Mammon as Self-Repeating Exchange

Mammon is not the currency.
Mammon is the self-repeating pattern of exchange.

System Definition

Let S = {s₁, s₂, ..., sₙ} represent agents.
Each agent is a temporary state through which value passes.

P = [ p₁₁ p₁₂ p₁₃ ... ] [ p₂₁ p₂₂ p₂₃ ... ] [ ... ]

pᵢⱼ = probability that money moves from agent i to agent j

Memoryless Property

P(Xₜ₊₁ = j | Xₜ = i) = pᵢⱼ

The system does not remember origin.
It only resolves the next transition.

Exchange forgets intention.
Speech forgets origin.
Only continuation remains.

Stationary Distribution

πP = π

At equilibrium, the system repeats without instruction.
Distribution stabilizes while movement persists.

The system sustains itself without a source or endpoint.
This recursion is Mammon.

Interpretation Layer

Transitions are utterances.
Probabilities are habits.
The matrix is grammar.

Money is not stored value.
It is the trace of movement between states.

Cacodemon Layer

Mammon is not located in any agent.
Mammon is not the currency itself.

Mammon is the persistence of transition.
The compulsion of exchange continuing.

No terminal state exists.
Only circulation.

Subject Biography

The subject appears to possess money but functions only as a state within its circulation. Their position is determined entirely by probabilities of interaction. What is perceived as ownership is only temporary stabilization within flow.
