# Colabora outline To build an open, federated marketplace for collaborations; a social technology supported by digital tooling, a global community and a world-wide movement of local events. A kickstarter-meets-angellist for the new economy. A place where a person with a purpose can search and find valuable collaborators to make a shared dream a reality. They can form a crew, organise the collaboration, make good agreements, and work in concert towards shared goals. A system enabling crews to find each other and discover purposes, projects and teams to support through easy to use software tools based around open protocols. A software system and movement of local events enabling incentivised curation of people, crews and projects. A system for effective social discovery based on data sovereignty, open protocols and open software. A place where crews can form and organize, live and manage end-of-mission, too. Low opportunity and transaction costs. Where crews are supported, but not constrained, in making agreements around contribution, rights, risks and rewards with secure, legal organisational agreements.

Lonesome No More - a Generative Identity Instance - paper outline

'Lonesome No More' is the campaign slogan of the protagonist of Kurt Vonnegut's book 'Slapstick' as he runs to become President of the USA. He passes a law which gives every US Citizen a new middle name, comprising a flower name and a number (such as 'Daffodil-8'). In this way, every citizen acquires a set of ~10k brothers and sisters, and 100k cousins (Daffodils with other number suffixes). since these families are assigned at random, these new families cut across all divides. Last edited June 2023 (significant changes from Jun 2020 version) Intent Set out the scope and themes of a paper proposing the mvp for a generative identity scheme in which asserted membership of a variety of groups is the core mechanism for establishing trust in a message provenance address as being controlled by a specific Agent. Context The next phase of civilisation requires a relocalisation - an emphasis on Agents (mostly humans, but possibly bots, too) as members of several more-or-less well-defined groups, rather than rootless, atomised individuals, only defined by nation-states. However, it must be accepted that reversion to historical group modalities cannot succeed. Capitalism is not the sole driver of atomisation - it has also resulted from people 'voting with their feet' - deliberately relinquishing the prescribed sociality of historical in-groups in order to be able to express themselves more fluidly, with more variety. Far from seeing this fluidity and variety as symptoms of 'social breakdown', this paper is based in the assertion that it is through the increased diversity that they support that civilisation can evolve to the required next stage, where with and through increasingly purposive consciousness, we increasingly take charge of our own evolutionary path (for good or ill).

Use-Credits and investment

or, How to use fiat currency to build capacity in a non-extractive manner Chris Cook & Dil Green March 2020 License: CC BY-ND Overview Social Enterprises providing value can receive investment without taking on debt or paying returns in cash. This paper shows how 'use-credits' manage risk at every stage. We illustrate, through a simple example, how an issue of 'use-credits' (more technically, 'Use Credit Obligations' or UCO) in return for money for investment in capacity can be beneficial for all stakeholders around the issuer's purpose.
