The Final Frontier of Value

Abstract

In the previous chapters we rediscovered an ancient truth: “You cannot step into the same river twice, because everything flows.” Situations that have been apparently static for years sooner or later are destined to flow toward the only two possible outfalls of the Position Game: a new Movement Game (an environmental shock), or the implosion of the sector — that is, the state we call the final frontier of value. A sector reaching this state, after many competitive cycles of innovation and imitation, is like a train that after many runs reaches its final station: the end of the line.
