... Basic mathematics? By definition, there's only and always 100% of the current-wealth to subdivide. Never 101%.

Your gain of +1% always means -1% somewhere else.

What is your operational definition of wealth?

The key word here is "relative", not "wealth".

Wealth is so dependent on circumstance that I don't think it makes sense to say there is a cohesive body of wealth to make up 100%.

It is like saying you have 100% of the talent.
