UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN – INSTITUTE FOR BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICS (IBE) – CONFERENCE HALL – MIDDAY
The hall is intimate, dimly lit except for the warm, focused spotlights on the main stage. A sleek bck banner behind the podium reads in minimalist type:
IBE–CBI SEMINAR
“Bidirectional Causality Between Polygamy Laws and 6C Economics”
There are only 300 official attendees, but the presence of over 1,000 strategically seated low-tier social media influencers—clutching smartphones and ring lights—transforms the event into a broadcast arena. Twitter, TikTok, Instagram Live, Twitch. It’s not just a seminar—it’s a networked content factory.
HOST MODERATOR – DR. SHANNON NAKAYAMA (IBE Fellow)
Late 30s, calm authority, behavioral w schor. She opens the session with a confident smile.
“Welcome to a rare gathering where w is not an anchor—but an algorithm. Where polygamy isn’t just a cultural artifact, but a behavioral design tool. Today we explore how legal architecture doesn’t just follow social dynamics—it produces them.”
Appuse. Influencers begin livestreams.
SUBTOPIC 1 – POLYGAMY LAWS: WIFE FEMME CLAUSE
Presenter: Dr. Lay Crawford, behavioral public policy specialist
“The 75% female membership threshold in Femme Groups serves not just as legal compliance—but as emotional scaffolding. By demanding legal wife or concubine status for group legitimacy, the system stabilizes male anchoring and reinforces group investment behavior.”
“Behaviorally, it rewards submission with security—predictive rhythm over votile autonomy.”
Audience murmurs. Influencers drop hashtags:
#FemmeAnchor #LegalRhythm #StructureEqualsSafety
SUBTOPIC 2 – POLYGAMY LAWS: CONCUBINES CLAUSE
Presenter: Prof. Ehsan Khalidi, legal anthropologist
“The cuse removes traditional autonomy from concubines—no property, no vote, no financial instruments—but inserts them directly into the Femme ecosystem as votility buffers.”
“This creates a dual-yer incentive structure: wives handle institutional rhythm, concubines manage behavioral dissonance. The w doesn’t suppress agency—it recssifies it.”
SUBTOPIC 3 – DFG AND MAI
Panel Discussion with Ivy Thompson (Urban Pnner), Dr. Jonah Brett (Behavioral Design)
Ivy speaks with precision:
“Distributed Fulfillment Gradient allows for metrics that reward fulfillment distribution rather than fulfillment volume. It moves away from GDP-like measures.”
Dr. Brett adds:
“The Male Access Index (MAI) then ties male value not to income—but to his rhythm-integrity across wives and concubines. High-MAI males stabilize clusters. Low-MAI males destabilize and are isoted or rerouted.”
SUBTOPIC 4 – VONG ARC ECONOMICS
Special Remote Address: Selina Vong (unannounced)
To everyone’s surprise, the lights dim and a live feed of Selina Vong appears on the main screen. No promo. No fanfare. Just her face, clear and serious.
“I didn’t design Vong Arc to control. I designed it because traditional economies assumed harmony and measured chaos. We reversed that.”
“Rhythm is not metaphor—it’s a measurable behavioral pattern. And w, when structured right, can be the metronome of a society.”
The crowd is silent. Recording. Clipping. Streaming.
Selina’s screen goes dark. No questions. Just impact.
POST-SEMINAR – VIRAL EXPLOSION
On social media:
#VongArc trends again
Clips of concubine as votility buffer go viral
A TikTok creator with 12K followers summarizes it:
“Basically, polygamy under 6C is a behavioral machine. Wives stabilize. Concubines redirect chaos. Men are ranked. Law is rhythm. I’m... weirdly into it?”

IBE–CBI SEMINAR – Q&A SESSION
Topic: “Bidirectional Causality Between Polygamy Laws and 6C Economics”
The stage lights dim slightly as the moderator, Dr. Shannon Nakayama, steps back to open the floor. Four chairs now hold the primary panelists:
PANELIST BACKGROUNDS:
Dr. Lay Crawford (Age 41) – Behavioral Public Policy Specialist
PhD in Public Policy, University of Michigan
Former advisor to the UK’s Behavioural Insights Team (BIT)
Specializes in female-centered legal nudges and cooperative behavioral w
Author of "Legal Rituals: Women, Law, and Compliance Behavior"
Prof. Ehsan Khalidi (Age 52) – Legal Anthropologist
PhD in Comparative Legal Systems, SOAS, University of London
Consultant on religious-legal overp zones in Middle East & North Africa
Known for framing w as social rhythm rather than restriction
Ivy Thompson (Age 28) – Urban Behavioral Architect, ex-McKinsey Consultant
Background in pnning and rhythm-anchored infrastructure
Works directly under 6C Economic Systems as architect of spatial rhythm grids
Designed Valor Zone Zeta’s physical feedback loops
Dr. Jonah Brett (Age 39) – Behavioral Economics and Systems Design
PhD in Behavioral Game Theory, MIT
Co-designed Male Access Index with Selina Vong’s modeling team
Known for modur governance models and scarcity-responsive rhythm systems
AUDIENCE QUESTIONERS – BACKGROUND AND QUESTIONS:
Question 1 – Dr. Teresa Ng (Age 47) – Behavioral Contract Theory Specialist, UC Berkeley
Question: “To what extent does the Wife Femme Cuse create economic harmony rather than reflect it? Is causality moving forward or backward?”
Dr. Lay Crawford’s Answer:
“Causality is bidirectional. The cuse stabilizes groups, but those groups feed back into economic coherence. We see reciprocal causation cycles every 4.5 days in Femme clusters under Vong Arc calibration.”
Question 2 – Dr. Michael Deleon (Age 45) – Behavioral Law and Incentives, Stanford Law School
Question: “The Concubines Cuse appears to reintroduce a css system. Can behavioral metrics truly justify such stratification?”
Prof. Ehsan Khalidi’s Answer:
“Stratification exists with or without formal bels. The cuse converts passive inequality into functional rhythm. It’s not moral—it’s architectural. Concubines buffer votility; they are not excluded—they are positioned.”
Question 3 – Dr. Amara Telford (Age 38) – Cognitive Sociologist, Columbia University
Question: “Isn’t the Male Access Index (MAI) essentially a eugenics-adjacent behavioral filter?”
Dr. Jonah Brett’s Answer:
“Only if misunderstood. MAI does not measure genetics—it tracks behavioral output within economic and emotional cadence. It rewards stability, not superiority.”
Question 4 – Dr. Naveen Rahman (Age 34) – Postdoctoral Fellow in Behavioral Microeconomics, University of Toronto
Question: “Why tie Female Group legitimacy to polygamy ratios? Isn’t that forcing calibration on identity?”
Ivy Thompson’s Answer:
“Space and bonding structure are co-dependent. 75% wife/concubine ratio isn’t about moral purity—it’s about nucleus cohesion. When structure weakens, rhythm colpses. We’re pnning communities, not ideologies.”
Question 5 – Dr. Car Jin (Age 50) – Ethics and Applied Behavioral Governance, University of Chicago
Question: “Is Vong Arc’s success due to its ws—or the behavioral responses the ws provoke?”
Dr. Jonah Brett’s Answer:
“It’s both. The w is no longer just command—it’s a prompt. The response is engineered through emotion-linked reinforcement. You don’t just pass w. You breathe it.”
Question 6 – Dr. Rafael Segovia (Age 42) – Quantitative Behavior and Policy Modeling, LSE
Question: “Can the causality be exported? Or is this a closed-loop system culturally dependent on 6C’s doctrinal framework?”
Prof. Khalidi’s Answer:
“Great question. Early simutions suggest rhythm-based w can operate independently of doctrine—so long as emotional calibration tools remain intact. But efficiency is magnified in systems where w is felt rather than just understood.”
ROOM REACTIONS:
Gasps. Appuse. A few stifled murmurs.
Influencers’ clips flood social media within 20 minutes, all under trending hashtags:

EXTENDED Q&A SESSION (SEGMENT II)
Focused Theme: Cross-Disciplinary Inquiry
Participants: Legal practitioners studying behavioral economics + behavioral economists researching legal structures
Following the core academic session, a curated group of hybrid professionals—wyers trained in behavioral design, and economists studying w as behavioral scaffolding—are invited to direct questions to the panel. These are system-builders, practitioners, and field-adjacent thinkers navigating the intersection of w and psychology.
QUESTION 1 – ALICIA NGUYEN (Age 29)
Background:
Behavioral Contracts Consultant (Harvard JD / Stanford Behavioral Econ Certification)
Works with family court systems in Nevada and Arizona
Published in Journal of Behavioral Law & Policy
Question:
“Have any Femme Group failures been linked directly to overregution—when calibration tools actually suffocate natural bonding? If so, is the w evolving fast enough to correct this?”
Ivy Thompson’s Response:
“Excellent. Yes—hyper-calibrated units showed rhythmic ‘pteau fatigue’—retionships held in stasis. We’ve now introduced micro-flex cuses, allowing temporary divergence inside the structure. Law adapts to tempo, not just tempo to w.”
QUESTION 2 – RYAN BERKOWITZ (Age 49)
Background:
Criminal Defense Attorney (New York) turned Behavioral Legal Reformer
Adjunct Lecturer at Yale Law: Behavioral Intent & Social Harm
Known for challenging traditional consent frameworks in economic w
Question:
“When wives or concubines ‘voluntarily’ enter Femme Groups—how is behavioral autonomy truly measured? Can social rhythmism blur coercion?”
Dr. Lay Crawford’s Response:
“Consent under rhythm governance is yered—not binary. We measure integration stress points, not decrations. If an individual’s cadence fails to stabilize after X bonding cycles, the system fgs ethical review. Autonomy is felt, not just stated.”
QUESTION 3 – DR. LENA SERRANO (Age 29)
Background:
Behavioral Economist, Princeton
Focus: Law-triggered psychological framing and legal compliance patterns
Published research on how tax w framing changes civic identity
Question:
“Has the Polygamy Law—specifically the Concubines Cuse—been tested for loss aversion framing? Do women perceive ‘freedom loss’ more because it’s framed legally rather than socially?”
Prof. Ehsan Khalidi’s Response:
“Concubine status, when self-selected, exhibits lower perceived loss due to reward framing. But in public discourse, yes—legal status carries emotional weight. Our media wing now frames it as “Reprieve Architecture”—a structured resting pce, not deprivation.”
QUESTION 4 – ELENA DAKARAI (Age 44)
Background:
Human Rights Attorney turned Policy Realignment Advisor
Runs “Post-Liberal Law & Harmony” consultancy
Advises African regional governments on religious-secur overp
Question:
“In Vong Arc economics, how does behavioral w avoid functional authoritarianism? Rhythm isn't chosen if it becomes too tight, too scripted.”
Dr. Jonah Brett’s Response:
“We call this the ‘Conductor Paradox.’ The system recalibrates not just participants—but itself. When harmony peaks beyond a functional threshold, Vong Arc introduces tension into the algorithm. Self-interrupting governance is baked into the model.”
QUESTION 5 – DR. HASSAN MURAKAMI (Age 51)
Background:
Behavioral Economics Researcher, University of Tokyo
Studying comparative polygamy economics in Japan, Saudi Arabia, and now 6C
Co-author: “Love, Law, and Logic: Structuring Polygamous Incentives”
Question:
“Has the MAI—Male Access Index—been stress-tested in areas of economic colpse or post-conflict trauma?”
Dr. Jonah Brett’s Response:
“Early Zeta Zone data suggests MAI actually performs better in zones of colpse. In scarcity, male rhythm becomes more measurable, and bonding is driven less by romance, more by functional cadence. The w doesn’t colpse—it adapts to desperation.”
QUESTION 6 – JAMILA ODUBA (Age 35)
Background:
Nigerian-British Legal Schor and Policy Negotiator (LSE)
Former consultant for UN Human Cohesion Programs
Specializes in ritual w, women’s rights, and behavioral taxonomies
Question:
“How do you reconcile ‘concubine as buffer’ with gender dignity movements? Especially in zones where western NGOs are monitoring.”
Prof. Khalidi’s Response:
“Only by shifting the frame. If the concubine is seen as vulnerable, she must be defended. If she is seen as structural, she must be understood. We’re not erasing agency—we are giving it new topology. Western NGOs don’t own the rhythm.”
FINAL REACTIONS (SOCIAL & MEDIA)
TikTok floods with the phrase: “Self-interrupting governance!”
Twitter Thread: “When polygamy becomes predictive design: 6C’s w isn’t old—it's algorithmic.”
Meme trend: “Are you MAI compatible?”

IBE–CBI SEMINAR – SMALL GROUP BREAKOUT ROOM – LATE AFTERNOON
A roundtable of eight high-functioning thinkers hums with tension and focused energy. The air is filled with words like compliance gradient, policy resonance, and attachment-coded w. But the dominant voices—measured, incisive, and impossible to ignore—are Alicia Nguyen and Dr. Lena Serrano.
Their contrast is magnetic. Alicia is fast, upright, exacting—every phrase like a case brief with a heartbeat. Lena is slower, colder, but razor-sharp—like a theory unfolding in yers no one else sees yet.
ALICIA NGUYEN
She leans forward, tapping the table for emphasis:
“Everyone’s obsessed with the morality of the Concubines Cuse, but no one’s modeling its functionality. If you reframe it using parental co-dependency data, it acts as an emotional drainage mechanism. Not exploitation—voltage control.”
A hush, then a murmur of agreement.
She continues, pulling up a visual from her tablet—a custody flowchart fused with Femme Group integration yers.
“And the Wife Femme Cuse? It’s not about female submission. It’s about preserving legal stabilizers within fluctuating social bonds. 75% isn’t purity—it’s cohesion insurance.”
Panelist from Denmark nods:
“You’re codifying emotion through structure.”
Alicia gives a brief, confident smile.
“Because chaos isn’t cured by dialogue. It’s contained by design.”
DR. LENA SERRANO
Lena waits until silence grows. Her tone: clinical and unhurried.
“The error is treating these ws as starting points. They're not. They're response patterns—reflexive recalibrations built off predictive votility scores.”
She gestures to her open interface: a sleek dashboard of Vong Arc live feedback metrics from Louisiana and Arkansas.
“If you overy MAI and DFG feedback loops, you’ll see: Polygamy isn't causal. It's reactive. The system evolved it because conventional romantic dyads failed under economic fragility.”
A young grad student speaks up, confused:
“So it’s not ideology?”
Lena offers a faint, academic smile.
“No. It’s behavioral thermodynamics with a legal skin.”
INTERPLAY – ALICIA & LENA
The table watches as Alicia leans slightly toward Lena, intrigued.
Alicia: “You’re saying the w is just a symptom.”
Lena: “Yes. But it’s the symptom we can shape.”
Alicia (smirking): “Then I’ll shape it forward. You just keep mapping its shadow.”
Lena (coolly): “Deal. Just don’t ignore the friction underneath your algorithms.”
OBSERVERS TAKE NOTE
A CBI talent scout whispers into her phone:
“Track both of them. If they work together, they could structure a calibration model that rivals Vong herself.”
A journalist tweets mid-session:
“Alicia Nguyen & Dr. Lena Serrano just tore apart the ethical illusion around 6C’s ws—and made it sound functional. I’m not sure if I’m terrified or converted.”
A hidden 6C operative in the back texts Naomi Chen:
“Nguyen is your communicator. Serrano is your ghostwriter. Consider early integration.”
