=Description=

[http://pangaia.sourceforge.net Pangaia] is quietly developing the world's "next great internet application", emerging from complexity science:

* Utilizing the power and wisdom of the crowd (given the right tools and incentives), 
* using a '''stellar''' theoretical model for organizing the elements of knowledge (which we claim is provably optimal), we are
* creating a distributed [[p2p| peer-to-peer]] '''platform''' for trading creative value (a new economic system), 
* while allocating decision-making authority fairly and efficiently (a new form of self-organizing governance)
* in a way that inspires even greater participation (a beautiful ecosystem of knowledge).

What will it do?  Think '''[http://joindiaspora.org Diaspora]''' + '''[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]]''' + '''[[Free-Currency Network]]''' + '''[[Gift Economy]]'''.

How will it do it?   It will invert the top-three layers of the [[OSI model]] which came out of the client-server paradigm, making a content-centric layer of the internet (replacing the legacy DNS), adding a 3-d presentation layer, and a more modern ''session'' (layer 7) layer that's smarter about [[p2p]].  But see the [http://pangaia.sf.net pangaia wiki] for more detail.

Sam Rose comments: "It's in the neighborhood of Diaspora ideas, but using P2P internet
protocols, instead of open web protocols/standards the way diaspora does."

''**  Hmmm, methinks this prior comment out of date...''
