2. We commit to the collaborative development of DE, by learning Collaborative Literacy that enables us to work as large, highly-coordinated, global teams with an open invitation to participation.
3. We commit to the transparent development of DE, publishing product design and enterprise design openly.
4. We commit to creating enterprise models that are not scarcity-based, rooting out artificial scarcity from the economic equation

6. We commit to developing effective and efficient build techniques.

Social

1. We commit to creating a nontoxic environment for learning, working, and growth - in our group and with the world.
2. We commit to avoiding cult-like behavior, instead of focusing on a vision much greater than ourselves.
3. We commit to supporting each other - in learning, and in livelihood creation.
4. We are inclusive, as we recognize that we are all in it together, globally speaking. This implies that there is no us vs them.
5. We commit to bringing everyone up, seeing that distribution of existing knowledge is even more important than creating new knowledge.
