BHLS Floor System — NexusOS Documentation

The Basic Human Living Standard (BHLS) guarantees every citizen a minimum floor of resources. The floor is enforced at the substrate level — it cannot be overridden by governance, contracts, or any economic actor.

Basic Human Living Standard

Monthly Floor: 1,150 NXT

Protected allocation categories:

Shelter — 350 NXT
Food & Nutrition — 300 NXT
Healthcare — 200 NXT
Transportation — 100 NXT
Communication — 100 NXT
Education — 50 NXT
Emergency Reserve — 50 NXT

Constitutional Protection

C-0002: Immutable Rights — "No transaction may reduce a citizen's balance below their BHLS entitlement."

Enforcement: the Lambda Gate Substrate rejects any transaction that would violate the BHLS floor. This cannot be overridden by governance and is hardcoded into Lambda Gate operations.

Funding Mechanism

Transaction Fee Pool (40%) — portion of all E=hf fees
Energy Harvesting Revenue (30%) — K1 infrastructure proceeds
Lambda Mass Recycling (20%) — recovered from dormant accounts
Governance Allocation (10%) — voted by Sigma consensus
