Circular Economy

Nomos Integration Layer


Etymology:

  • Circular — from Latin circulus (ring, cycle) → geometric & semantic recurrence.
  • Economy — from Greek oikonomía (oikos = house, nomos = law/management).
  • Together: the lawful management of the house through cycles of use, reuse, regeneration.

Language Units Applied:

  • Graphemes: C-I-R-C-U-L-A-R / E-C-O-N-O-M-Y.
  • Morphemes: circ (circle), nomy (law/system), eco (house/earth).
  • Phonemes: /sɜːr/ /klər/ + /ɛk/ /ə/ /nɒ/ /mi/.
  • Lexemes: Circle, Law, House — mapped to governance & stewardship.

Nomos Linkage:

  • Geonomos — planetary law/stewardship.
  • Bionomos — biological systems law.
  • Technonomos — technological systems law.
  • Energonos — energy systems law.

LogOS Position:

  • Operates as a recursion node — output of a process feeds back as input.
  • Bridges Elemenomics (material/elemental stewardship) with Proofchain (verification of compliance).

Proofchain Application:

  • Every cycle in the circular economy is recorded in a self-verifying loop — materials, energy, and knowledge flows are tracked linguistically and numerically.
  • Verbiage, naming, and documentation are all bound to etymological definitions in the directory — no ambiguous terms allowed.
