Intro
There is a new form of human organization emerging around us every day, but yet still on the horizon. It exists beyond all previous forms of human civilization: beyond city-states, beyond Empire, beyond nations, beyond supranational institutions. This new entity permeates the domains of politics, economics, and society, and calls for a new word to suggest in an allusive way the resonances and connotations necessary to understanding it as a whole. This is the CommonsWealth.
Conclusion
CommonsWealth, then, is the synergy of all of these modalities into a complex adaptive system, a reality that is organic and leverages difference into the evolutionary strategies of an organism, rather than a static mechanical structure that reduces individuals to cogs in a machine.

The CommonsWealth is a future which we all make. Together.
