Yes that is awful. As the article points out this legislation was:

"announced on the four-year anniversary of the massacre at a gay
nightclub in Orlando and in the middle of Pride Month."

There have been more murders of black trans women in the US as well
recently -

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/dominique-fells-riah-milton-transphobia-new-calls/

And in the UK the Tories are being emboldened to roll back hard-won
protections for trans people.

So Rowling "just expressing valid concerns", as way too many people have
said to me over the last day or so, isn't happening in a vacuum. And
also is not actually in any way, shape or form "just expressing valid
concerns". She's playing on people's fears and sympathies while
repeating the battle-tested lies of anti-trans-rights extremists.

The Sun are still scum for what they have done to her though.

Hi Alan,

David Spivak is who I've been reading mostly, but yes am early in understanding 
the full depths of category theory.  Familiar with Kerodon by name and general 
gist only.  I'm collaborating with some folks who have relevant degrees, but of 
course I don't.

https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/category-theory-sciences

That said I do believe Calvino and Perec did use category theory in their 
literary work which makes me think it may be relevant.

Here is the kind of neuroscience references a friend has been sending me:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26193173/

So much to learn and so little time!

All best and happy Friday,

Max

The basics of category theory aren't that difficult to understand. It's
also somewhat easy to see where it applies, but to understand where it's
actually applicable, you have to dig deeper into the theory instead of
speculating from outside, I think.

What you're describing, Max, doesn't seem to hold; it's a very exact
discipline.

That said, there's this - https://kerodon.net/ - which I do not
understand, except that it's based on category theory and is reworking the
foundations of math; I think there was a Quanta article on it (but I may
be mistaken).

Neural network theory's been used by neuroscience of course, as well as
AI; the piece I put up yesterday is based on AI of course, bringing the
circulations and fractal resonances to the surface. I'd be careful about
taking difficult concepts and sending them into territory one knows,
without digging deeply into those concepts and understanding them.

There's a lot of simplified explanations of category theory itself out
there. Then there's topos theory which extends that...

Etc. etc., I am humble before mathematicians! :-)

Best!, Alan, be well!

I don't really know. :-)

It seems very popular in computer science at the moment for the most
trivial things that people seem to find mind-blowing, possibly because
it puts them on a better theoretical foundation? So I feel I must be
missing something. And that makes it interesting to me.

I do like it as a way of talking about mappings, the isomorphisms that
you mention.

Other people do also seem to be applying it to interesting things -

I have a few recent blogs at Leonardo.info about the ML grouped under

I think that to still be generating new theories after all this time
says good things about both Leonardo's painting and the power of

I don't really know. :-)

It seems very popular in computer science at the moment for the most
trivial things that people seem to find mind-blowing, possibly because
it puts them on a better theoretical foundation? So I feel I must be
missing something. And that makes it interesting to me.

I do like it as a way of talking about mappings, the isomorphisms that
you mention.

Other people do also seem to be applying it to interesting things -

I think that to still be generating new theories after all this time
says good things about both Leonardo's painting and the power of
mathematics. :-)

Hi Rob,

I've been interested in category theory for a year or so, on a friend's 
recommendation.  Where do you see it applying?  For me it relates to mapping 
networks and to translating concepts and principles between disciplines, and by 
a combination of these possibly art and literature.  (It's even been applied to 
neuroscience I think.)

However, what really caught my attention recently was that I realized after 
learning about category theory that a book I'd been studying for a while, Six 
Memos for the Next Millennium by Italo Calvino, includes elements of it (I 
think).  Calvino describes (Six Memos, pp. 121-22) in a discussion of Georges 
Perec's Life, a User's Manual how Perec based his novel on 42 categories and 
some secret "rules" which I assume are functors or transforms.  Perec's novel 
has some mathematical equations on page 7 which my friend, a mathematician, 
confirmed are from category theory.

The equations on page 7 mention isomorphism, a new word for me recently.  Then 
to my surprise I saw the same word in Hofstadter's Godel, Escher, Bach, chapter 
4.  I had been reading GEB because Calvino references it in the Six Memos, and 
specifically chapter 4 because the title is "Consistency, Completeness, and 
Geometry."  I was drawn to chapter 4 because I have been looking up a lot of 
references to consistency because that is the title of the unwritten sixth 
memo.  I was veritably shocked to find in GEB ch. 4 discussion of not only 
isomorphism, but this quotation:  "In my opinion, in fact, the key element in 
answering the question 'What is consciousness?' will be the unraveling of the 
nature of the 'isomorphism' which underlies meaning."

The same chapter 4 also discusses Bach's Art of Fugue, and what it may mean 
that it was unfinished at the time of Bach's passing, in the context of Godel's 
Incompleteness Theorem.  In Calvino's discussion of Perec on pp. 121-22 he 
discusses the leaving of something unfinished (i.e. Perec's 99 chapters about 
an apartment building with 100 rooms).

I've asked tons of people about this but very few people understand or care 
about both Calvino and category theory.  (There was a recent piece in the LA 
Review of Books about some writers trying to speculate what "Consistency" might 
have been about, but none made any reference to GEB or category theory.  I even 
emailed Hofstadter himself!  He replied kindly that he had never heard of my 
speculation that Six Memos is referencing his GEB, and that he had heard of Six 
Memos but never read it.

This unlucky chain of inquiries has also got me asking about Leonardo's 
approach, because he said "art work is never finished, only abandoned," and 
used a method of "analogy" between disciplines that I think may be part of the 
ML. Then I wonder if the Mona Lisa is a work about his understanding of the 
'isomorphism' of consciousness?

I have a few recent blogs at Leonardo.info about the ML grouped under "The 
Mindful Mona Lisa" and a unique "bridge" theory I am trying to sort out.  I've 
asked a lot of Leonardo experts and they say it's unique, but wrong, though I'm 
not entirely convinced by their reasoning.  

Be safe and well,

Max

The difference with the CIA theory is that the support was *secret*, and
(in the case of the Animal Farm movie) impacted the art in ways that the
artists were not happy with.

That said yes this is functionally equivalent to a continuation of
patronage of the arts by the power behind the throne, just from the
intelligence agencies rather than the church.

Hi Rob!

I once read a book called How New York Stole the Idea of Modern Art.  There has 
often been a degree of government support for certain kinds of art, and for 
some of the literature of that era too.  Who knows maybe even some of the 
literary theory.  

All best,

Max

Re: [NetBehaviour] Links

[Max Herman via NetBehaviour]

Yale has a network studies club for grad students but I think it's mostly about 
robots.  They don't approach it as an avenue for undergrad liberal arts, where 
I think it belongs better.  This is largely because undergrad curriculum is 
controlled by faculty, who have a vested interest in protecting their own 
departments as departments, their garments so to speak.  So intro courses 
perhaps are "the last to know."  It will be a brave school that first offers a 
Network Studies major in undergrad liberal arts.  But it will pay off, because 
it is between and among the disciplines that future progress will primarily 
occur.  Network Studies also fosters G, which is needed most for both 
prosperity and for disaster management.  One institution is interested but they 
want me to write the curriculum for them and that is time-prohibitive, myself 
lacking a PhD period much less one in curricular design.

I do wonder if Plant described the ML as a network map with technology as a 
garment for the human agent.  Whether or no, I think a true network map 
interpretation of the ML could be a significant Netbehavior product and 
starting point for a Network Studies major in honor of Leonardo's 500th year.  
I will try to read the Plant book but my reading list and brain capacity are 
rather full through May, and to be honest I quail before much digital theory.  
Perhaps because it sometimes seems to gaslight me that there was never an 
analog network, or one before humans, but if a loom counts as a computer maybe 
Plant does not partake of that too much.  As to the Gibson, which I have also 
not read and probably cannot bring myself to before writing my own ML essay, I 
sometimes suspect what I am envisioning is more like underdrive.  

Yes I think this is a good thing for much the same reasons you give.

Putting my "They Live" glasses on for a moment, it's interesting to me
that such a key site of the social reproduction of American hegemony
feels that it must change what art means to that culture in order to
satisfy the needs of its ruling- and administrative- class consumers. Or
to put it another way: "Art means different things to different
cultures", yes, go on... ;-)

Plant's work is long overdue a wider rediscovery, and I think you
identify a great link here. Plant discusses the Mona Lisa (and of course
William Gibson's "Mona Lisa Overdrive" given the era) in "Zeros and Ones".

Re: [NetBehaviour] Links

Conversation-worthy links as always!

Regarding the story about Yale changing their intro to art history course, it 
makes sense to me.  There's just no substance left for defending this 
particular version of flat-earth cosmology, so why bother?  Even on its own 
terms it is dismantling itself and was never meant to become what we've made it 
into.  In fact, what we've made it into by teaching it the way we have, 
rendering it almost useless by forcing it to do what it was never meant to do, 
has already been tantamount to abolishing it!

Art history was always meant to be about networks and time but in our myopia 
we've manufactured it into a lot of marketing gobbledygook.  Frankly I think it 
is long overdue for the academic liberal arts at the intro levels to reframe 
themselves in the context of Network Studies -- network biology, systems 
chemistry, network neuroscience, art, philosophy, psychology, physics, 
economics, computer science, every field.  Far from undermining or eroding 
individual experience, identity, and contribution, these interconnective 
phenomena exponentially increase individuality in a fine fabric of mutually 
reinforcing guarantees.

One example of the Yale dilemma is the Mona Lisa.  Just look at the inane way 
it is currently used to funnel massive tourist traffic.  Does this help in any 
way conceivable to distribute the painting's aesthetic or informational 
content?  To the contrary.  It makes much more sense on every level, in terms 
of every discipline implied by the painting or related to it, what Leonardo 
meant by it and how it can still matter, and in terms of its immediate visual 
impact, if you view it in context with dancing Shiva and various henges, the I 
Ching, Adinkra symbols, etc.

The original meaning of the Mona Lisa was to bring in diversity, immediate 
experience, and the great fabric of art, science, and nature, because 
prescriptive orthodoxy is stagnant and medically unsound.  Why not let the 
painting continue its work?  The value of things is never meant to be exclusive 
-- that is overspecialization in evolutionary terms -- synergy and symbiosis 
are always vastly more resilient.

Re: [NetBehaviour] Links

[Max Herman via NetBehaviour]

Hi all,

I've become interested recently in learning about Integral Theory as it relates 
to music and network theory.

After a quick read of the Integral Theory entry in Wikipedia, I would guess 
that some find it good and others not so good.  Sounds like a reasonable place 
to be these days!  Unorthodox approaches to academic subjects would seem 
overall to offer some advantages where academia works poorly, and some 
disadvantages where academia works well.  There seem to be a wide variety of 
ideas about integral theory.

In one school of integral theory AQAL is an acronym for "all quadrants, all 
levels," which means taking a holistic view of lots of states and stages of the 
basic model, the main thesis of which is that phenomena are generally both 
whole in themselves and parts of a larger system (hence integral).  This seems 
like it could relate on a practical level to some aspects of network theory, 
while perhaps risking a tendency toward murky or haphazard conclusions.

In any case, I noticed the following quote that might relate somewhat to 
artifice and artificing intelligence:  "The AQAL system has been critiqued for 
not taking into account the lack of change in the biological structure of the 
brain at the human level (complex neocortex), this role being taken instead by 
human-made artifacts.[63]"

This criticism might be replied to by recent evidence that the brain does 
change quite a bit depending on life-behavior (or what might be called "net" 
behavior), which brain imaging is starting to be able to prove, not necessarily 
in raw brain anatomy but definitely in configuration, emphasis, robustness, and 
connection states, or what you might call the brain's internal network 
behavior.  As to the "role" being taken by human-made artifacts, I guess I'd 
say that there is always some balance between the player and the instrument.  
Is the best instrument an instrument that plays itself, and always perfectly?  
Not necessarily.  Is the best player that which uses no instrument?  Well, even 
the vocal cords and eardrums of the audience are instruments.  Is it best to 
have only one player, one audience, or one instrument?  Likely not.  It seems 
that ideas of "best," "only," and "perfect" aren't very helpful, so how then 
might we calibrate our choices about good and less good, more or less 
worthwhile?  Maybe an idea of applying holistic "system well-being" as a 
baseline concept, along with "individual well-being" and freedom of choice, 
acknowledging the mutual interdependencies of the two, could help, but maybe 
not.

I certainly hope I haven't offended anyone by mentioning Integral Theory in 
this context while having so little direct knowledge of it.  Any errors I've 
made are entirely my own fault, and whatever useful connections might result I 
owe mainly to wikipedia.  As to music, I enjoy playing from time to time but do 
so at a rudimentary level of skill and application.  Even so, I do feel that I 
have experienced a different and in some ways greater level of enjoyment and 
appreciation of music when playing it, especially with other players but also 
in solitude.  My most favorite listening experiences have been a mix of forms 
and genres, some being highly complex and precise forms like Bach (more 
enduring) and others very simple easy to play forms like Bob Seger and the 
Silver Bullet Band (more fleeting).  

All best and happy listening,

Max

PS -- last week I learned of a study at Cambridge U. that showed mice could 
retain highly difficult, complex motor skills only if there was a significant 
yet manageable element of stress and effort associated with the learning 
process.  The presence of cortisol, a stress hormone, allowed "spikes" to form 
on neuronal structures which then developed into the durable connective 
structure supporting the skill.  If the mice were provided with a cortisol 
blocker, the spikes would form during learning but would disappear afterward.  
Also very interestingly, the presence of cortisol needed to be cyclical, not 
chronic, ebbing and flowing with the effort of learning.  If the cortisol 
levels were kept at a constant elevated level, inducing chronic stress, the 
spikes would not appear at all.  I might have the no-cortisol/chronic-cortisol 
effects mixed up; I learned this from a conversation and not from an article I 
can quickly check back on.  This is the type of article though, which might 
provide clues: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5762136/

Re: [NetBehaviour] Links

agree completely with you here; the issue is dismissals on all sides, 
which does affect the ability of musicians to earn a decent wage, for 
example - that's what our four-day-improvisation at Eyebeam in 2012 (I 
think) was about in part -


but then one could say, it's the audience that decides where the money 
goes of course, so if for example robotic music/voice is preferred, then 
why not?


but the one might analyze the culture and what occurs within the culture 
when for example K-Pop dominates, and what happens to those singers and 
musicians themselves? (three have committed suicide recently, one popular 
group is on hiatus etc.).


ah, there's darkness and a little light everywhere -

Hi all  I think it’s much more and that is what surfaces time and 
again in the discussion : music is a human social practice ( like language , 
like all art) - it’s something human beings *do* ( and talk about, then do some 
more) .And this doing involves, whatever the technology, the fact of our 
embodiment. This doing is tied up with but not exactly reducible to some kind 
of communicative impulse - one that refers to  ideas, but more importantly to 
affect... It also refers to itself - to previous practices and how they were 
carried out, to assessments of them  That richness is why I cavill at 
wholesale dismissals ( or indeed endorsements) ‘Truth is always concrete’ as 
good old Vladimir Ilyich said...

Re: [NetBehaviour] Links

[Simon Mclennan via NetBehaviour]

Yes it is sound and music of course. - my friend writes her PhD on sound as 
surface using Deleuze, perhaps she can throw some light one day when she 
finishes it..
Lots of surface detail on that Grimes stuff - maybe the same as the overly 
detailed 8k films now, the cgi stuff is more than we can see with our eyes.
Towards perfection we miss the point. Obsessed with our overly technoistized 
lives to keep the wheels of industry and progress turning. They keep saying 
it’s inevitable - is it? 
But the nice balance of the twanging acoustic instrument and human touch of the 
string / against the shiny one note perfect synth and drums all ai to swing - 
 machine of perfection - we are dirt don’t forget. Machine is maths but 
false ersatz maths - not real maths of the universe of nothingness. Don’t 
forget it’s a magical tramsformation through our consciousness - then our tools 
of logic to make the world easier to live. 
When did we pass it though - now it’s about money init? We don’t need the tools 
no more.

Indeed Michael all things are a product of this world. And as such are 
inevitable. 
Hierarchies therein generate processes and inevitable outcomes.
So yes, there’s great swathes of stuff to sort through. Made via machines. 
I find that type of ultra commercial music dull to listen to - people can do 
cultural studies sure, of these forms. Look good in the old ica bookshop. But 
there is so much good music and art.
I guess if one can shine a light on political or philosophical or moral 
questions, relevances then good on you.
I prefer to actually make music and art. Not talk about bad pop Muzak myself.
Ha ha guess I always put my foot in it.
The carbuncle of the chattering classes.
What’s different about Grimes then? AI in music is it changing people?- of 
course it reflects back into people’s values etc.
Corporate pop has been around a few decades no?
Techno and beats. Beats forever.
Forever beatific eh Alan.

‘what wealth of human practices would a decently ordered and resourced world

There is something class-bound about Grimes (currently dating a
billionaire) and HH (whose last album was their PhD thesis) arguing
about who the future will be worse for. But I suspect that our own
reactions can be similarly reduced to our respective identities.

There's obviously a bigger historical discussion about race, technology,
intellectual property and music that AI and "AI" are just the latest
phase of. Drum machines being prominent in rap and techno and disdain
for them as tools may be related, for example. Given this, I'm genuinely
surprised that AI has been instantly mainstreamed in music in the way
that it seems to have. More like the Fairlight than the 808...

Have to weigh in in this! Grimes. Sorry. Yes — Grimes. Utterly soulless product 
without anything of cultural value to me, musical or otherwise. This discussion 
between these three entities makes me yawn. 
It’s all about money - absolutely nothing else - it’s the equivalent of Smash 
powdered potatoes - worse than that. 
These people are completely without musical talent - the so-name AI is less 
than the dirt under the nails of the Ed Blackwell. 
Technology is only about generating revenue. It does not help musicians - rap 
is a festering sore on the ass of the bourgeoisie. An undeniable itch - when 
scratched and cauterised momentarily it oozes some wealth for a tiny few 
participants. 
Sorry I rarely contribute to this list - and I dig you cats for keeping the 
stuff rumbling along the conveyor / keep it up and — where’s my Jazzmaster and 
homemade inks

It's definitely a discussion we need to have. It reminds me of a dinner I
had years ago w/ Cage who confirmed he criticized jazz because the player
worked with fixed rhythms. Something gets lost in these discussions; Adorno
fails miserably.
Ah well... It relates to my writing about 'somatic ghosting' I think. And I
always feel I have to justify myself (although the audience doesn't feel
it) when I show up playing an acoustic guitar for example. -- Alan

Re: [NetBehaviour] Links

[Max Herman via NetBehaviour]

Interesting assemblage Rob!

I've been thinking about "thought-time" this morning.  It has a lot of 
implications, if true.  Your link about the novel relates to Calvino's If on a 
Winter's Night a Traveler and the novel as a network.  He also says the person 
is a network.  So, the person is a novel, meaning, the novel cannot really be 
much of anything like a book on a shelf, can it?

Distortions of thought-time are also economic -- how to "spend" or direct one's 
thought-time.  Overvaluation, hypervaluation, is an issue of thought-time.  
Scorcese has been pointing out how cinema is dead, there is no thought-time 
duration, no story left in it, no breathing space, just an onslaught of 
"special effects" which are increasingly less special at an accelerating pace.

Thought-time is real, but it not so abstract and infinite as we have often 
thought in western history.  It is a lived experience so to speak, not what 
Benjamin called "homogeneous, empty time" or "calendrical time."

It's not unrelated to the mindfulness initiative in Parliament however, 
especially if we replace "thought" with "consciousness," which is a larger term 
and perhaps more accurate.

This does not intimate a gigantic crisis necessarily, and can even just be so 
simple as "spend your thought-time, ye economic agent, where most it befits you 
and yours in bounty."  Sometimes we think that "the economy should sell/give me 
the things that put my thought-time to best use for me, the community, and the 
planet," but there is a creative agency too in saying "I'm going to spend it on 
what seems best to me, I won't wait to be spoon-fed, and if that means making a 
new mousetrap then so be it."

Best regards,

Max

Re: [NetBehaviour] Links

[Max Herman via NetBehaviour]

Hi Rob,

I found an old conversation about "networkism" from 2007, absolutely could be 
flat-out just plain managerialism -- granted.  Same would apply today.

In an ironic case of composting and random mutation the term does show up now 
in a strange variety of places by internet search, few or none related at all 
to our discussion I wager, and also likely none related to the Mbembe interview.

Funny idea about blockchain -- would that relate to who wrote what, i.e. how to 
distinguish machine writing from human writing?

All best and thanks for good conversation,

Max

Interesting and fun links Rob!  Your name sounds familiar but I'm old now and 
can't remember names for diddly.  

I general don't click on links in emails, due to malware and all that.  Do 
other people click on them?  It reminds me of the old days.  So instead I 
internet search using phrases.  But that's a lot of articles to read!  Didn't 
read all.

Random comments:

  *   Unbuyable and unsellable value:  Adam Smith said that without moral 
judgment, capitalism cannot function.  (Subreference Norbert Wiener paraphrase: 
learning machines can do any repetitive task better than humans, except moral 
judgment.)
  *   Group novel-writing: Calvino said the novel is a network, and that each 
person is a network.  "Novel" derives from "new," meaning, a new genre -- 
longer-form non-factual text meant to articulate a specific take on "the all" 
or most of it.  (See Six Memos on the novel of everything, universal novel, map 
of everything, universal map, etc.  Novel as network, universe as network, 
Bohm's implicit order and dialogue or "information flow" as creative, Smolin's 
ensemble theory via Einstein.)
  *   Satirical news being thought real -- factuality vs. map-consonant data, 
does the fact or the fiction function in the network in which it appears?
  *   AI to write novels: intelligence is network (Olaf Sporns), consciousness 
is network, novel is consciousness, AI is not conscious, AI cannot write a 
novel ipso facto.
  *   On mindfulness: it can be viewed in many ways, but the neuroscience is 
pretty straightforward.  It has a role in brain networks.  For example, the 
practice of mindfulness has a time-delayed impact on the Default Mode Network, 
which is mainly a resting-state network, but DMN also has a role in 
active-state networks relating to self and social locating/mapping (Sporns 
2011).
  *   There is such a thing as fake mindfulness, McMindfulness as the article 
says.  Is all mindfulness fake or a cover-up, or as it is sometimes called, 
"sham mindfulness"?  This is a real debate but not so simple.  Mindfulness has 
a real role in brain function, and hence in artistic expression and perception 
as well as neuroplasticity.  Is it a panacea, no, but is it important?  Maybe.  
One could argue that network consciousness is not possible without mindfulness 
as a modulation factor.
  *   Mindfulness is a thing in the UK Parliament.  Is that therefore partisan? 
 Indigenous and ancient cultures often practice mindfulness in a vast diversity 
of ways; is that aspect of them invalid?
  *   Distributed model of intelligence, Bohm's "participatory thought," 
"thought as a system," etc.

Many apologies if I am seeing a counter-argument where there is not one or 
inventing disputes that are not helpful.  Free exchange of ideas and 
observations can be very productive, so if this is that thanks, and I admit I 
may be very wrong on all topics, but as a Bohmian detachment dialogue action, 
there might be some aspects other than error, I mean, what really is error 
anyway?  Non-factuality?  Maybe aesthetics can be real in a sense even if they 
are not factual, so for example Santa Claus is factual in a sense.

Like many others, may I add a general thanks for these Rob, quite the 
resource:)

I read the 'the day the music burned' article yesterday, and am still 
reeling. It's not unlike the Louvre, d'Orsay & Pompidou imploding (& 
their complete archives) - gone, all gone - but hey, we've still got the 
postcards. What an incredible loss.

Re: [NetBehaviour] Links - Anyone members of coops?

[Graziano Milano via NetBehaviour]

Hello,

I’m actively involved with Rural Urban Synthesis Society (RUSS)
 which is a members-led Community Land Trust based
in Lewisham (South East London), founded in 2009 with the aim of creating
sustainable community-led neighbourhoods and truly affordable homes.

It was a long and hard journey for us, but in June 2018 our first housing
project was finally granted planning permission by Lewisham Council and
soon after that we managed to get a £988k pre-development grant from the
Mayor of London. Our story started a few years earlier when, after a
campaign led by RUSS members, we successfully completed a public
procurement process and signed a Development Agreement in April 2016 with
Lewisham Council for a ‘community-led, affordable, self-build housing
development’ in a derelict former school and industrial site at Church
Grove in Ladywell, South East London.

The project will provide 33 new sustainable, customised, high quality homes
(including 5 social housing) that will be permanently affordable and partly
self-built in order to reduce construction costs. Have a read at the Innovative
Approach to Community-Led Housing

brochure (which I designed) for more detailed info about RUSS’s vision.

In summer 2017, I also successfully led a Spacehive crowdfunding campaign
 to raise £50k+ to self-build
(this summer) a community hub on the same site as a training facility for
would-be community self-builders (may well be used for community arts
projects as well). If you wish to find more about it, you can book a free
ticket for the RUSS Community Hub - Build Launch Event

on Wednesday 15th May.

Nakamoto mentions their sources in the bibliography to the Bitcoin
Whitepaper, so I'm not sure how people lost track of its lineage. Both
proponents and critics seem to have though so this is a very useful essay.

These statements leapt out as things I have been trying to draw people's
attention to:

"by tracing the origins of the ideas in bitcoin, we can zero in on
Nakamoto's true leap of insight—the specific, complex way in which the
underlying components are put together."

"It might come as a surprise to you that Nakamoto doesn't mention that
term [blockchain] at all."

I'm a member of a housing co-op because it's the only way to afford to
live where I do.

The people are mostly lovely, as are their dogs. I was very wary of
joining a co-op but after a couple of years it seems that The System
Mostly Works and there have been no suddenly disastrous measures adopted
at meetings (although the minor missteps always have the potential to
add up faster than I think people realize). It doesn't seem like a
template for a scalable or efficient form of socialism though.

Re: [NetBehaviour] Links - Anyone members of coops?

[Julian Brooks]

Hey Ruth,

Yeah I also found that article of interest too.
Insight from VC's, who'd a thunk it.

I've been digging into Coops for the last couple of years. For me stems 
from a visceral reaction to DAO's & 'Code as Law'. I just immediately 
thought it'd be better to consider them more human-centric - with DAO's 
being such a potential for collectivising power.

So started putting this kinda mental construct together 'Cooperative 
Autonomous Organisations', a sort of 'DAO, Coop, Mutual, Union' - type 
structure. This was to house the participants in the music licensing / 
smart contracts / IP-reinvention post-doc project that I have been 
attempting to raise research funding for (unsuccessfully so far).

I always thought the CoAO would be the trickiest part to put together, 
and was actually planning to work in this during years 3-5 in a 5yr 
project. After getting rejected for funding last October (working w. 
UoMcr proposing to AHRC) I started exploring and getting involved with 
the 'Aragon Project' community (cool people with some astonishing [& 
really-existing] crypto tech-tools).

A small Aragon group started seriously considering and engaging in what 
a Cooperative DAO could be in practice. To this end I put togehter a 
small funding proposal that was voted though by $ANT holders (the Aragon 
token) a couple of days ago (whoop whoop!). So there'll be two of us 
working a couple of days a week each, with additional funds for CoopDAO 
members to also propose paid work a day p.w. to formulate and put into 
practice what this org can actually be.

Quite excited:)

https://twitter.com/AragonProject/status/1122172288462356484

https://forum.aragon.org/t/agp-40-discussion-aragon-cooperative-dao-funding-proposal/783/12

Totally agree Coops are definitely 'a thing' atm. For me, this is a very 
good thing. Also fascinating that (Ethereum mainly?) crypto is very much 
engaging in this too.

I don't know where this is all going, perhaps this is what I like most.
