Implication

Theoretical framework demonstrates dual-instrument currency design across sovereign financial networks, indicating payment elasticity without compromising legal unit-of-account stability.

Key Points

To design an alternative monetary framework that separates a nonholdable legal unit of account from a held, indexed currency to eliminate settlement scarcity while preserving price stability.
Constructed an architectural model featuring an abstract unit of account (the Stable) and an indexed, held monetary object (the Float).
Formulated an updating mechanism where common price components from current-output quotations dynamically recalculate the Float–Stable exchange relation.
Evaluated system constraints involving domestic output capacity, risk-bearing limits, foreign acceptance, and reserve-free clearing by participating authorities.
Decoupling denomination from circulating balances achieves settlement-balance elasticity, allowing currency expansion without relying on artificial reserve scarcity to defend the price ruler.
Isolating material financial risk outside a fully matched payment core permits authorities to settle admitted payments without prior reserve acquisition and hold residual imbalances as official positions.
