Chapter 6: The Transition — Companion Notes

Building the bridge from here to there without burning it behind us.

Read these next

• The 2025-2030 Labor Cliff: near-term automation data, timelines, and what individuals/teams should do now.
• Meiji Restoration & the EXIT Protocol: how Japan’s samurai were paid to become citizens—and why it worked.
• Fusion Timeline 2024-2030: the energy revolution that makes abundance possible.

Try this

• Run a neighborhood tool/library or pantry pilot to practice Baseline logistics locally.
• Stress-test your org’s automation plan against the labor-cliff data; publish the plan for accountability.
• Model the EXIT Protocol for one industry: what would billionaires need to be offered to voluntarily transfer assets?

Key concepts explored

• The EXIT Protocol: Bribing elites to cooperate rather than fighting them.
• Phase Zero (2025-2030): The Foundation Layer of energy, food, housing, healthcare, and coordination.
• The Labor Cliff: 30% of work hours automated by 2030—not speculation, implementation of existing tech.
• Proof-of-Diversity Experiments: Testing diversity-based governance before scaling.

Three paths explored

• Model A: Gradual Reform: 50-80 year timeline—too slow for the labor cliff.
• Model B: Revolutionary Rupture: Fast but creates power vacuums that strongmen fill.
• Model C: The EXIT Protocol: Faster than reform, safer than revolution.

Timeline

• 2025: EXIT Protocol launches, early adopters begin transfers
• 2027: Multiple Free Zones operational
• 2028: Fusion energy delivery to pilot regions
• 2030: Tipping point—30% of global economic activity transitioned

Coming soon

• AI+robotics playbooks for logistics, housing, and food rollouts.
• EXIT Protocol term sheets and negotiation frameworks.
• Quant models for Baseline cost curves and resilience.
