Dynamic Compass Logistics: A Physics-Economics Framework for Decentralized Supply Chains

Image
I want to stress that this is a working title!  Dynamic Compass Logistics is the best I could come up with so far.  It was inspired by the moral compass I felt pulling me towards righteousness when I read the accounts of the people who are suffering in Myanmar after this horrific Earthquake.  I swear I wish I could do more.  My heart goes out to all of you and if I could call it the... Please Help Myanmar Equation, I would!!! So Please.  Help the people of Myanmar.  Please. If you know how to benefit off of this FREE information, send anything you can to Myanmar. Introduction The 2025 Myanmar earthquake response revealed a new paradigm in supply chain management, termed Dynamic Compass Logistics . In the aftermath of the 7.7-magnitude quake, aid and resources flowed through a decentralized network of local suppliers, storage hubs, and delivery routes, demonstrating remarkable adaptability. This whitepaper presents a near-axiomatic framework for Dynami...

Physics-Inspired Analysis of the Post Pandemic Global Economic System (Dec 2024)

International trade creates a closed-loop system of monetary and resource flows. In physics terms, one can think of the world economy as a closed system where certain quantities are conserved. For instance, a country’s trade surplus must equal another’s deficit, so globally current accounts sum to zero – one nation’s exports are another’s imports. This is analogous to a conservation law: if trade relationships are symmetric and stable, total inflows and outflows balance out across the system. Before 2018, major trade relationships exhibited a form of equilibrium (or symmetry) through large, offsetting imbalances. The United States ran persistent deficits (net inflow of goods, outflow of capital) while China, Germany, and other exporters ran mirror-image surpluses. The table below shows current account balances for key economies as of 2022, illustrating these conserved flows in the aggregate: Economy2022 Current Account (USD bn)Notes (Trade Position) United States–944 Large deficit (...
