by the dividends of innovation rather than the gravity of debt?
The Ingenesist Project uses game theory, blockchain, and artificial intelligence to measure the true economic contribution of engineers, scientists, and technologists.
The traditional understanding of innovation has been shrouded in ambiguity, often reduced to: “you know it when you see it”- followed with a shrug. However, by viewing innovation through the lens of knowledge acceleration, we can develop a more precise, predictive, and actionable framework for identifying transformative opportunities
Knowledge Acceleration as Innovation’s Core
Innovation can be precisely measured as the rate of change of knowledge with respect to time. This mathematical approach transforms the nebulous concept of innovation into a quantifiable metric
When we understand that each significant innovation comprises numerous smaller knowledge breakthroughs, we can better identify where true value creation occurs.
Breaking Free from Traditional Metrics
The current innovation ecosystem suffers from a fundamental flaw – it’s predominantly denominated in monetary terms. This narrow view has created a system where innovation recognition is often limited to those with significant financial backing, particularly venture capitalists
This limitation severely restricts our ability to identify, prioritize, and nurture breakthrough solutions to pressing global challenges.
A New Framework for Innovation Assessment
By focusing on measuring knowledge acceleration rather than just financial metrics, we can identify promising innovations in their earliest stages. This approach allows us to:
Detect emerging knowledge clusters before they become obvious investment opportunities
Track the velocity of knowledge development across different domains
Identify genuine innovation separate from market hype
Implications for Future Investment
The ability to measure innovation through knowledge acceleration provides investors with a powerful tool for portfolio optimization. Instead of relying solely on traditional metrics, investors can now evaluate opportunities based on their contribution to knowledge growth and problem-solving capacity
This framework particularly shines when addressing urgent global challenges, as it helps identify solutions that create genuine progress rather than just market value. By understanding innovation as a measurable rate of knowledge change, we can direct capital more effectively toward transformative solutions that drive sustainable progress.
An Algorithm For Innovation; The Ingenesist Project
A useful definition allows people to identify, replicate, or measure the subject being defined. Yet the best definition we have for Innovation is basically, “You know it when you see it”.
How can we sustain our world if we cannot even define the sole instrument of change?
Have you ever had an epiphany? That ah-ha moment that comes from deep within… …when suddenly your knowledge about something grows exponentially within a very short period of time? Let’s call that “innovation”, where one large innovation is comprised of many smaller innovations.
In order to measure innovation, all you need to do is measure the rate of change of knowledge with respect to time. You don’t need Calculus to recognize this as an algorithm for innovation … but it helps.
If that idea doesn’t change the world, nothing will.

Analysis
Innovation is a great mystery that does not need to be. Everyone innovates – it is necessary for survival. Yet the magic and mystique of the innovator is a cultural phenomenon that forms the foundation of tech social status. Innovation is denominated in money – if you are not flush with cash, then you are not an innovator. Only VC can be innovators due to their ability to navigate financial markets. It almost seems that the more difficult it is to identify something, greater scarcity can be assigned to it. The false impression is that with greater scarcity come greater value. Again, when we become vested in our own misery, progress grinds to a halt.
This is all quite counter productive.
The problems of the future will require innovation, creation, new ideas, and vast execution at an astonishing scale. In order to achieve true economic sustainability, we need to a metric to denominate true value, not propped up scarcity value.
It is relatively easy to create and measure where high rates of change are occurring in a community or society. It is then relatively easy to observe what innovations take place as a result. This isn’t exactly a unicorn farm, but you probably can’t have a unicorn without these conditions in the first place. It is then only a matter of memorializing these conditions in a tangible form.
