A true new paradigm is an operant/key concept that applied beneficially changes the realities of an entire system, body of knowledge or area of human endeavor.

Many analysts use the word paradigm to describe an aspect of a problem generally within the current paradigm, but this true or untrue claim is not operant and thus the changes it may effect are not entire pattern changing. The signatures of accomplished paradigm changes are essential guides to finding and confirming a true new paradigm concept.

I introduce a new concept called a mega-paradigm change whose effects are universally and continuously experienced and whose effects spill over into numerous other systems, bodies of knowledge and areas of human endeavor.

The new monetary paradigm is a mega-paradigm change.
