Abundance is really hard to measure. Economics kinda ends at zero price. You need something like imaginary numbers for price, since negative price is simply regular price with transaction direction reversed.

Sure, but that doesn’t mean abundance does not have distinctive dynamics or that it is subsumed by the nearest scarcity

do we have a formal definition of abundance? eg for a given X there is so much X it isn't worth counting it?

Something is abundant when we take it for granted and stop assigning any value to it. Like air, water and dirt. My feels are that as long as there is anything rare many ppl will be obsessed. Rarity can be synthesized too, for example art.

Abundance does change our psychology and relations to things. I wonder about doing fake abundance: treat something as abundant even when it's not to get the psychological benefits, maybe solve problems that way.
