-SUMMARY - A good article that - briefly traced the roots of the the major categories of power in modernity: - government - business - NGOs - and provides an argument for the emergence of a 4th power - the collaborative commons - it provide a model for the collaborative commons and a system diagram showing the various parts - I've critique I raise it that since it could only emerge within the technological mileau of the internet, it cannot be based upon an archaic, corporate and centralized power be structure. Even cryptocurrency is still centralized and there is generally a single point of failure. - When more important than decentralisation however, is that the current web id not people-centered and intertwingled with interpersonal - a necessary condition for a collaborative commons is their what we call a "flipped" web. - The indyweb and Indranet are being designed as an open function opens learning ecosystem for humanity at the level of trust networks - inter-operating with other larger systems, it can pay a role in creating the flipped web which can provide the human communication media for a collaborative commons

  • There night also be a bother 4th category of power not me- criminal mentioned - criminal power

• epiphany: new slogan

  • power2thepeople has a double meaning
    • political power
    • physical power
  • since modern society runs on physical power, we need the people too control it rather than serving a small group of financial elites

  • in this context, indyweb and Indranet are not the canonical unit, but then, it seems the model is fundamentally missing the functionality provided but the Indyweb and Indranet, which is and open learning system.
  • without such an open learning system that captures the essence of his humans learn, the activity of problem-solving cannot be properly contextualised, along with all of limitations leading to progress traps.
  • The entire approach of posing a problem, then solving it is inherently limited due to the fractal intertwingularity of reality.

• question: progress trap - natural capital

  • It is important to be aware that there is a real potential for a progress trap to emerge here, as any metric is liable to be abused

• question: collaborative commons glue

  • Could Indyweb and Indranet be the open source glue that holds the 4 parts of the collaborative commons together?

• for: collaborative commons - technological dependence

• comment

  • since the collaborative commons emerged from the internet, it is obviously dependent on and made possible by ICT technologies

collaborative institutions relying on common design principles are seen helping to avoid the tragedy of commons
