Overview

Vested commons are created from networked commons trusts: banktrusts, culturetrusts, propertytrusts, etc. Commons trusts are opt-in trusts that people invest in, whether through money, labor, property, or general support; the network created from these commons trusts are thus vested, and exist solely to safeguard the commons for the public good.

What should be a root commons versus an aspect of one?

If we separate rival and nonrival goods, cultural and property seem like the main two. Money would be within cultural. Communication is both property (hardware, fiber, etc) and information. More discussion is needed to make sure the root vested commons are best categorized, and the trust components make the most sense as an organizational unit.
