  • 0. Open Data
  • 1. Public Resource System. Like Freecycle meets Facebook meets TinkerCAD
    • Production Engine
      • Provides a design platform to create a novel design or uses ready-made designs
      • Determines where product and product parts are made
    • Distribution Engine
      • Alerts automated vehicles to retrieve and deliver materials or products
  • 2. Common Land. (i.e. La Via Campesina and Rajastan)
  • 3. Materials Commons. Free material for product construction. Start with dumps before exploring extraction.
  • 4. Industrial Commons. Places to go to make, learn, or have them made. (i.e. Open Source Ecology and Wikispeed)
  • 5. Robotics Network. For transport, manufacturing, and service. Robots are divided into three types:
    • Fabots - make things
    • Servibots - feed materials to fabots and distribots or people
    • Distribots - deliver materials to or from factory and user location
  • 6. Transport Commons. Distribots are registered for non-commercial use for free to use road or rail built to last
  • 7. Labor Commons. People willingly, and with a sense of purpose, work for free, and find such work fulfilling.
