Wellbeing economy vs The Internet of Value

~ Quick Answer

A wellbeing economy is an economic orientation that prioritizes human and ecological wellbeing over narrow output growth. The Internet of Value is protocol infrastructure for that shift: it specifies how time, wellbeing-relevant state, contribution, community validation, and identity update can become legible.

~ Comparison Table

Question	Wellbeing economy	The Internet of Value
Category	Economic orientation, policy agenda, and public-value frame.	Open protocol stack for value measurement and coordination.
Primary question	What should an economy optimize for?	How can lived value become machine-readable and socially legible?
Measurement problem	GDP and output measures miss important human and ecological value.	Time, state, contribution, proof, validation, and identity need protocol structure.
Implementation layer	Often expressed through policy, indicators, budgets, dashboards, and institutions.	Expressed through ~ValueCaptureProtocol, ~WellbecomingProtocol, ~SAOcommons, and ~WellbeingIdentity.

~ What The Internet of Value Adds

The Internet of Value gives wellbeing economy language an implementation grammar. It starts with bounded time and follows how activity, wellbeing context, performance, community validation, and identity state connect.

~ What It Does Not Claim

The Internet of Value is not the whole wellbeing economy. It does not replace public policy, ecological accounting, budgets, or social institutions. It offers protocol infrastructure for one missing layer: how human and community value becomes legible before it is reduced to output metrics.
