Abstractly, it's where log(forecast(assets)) exceeds log(anticipate(desires)) by log(safetymargin).

Molecular biologists are still searching for the pathways that govern the expression of assets, desires, and safetymargin.

Doctors and tax accountants are still arguing over whether the forecast and anticipation functions are learned or innate. And philosophers and used car salesmen can't even agree on where these functions sit on the cause/effect axis.

>= 60 apparently.
