Key Claims

  • Integral is a federated post-monetary cooperative economy replacing market exchange, profit-driven production, and hierarchical governance with cybernetically coordinated commons-oriented labour reciprocity
  • Time credits function as non-transferable reputation-based ledgers, not currencies
  • Common Ground uses public university as political feasibility anchor
  • Competition is structurally eliminated from both systems
  • AI feedback subsystems guide design optimisation and labour valuation dynamically

Structural Design Patterns

  1. Non-transferable reputation ledger — time credits record contribution without becoming extractable capital
  2. AI-assisted open-source design — crowdsourced CAD with embedded efficiency and environmental constraints
  3. Federated autonomy — nodes autonomous but interoperable through shared protocols
  4. University anchor — government university as political feasibility entry point (Common Ground strategy)
  5. Horizontal governance — no permanent hierarchy, temporary practical leadership only
  6. Codified sustainability — ecological constraints embedded in structural rules, not policy

Relation to Integral Collective

The seven design patterns in ADR 0013 directly inform the bootstrap architecture for Integral Collective nodes and regenerative neighbourhoods. Key transferable elements:

  • University anchor strategy for jurisdictions with existing public investment infrastructure
  • Non-transferable time credit mechanism for labour reciprocity without monetary extraction
  • Federated node model for scaling without centralised control
  • Open-source design platform with sustainability constraints
