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.”
