The Caste Ladder — Demand-Side Stratification (Six Money-Defined Rungs)
Idea
A six-rung sorting of the population by documented legal wealth thresholds — from the scored mass below $1M, through investor tiers unlocked at $1M, $5M, $10M, and $100M-plus, up to an unauditable sovereign top — where each threshold legally opens access the rungs below cannot get. The entry stresses it was built by following actual money and legal cutoffs rather than inventing categories, and deliberately names no one as holding the top rung.
The engine's definition — word for word
[Report #114 — Caste Ladder] The population-side counterpart to the Technate Stack (#115). Six rungs boundaried by documented capital/legal thresholds (Scored Mass <$1M / Accredited $1M / Qualified Purchaser $5M / ECP $10M / QIB $100M+entity-opacity / Sovereign Apex unauditable). De-freezes the Admin/User binary (#3); the Exemption Fork (#146) is the gradient that scales with capital. Built by following the money, not by imposing a number. See nodes caste_ladder + the rung nodes. Held; no apex holder named. [web-checked Jun 18 2026]
