This talk is based on research on a new model for interactions in living systems, including human social systems, called identity architecture. The paper is available at this link: https://www.drym.org/IALS.pdf In particular, the sections on "Economic Systems," "Property," and "A Universal System" describe the rationale, underlying principles, and dynamical consequences of an attribution-based economic system. Follow its development at github.com/drym-org/identity and support an ABE project near you!
