✅ Article highlight: *Incentives in Structured Intelligence* (art-60-045, v0.1)
TL;DR:
Most serious systems already run on incentives — budgets, tariffs, subsidies, penalties, and scarce-resource allocation. The problem is that these usually live outside the runtime as opaque spreadsheets, billing rules, or political defaults.
This article sketches how to make incentives *first-class inside SI-Core*: attach *BudgetSurface* and *CostSurface* to GoalSurface, run *ETH-aware tariff experiments* under PoLB, and treat pricing / allocation as auditable structured decisions rather than hidden knobs.

Why it matters:
• makes economic trade-offs explicit instead of burying them in billing logic or policy spreadsheets
• prevents incentives from quietly fighting safety, fairness, or affordability goals
• lets tariff changes and budget-heavy actions be evaluated, simulated, and gated before rollout
• keeps pricing and allocation auditable with portable artifacts and normalized verdicts
What’s inside:
• *BudgetSurface / CostSurface* as typed attachments to GoalSurface
• *IncentiveLedger* for budgets, tariffs, exceptions, and compliance traces
• *PoLB modes for tariffs*: sandbox, shadow, and online rollout
• *ETH-aware A/B* for affordability and burden-by-income-band checks
• *Goal markets* for scarce resource allocation without reducing everything to tokens
• *Price discovery* as an E-Jump problem under welfare, fairness, and stability constraints
Key idea:
A serious intelligence runtime should not treat incentives as external afterthoughts. Budgets, tariffs, and price signals should be *observable, governable, and replayable* inside the same structure as safety and fairness.
