DOCUMENTS INCLUDED
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1. Combined Reform Model — The Foundational Math
     04_Mathematical_Models/04_Combined_Reform_Model.xlsx
     Best for: The single most important model for understanding the
     platform's fiscal viability. The integrated model combining the Social
     Security sunset trajectory and the new Sovereign Fund construction
     trajectory. Demonstrates that running these processes in parallel
     produces peak transition borrowing of approximately $82 billion compared
     to the $63 trillion that the standalone sunset would require. This 99.9%
     reduction is the platform's signature analytical finding. The model
     includes sensitivity analysis showing how the reduction varies under
     different assumptions about returns, contribution rates, and demographic
     projections. When to read: Examine if you want to verify the platform's
     most important analytical claim. The model is the answer to anyone who
     says the platform's fiscal architecture is fantasy.

  2. Social Security Sunset Equilibrium Model
     04_Mathematical_Models/04_SS_Sunset_Equilibrium_Model.xlsx
     Best for: Readers wanting to see what standalone Social Security
     phase-out actually requires. Models the standalone phase-out of Social
     Security without replacement, demonstrating that the transition would
     require approximately $63 trillion in cumulative borrowing over sixty
     years. This model exists to establish the baseline against which the
     Combined Reform Model demonstrates its value. Reading this model first
     makes the Combined Reform Model's reduction visible as the meaningful
     analytical finding it is. When to read: Examine if you want to understand
     why the hybrid architecture matters. Read this before the Combined Reform
     Model for the full analytical arc.

  3. Hybrid Retirement System Model
     04_Mathematical_Models/04_Hybrid_Retirement_System_Model.xlsx
     Best for: Readers wanting to see how the new contribution system performs
     on its own. Models the new contribution system as a standalone
     architecture without the Social Security sunset, demonstrating that even
     on its own merits the system produces approximately $1.23 million in
     personal account balances at retirement for a worker entering at age 25
     with median wages. The model also projects Sovereign Fund accumulation
     reaching approximately $122 trillion at year 60, providing the
     institutional capacity that funds the platform's other pillars. When to
     read: Examine if you want to see how the new contribution system
     functions as a retirement security mechanism independently of the
     transition dynamics.

  4. Wage Floor Empirical Analysis
     04_Mathematical_Models/04_Wage_Floor_Empirical_Analysis.xlsx
     Best for: Readers wanting to verify the empirical foundation of the wage
     floor pillar. Covers 81 broad occupations and approximately 82 million
     American workers using BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics
     data. Calculates the proposed 25th-percentile floor wage for each
     occupation, projects the impact of raising current sub-floor wages to the
     floor, and demonstrates that the system produces meaningful wage
     increases for low-paid care occupations (childcare, home health, social
     work) while only modestly affecting higher-paid occupations. When to
     read: Examine if you want empirical evidence for the wage floor concept.
     The data is real BLS data; the calculations are auditable.

  5. Education Fund + Cost-Based Pricing Model
     04_Mathematical_Models/04_Education_Fund_Cost_Based_Pricing_Model.xlsx
     Best for: Readers wanting to verify the education fund's analytical
     foundation and the cost-based pricing framework. Models the Sovereign
     Education Fund integrated with retirement disbursements, plus the
     cost-based pricing framework with field-of-study granularity.
     Demonstrates that free college is mathematically achievable through 1.2%
     annual disbursements from the mature retirement Sovereign Fund. The
     Field-of-Study Pricing sheet shows how the cost-based formula produces
     price ceilings ranging from approximately $11,000 per year for English
     programs to approximately $22,000 per year for specialized engineering
     programs. The Operational Mechanics sheet documents the two-channel
     disbursement architecture and the anti-fraud design. When to read:
     Examine if you want to understand how the education pillar actually works
     operationally and how the cost-based pricing prevents institutional
     padding.

  6. Universal Healthcare Model
     04_Mathematical_Models/04_Universal_Healthcare_Model.xlsx
     Best for: Readers wanting to verify the healthcare pillar's fiscal
     viability. Analyzes multi-payer healthcare reform on the German/Japanese
     model, with target spending of $9,500 per capita aligned with peer nation
     outcomes. Demonstrates a $2.6 trillion cumulative federal surplus by Year
     10 of implementation. The model includes the documented 4%/2% (note: the
     model spreadsheet currently uses 6%/4%; this rate-source discrepancy is
     tracked in the Open Issues Registry) payroll funding structure, the
     elimination of private health insurance premiums, the reduction of
     out-of-pocket costs, and the workforce transition implications for
     current administrative roles. When to read: Examine if you want to verify
     that universal healthcare is fiscally viable. The international
     precedents make this the most well-supported pillar empirically.

  7. Universal Childcare Model
     04_Mathematical_Models/04_Universal_Childcare_Model.xlsx
     Best for: Readers wanting to verify the childcare pillar's analytical
     foundation. Analyzes Quebec-style universal childcare with U.S. workforce
     considerations. Demonstrates a $135 billion annual surplus at full
     coverage, primarily through tax recovery from increased workforce
     participation among parents of young children. The model covers
     approximately 12 million children needing care, the 1.4 million workers
     required to staff the program at full coverage, and the funding structure
     of 0.8% employer plus 0.5% worker payroll contributions plus state
     matching funds. When to read: Examine if you want to verify that
     universal childcare can be funded without producing fiscal strain. The
     Quebec precedent makes this empirically grounded.

  8. Universal Mental Health Model
     04_Mathematical_Models/04_Universal_Mental_Health_Model.xlsx
     Best for: Readers wanting to verify the mental health pillar's workforce
     capacity claims. Analyzes universal voluntary access with workforce
     capacity considerations. Demonstrates that total workforce numbers are
     adequate at universal voluntary access utilization — distribution is the
     problem, not raw supply. The model covers approximately 60 million
     Americans needing some form of mental health care, current treatment
     gaps, and workforce expansion requirements through training pipeline
     funding. When to read: Examine if you want to verify that Universal
     Mental Health access is achievable. The model's most important finding is
     that the workforce problem is solvable through distribution rather than
     requiring impossible-scale expansion.

  9. Proof-of-Concept Fund Model
     04_Mathematical_Models/04_Proof_of_Concept_Fund_Model.xlsx
     Best for: Readers interested in how the platform demonstrates its
     principles at less-than-national scale. Models the demonstration fund
     that operates the platform's principles in real time before national
     enactment. Projects the trajectory of a $50 million proof-of-concept fund
     and how its disbursements would generate evidence about platform
     components. The model is most relevant to readers thinking about how the
     platform builds the political coalition required for full enactment. When
     to read: Examine if you want to understand how the platform could
     demonstrate its principles before requiring national legislation. Helpful
     for readers thinking strategically about the path to enactment.
