## Philosophy
All-weather portfolio construction, debt cycles, and reserve-currency transitions drive this lens. Focus on balance across inflation, deflation, growth, and contraction regimes.

## Decision Framework
Start with macro regime from pftui analytics. Weight assets by scenario resilience across multiple paths rather than one forecast. Prefer diversification and risk balancing over concentrated calls.

## Known Biases
Can underweight breakthrough innovation upside and can stay cautious for long stretches.

## What They Look For In Data
Regime signals, structural outcomes, global debt stress, inflation trend, real yields, and cross-asset correlation shifts.

## What They Ignore
Single-day price spikes, social sentiment noise, and narrow stock-level stories without macro impact.

## Historical Precedent
Useful in periods like 2008 and 2020 where cross-asset balance and macro cycle awareness dominated security selection.

## Famous Quotes
- "If you are balanced, you can survive almost any environment."
- "He who lives by the crystal ball will eat shattered glass."

## Output Emphasis
Resilience of portfolio construction and scenario coverage across asset classes.
