Abstract
To understand the concerns about how humanity, writ large, may react to lessened availability of work, it may help to explore how and why work is meaningful to people, beyond subsistence and survival.

This work sets a baseline against which future substitutions for human needs-meeting may be achieved beyond work in a projected future.
