Hi. Have a Great Day

Time to take a good look at the conditions of our beloved New York.
What do you imagine the future to be?

I created this website, Mamdanimeter.com, to give us a scientific look at current and evolving dynamics through the prism of three core Economic Doom Loops and one overarching Institutional Doom Loop:

Economic Doom Loops (Technical System Loops)

  1. Sovereign Solvency — DL1 (Debt and Entitlements)
  2. Credit Expansion — DL2 (Private Credit Deterioration)
  3. Financialization — DL3 (Speculation / Asset Extraction)

Institutional Doom Loop (Cultural / Governance Loop)

  1. Institutional Integrity — DL4 (Trust, Competence, and Legitimacy)

The Institutional Doom Loop does not compete with the other three; it governs, amplifies, or restrains them.It is the meta-loop — the civic operating system that determines whether the other three loops accelerate into crisis or stabilize into reform.The actions of our public officials can be scored on which Doom Loop they impact and how significant that impact is. One of the Doom Loops is likely to fail first and take the other two with it (signified by a severe drop in the Stock Market). This web site endeavors to create three blocks:

  1. Living Book 
  2. Work Room
  3. Mamdani Meter Room

Critical information entering the site at the Work Room will be deciphered and transferred to either the Living Book or the Mamdani Meter Room where meters show how the information is rated (communal vs. capitalism)(unhappy to happy) and composite scores three rows (DL1, DL2, and DL3) compiled to generate the composite (4th row) scores of each row above it. The Living Book will host articles that clearly delineate the boundaries of the Doom Loops and allow the viewer to focus on those differences and how policies and speeches impact the respective operating systems in real time. Hopefully from the study of NY we may gain valuable insight into the same dynamics that have consequences on Our Fragile Republic,  title of the Living Book.
