Adaptive Universal Basic Income (AUBI)
We're developing a revolutionary framework that transforms traditional UBI into a living system for enacting the Treaty for Our Only Home's social promises, channeling Hearts and Leaves currencies to nurture Right Relationship, human flourishing, and ecological restoration.
This framework will include:
- 🌱 Four-layer payout system rooted in Indigenous wisdom: relational wealth, universal baseline, contribution bonuses, and equity supplements
- 💚 Hearts & Leaves dual currency rewarding care work and ecological restoration through blockchain-verified Love Ledger
- 🏛️ Social Resilience Council with 40% Indigenous representation, FPIC 2.0 protocols, and Earth Council veto power
- 📊 Love, Meaning & Connection Index (LMCI) replacing GDP with metrics of Right Relationship and human-land connections
- 💰 Hybrid fiat/Hearts baseline (70/30) ensuring economic dignity while building regenerative economy
- 🪶 Indigenous-guided governance with ceremonial decision-making and Red Lines Clause protections
- ⚖️ Treaty integration delivering social contract promises through Pillar 4 planetary health mechanisms
- 🌍 Global pilot program starting in Indigenous-led Bioregional Autonomous Zones with community sovereignty
Expected completion: Q1 2025
💚 Right Relationship Through Economic Security
AUBI transforms traditional Universal Basic Income into a living system for enacting the Treaty for Our Only Home's social promises. Guided by Indigenous wisdom and the principle of Right Relationship, it channels Hearts and Leaves currencies to nurture human flourishing, ecological restoration, and cultural vitality.
Hearts & Leaves Economy
Dual-currency system where Hearts reward care and community contributions, while Leaves fund ecological restoration projects.
Indigenous-Guided Governance
Social Resilience Council with 40% Indigenous representation, FPIC 2.0 protocols, and Earth Council veto power over harmful policies.
Love, Meaning & Connection Index
Replaces GDP with metrics measuring care relationships, cultural preservation, and human-land connections guided by Indigenous philosophy.
Four-Layer Adaptive System
From relational wealth (Layer 0) to universal baseline, contribution bonuses, and equity supplements, all rooted in Right Relationship.
