A classroom price that answers a tight loop. Not Ledger, not coinage, not play.
Educational mechanism-design sketch. Not Concordia’s economy and not a play system.
Drop a loop’s production. The toy credit price rises; the demand index falls. The elasticity is invented for the slider. The civic idea — set incentives so private choices still protect a shared budget — is Earth economics (mechanism design / reverse game theory). It is a classroom cousin of water tariffs and congestion charges, not a hidden Concordia law.
Concordia’s actual coinage ladder, deeds, and property fights live on other wiki pages. Do not mix them with this index-100 toy. Background: Mathematics · Control. Closed-loop ecology (the physical budget these prices pretend to protect): Closed-loop ecology.
Not Ledger. Not coinage. Not Yellow Pages. Not a play economy. Not an instruction to punish luxury showers. Not a Caregiver policy. 2490 readers can treat it as a Museum diagram that moves.

When a closed loop produces less water, power, or food, this toy raises a “credit price” and lets demand fall. It is reverse game theory as a classroom slider — not Ledger, not coinage, not a play economy, and not how Concordia rations anything in 2490.
| Loop | Credit price | Demand index |
|---|---|---|
| Water | 1.00 | 100 |
| Power | 1.00 | 100 |
