Help can be provided directly, thereby eliminating the need for a governing body. Each worker who has benefited by being a member of such a mutual aid network, should construct such a network upon gaining new employment. The new network, devoted to the aid of workers at the new company can then engage in cross network support with other networks. Each worker who has left one place of employment and joins another becomes a link between the two networks simply by being a member of both. A network of networks is then formed.
Mutual aid can span networks by providing opportunities for employment.
The newly employed individuals can inform the individuals of the other networks of which they are a member of employment opportunities in their new corporation. Emergent Properties Such networks for mutual aid, the author predicts, will realize emergent properties. For example, once a means of connection exists between individuals with known properties, virtual collectives of these individuals could form in response to opportunities too complex for any one individual to address. If an individual of such a network identifies a need within society or within the economy, the individuals of the network can consider configurations of individuals with the skills and knowledge to meet the need, thereby facilitating the emergence of collectives whose members are maximally configured to turn the need into an opportunity. An emergent property of such a network, therefore, could be the production of self employment.
