Core classification and definition · Resource and Value Conversion Failure

Resource and Value Conversion Failure

The affected flow runs through attempt → result → cost → safety → next-goal; its limiting point is the economy commerce settlement handoff.

Currencies, assets, products, or inputs do not convert reliably into utility or residual value.
