The Source of All PageRank

Some philosophical SEO questions.. Where does PageRank originate? How much is there? Who or what determines how much PageRank is supplied to the Internet? Is there a limited supply? Is it inflationary? Will there ever be a PageRank bailout?

It seems to me that the entire concept of PageRank is based upon some arbitrary quantity of page equity that flows around the Internet. For example, if the current amount of equity were doubled, would we all see a doubling of PR across all sites evenly? Is it all relative? Is it all pointless? Hmmm.. would love to hear some ideas on this.
