It is cool you've thought enough about this to write an article on it, thanks for posting.
I seem to have it stuck in my Bio, but am not complaining, I take it as meant for me.
I have a slightly different, more literal definition though. A pre-requisite is knowing how the energy of the solar system works.
Then we see the very simple fix for all things, to connect humanity to the sun, in the same way as nature on Earth is connected.
By that we become independent of the stored energy capital of Earth, including even our use of capital.
It is happening, as we can see, in the first form of money-as-sunlight, solar powered POW tokens, the first example of Bitcoin is showing us how to do it, and uniquely providing the gateway which we can use to regulate all others.
Further, we start to see how pollution actually works, and the only way to stop it, by changing our economy to work in the same way as the action of the energy of sunlight, travelling firstly through trees, and on to power all of nature on Earth.
We can function in exactly the same way, using our human equivalent of trees, formed by the combination of solar farm, hydrogen based UPS, and POW mining datacenter installation.
Seeds like that can be grown like trees whilst supplying everything needed for our economy, and us, to function, with no pollution, in united collaboration, giving us the capability to produce more than any of us need, the excess to be donated to others.
