Introduction
We are introducing a tight constraint on OSE development - viral scalability via replication of OSE enterprises such as the OSE Campus. To attain such scalability - replication funding must come from bootstrapping generation of value, not from grants or foundations. Moreover, the participants in this experiment must generate value directly, as opposed to indirectly by taking resources from project funds. As a social enterprise - ethical project with growing social capital - resource generation may come from production, services, donations, or foundation. Internally, a combination of autonomous production (low-cost overhead by local economic value generation) or Neosubsistence may be combined with production. Production means selling critical infrastructure-building tools of the GVCS.
Factor e Farm is a nonprofit social enterprise with a Unique Value Proposition. We are interested in societal transformation by demonstrating that 30 people on 30 acres can create a complete modern economy down to semiconductor and metal production from indigenous feedstocks.
