Introduction
This place is intended as a placeholder for resources linked to a City-as-a-grid model, where primal needs generation and distribution (food, energy, chores, computing, essential jobs...) as well as commonly needed dispenses (tools sharing, maintenance fees, ...) would be distributed in a geographical way.
Notions such as a part-time chore concept (citizen participation) or the implications of 3D replication/printing technologies will be studied keys.
Notions
- Cell: atomic entity representing the smallest, partially autonomous system
- Progressive bootstrapping : every new home should be bringing enough resources to counter-balance it's consumption at the cell scale. This can be seen as a community giving
- Interconnected Energy Network
- Distributed network infrastructure (decentralized routing)
