Market and Enterprises
Think about the Internet : A concrete working implementation of a collective intelligence. Adding a new site makes the Internet to growth and its "behavior" to change in some way. Basically, this collective intelligence changes our behavior in some way too. The key is that the Internet provides self describing mechanisms, some meta-systems, that help to characterize how your site and the Internet interact. As the Internet core value comes from end points, and as long as it will be the case, Internet will help to materialize collective intelligence. Getting support of meta-systems mechanisms at end points level is a major step. The main requirement becomes to get self describing mechanisms to value these last meta systems from a collective point of view. The core requirement is we get more Value. But what is the Value ?
A domain where it should be a little more easier to investigate these issues is the market and the enterprise because there is the Money. The question is how to get more intelligence at the market level and not only more Money? Here doing more Money is not the key question. Is there a way to 'use' the market as it is, to get more intelligence at the market level.
Is the Money well designed to address this issue ? How open money could be useful ?
Let's try to think how this view of Internet could be transposed into an enterprise - market pattern. The market is defined by players, enterprises that make it. The market defines how an enterprise can become a player...
The M.A.D project
is working on this question.
