# econiac

**Thermodynamic information routing and economic gauge theory on the Pacioli manifold.**

Named after [MONIAC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MONIAC) (1949) — Bill Phillips's hydraulic computer that modelled the economy as a conserved flow system using tanks, pipes, and valves. `econiac` does the same with differential geometry, the Maslov-Gibbs partition function, and JAX.

> *"The economy is a flow network. Conservation laws are not optional."*

## What is econiac?

`econiac` is the Python implementation of the **Adelic Simplicial Architecture (ASA)** economic and financial frameworks:

- **Thermodynamic Information Routing (TIR)** — the Gibbs distribution as a universal routing primitive across economics, game theory, neuroscience, and computation ([Paper 294](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20237288))
- **Economic Gauge Theory (EGT)** — stock-flow consistency as a discrete gauge theory on the Pacioli manifold ([Paper 300](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20259495))
- **Financial Gauge Theory (FGT)** — exchange rates, yield curves, and credit spreads as connections and curvature ([Papers 295–299](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20242355))
- **Pacioli Combinator Library (PCL)** — a domain-specific language for financial computation that enforces conservation by construction ([Paper 306](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20262070))
- **Differentiable Agent-Based Macroeconomics (DABM)** — fully differentiable macroeconomic digital twins calibratable by gradient descent ([Paper 305](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20261945))

## Status

**0.0.1 — placeholder release.** Full implementation in progress.

## Installation

```bash
pip install econiac
```

## The MONIAC connection

In 1949, the New Zealand economist Bill Phillips built MONIAC: a hydraulic computer that modelled the British economy as a system of tanks, pipes, and valves, with coloured water representing money flows. Conservation was enforced physically — what flowed in had to flow out. It was a working analogue computer that correctly predicted macroeconomic dynamics.

`econiac` is MONIAC for the 21st century: the same conservation laws, the same flow network, but implemented with differential geometry (the Pacioli manifold), thermodynamic routing (the Maslov-Gibbs partition function), and automatic differentiation (JAX).
