Requirements for a Post-Monetary / 'True Gift' Public Resource System
1. Public Resource System. Displays a virtual model of the real world. (i.e. Freecycle meets Facebook meets TinkerCAD)
- Production Engine
- Provides a design platform to create a novel design or uses ready-made designs
- Determines where product and product parts are made
- Distribution Engine
- Alerts automated vehicles to retrieve and deliver materials or products (i.e. the free course: CS373 - PROGRAMMING A ROBOTIC CAR)
2. Common Land. (i.e. La Via Campesina and Rajastan)
3. Materials Commons. Free material for product construction. (i.e. Freecycle) Start with dumps before exploring extraction.
4. Industrial Commons. Places to go to make, learn, or have them made (i.e. Open Source Ecology and Wikispeed)
5. Robotics Network. For transport, manufacturing, and service. Robots are divided into three types:
- Fabots - make things
- Servibots - feed materials to fabots and distribots or people
- Distribots - deliver materials to or from factory and user location
6. Labour Commons. People willing to work for free
7. Transport Commons. Distribots are registered for non-commercial use for free to use on road or rail built to last
See: Free Markets and Free Use Commons
Overview
Wouldn't it be nice to apply SimCity to the real world? Already we have a publicly curated resource of knowledge, like Wikipedia, freely available. If you are looking for a place, you can search the web and find it on a map, with an address at least, but not much more information than that (unless the space has a website). A web that describes more detail about a physical space and the objects within it begins to outline the concept of a Public Resource Network.
Let's look at private land, for example. When details about the space are of public interest, owners can put the space online, by placing cameras to view the area and sensors to track and model the space, so that useful processes happening on the site, such as a combined technique for fish farming and aquaponic agriculture, can be visually modeled, point-by-point how-to instructions well enough to be applied most anywhere in the world. In this way, when looking at a virtualized physical space on the web we can see for instance that people picking tomatoes pick alot for very little in return or that a local car manufacturer produced a sports car you designed, slightly modified, for someone else that fancied your design.
Public resource networks apply social networking technologies presently used by Facebook, visually modeling a physical space, enabling viewers or users to make changes to the virtual model from the web much like TinkerCAD, expecting a change to the material space, like applying the concept of Thingverse, presenting designs focused on at home 3d printing. These techniques can be applied for the home, workshop or small workgroup, or mass production (fully automation, ideally).
Below are a few categories that make a Public Resource Network.
Areas to model
Where are things made and what makes things and how?
- Space
- Skills/Instructions
- Materials
- Tools
- Products/Outcomes
