Bionomics is our name for an economic system that works the way ecosystems work: value flows in cycles, waste becomes food, diversity creates resilience, and health compounds. In practice this means contribution scores, gratitude tokens, seasonal harvests, and bioregional value flows that reward work which heals land and community rather than extracts from them.
We measure success across nine forms of capital: financial, social, intellectual, material, living, cultural, spiritual, experiential, and health. The first eight are Ethan Roland and Gregory Landua's 8 Forms of Capital. The ninth, health capital, is ours: body vitality, wellness, movement, rest, and care, which the original eight have no place for. Money is one form of wealth among nine, and our accounting reflects that. See the nine forms of capital, tokenomics for the token mechanics, and the glossary for the full vocabulary.
