TLBIC (Time-Limited Local Basic Income Credit) is a proposed basic income framework built on three core mechanisms: it expires after a few months to prevent hoarding, requires no application process (delivering support automatically before a crisis hits), and is restricted to the local economy for non-speculative use. Its structural aim is to alleviate despair—specifically addressing the systemic factors contributing to the nearly 20,000 lives lost to suicide in Japan each year.
Due to the constraints of free-tier AI tools—where long, multi-part texts often led to context limits or superficial feedback—I have restructured the proposal into three self-contained parts to facilitate clearer discussion:
(1) Main Document
(2) Appendix: “Examining Bottom-Up Governance”
(3) Supplement: “Why I Wrote the TLBIC Policy Proposal”
Update: The Main Document v11.0 is now complete, featuring a new Chapter 4: "Steering Capital from the Speculative Economy to the Real Economy."
I welcome your feedback and critical perspectives.

TLBIC (Time-Limited Local Basic Income Credit) is a proposed basic income system with three core mechanisms: it expires after a few months to prevent hoarding; it requires no application (support is automatically delivered before a person needs to ask); and it is restricted to the local economy and non‑speculative use. Its purpose is structural—to reduce the despair that comes from feeling there is no way out. This is one attempt to address the systemic despair that contributes to the nearly 20,000 lives lost to suicide in Japan every year.
Due to the resource constraints of free‑tier AIs—where complex multi-part texts caused the AI to hit its limits or give superficial responses—I've restructured the proposal into three parts, so each one is easier to read and discuss on its own:
(1) Main Document
(2) Appendix: “Examining Bottom-Up Governance”
(3) Supplement: “Why I Wrote the TLBIC Policy Proposal”
Update: I have added “The Dynamic Boundaries of the Gray Zone from a Legal Perspective” to Appendix 2, and “Prompt 5: The Cycle of Hatred and Questions About Human Worth” to the Supplement. I welcome your feedback.
One thing I can't verify myself: whether the English reads naturally to a native ear. If anything feels off or unclear, I'd genuinely like to know.

This is v10.0, and for the first time it includes concrete experimental design: "Chapter 5: Phase 1—Detailed Plan for a Small-Scale Pilot Experiment."
I'd particularly welcome feedback on the Phase 1 pilot design in Chapter 5, since this is new.

I've just published v9.0 of the Appendix ("Examining Bottom-Up Governance"), with a substantially expanded Section 4 on how to work more effectively with today's AI tools. I've also added a new section, "The Common Wisdom Humanity Has Repeatedly Discovered," to Prompt 4 of the v9.2 Supplement ("Why I Wrote the TLBIC Proposal").

Version 9.0 has now been completed, including a strengthened revision of the section “Integration of Volunteer Activities and Mutual Aid” in Chapter 2 of the main document. I would be sincerely grateful for any feedback from this community.
I am not a policy expert or an economist. I previously worked in a factory, and the loss of a colleague to suicide has remained a central motivation for this work. The proposal was developed almost entirely through long-term dialogue with multiple AI systems (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and DeepL).
Due to the resource constraints of free‑tier AIs—where complex multi-part texts caused the AI to hit its limits or give superficial responses—I have restructured the proposal into three distinct parts to facilitate clearer analysis:
(1) Main Document
(2) Appendix: “Examining Bottom-Up Governance”
(3) Supplement: “Why I Wrote the TLBIC Policy Proposal”
Since I cannot fully verify the linguistic nuances in languages I do not read, any feedback on where the text feels unclear or unnatural would be highly appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
