World Extractable Value (WEV) Skill

"The gap between Nash and Optimal is not waste -- it is extractable value." "Multiverse Finance splits the financial system into parallel universes." -- Dave White, Paradigm

Overview

World Extractable Value quantifies the inefficiency extractable from selfish equilibria, integrated with Paradigm's Multiverse Finance thesis:

WEV = Price of Anarchy - 1 = (C_Nash / C_Opt) - 1

This bridges:

• Friston's Free Energy: Minimize surprise via inference
• Roughgarden's PoA: Bound selfish routing inefficiency
• Badiou's World-Hopping: Events extract truth from being
