COSIGO™ Value
Continuity-Based Economic Framework
COSIGO defines value independently from price. It establishes a continuity-based system of economic measurement anchored in physical silver rather than fiat quotation or speculative fluctuation.
1 COSIGO corresponds to 1 milligram of physical silver. This relationship provides a stable unit of reference for measurement, accounting, and value continuity across time.
Practical value anchors, including the standardized fresh egg reference, are documented in the anchor clarification below and in deposit records.
This namespace serves as the canonical reference for COSIGO value logic, silver anchor, measurement principles, and continuity-based economic design.
Market quotation is shown above. COSIGO measurement is calculated below.
Value vs Price
COSIGO separates value from price.
Value is the persistent economic measure anchored in physical reality.
Price is the temporary market expression quoted in fiat or exchange terms.
COSIGO measures value. Markets generate price.
Measurement Principle
The COSIGO framework treats value as a measurable quantity rather than a floating narrative.
- Unit: COSIGO
- Reference: physical silver
- Granularity: 1 milligram
- Purpose: continuity-based economic measurement
Scope
- Value versus price separation
- Continuity-based valuation
- Physical silver anchoring
- Non-fiat economic measurement
- 1 COSIGO = 1 mg silver
- Unit-of-value design
- Stability and persistence modeling
- Value transmission systems
Silver Anchor
Physical silver is used as the continuity anchor because it is durable, divisible, scarce, globally recognized, and historically monetary.
In the COSIGO system, silver is not merely a trading commodity. It is the physical measurement basis that stabilizes the unit.
Anchor Clarification
During early development of the COSIGO system, preliminary references suggested a value near 21 mg of silver per fresh egg. This estimate was derived from a limited sampling of historical data.
As research expanded across broader timeframes and modern market observations, the long-term average relationship between eggs and silver was found to be closer to ~88 mg of silver per egg.
To provide stability, clarity, and simple accounting within the system, COSIGO standardized the anchor at:
1 fresh egg = 100 COSIGO
This rounded value provides a practical reference point while remaining consistent with historical purchasing power relationships between silver and basic food staples.
As additional data improves precision, COSIGO anchors may be refined while maintaining continuity with real-world goods and human labor.
