Not listed · a composite of other index values

This reading is a weighted composite of other published W.E.T. indices — it holds no markets of its own, so it declares no universe for the current standard to hold to a subject. Its legs are each governed in their own right. It is still published and its dated history is intact, but it is not part of the listed suite and should not be quoted as a current W.E.T. index. It is not waiting on a methodology. The standard governs an index’s claim over a market universe, and this one prices index values instead, so the migration that returns the other delisted indices cannot reach it as written.

Daily close

35d published · interactive

35 published close(s) — 0–100 (Calm → Hot). Drag to pan, scroll to zoom. One slot per published close, not one per day: dates on the axis are real, the spacing between them is not. 11 day(s) inside this window published no close and are not drawn at all. For the calendar-true spacing, read the chart below. Drawn as a line, not candles: a daily close carries no open, high or low, and a candle would assert an intraday range nobody observed.

Model extrapolation of the published series (robust trend, 35 readings, slope -0.03/day, projection σ 1.8 pts/d widened for a 35-reading sample) — a benchmark projection, not a W.E.T. forecast.

The view this index measures

Every W.E.T. index tracks a question someone can hold a view on. This one is mapped to these 2 questions in the Worldview thesis map. Answering one places you on its continuum; this index is what that answer is measurable against.

  • Where does institutional trust go?

    Institutions regain groundTrust keeps eroding
  • Does Washington get anything done?

    Gridlock breaks — deals passShutdown politics deepen

Where do you stand? The Worldview builder asks from this same set of questions and matches your answers to the W.E.T. indexes that measure them.
