Context

Mr. Melton shared the MEA framework — a protocol-based economic coordination system built around small, bounded groups ("Pods") that grow through division (mitosis), maintain intentionally sparse inter-pod relationships, and use a gradient-based exchange protocol tied to relational distance.

This repo examines how rSpace-Online's existing module ecosystem might serve as an implementation substrate for MEA concepts.
