(A directory).

I always assumed that, when people dedicated their work, they all first finished the thing and then wrote the dedication. That would mean dedicating the (say) book as a finished object, something concrete that one has compiled or created and can then be offered with few reservations.

Belatedly I've come to realize I'm not that kind of person, so I find myself dedicating a draft instead. Writing these lines as I write them now means dedicating a set of ideas first, and my clumsy implementation of these ideas second -- the latter amounting currently to little more than well meaning aspirations.

It seems appropriate, then, to dedicate this fuzzy set of ideas and aspirations to a fuzzily defined group instead of a concrete list of individuals.

To my friends.

May you be happy!

Look, an Agora!

• a [[project]].
  • [[fully open]] [[transparent]] [[ethical]]
  • In [[Flancia]] they used the [[internet]] to build a global [[Commons]].
    • [[agora]]
      • [[agora doc]]
  • #pull [[agora]]
    • #pull [[agora of flancia]] exists. You're reading this in it :)
    • I dreamt of seeing an Agora of Flancia with a million [[people]].
    • [[1m people]] is approximately 2000 [[bolos]] :)
    • call it [[2048]] to make it even ;)

• a [[poem]].
  • Flancia,
    • o por el bien de los [[seres sentientes]]!
  • Flancia es una épica: la historia de cómo les humanes vencieron a Moloch.
• a [[book]].
  • You're currently reading it.
    • This section is in [[Agora]] Protocol as it is to be meant within the [[Agora of Flancia]]. Feel free to ignore any symbols or words if they distract you. It is fine not to assign them meaning, in particular at first; words should be enough to understand Flancia.
  • Flancia is a book about a [[place]].
    • In [[Flancia]] there is an [[Agora]]. You've found an Agora, so you've somehow found Flancia.
    • In the [[Agora of Flancia]] maps of [[Flancia]] are [[free]].
    • #pull https://flancia.org pull
• a [[place]].
  • a [[protopia]]
    • It exists, in a way -- it exists in my [[mind]].
  • Perhaps the world after the [[flancian revolution]] or a similar world changing event.
    • The world of the [[flancians]] could be said to be similar to ours, the result of evolution over a material reality that sometimes allows for things to be made better with the application of effort towards the achievement of an [[incremental improvement]].
    • Flancia is, I believe, a place that exists in our hypothetical shared future.
    • You could say Flancia exists in the [[multiverse]].
• a [[project]].
  • [[go]] https://flancia.org pull
  • I am a [[Flancian]] and this [[Agora]] contains my [[manifesto]].
  • Flancia existed before the Agora but is, I believe, defined in the limit by how the [[Agora]] is put to use towards maximizing [[thriving]] for all [[conscious beings]] via the incremental unlocking of [[public utility]] and the practice of [[altruism]].
  • [[flancia collective]] runs the [[reference agora]].
• a [[set]].
  • of [[people]] and [[things]].
