the essence of society/business

business as folding of people structures into useful production-chains (trees, nets),

money a useful local indicator of usefulness

initiator of a fold becomes its proprietor, "owner",
the decider, the "one on top", point man in negotiations with other production-chains

each member in a production-chain partakes in the global societal division of labor

when the production-chain loses its utility, the business goes bankrupt

society decides what (whom) it values in itself more, what less, and sets prices accordingly

economy --> field (net, support-medium) of

- to reduce internal crime/strife/{sum total of grief}
- to preserve rigidity of internal folding structure
- to ensure fluidity of internal folding structure
- to flatten the internal folding structure (minimize the societal pyramid height)
- to maximize utility of production, of realization of its goals
