TLBIC (Time-Limited Local Basic Income Credit) is a proposed basic income framework built on three core mechanisms: it expires after a few months to prevent hoarding, requires no application process (delivering support automatically before a crisis hits), and is restricted to the local economy for non-speculative use. Its structural aim is to alleviate despair—specifically addressing the systemic factors contributing to the nearly 20,000 lives lost to suicide in Japan each year.

Due to the constraints of free-tier AI tools—where long, multi-part texts often led to context limits or superficial feedback—I have restructured the proposal into three self-contained parts to facilitate clearer discussion:

(1) Main Document

(2) Appendix: “Examining Bottom-Up Governance”

(3) Supplement: “Why I Wrote the TLBIC Policy Proposal”

Update: Revised the French Supplement from v10.1 to v11.1 and the French Appendix from v11.0 to v10.3. The English and Japanese editions have also been updated accordingly.

I welcome your feedback and critical perspectives.

As a non-native speaker, I would particularly appreciate any notes if any part of the English text feels awkward or unclear.
