Our Philosophy




 * Bio-mimicry we believe we must mimic nature whenever possible. Nature uses Low Pressure, Low Temperatures and plain Water as the solute. All waste is recycled back at the end of the useful life of the product/organism/material.
 * We believe certain Rules must be followed ONLINE and a slightly different set of Rules for IRL, for OFFLINE. For example, In Real Life Rule #4 must apply "Tools or Machines may only assist, never replace a Human worker". Later when our Project (WETBOP) is completed, this Rule changes to encourage Automation while ensuring there is always work when desired.
 * All decisions ONLINE are made through Group Consensus, with the understanding the Founders may overrule a Decision when they believe it interferes or conflicts with the Project Goals. OFFLINE/IRL all decisions emanate from the Hamlet Consensus and flow upwards to the Village and Region These decisions may only be modified by the specific Hamlet Consensus.
 * The workforce ONLINE are Helpers, Volunteers and active Volunteers. OFFLINE/IRL the workforce is created using the following Rules: One working-age worker per Family and all Singles of working-age not attending school. Working age is defined as ages 15 to 64.
 * Work Groups typically are from six to ten members OFFLINE/IRL and a maximum of 150 members ONLINE. They use Consensus for ALL decisions.
 * Villages only Share locally striving for 99% to 100% self-sufficiency. Limited Village-to-Village Sharing is permitted to meet Local Village Needs as necessary.
 * Work Groups, Hamlets, Villages, Regions are Leaderless, using instead Facilitators, Trainers and Consultants besides the Consensus decision-making described above.
 * All Judicial matters are handled by the closest Village or the Village where a crime or offence occurs. Rehabilitation is always favoured over Incarceration, although Incarceration may, at times be the only consequence possible.
 * Maintaining Equality and Diversity are paramount in every community, in every Work Group, recognizing discrimination based on such things as age, sex, sexual persuasion, race, ethnicity, skin colour, etc. is prohibited worldwide.
 * Farming employs the concepts of Agroforestry, Permaculture, and Field Regeneration for medium to large-sized animals.
 * We believe all of the Resources of the Planet should be Shared as equally as possible by all World Citizens. In plain terms Land ownership is restricted to an Individual House and Lot for each family based on Family size.
