The OSE Social Contract

Whereas poor distribution of power is unconscionable - and so is biodiversity loss, and loss of meaning in society, we commit to an open source civilization implemented through a distributed constellation of nodes, 10,000 in number nominally, with profound effect upon the enire civilization.

This social contact addresses the multipolar trap with collaborative humility - that we are all in it together, and the goal of civilization is flourishing of everyone including nature. Humility is the willingness to work for the benefit of civilization and its interconnectedness - in that we annihilate the delusion that a person is separate from others or from the environment. The fundamental social contract is the universal connectedness.

We commit to 10-100x less waste by open source product development up to everything, starting with basic infrastructure and up to space ships and microchips. The 10-100x is by open development - reducing devopment cost by this factor. This means to develop new technology, we are all collaborating, and the work gets done once - as opposed to multiple or hudreds of companies producing the same products in secrecy. Such drastic waste mus stop.

We are motivated to remove the multipolar trap - based on the 10000 Factor. We strive to understand energy so deeply that we are even open to the possibility of space travel at village scale, which comes from the fact that civilization at the current 20TW usage could send 3 tons of payload into space every second. In other words the energy requirement for space travel (ultimate human expansion, if needed) is 2 acres of PV for a yearly 'moonshot' such as a satellite launch.

We commit to open sourcing the technosphere of required $50B civilization kernel - in that annual global R&D on new useful things is that.

To do this, we commit to a lifestyle of open source product development, where together with 10000 campuses of a village scale each - we work on any new products needed for prosperity. But because we commit to collaborative humility - we do not do our peeve projects as our main ego goal - but instead commit to neosubsistence

Neosubsistence just means we avoid financialiation of any good or service we use. Ie, we trade in produce with money coined by product - ie, we can coin the same amount as a product is worth, such as nominal $1/lb for steel or $2/lb for stainless etc, based simply on energy accounting.

Each of our microcivilization nodes produces all that it consumes.
