6.1.3 GPPTO (Gross Positive Problem Transformation Outcomes)

The Measure of Efficacy

Not all solutions are good. Many transformations create immediate negative displacement. For example, burning coal "solves" the localized energy problem but creates the global climate HUMP.

GPPTO measures the throughput of the system. It calculates the ratio of transformations that result in a genuinely Positive Vector versus those that create negative displacement elsewhere. It proves whether your PTO engine is truly generative or simply destructive.

Formula: Total Transformations minus Negative Displacement Events.
