This page originally began as part of The GDS GOV.UK CMS Solution ๐๐ป๐, but it took on a life of its own as I started adding the various ล ๐ลรล Documents to the menu and created pages like โ๏ธ T10T โ Laying the Tracks for Macroeconomic AI, and 2092b) What is Economic AI?๐ทโ๏ธ, and I created the document series:
Ask todayโs leading AIs โ GPT-4o, Gemini, Copilot โ what economic or macroeconomic AI is. Youโll get vague summaries about using AI to model GDP, inflation, unemployment, and economic behaviour โ but no cohesive theory, no defined discipline. GPT-4o even concedes the field barely exists at all.

What follows isnโt a rebuttal โ itโs a foundation. A clear proposal for what this field must become.
1. Economic AI involves simulating future economic states, and copiloting humanity and the planet toward those with maximum utility and stability. Itโs about shaping โ not predicting โ the future.
2. A core component in many simulations is ล ๐ลรล โ ล avings + ลevenue ร network รfficiency ร ลpin.
Where others attempt to forecast the future, since 2011 Sienna AI has aimed to shape it. Even before fully understanding AI, we developed the 87 Quintillion Histories model to simulate a vast array of potential futures โ and identify the path of optimal outcomes. This is Macroeconomic AI: a system designed to guide the planet toward A More Creative Capitalism โ shaping, not predicting, the future.
The backstory of ล ๐ลรล and The Ten Technologies โ T10T begins in November 2011 at S-World.biz, with the altruistic concept of the Ecological Experience Economy (EEE) and its early simulations of Cities of Science. A year later, in the US macroeconomic blueprint American Butterfly.org, Book 2, the logic was entangled with String Theory and government efficiency modelling (Sienna.gov). This vision evolved into The PQS: Predictive Quantum Software.
Its โquantumโ designation was inspired by the Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) transport code, originally developed during the Manhattan Project to simulate complex nuclear processes. Drawing from this foundation, PQS incorporated similar probabilistic simulation techniques to model economic systems โ leading to the conceptualisation of the Monte Carlo Quantum Probability Simulator (MCQPS).
Remarkably, a near-identical structure โ Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) โ was later adopted by DeepMind as the strategic core of AlphaGo in 2016. While our implementation was never quantum computing in the strictest sense, the underlying logic โ simulating decision paths through branching probability โ mirrored the method that helped build one of the most powerful AIs in history, four years later.
By 2016 โ the same year DeepMindโs AlphaGo stunned the world by defeating the Go world champion using Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) โ I was deep into designing and building S-Web 3 and its commercial software. At the same time, my passion for modelling business and economic systems through quantum theory inspirations (2), (3) revealed a circular economic logic built around the Predictive Quantum Software. Beginning with S-Web, this model spiralled clockwise through top-tier business algorithms, flowed through POP, and descended into virtual social and business systems, continuing into QuESC Mission Control.
Next, the loop returns clockwise from bottom right to top left.
QuESC (the Quantum Economic System Core) funnels into S-World UCS (Universal Colonisation Simulator) Game, which branches into two outputs. One generates its advanced simulation layer โ UCS Voyagers โ while the other powers the macroeconomic Angel City Simulations. Together, these complete the full circle of predictive planning, capital formation, and reinvestment โ as new ventures in new cities begin again using S-Web CMS and the TBS โ Total Business Systems. The journey resets for a new generation of users.
By 2017, the vision evolved into a full-fledged cosmology of economic logic: M-Systems โ An Economic Theory of Everything. Starting with the S-Web CMS Framework, it passed through the TBS algorithms. But this time, after POP, we encounter Paul Romerโs Charter City concepts โ The Theory of Every Business (Large Resort Developments and Industry). From there, it flows into the Virtual Networks, followed by S-World Film (2, 3) โ before arriving at the string theoryโinspired business logic of POP Super Coupling.
After Mars Resort One (2017), ล ๐ลรล returned as M-System 10, followed by QuESC, UCS, and the UCS Voyagers. These culminated in the multi-layered Angel City infrastructure โ concluding with the mysterious, still undefined M-System 16: Angelverses โ the economic operating system that completes the circuit and returns to M-System 1.
In 2018, after diving deep into economics, I began condensing the altruistic and theoretical physicsโinfluenced components of the macroeconomic model into the book A More Creative Capitalism โ the name inspired by a line in Bill Gatesโs 2007 Harvard commencement speech.
In the second half of the year, I began simulating ล ๐ลรล โ culminating in December with the Malawi History 2 Simulation. The worldโs lowest-GDP country was used as a hard target to test the systemโs potential. This groundwork modelled Malawiโs journey from almost Zero to One percent of global GDP between 2024 and 2051.
In 2019, the M-Systems diagrams were updated twice. First, Behavioural Economic Systems were linked to the S-World Film component. Then came an unexpected influence: Cosimo Yapโs LitRPG novel Sacrificial Pieces (Book 3 of The Gam3 series), introduced a powerful AGI named AngelWing, which redefined the final node in our framework โ transforming the label from โAngelversesโ to โAngelWingโ and shifting the focus from string theory to AGI.
AngelWing represented an unknown force โ a future AI so advanced it could orchestrate the spin cycle of the macroeconomic system. It was a metaphor waiting for technology to catch up.
We called this new graphic S-World AngelWing โ The M-Systems Economic Software Framework:
In 2019, with A More Creative Capitalism as a launchpad, I outlined a three-part book series conceptualised as The What, The How & The Why:
With Book 1 complete and the ล ๐ลรล simulations of Book 2 well underway, I turned my attention in late 2019 to Book 3 โ The Why. This volume would become the ethical and humanitarian cornerstone of the entire system โ exploring why we were building these technologies, and for whom.
From early visions like โAfrican Rainโ, a geoengineering initiative to reforest the Sahara; to โThe Yellowstone Lidโ, a protective structure designed to contain the supervolcano threat; and โMission Glieseโ, a speculative roadmap for interstellar colonisation โ since 2012, Special Projects had been woven into the logic of American Butterfly and S-World UCS โ Universal Colonisation Simulator.
Originally, the goal was economic longevity: to design projects with such enduring utility they could yield near-perpetual returns โ like engineering a โnever-ending bridge.โ But from 2015 to 2018, documented across AngelTheory.org, the lens shifted. By the time we reached A More Creative Capitalism the simple logic that Grand ลpin Networks (Cities) in locations in abject poverty were Special Projects, evolved the objective from imaginative theory into practical economic strategy.
By 2019, over 40 such initiatives had been outlined. Expanding this to 64 special projects was a natural next step. The number was chosen deliberately: 64 is 8 cubed โ a recursive nod to POPโs chaos-informed logic, and a symbol of balance between abstract theory and economic purpose.
During the ล ๐ลรล Malawi History 3 simulations โ which modelled a trajectory from 2024 to 2080 โ capital allocations were assigned to each of the 64 special projects, transforming vision into testable economic design. This process gave rise to the principle of Tax Symmetry.
That journey began in 2017 with the Mars Resort 1 thought experiment โ a testbed for self-sustaining economic colonies:
By the end of that year, Mars Resort 1 simulations had demonstrated how ล ๐ลรล could function inside self-taxing colonies. In 2018, Malawi โ with almost zero GDP โ served as a grounded analogue. In such an environment, traditional taxation was eclipsed by the networkโs ability to deliver meaningful economic output.
The logic was simple: the government outlines what it wants โ education, healthcare, infrastructure, and 61 other priorities โ and the network sets out to deliver them. Not by paying tax in currency, but by delivering outputs that fulfil those needs. In essence: the network pays tax in deliverables โ where public goods are generated through entrepreneurial infrastructure, aligned to decentralised public-private partnerships.
Inspired on the one side by Paul Roma's Growth Theory and on the other by Donella Meadowsโ Thinking in Systems philosophy, each project was designed to be net-zero and regenerative. 64 Reasons Why then became the sister doctrine to ล ๐ลรล โ laying the blueprint for net-zero cities and resilient infrastructure throughout the developing world. And by its very design, this system didnโt just address economic migration โ it could eliminate climate collapse and resource scarcity. In terms of philanthropy and effective altruism (EA) โ 64 Reasons Why ticks all the boxes
But given This journey was a journey of technology this really is Effective Accelerationism (e/acc) #Accelerate, #TheOnlyWayOutIsThrough, #MouthsToFeedWorldsToBuild.
ล is for ล avings โ written either: ล avings or just ล
ล is for ลevenue (including investment) โ written ลevenue or just ล
ร is for recycle-รfficiency, which is the percentage of money, say 90%, that is spent by one company in a network with a single central bank to another company in the same network with the same central bank. โ written recycle-รfficiency or just ร
ล is for a ลpin, the number of times the money is recycled from one network company to another and another in the same year. โ written ลpin or just ล
In 2020, with 64 Reasons Why complete, we focused on Book Two, which included extensive simulations dedicated to ล ๐ลรล. In Malawi history two we had simulated how S๐RES could take Malawi from zero to 1% of global GDP between 2024 and 2051, But this included a trade component that whilst reasonable could certainly be argued so in Malawi history 3 we took away the trade and built the model based purely on investment in the City, Many simulations were created. The Malawi History 3 videos start at number 26 and continue up to 43 on The Sienna AI YouTube Channel S๐RES playlist
Click here for the full version.
In 2024 a network of businesses has $6.32 billion in savings and revenue (ล & ล) of which 90% is spent on goods and services from other businesses or personnel in the same network.
Which at an 'ร' (recycle-รfficiency) of 90% increases the cash flow as follows;
The initial $6.32 + the recyled $5.68 billion = $12 billion.
However for this exercise, for History 3 (the simulation we are analyzing), we report only the pre ลpin income, which when some other items are added and taken away equals $5,685,975,000.
We will see this figure appear as the first entry on the 2024 to 2080 History 3 cash flow statement presented shortly
Now we apply ลpin (ล) to the 2025 figures . As before instead of spending the money once a year, we spend it twice creating $14.89 billion in cash flow. Plus, critically, $7.10 billion remains at the end of the year, and is transferred to 2026, this is called ล avings (ล ) or sometimes The Law of Conservation of Revenue
The following year (2026) ลpin increases to 3, so we spend the money three times in a year creating $26.85 billion.
Note the figures are effected by aditional in and out flows and they wront tally without them. To see the additional 'in and out flows' go to: 11.11__S-RES__BASIC
As part of the ล ๐ลรล Production, influenced by Peter Theil's Zero to One, a book that finally understood the benefits of network monopolies, A fourth book was added to the series called:
Although written out of sequence, these works eventually formed a coherent vision โ blending macroeconomic simulation, ethics, and systems engineering.
By 2021, a more accessible system was required โ leading to the creation of The Ten Technologies, where Technology 10 became the combinatorial explosion of the nine lower technologies โ the exponential agent of transformation.
Keeping the circular architecture, the top row begins with Technology 1: S-Web. Then Technology 2: business systems to manage S-Web-generated companies. Technology 3: distribution networks โ everything it takes to make a sale. Technology 4: S-World Film, where content becomes king.
On the right-hand side, beneath S-World Film, we find Technology 5: VSN โ Virtual Social Networks. Below that, Technology 6: UCS โ Everything as a Game. Gamification became simulation โ and ultimately, the foundation for our Freehistory Models, inspired by Feynmanโs sum over histories and Isaac Asimovโs psychohistory.
On the bottom row we begin to see the core of a Macroeconomic AI โ not theory, but an actual system thatโs been in development since 2011. Technology 7: S๐RES Financial Engineering. Technology 8: Net-Zero DCA Soft โ with special projects created through Dynamic Comparative Advantage. Technology 9: Grand Spin Networks โ evolving from simple city plans to national infrastructures built around S๐RES and VSN frameworks.
And then thereโs AngelWing. The misunderstood Technology 10 โ the combinatorial explosion of all nine lower systems when entangled with AI. In 2021, its purpose was still unclear. But by 2023, as GPT-4 began speaking fluently, the mystery resolved. M-System 16 โ AngelWing became the large language model itself โ the OS that closes the macroeconomic loop and begins a new ลpin of ล -ลรล.
There are millions of engineers and organisations who know more about the science of deep learning than we do. In 2010, Demis Hassabis, Shane Legg, and Mustafa Suleyman founded DeepMind. In 2015, OpenAI was born under Elon Musk and Sam Altman โ focused on recursive self-improvement and general intelligence. Their goal was the mind โ the AI itself.
But ours was the world the AI would live in.
No one was focused on rebuilding the infrastructure of capitalism itself โ cities, logistics, and global resource flows โ through decentralised logic, virtual design, and real-time economics. No one but Sienna Software.
Our view? The AI doesnโt just model economics โ it replaces inefficiency, rewrites logic, and regenerates capital at the core. Read more: ๐ต๏ธ UKRI Disruption ๐ฅ Prologue: โ๏ธ T10T โ Laying the Tracks for Macroeconomic AI.
Often โ the solution really is just money.
DeepMind famously said, โOur goal is to solve intelligence, and then use that to solve everything else.โ
Our approach since 2018: โCreate a more creative capitalism โ and then use that to solve everything else.โ
From Supremacy by Parmy Olson:
โAltman had an answer for anyone worried about money because while there was a tiny possibility that AGI might bring about apocalypse, there was a bigger chance it would usher in an economic utopia... He explained OpenAI would capture much of the worldโs wealth through AGI and redistribute it... $100 billion... then $1 trillion... then $100 trillion... He admitted he didnโt know how his company would do it. โI feel like AGI can help with that,โ he added.โ
To Sam Altman, OpenAI, and the effective altruists: If AGI is the mind, this is the map. These are the blueprints for how to equitably distribute wealth, without losing dignity, employment, or purpose.
Start here: $1039 Trillion GDP Simulation โ the macroeconomic path built in 2021.
Ask todayโs leading AIs โ GPT-4o, Gemini, Copilot โ what economic or macroeconomic AI is. Youโll hear variations of the same thing: the use of AI to analyse, forecast, optimise, and simulate economic trends. GPT-4o admits the field doesnโt really exist yet. Gemini and Copilot give what youโd expect from stitching together โeconomicโ and โAIโ โ modelling GDP, inflation, unemployment, and financial decision systems.

But none of them describe this:
Economic AI uses ล -ลรล โ ล avings + ลevenue ร network รfficiency ร ลpin โ to increase GDP.
In the 10 Technologies framework, AI is the combinatorial explosion of the nine lower technologies.
The backstory of the Ten Technologies begins in November 2011 at S-World.biz, with the altruistic concept of the Ecological Experience Economy (EEE) โ a macroeconomic system designed to guide humanity for the next 14 billion years. One year later, this vision evolved into PQS: Predictive Quantum Software โ a proposed logic engine for economic simulation built on entangled networks and string theory principles.
Four years later, a deeper understanding of quantum mechanics revealed a circular economic design: starting with S-Web, it spiralled clockwise through top-tier business systems and down into scalable city-building algorithms โ completing a loop of predictive planning, capital formation, and reinvestment.
By 2020, that loop had evolved into a full-fledged cosmology of economic logic: ล -ลรล returned as M-System 10, followed by QuESC, UCS simulations, and the multi-layered โAngel Cityโ infrastructure โ culminating in the mysterious and still undefined M-System 16: AngelWing.
In the M-Systems diagrams, AngelWing represented an unknown force โ a future AI so advanced it could orchestrate the spin cycle of the macroeconomic system. Named after Cosimo Yapโs AI in The Gam3, it was a metaphor waiting for technology to catch up. At the time, we didnโt know what it was โ only that it was essential.
From 2017 to 2021, extensive simulations were dedicated to ล -ลรล (S๐RES), its predictive cycles forming the engine room of macroeconomic growth. It became so integral, weโve since given it a dedicated dropdown menu. Explore that menu to grasp the full power of S๐RES.
Thereโs a world of information in โA More Creative Capitalismโ (2018), and more recently in How ล -ลรลโข Generates US$ 1039 Trillion by 2080. But for now, what matters most is understanding the foundation: the first of the nine lower technologies.
Technology One is S-Web VC โ the CMS infrastructure accessed via vocal command. This is where it all began. All macroeconomic systems, from M-System 1 through to AngelWing, sit upon this data-management layer.
In 2020, it was time for a simpler, more accessible expression of this design: The Ten Technologies, where the 10th would become the combinatorial explosion of the nine others โ the exponential agent of transformation.
What you're looking at on the bottom row is the foundation of a MacroEconomic AI โ not in the abstract, not in theory โ but something weโve been building since 2011, long before โAIโ became the buzzword.
And so, when GPT-4 finally began to speak clearly in 2023, it shouldnโt have been a surprise to hear that M-System 16 โ AngelWing โ the economic operating system, which returns macroeconomic cities back to M-System 1 for another ลpin of ล -ลรล, would turn out to be the communicative power of a large language model AI.
Having spent 2002โ2010 developing S-Web 1, from this base we designed eight more interlinked technologies โ long before we knew what the missing piece was. That missing piece was AI โ the misunderstood 10th technology.
It was a shock to find weโd built the entire foundation for an economic system โ and what we lacked was only the final cognitive layer. AI was the closing loop. The combinatorial explosion that turns infrastructure into capital โ and capital into progress.
And for anyone looking at the 32x GDP โ like itโs a doomsday machine, that will just destroy the world quicker, take a good, hard look at Technology Eight: Net-Zero DCA Soft.
Read: Ripple Effects and Elephants (2018), and 64 Reasons Why(2020).For now, we return to our main subject S-Web 6 VC AI CMS โ Stronger UKRI Validation. But do so with the understanding that this isnโt just a new CMS โ it is the visible surface of an innovation ecosystem with over a decade of design beneath it.
There are millions of engineers and organisations who know more about the science of deep learning than we do. In 2010, Demis Hassabis, Shane Legg, and Mustafa Suleyman founded DeepMind. In 2015, OpenAI was born under Elon Musk and Sam Altman โ focused on general intelligence and recursive self-improvement. Their goal was the mind โ the AI itself.
But ours was the world the AI would live in.
We only began integrating AI, via Azure, in 2024 โ when we realised that what weโd been designing for over a decade was theoretical... until it could be powered by the cognitive breakthroughs made by DeepMind, OpenAI, Meta, and others.
So no โ itโs not surprising that AI models today donโt yet understand what Economic AI really is. They define it as a tool to help existing economics work better.
But what weโre saying is something far more radical:
The technology becomes economics. The AI replaces economic inefficiency โ not by modelling it, but by rewriting it. We make sustainability possible not by lowering costs, but by building an economy strong enough to afford what matters.
See: ๐ต๏ธ UKRI Disruption ๐ฅ Prologue: โ๏ธ T10T โ Laying the Tracks for Macroeconomic AI
Across 2018โ2021, eight key publications helped shape the macroeconomic foundation that would become T10T. The framework began with four core books, conceptualised as The What (our software inventions), The How (economic systems and city models), The Why (purpose and responsibility), and The Future (our response to Zero to One by Peter Thiel).
Standard cement is three times cheaper than its net-zero alternative. Most governments โ even when they know this โ keep buying the cheap version. Instead of giving up and choosing whatโs unsustainable, we raise the capital required to choose better. Thatโs the goal of A More Creative Capitalism โ to afford what matters.
And for those on the other side of the aisle: see ล ๐ลรล & The City โ thatโs how you reverse economic migration. By building vibrant, local economies, powered by meaningful employment, you make it so people no longer need to leave home to survive. Thatโs how you stabilise GDP while solving climate collapse.
Often โ the solution really is just money.
DeepMind says: solve intelligence and it will solve everything else. And we agree โ eventually. But until AGI arrives โ and while Sam Altman openly admits thereโs no economic strategy yet for that promised infinite wealth โ we believe something else is needed.
Between 2017 and 2022, I wrote and recorded over 2,000 pages exploring this different angle. Most nights I would dream in layers โ simulations, theories, LQG, cities โ entire operating systems in my sleep. I havenโt yet gone back to fully trace the capital flows described in these books. But from personal, immersive experience: the economic foundation is already there. Hidden in plain sight.
Right now, UKRI's innovation framework is fragmented, inefficient, and failing to realise its full potential. Its ยฃ8 billion annual budget is scattered across hundreds of disconnected projects, each treated in isolation, never truly contributing to something greater than the sum of its parts.
But what if it did?
What if, instead of funding a collection of disjointed experiments, UKRI operated like a master architectโcurating, connecting, and entangling every funded project into one singular, world-changing vision?
Thatโs what Sienna AI and S-Web 6 can enable.
Take medical AI. A while ago, I spoke with a multi-competition-winning company developing AI-powered scanning technologies. Their work was impressive โ but it was just one of many teams worldwide doing the exact same thing.
Will their work lead to a breakthrough? Maybe. Will it be patentable? Probably not. Will it be remembered in five years? Unlikely.
But now imagine if all of these grant-winning medical AI projects โ every fragmented piece of UKRI-funded research โ were brought together into something truly revolutionary.
Imagine if the technology developed in these projects wasnโt just buried in academic PDFs, but actively deployed into a national, AI-powered healthcare system.
Consider Stage 16 of GP-AI Gatekeeper โ a โfutureโ concept where patients receive their scan results before theyโve even stood up. Not in a decade. This year.
The scan itself takes seconds. The data can instantly be fed into LLMs โ potentially trained on models UKRI already funded. The results can be interpreted in real time. The only thing stopping this is the lack of integration, ownership, and vision.
Right now, it canโt happen. Because UKRI doesnโt own the technology it funds. It doesnโt unify its investments. It doesnโt think in ecosystems.
And thatโs not a missed opportunity โ thatโs a fundamental failure in national innovation strategy.
With Sienna AI (S-Web 6), the UKRI ecosystem could be transformed. Not with a basic CMS we outperformed in 2002 โ but with a platform built for collaboration, continuity, and AI-driven growth.
This isn't just about healthcare โ it applies to every sector UKRI touches.
And yet, thereโs still no searchable database of funded researchers. No way to query who can code LLM integrations. No way to find someone who can replicate foundational models like DeepSeek or work with OpenAI APIs. Despite funding thousands of projects, UKRI still lacks a discoverable talent network.
Why? Because the system is designed to silo. Whether by oversight or by design, it ensures that the same groups win repeatedly โ with little collaboration, minimal accountability, and no path to large-scale transformation.
With Sienna AI and the OKR system, the UK could do what no country has done before: build an AI-first, collaboration-driven, fully integrated innovation ecosystem.
One that doesn't just fund ideas โ it grows them. One that doesn't just publish outcomes โ it tracks them. One that doesnโt leave results to chance โ it guides them through data and design.
This would be a global export product โ not just for the UK, but for every innovation economy.
Because a system like this doesnโt exist anywhere else.
With Sienna AI, UKRI wouldnโt just fund projects โ it would fund the future.
This isnโt about better grant forms. This is about building the ecosystem that makes world-changing breakthroughs inevitable.
This is how the UK stops lagging behind.
This is how the UK leads.
๐ The question isnโt whether UKRI should do this.
๐ The question is: how long will they wait before they realise they must?
