    • with the intention of sharing in github space
    • and practicing merging algorithms

          • shared document mode
            • [[priority]]
      • nice thing about [[etherpad]] in an activity yesterday is that it can be ephemeral; it can be unstructured; it can have structure

[[agora]] governance

• users control it by coding nodes however they can
• users control it by proposing changes to its contract
• users control it by forking and merging agoras
  • it should be one command essentially
• [[jonathan]]
  • difference in skill between users means difference in power
  • power is held by people who host?
    • yes, I agree. reducing this power, making it easy to host, is a priority.
• two [[threads]]:
  • what is stimulating from this vision
  • reflecting on the dangers

how did the presentation for the masters go?!

• a lot of the discussion that happened with the jury, in particular a philosopher, was centered around
• "this project seems like it’s situated in [[social design]] and it’s important to read works in this space, concerning in particular to risks"
• western / colonial gestures / white saviour complex

[[armengol]] the problem of getting things into [[shareable]] state

• [[flancian]] defaults to sharing all :)
  • [[armengol]] tries to understand why he wants to say something, what’s behind it; to process, filter, etc.
• example problem: where should we meet after this? been thinking about [[coordination problems]]; how we relate to [[digital information]].
• thought about [[rules]] and [[principles]]
  • [[aside]] [[contract]], [[devine-lu-linvega]]‘s [[a cheatsheet on discourse]]
  • [[identity principle]] — in a digital context you are your information as shared in the [[digital ecosystem]]
  • [[fashion]]
    • [[barthes]]
• if we are planning on sharing a [[space]], imposing [[rules]] can be a form of [[violence]]; you are limiting and bending other people’s identities
  • rules for the self converges to [[free will]]
• [[principles]] are a common understanding of something. they can be used in subsets with a purpose.
  • principles could be in [[contract]]
  • when people interact, they try to follow all [[contracts]]
• [[a cheatsheet on discourse]]
  • three gates
    • [[is it true]]
      • relevant principles:
        • there is no absolute truth
        • reality can be described from many valid subjective perspectives

[[push]] [[armengol principles]] based on our relationship with information in a digital context

• [[identity]]
  • [[you are your information as manifested]]
• [[individuality]]
  • [[each individual has different needs]]
• [[linkage]] (connectivity?)
  • [[we are a network]]
• [[contract]] (spatiality?) (commonality?)
  • [[communication]] is only possible when you share common spaces
    • (discussion about definitions of space and communication here)
    • [[do]] discuss [[communication theory]]
• [[origin]] (synchronicity?)
  • every piece of information has been created at a moment in time
• [[accumulation]] (historicity?)
  • you can not change the past — append only
• [[meaning]] (diachronicity?)
  • you can only connect the dots looking backwards

[[push]] [[armengol rules]]

• we are used to working with markdown. it functions as a common space; it is not just the file, but the associated systems to deal with the files and link them.
• what if we have a place where we can work together on these files.
  • [[stoa]]?
• if we override the words of others, this is invasive. but if we don’t agree on a shared context, communication cannot happen.
