Abstract

This study examines the metaphysical foundations of economics, focusing on transforming value from subjective origins to objective realizations through interconnected networks of human activity. While traditional theories, including subjective marginal utility-based perspectives, highlight individual and transient valuations, they often overlook the intrinsic informational and motivational nature of value as a driver of systemic growth. This study addresses this gap, presenting a theoretical model in which subjective valuations evolve into objective, persistent value through collaborative economic networks. Algorithmic simulations demonstrate the feasibility of Universal Basic Income as a transformative mechanism for aligning government finances, strengthening civic engagement, and eliminating poverty. The proposed arbitrage financed fund leverages market dynamics to achieve economic stability without relying on taxation. Scenario-based simulations illustrate the viability of UBI implementation in the U.S., revealing its potential to achieve sustainable growth and transform society. By integrating metaphysical insights with algorithmic modeling, this study offers a novel framework for understanding value creation and its implications for economic policy. It highlights the expansive role of valuing networks in fostering wealth and civic participation, proposing actionable pathways for reimagining economic institutions. The findings underscore UBI’s ability to catalyze eudaimonic societal outcomes as a foundation for higher sustainable rates of poverty- eradicating economic growth.
