Thanks Apostolis.<div><br></div><div>Just felt like informing - midst more and more ( graph based ? ) approaches I see, encouraging transactions while having access to information on reputation ( or past transactions ? )</div>
<div><br></div><div>I recommend also, in the same spirit, though possibly more documented,</div><div>Robin Upton's work and code for F2F</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.altruists.org/projects/ge/ff/">http://www.altruists.org/projects/ge/ff/</a></div>

EnlightenedStructure.org</div><div>We live in a time where information is quickly becoming our most valuable resource. Our</div><div>capacity for information exchange directly affects our level of success in developing and</div>
<div>sustaining relationships and organizations. The quality of our communication and the tools we</div><div>use to augment collaboration influence all our projects and processes.</div><div>Enlightened Structure is a web of projects which represent new systems for creating, sharing,</div>
<div>and interacting with information. Many of the challenges of our age cannot be solved from</div><div>within the level of their existing systems. These projects serve as platforms to harness our</div><div>inherent collective intelligence, augmenting our natural human capacities. These platforms</div>
<div>offer solutions at a different level, by fundamentally re-engineering creative processes, the</div><div>exchange of trust, visibility of information, and the operating systems of communities and</div><div>organizations.</div>
<div>The Trust Exchange</div><div>Superseding the Scarcity Economy</div><div>The Trust Exchange utilizes the network of human trust relationships that already exist, making</div><div>them visible, interlinked and actionable. Most of our decisions are based on collective opinions</div>
<div>and discernment, particularly those of friends we trust. The Trust exchange brings visibility to</div><div>your friends� ratings of products, companies, websites, and more. In turn, you can rate your</div><div>trust level of a friend or information source in any</div>
<div>category, where categories are simply user-created</div><div>tags. One friend you may trust for their computer</div><div>knowledge, and another for their culinary capacity.</div><div>The Trust Exchange amalgamates existing ratings from multiple sources � and ultimately any</div>
<div>source � and feeds them into an open platform. Instead of owning your ratings and trust</div><div>information, like existing online networks and organizations, the Trust Exchange is a simple,</div><div>powerful, non-proprietary platform for humanity to exchange its trust information. Individuals</div>
<div>can choose whether to make ratings publicly available, or share them privately with trusted</div><div>contacts.</div><div>The purpose of the Trust Exchange is to support and facilitate the era of transparency that is</div>
<div>emerging. Anyone doing research on a purchase can tap into the publicly available ratings of</div><div>relevant companies, to help them choose a product or supplier aligned with their own values.</div><div>EnlightenedStructure.org</div>
<div>Even corporations can become model citizens when social capital is tied closely enough to</div><div>revenue. The engine of capitalism then becomes an engine for systemic self-improvement.</div><div>The Core Network</div>
<div>Geometric System Interface</div><div>The Core Network is a social browser and visual interface based on the geometry and physics</div><div>of space-time itself. It traces our interactions and relationships with information, displaying</div>
<div>them using colors and geometric shapes, and organizing them by shared keywords,</div><div>categories, and proximity references. The system is designed to enable us to more clearly see</div><div>how we are related to each other, as well as how closely we are connected, based on personal</div>
<div>preferences and community interactions.</div><div>The interface functions like a multidimensional map, with</div><div>each user at the center of their own personal browser.</div><div>Surrounding them, their social and information networks,</div>
<div>from people to bookmarked websites, are elegantly displayed</div><div>in a color-coded geometric matrix. Items they interact with</div><div>regularly position themselves adjacent to their �avatar� in the</div><div>honeycomb grid, while items they interact with less often are</div>
<div>displayed further away. Each connection in the grid is</div><div>organically organized by relationship categories based on</div><div>similar tags or keywords. For ease of display and efficient</div><div>user referencing, these categories are simply represented by</div>
<div>color coded points.</div><div>The system is designed to aggregate data from a variety of social networks and search</div><div>engines. It can be used as either a standalone browser, or a module that can be inserted into</div>
<div>an existing website or application. Priorities in the interface design are flexibility and ease of</div><div>use. The map is rendered and displayed with smooth physics-based movement, and reorients</div><div>itself according to searches or general navigation. The geometric structure, which can be</div>
<div>rendered in 2D or 3D, also displays changes in interactions over time.</div><div>WikiNodes</div><div>Massively Parallel Creative Collaboration</div><div>Wikis have revolutionized textual information sharing. Documents created by harnessing</div>
<div>collective collaboration far outperform previous modes of knowledge aggregation. Wikipedia</div><div>has demonstrated the incredible effectiveness of this approach. Just as open source has</div><div>changed the face of software, and wikis have changed the arena of knowledge sharing, so too</div>
<div>is a revolution brewing as creative collaboration becomes possible across all forms of media.</div><div>WikiNodes is designed to create a boundless and self-evolving container for collective</div><div>EnlightenedStructure.org</div>
<div>intelligence to congregate around any type of project, while retaining the edits and</div><div>contributions of every individual.</div><div>In the WikiNodes collaboration platform, contributors</div><div>do not have to agree on a single version; each author</div>
<div>can maintain their own latest version. This �branching�</div><div>of creative works encourages a diversity of</div><div>perspectives that can be exchanged and interwoven in</div><div>a massive creative network. Authors can create</div>
<div>unlimited branches, easily view differences between</div><div>branches, and merge in changes from other versions</div><div>and authors. The power of remixing.</div><div>WikiNodes is an engine for massively parallel creative collaboration of all sorts. It harnesses</div>
<div>the power of existing systems and workflows currently used for developing software, and</div><div>applies them to creating media at large.</div><div>Integration</div><div>Enlightened Structure is designed as a suite of software startups, each with a separate and</div>
<div>clear mission. This suite of companies will serve two purposes: 1) Enlightenment, and 2)</div><div>Profit.</div><div>The Trust Exchange, The Core Network, and WikiNodes are the key platform-level projects</div><div>
that, interdependent, build the enlightened technology layer on top of the existing Internet.</div>
<div>These platforms will be released open source, free to the world, and all IP will be Creative</div><div>Commons licensed, so that this enlightened structure layer is itself remixable Free IP.</div><div>The suite of companies will also include for-profit ventures, which will build on the same</div>
<div>platforms, and leverage the expertise within this startup ecosystem. Custom applications can</div><div>also be created for clients with specialized needs.</div></i></span></font></div></div></div><span><font color="#888888">
