Part Four
The system that keeps itself alive
Six loops in three layers. Attribution is the substrate; daily activity sits on it; the spread sits on that. Each layer depends on the one beneath it.
Tap a loop to open the discipline that keeps it from collapsing — and watch it turn.
Each layer builds on the one beneath it.
What it's built on
Verified people vouching for places they actually know. The substrate. If this layer is honest the whole system works; if it’s gamed, nothing above holds. Load-bearing, and the slowest to build.

Daily activity
What people actually do — ask, vouch, show up. Two loops run here: people contributing, and the harbor feeling alive now. Both feed the layer above.

How it spreads
Once a harbor is alive, three things happen on their own — places become known, entities want in, the harbor stops needing us. Outcomes, not features.
Six loops that keep each other going — ignited by one portable protocol, measured by one honest metric, held to one set of rules.
one playbook
one substrate-health metric
