Fiscal Geometry

A conceptual framework for mapping institutional tension through event-based fiscal structures

What this framework does

Fiscal Geometry makes institutional stress visible before judgment, reform, or optimization.

It maps rules, capital flows, and outcomes into a shared coordinate space—so misalignment can be seen, not argued.

A data-driven, non-normative model

Fiscal Geometry is strictly data-driven.It does not evaluate, recommend, or judge.

It renders institutional structure visible, allowing distortion to be observed as geometry rather than argued as interpretation.

Admissibility and Computation

Only the dominant cloud—where interaction records concentrate most densely—is eligible for computation.

When stable, it is compared with Arithmetic ITI to derive IDI.

Other geometric structures remain visible for interpretation but do not enter calculation.

Use of Framework Notice

Fiscal Geometry is an original analytical framework developed by Jim Y. Huang.

Academic discussion, citation, and non-operational reference remain unrestricted.

Operational deployment of the framework — including internal analysis, compliance design, AI system structuring, governance workflows, or institutional decision systems — — falls within licensed use of the framework.

In modern societies, resources appear in two forms: pre-tax public capital and post-tax private capacity. Public capital is administered through governments and public institutions. Private capacity is held and deployed by households and private actors after tax.

This movement can be compressed into two directions. On the X-axis, post-tax private capacity shifts across places and jurisdictions—people reposition to access opportunities, security, services, and better pathways (including education). Over time, these X-axis shifts are carried into the Y-axis, where capacity becomes intergenerational preparation: what a family can carry forward, protect, and transmit.

As Y-axis capacity accumulates downward, it becomes a structure of social mobility and social continuation. When many such movements are mapped together, they form visible patterns—clusters, bottlenecks, and event-shapes—where institutional tension concentrates and becomes observable.
