Primes¶
- Discounting (Present Value)
- Frictionless Benchmark Reasoning
- Corporate finance: Modigliani–Miller — firm value is leverage-invariant in frictionless markets; the real-world programme is the named-friction catalog of taxes, distress costs, agency costs, and signalling under asymmetric information.
This sourceProves capital-structure irrelevance in frictionless markets — the benchmark against which taxes, distress, agency, and signalling are catalogued.

- Liquidity
- Liquidity is the variable that captures, in a single dimension, the deviation of any real conversion process from the frictionless ideal.
This sourceFoundational capital-structure invariance result: under frictionless conditions, firm value is independent of financing mix. Provides the theoretical baseline against which liquidity (and other frictions) are measured as deviations from the frictionless ideal.
- Liquidity is the variable that captures, in a single dimension, the deviation of any real conversion process from the frictionless ideal.
- Zero-Force Null Baseline
- In corporate finance, the Modigliani-Miller theorem (no taxes, bankruptcy costs, asymmetric information, or agency costs) establishes capital-structure irrelevance, and the entire taxonomy of capital-structure theories is structured as MM-deviation analysis.
