Arenas, agoras, political economies, complex systems, and many other type of holonic structures!
(quick plug for attractor comics we did last year!)
ideally simple attractors for the end product we produce (eg they are easy to use in your community to fund what matters).
and then the daos behind them are prolly strange attractors. or a network of strange attractors all bonded to us socially/economically/technologically (we are a mesh network of daos that rise and fall together)a
root level order of operations for ecosystem building:
- observe - explore the design space
- orient - cartography the design space and our relationship to it
- decide - figure out whats missing and/or the highest leverage use of resources
- act - manifest value through agentic action
- repeat
there is no priority weighting i dont think. were building an ecosystem that can be a massively parallel distributed search algorithm over the design space. the OODA loop is happening everywhere all at once (and ideally dynamically responding to where it finds energy - rerouting resources from failing holons to those that will be economically exothermic. [this all kind of remoinds me of capturing value like a slime mold ] )
my focus right now for this v0.0.1is to cartography the ecosystem, the different agents in it and how they relate to each other. (note: the opening talk to my summoniing ceremony talk also did this in the first few slides
i think the north star we are looking for is
- a positive sum symbiosis between the different constituencies* in the diagram
- that grows over time
- and eventually gains its own momentum
*at the highest level: between the biggest constituencies are:
- financial capital
- the agoras/arenas we participate in
- the world it impacts
another thread that may be interesting is to go more micro… eg.. once we’ve mapped the highest level constituencies and what they give/get from the symbiotic flywheel… then we could move on to mapping individual actors, the relations between them, and identifying missing parts of the network we should bring into relationship with the rest of us.
another mapping we’re doing is creating a pattern language for capital allocation. i hope @omniharmonic posts the drafts hes been working on soon!
my intent was to show a co-equal relationship between these two flywheels (1)world/allo.capital ecosystem AND (2)allo.capital ecosystem/it’s financial capital . this was important to me because so many companies i believe are out of right relationship with the world imo, its important for allo.capital’s legitimacy for it to maintain a balance.
but given your input… maybe a different (maybe complementary) way of diagraming it is having the world all around the upward spiral and the dao; insofar as it receives capital/resources/assets (and liabilites) back from every single actor in the diagram
first thoughts:
capital goes in; capital goes out
- ideally in right relationship with all of its various constituents
- ideally more capital at higher efficacy/value throughput over time
and more capital goes in over time, reflexively creating more growth and strength and legitimacy as the system cycles forward into its next evolutionary epoch.
