### Notes on Index Creation
- **Page References**: Page numbers are based on the document's pagination as provided. Some entries (e.g., Freedom, Justice, Community) span entire chapters, so ranges are given where appropriate.
- **Key Themes**: The index emphasizes the book’s core themes (Freedom, Justice, Community, Money) and practical mechanisms (Sociocracy, Common Good Payment System, Cooperatives).
- **Cross-References**: Included where topics overlap (e.g., Common Good under Funding Mechanisms and Alternative Currencies).
- **Endnotes and Appendix**: Referenced frequently, as the book directs readers to the Just Abundance website for additional resources.
- **Conciseness**: The index is comprehensive yet concise, focusing on significant concepts and avoiding minor details unless explicitly referenced (e.g., specific historical figures or terms like "Gnomon").
- **OCR Artifacts**: Pages marked with "$5$" or "$1$" (e.g., 1, 2, 6, 10, 174, 200, 203, 204) were assumed to be blank or non-content pages and not indexed unless relevant.
If you need specific adjustments (e.g., additional entries, more detailed subtopics, or a different format), please let me know!
