The Fracture Clock
The dollar will not collapse. It will erode.
Time is the only asset.
Slow, unrelenting erosion does not announce itself on the calendar. It shows up as events that cannot be undone. The Fracture Clock tracks those events, so you can act on event time instead of waiting for a headline.

Calendar Time vs. Event Time
Markets and institutions report on the calendar: quarterly, annual, election cycle. Real change arrives on its own schedule. The Fracture Clock watches for three markers that an event has crossed a line.
Marker 1: Irreversibility
Action X leads to Consequence Y, Actor Z must respond, and a new equilibrium forms where the old one is unreachable.
Marker 2: Disproportion
The response is out of scale with the trigger, which signals that pressure had been building out of view.
Marker 3: Contagion
The change spreads across borders, markets, or institutions that had no direct part in the original event.
