Even the share you saved has an expiry date

2114The deep futureDeadline · Within 120 days until the new allocation cycle

Civilisational assumption

The people, events, figures, and contract terms are a synthetic premise. They are not statements of real cases or of current law. The source documents are the roots of the background and the norms and do not establish the premises of the scenario.

The question to decide

Letting resource use rights lapse at the end of a term can encourage use that is not needed, while rolling them over indefinitely lets long-time savers crowd out future allocation. Returning the remaining rights to the community and recording contributions does not guarantee future shares. How should an individual's unused share be set aside?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Expire use rights at the end of the cycle

    Simplifies allocation in the new cycle, but encourages unnecessary use and reduces the choice to set aside for the future.

  2. Option 2

    Carry over individuals' unused rights

    Leaves the authority to save and prepare, but past accumulation can weigh heavily on future allocation.

  3. Option 3

    Recycle jointly and record unused contributions

    Spends on present needs, but it is uncertain whether the record will carry over into actual future rights.

The situation as it stands

The assumed system allocates rights of use of scarce resources to citizens, and any remaining rights disappear at the end of the cycle. Decision deadline: within 120 days, by the new allocation cycle.

Year 2114, future synthetic scenario · The expiry of the public share's right of use leaves no choice to set aside. The events, figures, technologies, and nature of the civilization are assumptions for the sake of the question, not predictions of what is to come or observed facts.

  1. Premise 1The assumed system allocates rights of use of scarce resources to citizens, and any remaining rights disappear at the end of the cycle.
  2. Premise 2Unnecessary use rises just before expiry, but with unlimited carry-over, those who saved for a long time can claim large amounts of resources.
  3. Premise 3Joint recycling returns resources to present needs, but those who saved up are left with no guaranteed future share.

Where it holdsExpiring use rights, thrift, reallocation

What is still unknown

  1. Unknown 1The actual reasons for increased use at the end of the period
  2. Unknown 2The extent to which carried-over rights can exceed future supply
  3. Unknown 3Citizens' expectations of reading contribution records as rights

Signals to decide again

  • Define the observation, the responsible party, and the confirmation channel that can establish "the actual reasons for increased use at the end of the period," and re-judge if the new finding changes the trade-offs among the options.

Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
Independent branch 1 · synthetic event

The reasons for non-use split between thrift and barriers to access.

Independent branch 2 · synthetic event

A request came in to use long-carried-over rights all at once in a single period.
