Been noodling on a notion of circular information economy and information recycling/reconditioning/regeneration. Like a generalization of the idea of extracting value from data exhaust. Anyone seen anything like this?

World is awash in high-entropy information output by high-value-add processes that feed on low-entropy information. Processing costs are falling fast enough due to AI that we can imagine extracting more value. Advertising and intelligence gathering already do this narrowly.

ledger-authenticated standardized content blocks. can be infinitely re-ordered and amended, like words in logic sentences (OOP)-the new configs exhaust new meaning. like code.
