See [[Periclean Athens]]
OSE is pursuing a solution based on individuals developing towards [[Radical Man]] as derived from the seminal work of [[Kurt Lewin]] on humanistic psychology. The practical solutions derive from the completion of the [[GVCS]], ie a complete kernel allowing for the creation of modern society from abundant, local resources. As long as critical infrastructure is provided effectively via open source hardware in the framework of [[Open Source Microfactories]], such as terraforming, housing, cars, food, and technology - then a foundation is set for cultural and scientific advancement. OSE's framework for achieving this is via a village-scale (200 people) unit of infrastructure as embodied in the GVCS, which can be scaled up as needed.


Opportunity and access, as afforded in the [[OSE Specifications]] for the GVCS - enable the solution for democratic society. To date, such a solution has eluded civilization, and this is especially poignant in 2022 as autocratic regimes are on an upswing since [[2006]]. We propose a solution that embodies productivity training and holistic thinking - through education programs such as the [[Core Enterprise Module]] on the [[Seed Eco-Home 2]]. This addresses housing, and terraforming, and extends to energy/transportation, and open source microfactories. We envision a square mile parcel, populated by a sufficient number of people to guarantee prosperity - still delivering the initial promise of [[Factor e Farm]] - 2 hours of work to provide prosperity up to semiconductor production. Nominally 1000 acres and $1M in land, the total startup cost is $10M. Such can be funded via the [[Core Enterprise Module]] in its second year of operation (240 workers). Nominally - village scale is the right population - but the population may rise to about a 1000 or so. This may be necessary to address
