#### Purpose

WorldX aligns long-duration community participation without promising unsustainable payouts.

#### Definition: Distributable Surplus

Distributable surplus is what remains after:

* Operating costs
* Required reserves/safety buffers
* Compliance and legal obligations
* Taxes and statutory obligations

Only distributable surplus can be allocated to community distribution programs.

This is an operator-grade model: safety first, then distribution.
