One of the fundamental design decisions of the registry is to proposefully introduces imbalances in every transaction in order to provide an incentive or deterant in the value of every transaction.

What this means is, for any given transaction, the cost to the purchaser need not equal what is paid to the provider.

If the cost to the purchaser is less than what is paid to the provider, this is the same as 'printing money' equal to the difference between the two sides of the transaction.

If the cost to the purchaser is more than what is paid to the provider, this acts as 'destroying money' equal to the difference between the two sides of the transaction.

Let's assume the price of a utility was X, and Bob wants to sell it to Sue.  In todays monetary system, Sue would give Bob X, Sue would no longer have X, and Bob would have X.

In the Registry, we introduce an imbalance, I, in every transaction such that Sue pays X + I and Bob receives X.  If I is positive, it's a deterrant.  If I is negative, it's an incentive.

One way to think of this is to imagine that if, for every transaction, if I is negative, the goverment comes in a writes the purchaser a check for I.  If I is positive, it's like a goods and services tax on the transaction.

We could have done this in the past with regular money with government intervention - however the paper work to implement this makes it difficult to do so, but not impossible.  Now, with the ability to exchange information very quickly, securely and reliably in the hands of a significant portion of society, we can alter the day to day 'moves of the game' we play to make the rules lead us naturally towards a society of sustainable high abundance.
