Layer 2, signed now, pays later. The Windfall Clause with numbers attached: a graduated share of a firm's total profits above 0.25% of gross world product (about $275B a year, roughly triple the most profitable companies in history), scaling to 25% above 1% of GWP. Both feed an Alaska/Norway-style permanent fund paying a universal, equal dividend. The dividend does double duty as the anti-capture mechanism: everyone owns it, so everyone defends it.AI Verified (Jul 20, 2026)
