It is so simple we can test it in this thread. I send 400 XYZ to , with the Ripple protocol from 2003, and also using Resilience on top of it, a 4% tax. Neither
or me have any credit lines to us, so, the tax is "refunded" to me, leaving an IOU of 400 XYZ.
Then pays
300 XYZ, still with Ripple protocol from 2003, and Resilience on top with 4% tax-rate. The reallocation now "travels" through two "transaction pathways" (called credit lines in
's Ripple. )
@Cryptowitch2 sends 100 XYZ to , and since neither have any IOUs to them, the tax is still refunded. Resilience is still not doing much, as you see, it achieves a "global medium" for basic income when populated by more people, but scales from nobody to infinite size.
then pays
200 XYZ, and
does not trust
directly, but trusts
, so the payment is routed via
(the Ripple protocol, 2003), with taxes on every intermediary in payment routing (the Resilience protocol. )
then sends a payment of 400 XYZ to
_me. The Ripple protocol finds a circle of debt, and clears 196 XYZ between
_me,
and
. In this time, @Cryptowitch2 has received in total 12 XYZ in basic income. Scales with people.

The whole thing in a GIF,
@OttoGunger then makes a payment to me (_me ) of 300 XYZ. I do not trust @OttoGunger but I trust
, so with the Ripple protocol, payment is routed via one hop. The payment forms a credit loop between
_me and
and clears credit.
@Cryptowitch2 has now received 26 XYZ in basic income in total, by "multi-hop debt reduction", from Resilience as a global medium that provides basic income similar to how the internet lets people communicate (transmit data. )
