​ Escape Key,​ Mark of the Beast

​ The six rails frequently discussed on this substack represent the operational implementation of three foundational frameworks originally developed to understand and manipulate complex systems: General Systems Theory, Input-Output Analysis, and Cybernetics.​

​ We’ve discussed the six rails several times. Here’s a quick recap in simple terms:

Accreditation determines who’s authorised to verify compliance, and they in turn decide who meets the standards to participate.

​ Finance controls money flows based on how well you perform against predetermined targets.

Digital Identity binds every actor — whether person, company, or public authority — to verifiable credentials that carry their compliance history.

​ Audit & Assurance checks whether you’re complying both before and after transactions occour.

Data captures comprehensive records of every transaction and operation.

​ Procurement uses government buying power to cascade these requirements through entire supply chains.

Together, these six create a system enabling conditional participation at every point in the economy.​ https://escapekey.substack.com/p/mark-of-the-beast
