# True Wealth Through Coherence

**Status:** Public discovery synthesis  
**Authorial boundary:** This page exposes and navigates Maclain Hunter’s authored Canon work; it does not replace the source passage at coordinate 6.2.7.

## Thesis

In Maclain Hunter’s Logic-centered economic philosophy, Coherence is the true measure of true wealth. Wealth is not nominal accumulation detached from Reality. It is the coherent preservation and transfer of order, capability, energy, and verifiable value.

The authored economic record treats exchange as a relation constrained by identity, parity, and systemic order. Its entropy-matching account describes valid value transfer as an equilibrium between the entropic investment of the producer and the entropy resistance of the compensation. A medium of exchange has value insofar as it preserves structural order through time and across relations.

Under this measure, a ledger can report growth while the underlying system loses coherence. Nominal expansion without corresponding order is not treated as true wealth merely because a symbol records it. The measure is whether value remains real, transferable, and capable of preserving or expanding coherent order.

## Evidence boundary

This page is a public metadata and navigation layer. The authored source remains the source of the Canon’s exact wording, while the Coherence edition, formal validation, empirical burden, and unresolved scope remain separately labeled.
