Development Scope

Basic scope:

OSE's work revolves around the development of the Global Village Construction Set. At the same time - we are developing a scalable platform for open source product development.

At the same time, developing and testing Distributive Enterprises marks the highest state of completion of any project.

But the OSE project is much bigger than that. As we develop the GVCS via Module-Based Design using a Construction Set Approach, we are developing an Open Source Technology Pattern Language: identifying and developing the 500 most critical modules that constitute all of human technology. These modules are implicit in the GVCS - the 50 machines span about 99% of these modules - and it turns out that shifting to the development of these modules, instead of finished machines, allows us to develop all of the GVCS machines more effectively and deeply - by focusing on common modules as opposed to distinct machines. The modules provide a more generative approach.
