<div><u style="font-weight:bold">viable systems</u>. ( <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viable_system_model" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viable_system_model</a> )</div>
<div><br></div><div>Feel free to share with other groups / mailinglists, mutually facilitating design theory solutions for "Emergent Synthesis".</div><div><b><u><br></u></b></div><div><b>I wish to ask for<u> feedback</u>,</b><div>
<b>and <u>converge</u> such feedback on a specifically allocated wiki</b> / website / or drupal platform, for which support is also needed.</div><div><br></div><div>for now - <b><i>feel free to <font color="#000099">add your name and contact here </font> ( or send me an email ) :</i></b></div>
<div><a href="http://sharewiki.org/en/Emergent_Synthesis" target="_blank"><font size="4">http://sharewiki.org/en/Emergent_Synthesis</font></a></div><div><br></div><div>Various groups and mailing lists already exist.</div>
<div>Feel free to share url's to projects, mailinglists, or the location of informal groups of people and possibly the name/nickname of such groupings ( and their contact ) on the emergent synthesis page.</div><div><br>
</div><div>Priorities can go into <b>providing visibility towards solutions for <u>shared living experiences</u></b></div><div>( such as meetings, collectives, living spaces - static and/or nomadic - ... )</div><div><br>
</div>
<div>//</div><div><br></div><div>I wish to find an easy way to converge such data about people's pledges,</div><div>and visualize a "value network" map of inter-dependencies.</div><div><br></div><div>I also wish to find people who feel enthusiastic about translating the following message into a more attractive way.</div>
<div>( asking for any inspiration and contributions from people who write, draw - comics ? - , can produce short videos, ... )</div><div><br></div><div>///</div><div><br></div><div>How do you position yourself in relation to defining and building up a </div>
<div>viable systems project ?</div><div><div><div><br></div><div>I propose, as a test for further projects all over the world,</div><div>to <b>use Leipzig / Leipzig Projects</b></div><div><b>as an experiment.</b></div><div>
<br></div><div><div><a href="http://sharewiki.org/en/Leipzig_project" target="_blank">http://sharewiki.org/en/Leipzig_project</a><br><div><br></div><div>The aim is to inspire and engage people to collaborate,</div><div>progressively providing a sense of shared , visible accomplishment.</div>
<div><br></div><div>and at first,</div><div><font size="4">to draft/define aims and needs,</font></div><div><b><font size="4">set up a list of <u>priorities</u></font></b></div>
<div><font size="4"><b><u><br></u></b></font></div><div>///</div><div><br></div><div><div>Based on your own interests, where would you like to position your contributions if you like to contribute to such visions,</div>
<div>and what do you need to collaborate in specific objectives,</div><div>which themselves can fit within such larger picture ?</div><div><br></div></div><div>If I create a map ( or if I map it out on a wiki ), </div><div>
would you be willing to be included into it, and what information can you provide? :</div><div><br></div><div>availability, sweat equity contribution capability and its needs or conditions, current geographical situation or potential future situation, financial support and its conditions, other available resources and/or existing networked collaborations working on specific topics ( ? ) , ...</div>
<div><br></div><div>///</div><div>General Description : </div><div><br></div><div>It can ask pledges ( <a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pledge" target="_blank">http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pledge</a> ) ,</div><div>
in the form of engagements and equity / sweat equity ( <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweat_equity" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweat_equity</a> ) ,</div>
<div>even short term - measurable, combined with subjective mutual interdependent objectives based evaluations.</div><div><br></div><div>This includes :</div><div><br></div><div>- people collaborating on various tasks on the terrain ( Leipzig , and surrounding land ),</div>
<div><br></div><div>- people collaborating in their respective regions to converge engagements and further needed resources</div><div>( answers to specific questions : legal, financial, architectural, etc )</div><div><br>
</div><div>- alternative financial products, which are set into the commons</div><div>( using this commons crowdfunding mechanism ? <a href="http://www.goteo.org/?lang=en" target="_blank">http://www.goteo.org/?lang=en</a> )</div>
<div>in exchange of long term measurable use value.</div>
<div><br></div><div>- such recognition and/or use value related guarantees can also be earned through participation.</div><div><br></div><div>////</div><div><br></div><div>Interdependent Priorities :</div><div><br></div>
<div>
For Collective Housing / Development Phase :</div><div><br></div><div>1a) Individuals in support of communication :</div><div>drawings, leaflets, wiki-drupal-net platform, ...</div><div>expressing a general vision, setting up tools for easily converging needed data, tools for coordinating pledges, </div>
<div>mapping resources-questions-needs-contributions-interdependencies, ...</div><div><br></div><div>1) Setting up a centrally located base/aggregator in Leipzig which is comfortable to live in,</div><div>and big enough to enable each individual to self organize in their own space,</div>
<div>based on their affinity/relation/collaboration preferences,</div><div>with defined temporary collectives. ( <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective</a> ) </div>
<div><br>
</div><div>2) Supporting the development of "decentralized" bases in and around Leipzig,</div><div>and all over the world,</div><div>through proposing <b>modular living structures</b>,</div><div>light weight, inexpensive , locally producible,</div>
<div>co-developing open source research and development</div><div>with a open copyleft / hardware license.</div><div><br></div><div>aka : <i>Tensegrity Tents, with components that enable parametric design</i>.</div><div>
see : <a href="http://sharewiki.org/en/Nomad_Tribe" target="_blank">http://sharewiki.org/en/Nomad_Tribe</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>3) Have a collective intelligence aggregator / team of people</div></div></div><div>supporting each other in the definition of "code" and "legal solutions",</div><div>itself supporting "financial solutions",</div>
<div>in transparency of interdependencies of the "Value Networks" ( ? )</div><div><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_network" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_network</a></div><div><br>
</div><div>For example :</div>
<div><br></div><div>- set up of a not for profit organization in Germany for converging local support towards defining and building a viable system regionally.</div><div>( in Berlin and/or Leipzig ? )</div><div><br></div>
<div>- set up of a international not for profit organization in support of open source collaborative design of modular living structures ( in Brussels ) </div><div><br></div><div>- set up of a Limited Liability Partnership structure ( in the UK - London ) for investment purposes.</div>
<div><br></div><div>- defining a combination of legal structures , as to enable a commons, interdependent oriented approach regarding ownership,</div><div>such as separating land from buildings, studying various existing legal models such as Mietshauser Syndikat ( combination of cooperative, corporation and not for profit ? ) , ...</div>
<div><br></div><div>- <i>definitions of contracts</i> ( access to use value, visibility of contributions and recognition within gift economy, managing investments of capital in support of commons, conditions of usage and/or property holders, conditions related to usage of regional economic IOU's and their architecture, etc ) </div>
<div><br></div><div>4) Set up recognition by means of measurement based on objectives</div><div><br></div><div>5) use web based solutions in development ? "Global Survival" collaborations with tools including Netention , ... :</div>
<div>visualize current or future intentions, visualize interdependencies, visualize pledge future contributions, present contributions, past contributions, ...</div></div></div><div><br></div><div>6) reach out to organizations and movements who may benefit from a similar approach</div>
