The solution is in plain sight - but someone has to, earnestly, create the new options in society. That is the core of OSE' work. Technically, we call this transformation model [[Distributed Market Substitution]]

Approach

Line 35:		Line 35:
	The approach of this project is to identify a small but comprehensive ''infrastructure base'' of robust, widely applicable solutions for ''living'' and ''working'' in new communities that are aimed at ''transforming'' the world. The community can be as small as a couple, such that no special deviation from the societal norm of a household needs to be invoked. The bottom line is living and working according to principles of right livelihood. If living and working as such is taken seriously, then it is advantageous to form communities of more than one couple, such that division of labor distributes the effort necessary for meeting the group's needs.		The approach of this project is to identify a small but comprehensive ''infrastructure base'' of robust, widely applicable solutions for ''living'' and ''working'' in new communities that are aimed at ''transforming'' the world. The community can be as small as a couple, such that no special deviation from the societal norm of a household needs to be invoked. The bottom line is living and working according to principles of right livelihood. If living and working as such is taken seriously, then it is advantageous to form communities of more than one couple, such that division of labor distributes the effort necessary for meeting the group's needs.

	With this in mind, we focus on creating an environment for living and working, and a process by which the people to populate this environment are identified and aligned. The initial step is to 1 develop the technology base for the living infrastructure, 2 produce a well-~~define~~ earning model for the community, and 3, provide an explicit productive infrastructure, 4, produce self-replicating flexible and digital fabrication infrastructure, 5, develop means of using onsite feedstocks as much as possible.

	The infrastructure base is first and community is second. One cannot organize people in a state of optimal quality of life if the means to support these people is not available. This is a simple consequency of the generally-accepted principle of Maslow's Hierarchy of needs: basic needs come before higher needs. The basic needs are those including housing, energy, food, mobility, etc. It is on the adequate provision of these needs that we must focus initially when building a new community - if our goal is right livelihood. Right livelihood is predicated on autonomy in the provision of these basic needs. Otherwise, uncontrollable external forces such as employers, governments, or external providers of needs- produce misalignment with the most fundamental interests of the community. This means external influence over the community - a recipe for compromise of both true interests and life quality.		The infrastructure base is first and community is second.

	1. ''High Value.'' We start with the stated goal (see Approach section above) as the definition of ''value'': '''The approach of this project is to identify a small but comprehensive ''infrastructure base'' of robust, widely applicable solutions for ''living'' and ''working'' such that ''transforming'' the world is a byproduct.''' The intent is to produce a replicable business model for a number of successful and optimized enterprises, by which individuals may engage in right livelihood activity as defined in previous sections. This approach has clear value.		1. ''High Value.'' We start with the stated goal (see Approach section above) as the definition of ''value'': '''The approach of this project is to identify a small but comprehensive ''infrastructure base'' of robust, widely applicable solutions for ''living'' and ''working'' such that ''transforming'' the world is a byproduct.''' The intent is to produce a replicable business model for a number of successful and optimized enterprises, by which individuals may engage in right livelihood activity as defined in previous sections. This approach has clear value.

	2. ''Practicality.'' A replicable business model for optimized enterprises is definitely achievable. We simply take existing enterprise models, work to optimize them, and release the ~~knowhow~~ in the open source to make it replicable. If the enterprise model is one that is successfully engaged by others, then it will be even more profitable if optimization adds further value. The key is to adapt progressive, ecological enterprise to the type of profit margins that are quite attractive to individuals, while ensuring that principles of right livelihood are followed. Specifically, the particular enterprises in the ''small but comprehensive infrastructure base'' must achieve a high ''Right Livelihood Selection Score'' in order to be included in the set of choices that collaborators agree to develop. This score automatically ensures the high potential impact for the transformative nature of enterprise deployment.		2. ''Practicality.''

	3. ''Understandability" - This is perhaps the most difficult point to prove, because understandability of this endeavor suffers from grave translatability issues due to the social conditioning of the population at large. It is difficult to convince people that an entirely different model of social organization which transcends centralization and top-down control - namely Right Livelihood - can be implemented, if the total force of social conditioning indicates to the contrary. It is required of the few people who are to understand this proposition that they are independent thinkers largely independent of the military industrial state. Some of these people still exist. These people need to be sufficiently connected to the land and nature in order to comprehend that right livelihood is a prerequisite for a harmonious, truthful way of living. Such individuals are the only ones who place sufficient priority to right livelihood that they would consider engaging in this project.		3.
