The Post-Labour Sovereign Economic Flywheel
How Governments Must Redesign Their Revenue Architecture or Risk Losing It to Foreign Platforms

The Post-Labour Economy is not coming. It is already here. AI is eliminating the jobs that fund governments, at the precise moment governments need more money to support the people losing those jobs. Most governments are not moving fast enough. Some will not recover.
This whitepaper provides a framework — the Sovereign Economic Flywheel — that every government can apply to design a self-reinforcing revenue architecture for the Omni-Sentient Economy. It demonstrates that framework through two contrasting case studies: Singapore's Governance Supernode strategy and Australia's Energy-Intelligence Flywheel.
The paper includes ten specific policy recommendations covering the AI Labour Substitution Levy, the Human Dividend, AI as Public Utility, Mandatory Citizen Equity Allocation, and the Sovereign Flywheel Trust Infrastructure.
