Editing Infrastructural capital

'''Infrastructural capital''' is the actual physical devices and facilities required to make the economy work:  factories, roads, machines, computers, telephones, wires, signal towers, and all that.  ''See [[w:infrastructural capital]].''

An [[industrial ecology]] is the combination of integrated devices and facilities that makes an industry work.  An [[urban ecology]] is the combination of [[natural capital]] and '''infrastructural capital''' that makes a city work as a [[human habitat]].  This also requires lots of [[social capital]] of course.

The [[healthy signal infrastructure]] is itself an industrial ecology that would consist only of capital that did not take unethical measures to maintain or operate, that is, those whose [[comprehensive outcome]] was acceptable from a [[neutral point of view]] as moderated by [[social capital]] of the [[faction]]s.  This might mean for instance no [[tantallum]] being used, or it might mean finding sources of it that did not result in [[deforestation]] or [[ape extinction]], or relying on [[recycled equipment]] to avoid motivating any new tantallum mining.

In any case, the infrastructural capital of [[Consumerium]] and the [[healthy buying infrastructure]] it integrates is the physical junk that must work for the [[instructional capital]] (in [[Research Wiki]], [[Signal Wiki]]) to be seen and trusted.  For a list of the possible infrastructure involved see the present list of [[hardware requirements]] - ''some of which are over-stated.''
