Today I'm seeing @alcinnz and @lightweight talk about "jurisdictional issues" which would be a good topic for a longer conversation, maybe a blog post or wiki page or something...?
We're working in a different tradition of actually decentralized economic networks (where blockchains are centralized in their blockchain, which is a logical central, where each replica of the chain is necessarily the exact same thing.
The other tradition started around 1980 by Bill McCarthy https://www.williamemccarthy.com/ and is called REA, for Resources, Events, and Agents.
It evolved into an economic system model in the late 1990's.
Some of the advantages of that approach: * no huge waste of energy. * can be actually decenttralized ^ can handle manufacturing as well as distribution and exchange * can work with or without money.
But I grant,, does not have the current mind share.. ..
MRP (Material Requirements Planning) was revolutionary. The first business software that did something that could not practically be done manually.
Then it got kludged together with a bunch of older apps that were designed using totally different principles and smooshed together into ERP. But ERP was (and is) a big money-maker
Valueflows comes from a series of projects to get back to the original ideas behind MRP.
Old, very old...in the background of my avatar, you can see the exact middle of nowhere. (I had copied some political slogans from fedi campaigns I supported. I still support them, but the slogans may have lost their context, so I deleted them. May add more as they appeal to me. In general, I am anti-capitalist, pro-woke, and think Fedi can help organize a better economic system.)
