The problem with the definition that all new money/value needs to be spend
for more projects that are "shareful" is that it doesnt account for the
lending of value/money. That is the main mechanism with
which a bank makes money. Someone want to start a business, shareful or
not, the bank gives money and in exchange it wants more money in the future.
So although the bank doesnt interfere in the business structure, it is able
to extract wealth because it can do these things:

a) it decides whether the tools for the project are created and by whom
they are used.
b) they decide the price of those tools( through lending).

After this analysis, we see that a bank does decide what the economy
produces. In general, the owner of money controls the economy because of
those 2 reasons.

Any ruleset thus has to find a way to remove those abilities from money.

@Dante

Maybe you should look at something like this:
http://valnet.webfactional.com/accounting/network/24/ .
Semantic graphs are very difficult to work with. No doubt, they are at a
stand still for so many years.

@Michel . I have read few of them.I dont have much time unfortunately.
Almost all try to create new value flows and thus break the chains of
people from the the central monetary system.
So this is what I call a BSD license style effort.
In other words, if someone finds it more profitable, he switches back to
the old system.

@all
I am working on a ruleset myself, but my main point here is that as new
value flows emerge,we are of dire need of a ruleset as a guide for future
efforts.
In contrast, the creation of peer property through peer production has been
analyzed thoroughly.
We need a good definition of the creation of private property through peer
production, ie through non-exclusion.

Value networks, specifically need such a definition.
