In the 1960s and 70s, the inventor and designer of the Geodesic Dome R.Buckminster Fuller or “Bucky” as he was famously known toured the world lecturing up to five hundred times a year about his “World Game Series” that would spark a “design revolution” leading to billionaire levels of wealth for every man, woman, and child in the world.
Bucky claimed that the design revolution would be spontaneous, it would leap and hopscotch over all bureaucracy, and would not require participation or support from political leaders. The World Game was the summary of Bucky Fuller’s grand vision of the future of humanity.
Ultimately, Bucky proposed, humanity would figure out a way to “plug every television set in every living room” into this type of mainframe that he described. Once we had the “know-how” to perform that task, Bucky said the world would be ready for “abundance economics” to form via the elegant distribution of the world’s energy supply along his concepts for the “world energy grid” around the year 2000.
Sadly, Bucky Fuller died in 1984, and never got to see his predictions emerge such as the internet, decentralized cryptocurrency and web3 decentralized structures.
Big Mother DAO is applying many of Bucky Fuller’s design principles and bringing them into web3 actualization, primarily in the areas of governance and economics as well as it applies to a novel new type of creator lab, which we call a Studio Novità.
With the unique narrative funding that emerges from a Studio Novita project, we are demonstrating an implementation of something like (but not quite) Bucky’s World Game in the form of our first project “Why not World Game?”.
We demonstrate how a global community can “spontaneously collaborate” in a Studio Novità to effect change in measurable ways using decentralized structures relying on digital wallets, and we call this project pilot “Why not World Game!?”
Bucky’s “World Peace” Game
Bucky’s original concept for a “World Peace Game” was to offer the world a “comprehensive informational resource database” that would become an “educational simulation tool” that could be used to resolve considerable global issues such as “over-population” and the “uneven” distribution of global resources, primarily energy, into the form “billionaire” levels of wealth that could be directly distributed to every man, woman, and child in the world.
Bucky’s message was also surprisingly greeted beyond national or ideological borders; he was openly received by all forms of governments and ideologies. This message was somehow able to move beyond divisions that we are familiar with today, earning him the reputation as the “friendly revolutionary”.
Bucky’s “Design Revolution” to replace politics as usual.
Since 1968, Bucky declared that humanity had for the first time in human history the exact design science and engineering know-how to create a unique global opportunity; “total success for all without disadvantaging any”.
Bucky had an urgency to his message, lecturing up five hundred times a year in a 365 day calendar, eager to pass off his complete design principle in the capable hands of future designers.
While lecturing, Bucky would stress that “The World Game” was not a “political problem” to be worked out and decided by political leaders, but rather a “design revolution” to be developed by environmental architects, scientists, engineers and artists through a form of “spontaneous collaboration”.
Bucky is the real Satoshi
Bucky died in 1984 and many generations have forgotten. Yet much of web3 design reflects a lot of Bucky’s thinking.
Bucky predicted that such an interconnected and cooperative system would emerge. New economic models, based on abundance instead of scarcity, would also emerge. We call Bucky’s design principle for economics as “BAE” Economics, or “Billionaire Ascension for Everybody“.
The emergence of world wide web3 is providing a demonstrative environment where some of Bucky’s design principles for “decentralized distributed networks” are already beginning to form organically and something like Bucky’s “World Game” is closer in development than many would suspect.
Come participate with us
The DAO of Big Mother is creating an opportunity for designers, creators, technologists and researchers to build on-top of Bucky’s World Game principles in a dynamic new type of studio, fund, and design lab.
We will do this by piloting an actual Bucky “BAE” economy as a form of self-funded bootstrapping. We will then scale this fund to distribute to any start-up or non-profit organization that is advancing web3 efficiency over Web2 frailty.
We will demonstrate at each step how this small BAE economic model is over-delivering on individual expected value while requiring no loss or competition.
PiP: The Private Internet Page
Introducing PiPs, Private Internet Pages™. The Private Internet Page, or PiP, is a totally private HTML5 content page that cannot be indexed by search algorithms or collected by third parties. The PiP exists on a single channel, single page location, and can be changed dynamically.
These pages then become distributed through a decentralized P2P network spread across mobile devices which trade in units of five seconds of attention, a true sharing economy.
A⟹P distributive abundance
This sharing economy models A⟹P, which builds upon Bucky Fuller’s “abundant economics” of solar energy, applied to media marketplaces and human attention.
Aiki Wiki: Mutually Resolving Consensus Algorithm for the world wide web
Bucky Fuller’s “World Game” was the original inspiration for Aiki Wiki an online platform for mutually resolving consensus and mutually resolving transactions between ideological divides, without a third party and without the necessity of voting.
Decentralized consensus building that produces verifiable, open, transparent and collaborative outcomes to ideological or problematic differences in digital social media environments.
Big Mother’s DAO is introducing a new innovation for online conversation; mutually resolving consensus building, originally designed to be a companion to Bucky’s “World Game”.
This project has received high enthusiasm and endorsements for the potential of this algorithm for law, finance, and governance, so it is important to build our foundation methodically and properly.
9×3 Narrative Logic
This project is the heart of Big Mother DAO and we often refer to it as “Aiki Wiki”, but the underlying logic and natural language we call 9×3 narrative logic.
This algorithm works by applying an intuitive narrative structure combined with a flexible ternary paraconsistent logic as an overlay over large online group conversation.
When we think of decentralization, we tend to think of a set of centrally organized events collapsing into a collection of individual sets, wallets, or decisions.
Narrative logic is a discussion algorithm that decentralizes a whole system consensus psychology, therefore it decentralizes large group consensus into a collection of paired sets, which means two individuals, two wallets, two decision makers, two viewpoints within a larger consensus process who both share equal permission power.
9 x 3 narrative logic guides an online discussion into a very subtle form of gamification in such a way that will only allow for a “win-win” programmatic outcome to emerge between ideological divides through written conversation where a group conversation decentralizes into paired 1 on 1 conversations.
