I recently discussed with Dhruv (Kb0) about possibility to present DEB to Polygon:
DHRUV:
i had gone in brief about the basic descriptions of the idea and the potential project for interdisciplinary lab for building systems that mimic the metabolic energy consumption and flow.
this can be represented as building blocks for defining the primitives of the some of the current projects in web3 or the society based systems (sustinable use cases etc.)
the points that you will have to work is to work on the derivation of the system design thinking to come up with the framework that allows this thinking and research to the different economic / manufacturing systems and services in the current society.
if i understand from the description you can define a short proposal on either of the two proposals based on the availablity :
- Either building the community that acts as workshop for the people from various disciplines in formulating the system design research that contributes to the research community / startup studios and hacker space regarding how to build the "DEB" ready socioeconomical systems . thinking it like TEC for this ecosystem. you will have to then define the roadamap of how you will organise the community . (for your help i can define some tools already being used in this field : https://www.systemsinnovation.network/ and https://machinations.io/) .
- Either building a Dapp that will allow the users from various disciplines to co-create the system design aligned to the DEB principles.
given that for your time investments and other constraints , 1st one will be the better alternative
JEANNE:
- The workshop approach is what we have started at TEC. I think we could do both. Building a dApp will be part of the roadmap at some point. More than a workshop this is a lab where art based research works in collaboration with science and tech.
- Regarding building the community, My plan is to develop DEB interwoven with existing projects that have a similar vision, especially the Capital institute, NRythm and other initiatives from Kernel fellows such as this one (Pedro Parrachia) andThe Active Inference Institute which is already connected to DEB.
- Regarding the tools: I would include “Regenerative workflows” (Omega/TEC) and Art Based Research methodology. Interdisciplinary culture is at the heart of the process and is difficult... It requires dedicated tools to use these tools (ahah).
- In addition, we do have existing research projects. For example, Peer-2-Peer Care.
So as a roadmap,
It consists of 3 parallel threads of work:
