Typology

Cadell Last:

Concept Definitions/examples

Automated commons Networks related to foundational operations of civilization (i.e. education, health care, transportation, farming/agriculture, energy) built utilizing the ‘objective knowledge’ of automated machinery and designed around principles of universal access, abolition of property, and phasing out of labour (where contextually desirable)

Collaborative commons Networks of social exchange mediated by “offers” and “demands”(i.e. offer networks) facilitating the self-organization of good/services built on the foundation of social trust and reputation as primary bonding mechanism enabling the general intellect to disconnect from monetary transactions."
