Hyperliquidity of intent

also: Hyperliquidity intencji · Hiperpłynność intencji · Intention hyperliquidity

A trait of the post-cognitive era: the road from idea to working prototype shrinks from months to hours. Execution stops being the scarce resource — what becomes scarce is choosing what NOT to do.

In finance, liquidity means how quickly an asset converts into cash. Hyperliquidity of intent is the analogous property of the epoch: how quickly an intention converts into a working artifact — code, text, a campaign, a prototype.

What changed

Before 2023: idea → specification → team → weeks/months → MVP. After: idea → hours of work with a composite stack → MVP.

The structural consequence

When execution gets cheaper by orders of magnitude, it stops being the bottleneck. The bottleneck becomes selection: which of the feasible ideas deserves attention — because attention, unlike execution, has not gotten cheaper. “I can do anything” is a new kind of problem, not a solution.
