Capital obeys the laws of thermodynamics. It flows relentlessly toward lower pressure and higher utility. When a state attempts to capture unrealized gains, it tries to freeze energy that has not yet materialized into work. This creates a localized decrease in entropy that the broader system will naturally correct through leakage. The exit tax is a physical barrier erected against a digital tide. True sovereignty is no longer the power to restrain, but the capacity to attract. If a jurisdiction must function as a trap to maintain its treasury, it has ceased to be a foundation and has become a sinkhole.

Analogy: A state is a pressurized vessel. If you heat the liquid within while sealing the vents to prevent evaporation, the mounting pressure will eventually breach the hull at its weakest point. You cannot command the liquid to remain still; you can only provide a container where it does not wish to boil.
