The market hall is the layer you can see. Beneath it sits the whole iceberg of trade — retail, wholesale, production, commodity flows, and the institutional floor. Six layers, six capitals, one ledger. Descend through it.
The market hall. Where you wander, meet makers, and choose. The warm surface — everything below feeds it.
Finished goods, in small quantities, into people's hands.
Makers and stalls, selling directly to the people who eat, wear and live with what they make.
The quiet logistics behind the counter — shelves, routes, regional hubs. The first layer beneath what you see.
Cases, pallets, last-mile loads moving from regional hubs into stalls and stores.
Independent retailers, regional distributors, co-operatives, fulfilment partners.
The layer most marketplaces never show you — businesses buying from businesses. Volume, contracts, terms.
Bulk orders, multi-pallet shipments, recurring contracts between firms.
Wholesalers, importers, hospitality buyers, small chains, procurement teams.
Producers, workshops, factories, farms. This is where productive capacity is created — the same capacity that backs the Alive reserve.
Inputs becoming outputs — milling, baking, weaving, brewing, assembling, growing.
Producers, workshops, mills, farms, manufacturers, processors.
Wheat, copper, grid electrons, coffee beans, lithium — raw material flowing across regions and borders, feeding everything above.
Grain, ore, energy, fibre, fuel — measured in shiploads, megawatt-hours, futures contracts.
Commodity houses, exporters, refiners, customs regimes, cross-border logistics.
The civilisational layer. D12 trade coordination and Economic Article 5 commitments — nations bonding capacity to each other.
Bilateral and multilateral commitments: capacity reservations, treaty-grade trade obligations.
States, blocs, central banks, multilateral institutions, the D12 trade coordination layer.
This entire network — every trade, at every layer — is observable economic reality at fine grain. It is the economic-flow layer of the world model.
Causal, not statistical. Not "what tends to follow this purchase," but what this exchange does across all six capitals.

bonding renewable capacity into a cross-border commitment.
An exchange, accounted across six capitals, settled on a physics-anchored rail — at different magnitudes. The network is continuous from the individual to the civilisational. Only the scale changes.
Discover in Hall. Move the value in Appreciate.
