[P2P-F] emergent holoptism as OCL Re: open capital License?

Thu Feb 7 13:24:50 CET 2013

Just a word to say that I strongly disagree to say that the concept of
holoptism may describe what we are seeking and trying to do here (P2P
foundation).

I think that the concept of "Anopticism" may describe it better.

If it seems quite paradoxical to name the project of making the
collective intelligence visible : "Anopticism" [from the Greek "a"
(without) and "optiké" (vision)], it’s certainly because it needs some
explanations ...

Of course, the anopticon is the opposite of the "panopticon". In a
certain manner, the concept of "Anopticism" also differs from the
concept of "holopticism" [from the Greek "holos" (whole)], which
"consists of a physical or virtual space whose architecture is
intentionally designed to give its players the ability to see and
perceive all that occurs there ". If we consider the opposition of the
Greek roots, we could even believe that there is a radical antagonism
between Anoptic and holoptic. It's not quite the case: if Anopticism
and holopticism, "are designed to give to each individual a modeled
representation of space [...] in which he operates", the Anopticism
mourns for the idea that the "totality" of this space is the
"objectivity" of its representation, it insists instead on the
arbitrary and subjectivity of the points of view that govern the
models and on the rules that determine them.

For the Anopticism, human relationships are not reducible to the
establishment of a cybernetic feedback loop between the group and the
individual: the essential is forever invisible to us. The mourning of
objectivity is made bearable by the fact that everyone is potentially
the author of the points of view and the actor of the implemented
rules and codes. In this way, the Anopticism intends to legitimate a
"digital perspective" which may be applied within social systems.
