intrinsic accounting
• Borrow once, pay geometrically…

The promise is the source of intent by which all promisees and
observers may calibrate their expectations….
The voluntary basis of trust….

12. 1. Agents and super agents make promises in a scaling
hierarchy
2. An agent can never make a promise about another agent’s

worth what another is willing to give you for it
