Introduction - frame it around the economy of access. A new civilization for $10k. Induction furnace + 3D printer, and we are good to go. $2k induction furnace. Scrap metal. 50 Machines – machine groups IoT Housing 2.0 – microfactory, energy plant, food production aquaponics in an energy/manufacturing/food production internet. Materials Production Facility – Charcoal, concrete, insulation, bioplastic, semiconductors. Discuss zone refining of silicon. Energy Internet – excess house power goes to producing hydrogen. Compressed biogas runs cars. Nickel iron batteries are the Power Wall 2.0 based on lifetime design. Aquaponic Greenhouse – and Farmbot for seeding, Drones for planting, and last mile delivery of produce. Agriculture – ROS + heavy equipment

Development Process – Recruiting OSE Developer Teams

Abstract for Extreme Development chapter: Integrate all human knowledge on collaborative development and relate to OSE’s Extreme Development – Extreme Design and Build. Make a case for our work based on known techniques that are already known and prior literature:

• Wikipedia – unmanaged contributions improve themselves, a la Clay Shirky, Here Comes Everybody
• Bold – crowd funding, crowd design, incentive prizes – HeroX, X Prize. MTP by Diamandis.
• Appropriate technology – Gandhi, Schumacher, Rifkin – Zero Marginal Cost Society (ZMCS)
• Flexible Manufacturing – Piore
• Rifkin – ZMCS, referring to Adam Smith et al on the Dilemma of Capitalism. Supported by 6Ds of Diamandis, but need some numbers to verify
• Kurzweil – Singularity when computer power overpowers
• Moore’s Law
• Law about doubling of installed PV reduces cost by 20%
• Modular, open source design – the latest in Product Development Literature
• Going from 13% to 40% overall energy efficiency – Rifkin
• Even Amazon admits that the future of its Fulfillment Centers will be Microfactories
• But open source, collaborative is key- as that can be the balancing force. Discuss fake open source – Tesla?
• Collaborative commons will eclipse Capitalism by 2050
• FabLabs – digital fabrication towards the open source microfactory. Many organizations have proposed the microfactory vision. However, their proprietary nature introduces competitive waste, such as the LocalMotors enterprise – which means it will deliver only a part of the zero marginal cost promise. Other efforts, such as OpenMotors – rel
• Aggregation platforms will survive, such as Uber, or Amazon logistics of same day product delivery. But rest will enter zero marginal cost regime.
• OSE Value Add – Extreme Builds – very efficient. Combines crowd build and digital fabrication
