The next chapter is OSE's work on enabling non-rival hardware goods as a physical possibility. Ie, the more solar hydrogen you make, you do not deplete the supply potential of solar hydrogen. The hydrogen, if used as fuel, is then returned to the atmosphere as water, from which more hydrogen can be made.

However, the above possibility of ending Artificial Scarcity is not a hippie ideal. It is a rigorous condition of eliminating waste to achieve the highest productive efficiency possible - which can be done only through transparent collaboration. Revenue models in such a paradigm would be Regenerative.
