Imagine every transaction in the world forming a pathway, and then visualize the web those create. Like how the world wide web is the web of information, or how the web 2.0 and the social web is the web of social connections.
The theory is then that "transaction pathway webs are an untapped resource",

That "web-of-consumption" or "web-of-transactions" or web-of-growth could then be used as a map of how to distribute credit in a P2P basic income system.
These webs are formed from transaction-pathways that I call dividend pathways, and these pathways can be implemented in a smart contract on Ethereum with the ERC20 standard using just a few lines of code.
function transfer(address _to, uint256 _value) {
/* Calculate tax */
uint256 taxCollected = _value * taxRate / 1000;
/* Verify Proof-of-Individuality */
bool isHuman = proofOfIndividuality.verifyPOI(msg.sender);
/* Create the dividend pathway */
dividendPathways[_to].push(dividendPathway({
from: msg.sender,
amount: _value,
timeStamp: now,
isHuman: isHuman
}));
/* Distribute the tax as credit to the swarm tree */
swarmRedistribution(_to, now, taxCollected);
/* Add and subtract new balances */
balanceOf[msg.sender] -= _value;
balanceOf[_to] += _value - taxCollected;
/* Notifiy anyone listening that this transfer took place */
Transfer(msg.sender, _to, _value);
}
The timeStamp makes the pathways and web-of-growth branch out in chronological branching schemes.
