# Equity

Definition

The distribution of participation, opportunity, ownership, agency, and value in ways that reflect the contributions and circumstances of participating agents.

Inclusionist Perspective

Equity is the tangible evidence that a system has recognized participation in value creation.

Core Principle

Individuals are entitled to equity in the value that proliferates from their interactions with others.

Inclusionist Perspective

Equity is not identical outcomes.

Equity is not uniformity.

Equity is not the elimination of differentiation.

Equity is the continual improvement of civilization's ability to recognize, attribute, and distribute value generated through interaction.

Relational Attribution

As civilizations become better at understanding how value emerges, they should become better at understanding individual and collective contributions.

Relational value does not eliminate individual ownership.

It creates a need for increasingly sophisticated attribution.

Inclusionist Perspective

Equity serves as evidence that participation, agency, and value have been recognized within a system.
