For the record, I didn't expect this level of work from A.I.
Generating academic research papers was not my intent going into Anthropic's free version Claude 4. I started by asking if it could help get the CCO-PTH concepts some media coverage and attention from policy makers, perhaps a documentary film script. It took the Better To Best book material to an institutional type of writing I didn't see coming, and am amazed that months or years of work can now be generated in minutes and days. Anyone online can see the writing is clearly projected on the proverbial wall, automation is coming soon. The critical question for many is: what next, economically?

After Claude Sonnet synthesized a few links to my prior work, it suggested a plan, and I prompted it to proceed. It's academic capability is way beyond most people's, including mine obviously, but it did need a few early corrections, which helped reinforce the concepts in the revised PDFs shared below. I did not check the references or the complex math, as I was having trouble posting those math formulae that rarely come off clean as a whole paper, and wanted to share them regardless of their accuracy, which must drive actual researchers nuts. But Claude said that's what a working paper is, a pre-print. A call for review - to perhaps be published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Anthropic's 5-hour time-out before completing a task is an effective business tactic, and since the chat gets maxed out to where you have to start over with a blank chat box, I begrudgingly paid $20 for a month trial of Opus, mainly to access a project box of files to repeatedly reference from. I wanted to keep it free, but running a simulation model without the work it had already generated seemed too difficult. Considering the papers it had already produced were shareable, I figured it's a LLM worth supporting. The following Economic Modeling paper did come off clean from a formatting perspective, yet I wouldn't have set the assumptions the same as Opus did. Is it accurate mathematically? Chime in if not.

To answer the big question mentioned earlier: the US government could decide to shift priorities to align with citizen well-being and cultural enhancement by initiating this 3-month implementation plan that delivers a Compassionate Meritocracy on Thanksgiving Day.
A more conservative, multi-year implementation plan is proposed here: https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/b96a0930-7992-4cb6-a8e1-c99a7c29c30a
Now my bold and audacious claims of 'CCO with UBI' being the best monetary system possible, has science-based evidence to stand on, even though it should already be obvious without AI's support. At least that's the way I've seen it since January 2015, when initially presenting Creative Currency Octaves. Now a decade later, it's more refined than I had imagined it could become with just a laptop and internet access. Yet, the concepts aren't as far as I hoped they'd be by now.
Hopefully this body of literature changes things in economics and public policy making, so we as conscious beings can prioritize human wellness and cultural enhancement. Can civilization get free from this terrible debt-based poverty trap, once and for all? Is there a better way than this peaceful, revolutionizing path to actual equity, enablement for the ambitious, a more direct democracy, and a harmonized society that fosters flourishment? Offering hope, change, progress, inspiration, access, and now data.
