What?

  • The world's first regenerative village.
  • 200 people, 2 hours of work per day, prosperity
  • Mixed class
  • Lifelong learning contract, starting with 'fixing oneself' to 'fix the world'
  • Replicable
  • Borrowed from the OSE League:
  • Open source design - products used are created by import substitution of proprietary hardware with open source, collaboratively developed hardware
  1. Autonomy of site - achieved on site so 200 people produce all that they need with zero imports using open source technology and collaborative design
  2. Distributed market substitution - products like in Technological Transformation
  3. Renewable energy - 100% fueled by renewables, and scalable to the world
  4. Open materials - silicon, steel, hydrogen, cement, and common industrial materials are abundant and produced with 100% renewable energy
  5. Regenerative housing - autonomous housing that regenerates the environment with renewable energy, food production, and work-life integration
  6. People learning to become Integrated Humans

Why

  • An experiment to reinvent the world, today - not requiring any new technological breakthroughs but only appropriate use of existing technology.
  • First 100% renewable energy community that includes fuel. Solves oil economy conflicts within a few years after the OSE Experiment concludes.
  • First society that thrives without inflicting violence on others or on nature.
  • First and clearly visible example of open enterprise leading to a trillion dollar unicorn that distributes wealth to its agents, not its parasites.
  • First example that rapid learning of critical interdisciplinary knowledge is possible so that people become interdisciplinary stewards.
  • First community where people have an opportunity to build all that they use, efficiently with effective training and infrastructure
  • First example of an economic system with full, open collaboration of products and services.
  • First example of a community that produces all that it needs, up to microchips
  • Solar concrete, steel, bioplastic, hydrogen, silicon, and other key meterial feedstocks are produced on site with zero pollution
  • 2 hours of work per day requirement to meet needs, rest is self-determined work of peoples' choosing.
  • Demonstrates a will of civilization to grow up to stewardship of the rest of the world as a point of light and example for others.
  • Demonstrates limits of human potential of average individuals to transform themselves and to transform the world.
  • Enterprise Community Contract - determines roles of people to fill economic duties.
  • Retirement community for village elders
  • Local currency and fiat currencies are in use.
