Many people have seen the parallels between accounting and some AI-related disciplines, like NNs. Some people have even implemented NNs on economic platforms like Excel.
Slightly more advanced methods utilize double-ledger accounting, as a cross-check to avoid making errors. However, the latest and greatest method(s) use quadruple ledger accounting to reach an "understanding" of the process. Most of the present articles on quadruple ledger accounting come from the World Bank, who now uses it to help understand the world economy. Here, ALL transactions move money one way, and products the other way. Each entity has separate accounting for money and products, and transaction pairs must each be for the same value. The same might work in an AGI setting, where the equivalent to "money" is the probabilities now being computed and handled as they now are, and the equivalent to "product" is the separately computed value of that information to the organism. Among other things, this would establish a clear "coin of the realm" as others have already discussed here on this forum - an economic model that is self-correcting due to economic constraints. You can sell more than the value of what you can produce, even in an information economy like NNs or AGIs. Anyway, for those who are pushing an economic approach to AGI, this might be an important piece of the magic needed to make it work. Any thoughts?
