The Autologous Country Vector (ACV) Index, is a multivariate global composite index designed to provide uniform measures of country vectorisation (country ontology).
The ACV Index is constructed as a multiplex structural equation function, per the formula:
ACV = ν1(α) + ν2(β) + ν3(γ)
Where,
v
α
β
γ
series represents a customised weighting regime vector set;
refers to a selection of nominal country alpha indices;
denotes country system components that invoke simultaneous equations in systematic returns (premiums/deficits) and systematic risks. This is represented by a functional form in which β = f(WGI, EFWI), and where the elements WGI refers to World Government Index, and EFWI means Economic Freedom of the World Index; and
means country extra-system components that are second order phenomena associated with simultaneous equations in systematic rewards (premiums/deficits) and residual risks. This component is of the functional form γ = f(DIPP, CPI) where the elements DIPP means Political Participation Index, and CPI means Corruption Perceptions Index
The multiplex format of the ACV is further elaborated by categorical amplitudes:
Alpha Modulus (World Progress Indicator); and
Beta Modulus (World Duration).
ACV alpha selection is based on the ACV Alpha Matrix, defined by human values for freedom and equality that is concordant to predominating socialist, social democrat, conservative and libertarian political ideologies.

A regular linear form is extent in strong-formation for the Alpha 1 series, and correspondent moderate-formation for the Alpha 2 series. Vertical regularity is attributed to convergence of country policy programs associated with recent public management frontiers in comprehensive country development planning.
Sharply diminishing heteromorphism is evident throughout the dollarised Alpha indices. The Alpha 3 series exhibits an extra-steep formation compared to the steep-formation of the Alpha 4 series, which is a theoretical corrective reference device of internationalisation.
ACV country vectors are configured by pre-defined country scenarios that facilitate differential case analysis.

Compactness is prevalent throughout the WP-1 and WP-2 alpha selections which is attributed to country resilience factors and the coherence of the governance criteria endogenous to the underlying global indices; and
Disintegration manifests as hypercatabolism throughout the WP-3 and WP-4 alpha selections associated with systematic vulnerability of sovereign currencies subject to high-frequency international foreign exchange markets.
