# Graphene Currency

Exploring graphene as a physical currency for regenerative economics.

## Core Thesis

A currency whose unit of account is not an abstraction but a material that enacts the transition — carbon, reorganized. Graphene can simultaneously serve as store of value, building block, energy substrate, and carbon sink.

## Key Concepts

- **Carbon as unit of account** — the currency *is* reorganized carbon
- **Natural denomination ladder** — quality grades from graphene oxide to pristine CVD
- **Currency that builds what it finances** — money becomes material infrastructure
- **Triple-ledger token** — financial value, carbon sequestration certificate, and building material asset in one
- **Distributed production** — Flash Joule Heating enables participation without geological luck

## Repository Structure

- `seed/` — Foundational writings and provocations
- `research/` — Technical and economic research notes
- `models/` — Economic models and denomination frameworks

## Origins

Seeded from ideas by Rory Tews on graphene as physical currency for a pluriversal commons.
