Cooperative-work issuance
Prototype / conceptual Game position: Replace
Prototype: Synergy (Coasys / AD4M)
Mints personal and community currencies only when multiple agents co-sign completed cooperative work, making solo value-creation impossible.
Structural profile
Topology view
Architecture
- Game position
- Replaces scarcity-logic; no value is created without multi-agent co-signed cooperative work
- Value-signal richness
- Personal tokens per agent and organ currencies per community; holonically nested
- Accumulation regime
- Variable; tokens mintable only through co-signed work; redeemable to contributors' original commitments
Medium-of-Exchange Properties
- Divisibility
- Personal and organ tokens aren't a divisible common scalar — each is tied to specific contributions.
- Uniformity (Fungibility)
- Non-fungible — tokens are holonically tied to specific contributor commitments, not interchangeable.
- Durability
- Ledger entries persist, but gaining new value requires ongoing multi-agent co-signing (Proof-of-Integration) — durable record, not durable exchangeability.
- Portability
- Holonically nested within the AD4M/Holochain community — not designed to move outside that specific structure.
- Acceptability
- Very narrow — accepted only within the specific cooperative issuing it (Synergy).
Operation
- Coordination / discovery
- Deliberative; Proof-of-Integration requires explicit multi-agent co-signing for every unit issued
- Governance & issuance
- Membrane-defined community boundaries; organ governance at each holonic level
- Scale & federation
- Variable; holonic nesting spans personal → organ → meta-organ levels with cross-membrane value flow
Anthropological assumptions
- Default ethical orientation
- Rousseauian; cooperation is structurally required to produce any value — solo action yields nothing
- Accumulative drive
- Integration-oriented; solo accumulation blocked at the protocol level
- Status / recognition
- Partially separated; tokens remain traceable to specific contributors and their commitments
- Time preference
- Long — built on multi-agent cooperative commitments and holonic governance, oriented toward institutional and cooperative durability.
In Practice
- Track record
-
Synergy (Coasys/AD4M) is early-stage — a working prototype and whitepaper exist, but no large-scale real-world cooperative has yet run it at production scale. - Governance requirements
- Requires a cooperative structure with agreed rules for Proof-of-Integration (multi-agent co-signing) among members.
- Resource requirements
- AD4M/Holochain infrastructure and a cooperative community willing to co-sign contribution claims.
