The proposition for basic income is every citizen receives a guaranteed income from the state, as a form of welfare or social security.

The proposal is apolitical in that it attracts support from a spectrum of opinion which would usually disagree on other economic and political tracts.

Trust

In fiduciary language, trust is a relationship between one party to bestow another a pre-defined benefit. So in this context, the state is trusted to provide basic income whilst maintaining a quality and trustworthiness in its money.

Protecting the social fabric has come into vogue in a world where automation and technology are increasingly prevalent. With these efficiencies come the threat of human redundancy, displacement and fear of dystopia.

Rheomode Explained

Formal English uses noun-based phrases more than verbs, which makes observation of physics phenomena difficult.

The dialectic quantum physicist David Bohm developed rheomode to transform focus from objects to processes and evolve a language that is dynamic rather than static.

Rheo (Greek for ‘flow’) and mode (a method, or way) attempted to overcome the limitations of western language in resolving problems marrying the physical world with the sub atomic one — a world in which reality is always in the making.

Creativity and the Moment of Expression

Verb means a spontaneous and unrestricted act, not fixed within static limits.

For example, Bohm pointed out when we say ‘it is raining’; what do we mean by ‘it’? It is therefore more accurate to say ‘rain is happening’.

The ‘re’ can signify again in the context at the moment of expression, continuing states of activity; indicated by the verb. A cadence arises and language inflects.

The basis for anyone (and the basis for basic income) is creativity; a natural and essential energy and inherent characteristic of our imaginations and minds to adapt, think afresh, act and live accordingly (in this moment of automation).

Denial of creativity brings a pervasive state of dissatisfaction which can be destructive, doleful, forlorn, fragmented and desolate.

In the rheomode, the ‘re-dolence’ and best connection with creative energy is the strong suggestion of invigoration, flow, consequence, fecundity of thinking; free from demands of others and free from the desire for approval.

And if this redolence is a mark of the quality of money and it’s trustworthiness, can basic income show us the way?
