9.8 Misconception Eight: The Economic Model is Unsustainable
Skeptical Viewpoint
"This model will definitely be unsustainable in the long run and will ultimately collapse."
In-depth Clarification
Mathematical Model of Sustainability
Limitations of Traditional Growth Models:
- Linear growth model: y=ax+b
- Exponential growth model: y=ae^bx
- Problem: Both assume infinite growth, which is inherently unsustainable
Utopia Cyclical Model:
- Cyclical model: y=f(x(modT))
- Where T is the Phoenix restart cycle
Characteristics of Utopia Cyclical Model:
- Periodic reset
- Value inheritance
- System purification
- Sustainable operation
Sustainability of Network Value Creation
Value Source Analysis:
Network effect value: V(n)=k×n×(n-1)
When network scale grows:
- Number of connections: n² growth
- Network value: exponential growth
- Value creation: continuous
As long as human society has network needs, network value creation can continue.
Self-regulation of the Ecosystem
Natural Balance Mechanism:
- Participant growth → network value growth → attract more participants
- Too many participants → system pressure increases → trigger Phoenix restart
- Phoenix restart → system purification → new cycle begins
This self-regulation ensures long-term balance.
Economic Support:
- Supply-demand balance: Dynamic balance between participation demand and system capacity
- Risk control: Proactive restart to prevent systemic risks
- Value inheritance: Ensuring continuity of core values
- Innovation incentive: Periodic updates to maintain system vitality
