The Salvation Army Circuit
Reciprocal Value Systems: Circuit Topology A closed-loop system sustains function when value flows in both directions across all nodes. A transactional system extracts value at the point of exchange and terminates the circuit. The distinction determines longevity. Case: Multi-Node Service Organization One organization type — the long-term social service provider — demonstrates this topology clearly. The circuit includes: recipient node, labor node, community service node, staff node, donor node. Each node inputs value and receives value in a different form. ...
