PROGRAMMABLE FUTURES -- A PLANETARY PLANNING PROTOCOL AS A STATE TRANSITION SYSTEM
PLANNING FOR OUR PLANET, A DESIGN SYSTEM TO PROGRAMMABLE FUTURES

#

Summary
In science fiction, there are societies that, having eliminated hunger, poverty, and the need for possessions, can do without money. In Star Trek Voyager, one of the main characters states that "Money went the way of the dinosaurs." In those societies where money has not become extinct, it is now common to imagine some digital representation of value as an advanced form of money accepted by everyone.

## Formalising a State Transition System built on Programmable Natural Capital Accounting

Programmable Futures. A Planning Protocol for a state transition system

Building intuition into "State Transition Systems".

> [The Planet and Humanity are in a Transitional State]

The intensification of Human activities is re-shaping the Earth, triggering a vast ecological crisis and affecting the deep structures of human civilization. The magnitude of this intensification is so overwhelming that they are operating on a planetary level.

We are building a system to monitor how the state changes over time, to visualize the available future states and identify the constraints that will allow making the transition to a desired future state. To define the conditions for the desired future, we use the **Programmable Nature Capital metric**.

## Computable Natural assets
The new model of Computable Natural assets

> [Introduction to the concept of enhanced natural asset and environmental markets]

#

> [Introduction to the protocol]
> Is a Peer To Peer Protocol to enable the integration of resources of Natural Capital into computing primitives to create a new class of Programmable Environmental Assets


How it works:
**We introduce a general mapping function F(x) to map [and record] the relations between:**
> * a set of Natural Resources
> * the associated Property Rights structure,
> * the delegate, such as a Community,

> * and a computing primitive that converts these relations into code.

Using a Blockchain computer to perform accounting and calculations on Natural Capital, we can achieve to:

### Deploy Decentralised Environmental Capital Markets
**Environmental Capital Markets** are created to **Preserve** Natural Resources and to unlock the value of Environmental Systems. Traditional commodity markets are inefficient, miscommunicating information, driving the depletion of natural resources.

We offer several possible designs of marketplaces for ecosystems where property rights allocation is a key feature. We suggest that these marketplaces have the potential to reverse the degradation of many ecosystems, including forests, watersheds, and depreciated urban ecologies. The markets are designed as P2P systems without the need of a central planner or a government regulator; indeed, in many cases, the small-scale local organization of commons regulation would be both preferable and more likely (Ostrom, 1990)

Establishing Environmental Markets, that are Decentralised would allow to
>Build Economies
>Communities connect to international trade markets and expand their economies

> **Incentives structures.**
> Use markets to construct Incentives structures to achieve a distribution of risk and reward
>
> Distribute wealth to the communities, reduce the threat of global poverty

### Establish a Decentralised Trustless Certification Processes

>Oracles connect to the system via the API to provide updates on the projects to inform the decision making process of the validators. A decentralised autonomous organisation.

### Information flows and data feedback loops:
Information from the environmental systems and the consumers, will allow to construct alternative views about the state of the world and build models of the future. Feedback loops will accelerate the evolutionary process.
Using this information flows we can:

### Planning for our Planet. A pure Peer to Peer, incentives driven design system for planning at a Planetary level.
The intensification of Human activities is re-shaping the Earth, triggering a vast ecological crisis and affecting the deep structures of human civilization. The magnitude of this intensification is so overwhelming that they are operating on a planetary level. Hence the capacity to act on it lies with communities to collectively engage in a planning process to deploy alternative realities on a planetary scale.

Yet constraints limit our potential to respond. Today no design system exists to plan for our Planet collaboratively with hundreds of millions of people and, eventually, billions of people.

> The Programmable Nature capital protocol would allow for a new interdisciplinary field that brings together the domains of Environment, Social/Culture, Technology, Economics, and Public Policy.

> A new set of design tools for Architecture in an open-source format

##
### A Protocol to Re-Program Ecologies
We want to re-program the intensification on Earth's systems, drive territorial transformations, and organize Human Density on a Planetary scale. Using these metrics, we intend to create incentives to drive the evolution of new types of ecologies:

> The Deep Nature Habitats = Zero Human presence
>
> The Buffer Zones = Economies at the Edge of Environmental systems
>
> Ultra High-Density Cities

We intend to provide a system that will allow for the emergence of the future where the territories of Deep Nature Habitats are expanding. At the same time, the intrusion of humans is limited. Cities are building ultra-high-density capacity, accelerating the rate of innovation of the society while the use of available resources is optimized. Natural Capital Markets are an important part of the economies
In this model of a future reality, there are three types of spatial arrangements: The Buffer Zones, The Deep Nature Habitats, and the Ultra High-Density Cities.

# Where do i start?

The Decentralised Trustless Certification Processes is fundamental for the project.

I have started the design of the Decentralised Autonomous Organisation for a market in Carbon Credits.

“A very futurist idea I must say. If I were you, after carefully planning, I would spend more time talking influential people, investors or other powerful people before I start working on it.”
Payddle
“I liked that you are talking to descision makers and have a solid case for your project. As per feedback, I do have some doubts, like how a system like that would work without bringing government on-board and how is it different from asset-backed tokens.”

“Very interesting project. Seems like there's a few different components here -- ecology, programmable futures, DAO, crypto, natural resources, etc. Is there a way you could make your one-liner easier to understand, and your landing page more clear as well? Even as an engineer who's involved with blockchain, I had to read through a few times to get a better understanding. But very interesting work -- keep it up!”
mewtwo · Message
“Hey, I didn't fully understand your project. You want to make natural resources the exchange currency to substitute money? If that's so, I think it's an ambitious and radical idea, but you wouldn't be the first. I would suggest you expose your solution in a more comprehensible way (almost just text on your "website"). Reading through the whole thing was very difficult. I wish you the best of luck and stay safe. ”
OMNY_Foods
“Wow, really futuristic idea. I don't know if our society is prepare to that right now, but keep pushing! Without this kind of project there's no progress.”
