“The initial meeting two days ago with Aaron at the Emeriti
National Headquarters (posing as the Swiss National Museum), went exceedingly
well. Sara reviewed Emeriti financial records, historical chronologies and relationships with significant political, spiritual, and
intellectual figures within diverse disciplines, but focused on the financial
records. She was particularly interested
in piecing together the overall scheme developed by the early Emeriti to create
a number of discrete revenue streams that would merge into what is now known as the
Emeriti Central Pension Fund, or ECPF.
The fund grew at a slow pace during the early years because compound
interest was frowned upon at the time.
However, during the late 17th Century, early banking attracted
the attention of the Emeriti, whose prime directive was to facilitate Pension
Enlargement. However, one need not
possess a PhD in Forensic Accounting as did Sara, to recognize how inflation
would erode any optimistic expectations of asset growth through compound
interest instruments offered by Banks, then or now.

As she sat pouring over her notes in a café at the
edge of the Limmat River as it flowed briskly northward from Lake Zurich
in the early June afternoon sunlight, she began to ponder the significance of
the early writings that focused upon Pensions, Water, Air, Earth and Fire. Could there be a connection between the four
Emeriti elements and their concept of what we now call “recurring revenue,” or
“cash flow?” The inventions and products
produced and sold by the Emeriti were certainly defined by categories such as
stone, water, sun and fire, or wind. The
Greeks had a fifth element that they called “aether” or “ether,” referring to
the unchanging cosmos or atmosphere breathed by the Gods on Olympus. Perhaps the concept of an unshakable Pension
was derived from such early ideas………………….”
