Product Architecture

Within the field of Distributive Enterprise, this is a critical step of defining a Product Ecology as part of Zero Marginal Cost Economic Development (ZMC economic development). This is part of an Open Source Product Development (OSPD) process, and is a subset of Civilization Engineering as proposed initially in one of the seminal works on the topic - General Semantics.

Defining a Product Architecture is a critical aspect of ZMC economic development. Designing product ecologies, not just their individual parts as in mainstream product development in the early stages of the age of AI - is a core aspect of optimizing cost and performance. This is consistent with an integrated approach to a world that works for everyone. Product ecologies, the Construction Set Approach, Lifetime Design, and Modularity are some of the critical components of an appropriate technosphere which exists in harmony with natural ecologies.
