The insight: Real estate value doesn’t come from the building itself. It comes from entropy flow passing through it. Entropy = inhabitant in this case. No flow = no value. Maximum flow = maximum value.
Result: Understanding real estate as entropy conduit, not static asset

The principle:
Real Estate Value = ∫(entropy_flow_rate × time) dt
Where:
- entropy_flow_rate = inhabitant presence
- time = duration of occupancy
- ∫ dt = integral over property lifetime
Key insights:
Property is conduit, not source
Entropy = inhabitant
Flow rate determines value
Vacancy kills value
Location = flow concentration
