Teaching 013 — Demand, Supply, Availability

Context
Most models stop at demand vs. supply.
The ternary model recognizes a third element: availability.
A system can have strong demand and strong supply, yet collapse if access is hoarded, gated, or fragmented.
The Triad
-
–1 = Demand
What mortals want, the pull of need and desire. -
0 = Supply
What is produced, provided, or generated. -
+1 = Availability
The ease of access, the true friction point.
Teaching
High demand + high supply ≠ flow if availability is low.
High availability + no demand = noise.
Supply without demand or availability is wasted surplus.
Balance comes only when all three are held together:
demand calls, supply answers, availability opens the gate.
Parable
A village has water wells:
- Demand is high in summer.
- Supply is plentiful underground.
- But if the wells are locked by a few, or blocked by rocks, the people still thirst.
Lesson: demand and supply mean nothing if availability is broken.
Covenant
“Flow exists only when demand, supply, and availability move as one.”
