  • users control it by coding nodes however they can
  • users control it by proposing changes to its contract
  • users control it by forking and merging agoras
    • it should be one command essentially
  • [[jonathan]]
    • difference in skill between users means difference in power
    • power is held by people who host?
      • yes, I agree. reducing this power, making it easy to host, is a priority.

  • western / colonial gestures / white saviour complex
• [[armengol]] the problem of getting things into [[shareable]] state
  • [[flancian]] defaults to sharing all :)
    • [[armengol]] tries to understand why he wants to say something, what's behind it; to process, filter, etc.
  • example problem: where should we meet after this? been thinking about [[coordination problems]]; how we relate to [[digital information]].

    • rules for the self converges to [[free will]]
  • [[principles]] are a common understanding of something. they can be used in subsets with a purpose.
    • principles could be in [[contract]]
    • when people interact, they try to follow all [[contracts]]

    • [[communication]] is only possible when you share common spaces
      • (discussion about definitions of space and communication here)
      • [[do]] discuss [[communication theory]]
  • [[origin]] (synchronicity?)
    • every piece of information has been created at a moment in time

    • you can only connect the dots looking backwards
• [[push]] [[armengol rules]]
  • we are used to working with markdown. it functions as a common space; it is not just the file, but the associated systems to deal with the files and link them.
  • what if we have a place where we can work together on these files.
    • [[stoa]]?
  • if we override the words of others, this is invasive. but if we don't agree on a shared context, communication cannot happen.
