This model explores a simple principle: shelter entitlement grows from accumulated productive value over time, but it can never exceed the value contributed into the system. In this prototype, Energy Credits are converted into annual housing capacity using a construction-cost model and a social allocation rule.
This version supports household-level modeling and a national scenario mode. It treats Energy Credits as a hybrid unit that can be benchmarked to real energy production, such as electricity, while still functioning as a broader proxy for productive economic and infrastructure output.
Energy Credits are a normalized unit of productive value. They may be anchored to real energy production, such as kWh, but in this model they represent a broader share of economic and infrastructure output used to support housing.
