XM Product Ecology Review

In the GVCS 50 development stage, make sure that tools fit together as a set. (In scenario of generalized opes source product development, create standards for interfaces based on post-scarcity design) Fitting together means that:

• Number of unique functional units is minimized, so their use is redundant
  • On level of components, modules, and entire devices
• All products can be made on the fabrication machines of the GVCS

Discussion

The Open Source Technology Pattern Language aims to capture the fundamental building blocks for devices. The practical result of this pattern language is that machine design should use the least number of generalized components.

To give a radical example: the Universal Rotor
