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 :^).
