Pangaia

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 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).

...ultimately to create a beautiful world. Check our Manifesto.

What will it do? Think Diaspora + Wikipedia + Free-Currency Network + Gift Economy.

How will it do it? By using a unified "Physics of Information" and a distributed architecture to generalize and scale up to billions of nodes, events, and tasks while keeping it beautiful.

These fractal organizations will affect and inform other such organizations through a vast gravity and resonance model. It is planned to eventually replace the inefficient and ubiquitous e-mail/twitter communications model and ultimately transform the way content is organized and interacted with on the Internet and your computer (but you don't have to believe it, yet :^).
