Chapter IV — The Generalization of Labor
Axiom 4: Labor becomes a continuous spectrum of agents, not a binary human/machine split.
We generalize labor into a unified scalar: ULIₜ = HₜκH + RₜκR
Where Hₜ = human labor-hours deployed, Rₜ = robot/machine labor-hours, κH, κR = capability multipliers (humans ≈ 1, robots > 1 if multi-task, > 1.5 if super-human precision).
As ULI rises and LLM approaches 1, economies gain temporal liquidity — the ability to reallocate productive time instantly. That is the time bank made real.
