Replace monolithic passepartout-economics.org with directory of org-roam style nodes, each with :ID: property and cross-references using [[id:uuid][title]] format. 27 nodes organized by theme: - Core: index, triad overview, agora, stoa - Revenue: verification appliance, domain gate packages, evaluation harness, skill marketplace, agora usernames, PDS service, compute marketplace - Strategy: investment thesis, moats, licensing, patents, AI industry impact - Analysis: lisp economics, sufficiency flip, time estimates, cost structure, gate rule encoding, upgrade lifecycle, biology parallels, symbolics comparison - Big money: verification monopoly, infrastructure lock-in Old file kept as archive with redirect links to new structure.

Cost Structure — Zero Marginal Cost
- One-time cost: gate-rule encoding for a domain (from hours for codified domains up to months for tacit domains)
- Near-zero marginal cost: ACL2 proof + Screamer consistency check + VivaceGraph lookup per interaction — all CPU-native, all in-image
- No recurring LLM API costs for the 80% symbolic reasoning layer
- After sufficiency flip: pennies per day vs dollars per day for LLM-only
The cost curve inverts: generation is expensive, verification is cheap. This is the inversion Passepartout exploits.
Token demand shifts from "every interaction burns tokens" to "only unfamiliar interactions burn tokens." Steady-state per-user LLM consumption drops by an order of magnitude.
