3 – The P2P Infrastructures: Two Axes and Four Quadrants
Abstract: The P2P infrastructures, such as the Internet, are those infrastructures for communication, cooperation and common value creation that allow for permission-less interlinking of human cooperators and their technological aids. It has been assumed that such infrastructures are becoming the general conditions of work, life and society. In this context, this chapter introduces a four-scenario approach which attempts to simplify possible outcomes by using two axes or polarities (global versus local orientation; centralized versus distributed control of the infrastructure). Each quadrant stands for a certain scenario where each technological regime (namely, netarchical capitalism, distributed capitalism, resilient communities, and global Commons) is dominant
need tech w/o judgment for that .. ie: nonjudgmental expo labeling
31
Within this context the following four future scenarios for economy and society are introduced: netarchical capitalism (NC), distributed capitalism (DC), resilient communities (RC) and global Commons (GC). Netarchical and distributed capitalism differ in the control of the productive infrastructure but both are oriented toward capital accumulation and, thus, are parts of the wider value mode of cognitive capitalism. They actually form the mixed model of neo-feudal cognitive capitalism. On the other,
resilient communities and the global Commons reside in the, one might say auspicious, hypothetical model of mature peer production under civic dominance (right quadrants). The next parts shed light on each scenario in separate chapters, also discussing the coexistence of each pair of models sharing a common orientation. Moreover, Part III attempts to introduce a few preliminary general principles for policymaking, and put forward some general policy recommendations with the goal of moving from the left side of the quadrants to the right. Or, to put it in the terms of the TEPS theory, to realize the full potential of an ICT-driven TEP while maximizing the benefits from technological progress for the largest part of society.

Furthermore, crowdfunding platforms, such as Kickstarter, have sometimes enabled the funding and the development of novel, Commons-oriented projects.
if still funding ness.. even kickstarter ish.. not legit free/common\ing
perhaps let’s try/code money (any form of measuring/accounting/people telling other people what to do) as the planned obsolescence w/ubi as temp placebo.. where legit needs are met w/o money.. till people forget about measuring..ie: sabbatical ish transition
1\ undisturbed ecosystem (common\ing) can happen
2\ if we create a way to ground the chaos of 8b legit free people

Part III – The Hypothetical Model of Mature Peer Production: Toward a Commons-Oriented Economy and Society
55
Plenty of attention has been gathering around the Commons (see Ostrom, 1990; Hardt and Negri, 2011; Barnes, 2006; Benkler, 2006; Bollier and Helfrich, 2012). But what is its concept all about? As we will discuss below, echoing Bollier (2014), the Commons might simultaneously refer to shared resources, a discourse, a new/old property framework, social processes, an ethic, a set of policies or, in other words, to *a paradigm of a pragmatic new societal vision beyond the dominant capitalist system. .Therefore, it could be said that every Commons scheme basically has four interlinked components: a resource (material and/or immaterial; replenishable and/or depletable); the community which shares it (the users, administrators, producers and/or providers); the use value created through the social reproduction or
preservation of these common goods; and the rules and the participatory property regimes that govern people’s access to it.
*not new/diff if any form of m\a\p (ie: 3\ use value 4\ rules)
57
Moreover, the mainstream economic theory and many of its prominent indexes (such the Global National Product, GDP) are incapable of recognizing the value produced through various Commons-based projects.
if legit common\ing (ie: the dance) .. no one would be spending time/energy ‘recognizing value’ et al

7 – Resilient Communities
Abstract: This chapter addresses the third future scenario which has a local orientation with a focus on the Commons. In the ‘resilient communities’ scenario there is distributed control over the P2P infrastructures while the focus is mostly on relocalization and the recreation of local communities. It is often based on an expectation for a future marked by severe shortages of energy and resources, and it often takes the form of lifeboat strategies. However, the resilient communities do not build global structures when the issue, according to Kostakis and Bauwens, is how to organize a global counter-power that can propose alternative modes of social organization on a global scale.
ie: how we gather in a space is huge.. need to try spaces of permission where people have nothing to prove to facil curiosity over decision making.. because the finite set of choices of decision making is unmooring us.. keeping us from us.. ie: whatever for a year.. a legit sabbatical ish transition
there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental expo labeling).. to facil a legit global detox leap.. for (blank)’s sake.. and we’re missing it
ie: imagine if we listened to the itch-in-8b-souls 1st thing everyday & used that data to connect us (tech as it could be.. ai as augmenting interconnectedness)

8 – Global Commons
Abstract: This chapter deals with the ‘Global Commons’ scenario which celebrates the hypothetical model of mature peer production. Advocates of this scenario argue that the Commons should be created and fought for on a global scale. Though production is distributed and therefore facilitated at the local level, the resulting micro-factories are considered as essentially networked on a global scale, profiting from the mutualized global cooperation both on the design of the product, and on the improvement of
the common machinery. Political and social mobilization, on regional, national and transnational scale, is seen as part of the struggle for the transformation of institutions. According to Kostakis and Bauwens, this scenario does not take social regression as given, and believes in sustainable abundance for the whole of humanity.

9 Transition Proposals toward a Commons Oriented Economy and Society
Abstract: There is arguably a need for political and social mobilization on regional, national and transnational scale, with a political agenda that would transform people’s expectations, the economy, the infrastructures and the institutions in the vein of a Commons-oriented political economy. According to Kostakis and Bauwens, the latter is not a utopia or just a project for the future. Rather it is rooted in an already existing social and economic practice. This chapter concludes with some transition proposals
for moving toward a global Commons-oriented economy which can take full advantage of the current techno-economic paradigm’s potential in a more sustainable and just way.
need: a whatever/sabbatical ish transition with tech as nonjudgmental expo labeling to facil that seeming chaos (of legit left to own devices ness)
