I'm not following your thought process here. Maybe a better explanation.

Currently our wealth is 22M-X especially with an ∞ divisibility. Without a root basis point of a satoshi, measuring up is useless. Measuring down as in your example 22M-X makes more sense. The apparently agreed solution to attrition is to divide further when necessary creating a new basis point yet to be determined. I disagree with this solution but I'm nobody.

If however, I follow your thought process. You give everyone 22 Million VC units to start. May I ask, how do you distribute them and to whom?

Each address created will start with 22 million units to begin with, this is essentially the same as owning 0 bitcoins, to have buying power, you need have a balance below 22 million, like say you have 21,999,999 balance, this is similar to owning a single bitcoin. The lower your balance is the more you have, so a balance of 0 would be the same thing as having 22 million bitcoins. The reason it's backwards like this to change the direction in a transaction. To gain wealth you have to give away your coins to an accepting party, to loose wealth you have to accept coins.
This puts trust essentially in the receiver of wealth, and I'm sure the receiver's best interest would be to gain wealth.
