PINT Network: Copyleft Paradox
PINT Network introductory publication is a compact form of a lot of complex issues and state of affairs. As we go along, those ideas will be opened up in layers and some sense will be established to proceed into developing concrete processes around proposals.
Quoting introductory publication of PINT Network, on “First Invention”:
“Convenience” of fact discovery and provability, particularly of assets, on decentralized public networks is now destined to be one and the same as oxygen, as it is known to man on ground atmosphere: Naturally verifiable, freely consumable, with common liberty!
Unless you want to synthetically isolate, compress and transport it for an endeavor like that of a space mission; Then it costs, which is a reasonably acceptable effort-inducing and thence profit-oriented avenue. However, who should ultimately decide what is compressed oxygen and what is not? Permissionless co-ordination of actors for interpretation.
Staying metaphorical for a moment to elaborate: If we have rationalized the compression of oxygen as an “effort-inducing” and thence “profit-oriented” endeavor, it may be delivered in a different form compared to free form, yet it’s the same contents, however the delivery is specialized; We gave example of space mission which is a hyper growth endeavor, however it can also be something life-saving such as in case of rescue operations within localized toxic environments, or in aid for the damaged natural organs of the living, or for any physical process that requires high pressure oxygen for value creation in purpose of enabling sustenance.
The problem origin
Challenge: Consider we invent experiences that are delivered transparently: To put simply in example, as a browser or desktop based application that by default, interacts with only those interfaces that are also transparent, for example an interface delivered in source of compiled programming language with instructions for compilation and execution using tools that are themselves of same nature; The experience being our metaphorical oxygen, if some person(s) finds a gap in consumption, that can be only be filled with compressed oxygen, how do they fill this gap by same principles as the delivery of free form oxygen while ensuring their efforts, and efforts of other people involved, bear profit beyond cost of compression? For it cannot be expected of any given person(s) to absolutely sacrifice in the same way as the initiators of PINT Network.
Note: Why we are not yet giving a non-metaphorical example of compressed oxygen, is because we do not want to set any precedent idea of beyond primary purpose use cases of our inventions; To keep the desired ripple effect unadulterated.
The solution may be found in non-absoluteness in redistribution of PINT inventions; And that brings us to DIAO, making distribution a matter of merit, in the hands of merit; If you are not aware of DIAO, you will have to jump to the topic for better understanding of what follows; It’s a novel concept and cannot yet be summarized in a sentence, as nothing so far is published as formal research from PINT Network.
