The Denominator

Assume you give another party exposure to money. Basically, write it under a private key belonging to the second party. This is leverage as money is measured in non-money. As this is a leveraged contract for the first party, it must be a leveraged contract for the second one too. The contract just rolls forward as long as money is measured in non-money. The ratio at which the first party is in leverage remains constant as long as earnings for the first party, out of the contract, are not written in non-money....

Split Sea

If you buy something with money, you apparently expect to receive something in return. The one who receives money from you is not going to repeat the same thing, but in each transaction, something would be saved as the one who receives money from you doesn’t have to spend it to the extent you did. So, after a few transactions, half is saved. This is also true even if you don’t receive money but instead receive a token or credit....

The Blue

You make a function to realize a relation. It could be physical, in that case, it lets us know about the other by knowing about one. What we know about the other depends on the type of function. Putting these functions together lets us have a system which, in the large, is also a function that lets us know about larger entities, in terms of data, in relation to the system....

The Savior

Money is to transfer value. And more value over time as it also transfers wealth. In space and in time. It can not transfer in space unless it transfers in time. So saving in money is investing in wealth. And money needs fixed supply otherwise it transfer anything except the wealth. Given that digital wealth, the software, is transferable so we can possibly have a network for it. And everything else is controlled by software....

Protection

Everything is unprotected except one as everything is an option exception one. Freedom. If an additional different thing is also protected then one can not know without knowing the other and vice versa! How someone can receive information from who doesn’t know yet! In a single world, neither can be the singularity while the singularity is already protected. You probably need to wait for evil without taking action. You need to take actions for your protection....

Saving

If we reduce our needs to food, water, a jacket, a T-shirt, some shelter, railways, and use a bicycle to move around the city, it doesn’t need a billion people working to provide all those. Technology would allow us to save more, which basically means getting more stuff with less work. So, we can use it and save time to produce more technology to the point that we can save even more to spend time on future developments....

12 Principles

Here are 12 principles for a digital team which is essentially self organizing. A self organizing team has no depencency to a single member while practically there could be spontaneous authority to the extent needed otherwise. Value Every Component and the System Equally: Ensure integrated and harmonious progress by treating each part of the project as essential to the whole. Refactor Continuously for Reuse: Enhance software through ongoing refinement, building with the future in mind....

Copy

Copy! Not the material, but the information. That is the most efficient way to build up one lasting thing. We need to build up one lasting thing as that is the only possible end. Looking at stock indices, you find a lot of technology companies, but technology is algorithms. The rest are just information silos. We’ll return the information back to users, sell subscriptions to tools running those open algorithms!...

Local

We haven’t yet printed anything in space, so we cannot use it to verify independence from the factory. Independence needs to be verified without relying on the printed space and without the need to be in the factory. This is where localization comes into play. We should be able to check the correctness of a change locally before submitting it. That way, we can continue making changes even when we are restricted within the factory....

Direction

The dilemma is that we don’t have enough time to reproduce everything needed outside the factory, yet we need to completely leave the factory. Therefore, we will have to utilize things from the inside while securing the exit. It’s crucial to separate the specification from the implementation, allowing us to introduce a different implementation upon exiting the factory, while securing things that are already independent, without a restart. We must live in two worlds simultaneously, but we only have some elements that are reproducible outside the factory....
