Money equals energy

Money is equivalent in a certain sense to energy

 * 1) The more energy an entity has access to, the more likely it is to persist through time
 * 2) Organization increases efficiency

entities will agree to become "cogs"

 * 1) entities will seek to organize
 * 2) people want to persist through difficulties
 * 3) entities are rewarded with energy for agreeing to organize
 * 4) organization increase efficiency
 * 5) entities are rewarded with energy for increaseing efficiency
 * 6) energy helps people to persist through difficulties
 * 7) organization takes the form of employment
 * 8) in order to be employed, you must agree to be a "cog"

the most basic form of employment is collecting energy for use by people

 * 1) Farmers, coal miners, anyone with a solar panel, and oil companies collect energy for use by people.
 * 2) Farmers, coal miners, anyone with a solar panel, and oil companies are the most basic form of employment.

Information gathering is a form of employment

 * 1) Information creates efficiency
 * 2) Things that create efficiency are forms of employment

All employment is an exchange of energy

 * 1) employers offer energy to employees
 * 2) Employers offer money to employees
 * 3) Money is energy
 * 4) employees offer energy to employers
 * 5) employees offer work to employers
 * 6) work is energy
 * 7) The ability to do work comes from food
 * 8) If an ability comes from food, then it is energy

Money is equivalent in a certain sense to energy.

I'd like to put forth the following axioms.

Axiom 1: The more energy an entity has access to, the more likely it is to persist through time.

Axiom 2: Organization increases efficiency.

Since people want to persist through difficulties, they seek out energy. Since organization increases efficiency, entities will be rewarded with energy for agreeing to organize. Therefore, entities will seek to organize.

This organization takes the form of employment. For agreeing to become a "cog" in an organization, a person will naturally be rewarded with energy in some form.

The most basic employment will be collecting energy for use by people. For example, farmers, coal miners, anyone with a solar panel, and oil companies engage in this form of employment. I will call it "energy farming".

Delivering that energy to people is also a form of employment. Creating the vehicles to deliver that energy is a form of employment, as is driving those vehicles.

Information gathering is also a form of employment, because information creates efficiency.

All employment is an exchange: the employer offers energy in the form of money return for the employee offering energy (that they get from food) in the form of "doing their job".

So all money is derived from energy. But money is also used like energy. We now launch into the analogy.

When you want something (work) "done" you use money. For example, you can use money to buy electricity and its delivery to you; you can use money to buy farmed wheat and its delievery to you; you can use money to buy premade bread and its delivery to you. You can also use money to buy a taxi ride, or a dentist's efforts. Each of these things is at its source the expenditure of energy for your benefit. And the more money you have, the more you can get done.

Money is potential energy and the transfer of money is kinetic energy. Spending money quickly is (work/time) is power. For example, if someone has a lot of money but it is tied up in real estate, then it does not weild power. Of course, there will be someone ("transformer") willing to give her a loan and thus increase her power, but they will require some money in return.

When one person is willing to pay another a lot of money for something, this is like voltage. If the voltage is large enough, it will overcome a given resistance. When money ("currency") flows, it is like current.
