# Classification: Ground Rent Tax

## Entity Type

Institution

## VSM System

S3

## Type Rationale

Ground Rent Tax is a socially constructed rule system that governs how society extracts revenue from landowners through a specific taxation mechanism.

## VSM Rationale

This tax operates as a management tool for resource allocation, directing funds from private landowners to public coffers as part of the sovereign's operational control over fiscal resources.
feat(example): add L2 classifications for 823/988 WoN entities (S3.4) Batch classification via OpenRouter (claude-sonnet-4). 165 entities remain unclassified due to credit exhaustion; incremental skip means a follow-up run will complete them automatically. Type × VSM matrix (823 entities): S1 S2 S3 S3* S4 S5 Element 86 75 58 21 43 32 (315 total, 38%) Process 39 42 37 17 67 24 (226 total, 28%) Institution 4 12 30 24 . 52 (122 total, 15%) Principle 3 7 15 2 43 32 (102 total, 12%) Relation 2 14 5 5 22 10 (58 total, 7%) Matrix fill: 29/30 cells (Institution/S4 empty — expected) Metrics updated: type_entropy=2.0936, vsm_type_matrix_cells=29 Also: - BatchEvaluator gains delay_seconds param for rate-limited providers - classify CLI gains --rpm option (--rpm 10 for Gemini free tier) - history.write_metrics_file now handles non-float metric values (type_distribution is a dict, was crashing round()) - run_entity_classification forwards delay_seconds to BatchEvaluator - classify-links and graph commands added by user (entities --by-type, graph --format mermaid/dot, classify-links for Relation enrichment) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> 2026-02-23 12:49:11 +01:00			`---`
