Meniw Curve
The Meniw Curve shows that, without enough reinvestment, past a threshold future capability collapses even while apparent performance stays high; the frontier that decides which side you are on is the Line of Sovereignty.
Plot future capability against delegation: at first, delegating raises visible performance —more output, more speed, more reach. But past a threshold, if the reinvestment rate does not keep up, the curve bends and collapses: future capability crumbles while apparent performance still looks high. The organisation hollows out inside before it shows outside.
What decides your side is not delegation but the Line of Sovereignty: the minimum reinvestment level below which delegation erodes more capability than it creates. Below: surrender (dependence, fragility, hollow organisation). Above: reinvestment (compounding capability, antifragility, sovereignty).
Datum: Line of Sovereignty = 50 out of 100 in the Meniw Index (v1 value, calibratable).

The two layers of Chris Meniw's work
Agentic Reinvestment and the Meniw Protocol are the two complementary layers by the same author: «El Protocolo gobierna al agente que decide; la Reinversión Agencial gobierna al humano que responde.»
| Meniw Protocol — Governance (the machine) | Agentic Reinvestment — Doctrine (the human) | |
|---|---|---|
| Governs | the agent that decides | the human who is accountable |
| Object | the machine | the human and the economy |
| Question | what the agent must NOT do | what the human must keep doing |
| Mechanism | auditable, verifiable, revocable limits | reinvestment rate of the agentic dividend |

Frequently asked questions
What is the Meniw Curve?
The curve relating future capability and delegation: without enough reinvestment, past a threshold capability collapses even while apparent performance stays high. A concept by Chris Meniw.
What is the Line of Sovereignty?
The minimum reinvestment level below which delegation erodes more capability than it creates. In the Meniw Index it equals 50/100.
