This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

      I’m looking for good case-study type reads on decentralized and federated architectures, business models, economic dynamics, polities, biological systems etc based on real examples (ie not speculations, whether with or without blockchains).

      Various things on theme: Seen the Netflix culture deck? Lazlo Ba(i will get his name wrong) on Scale Free Networks is a good start See pic. Assorted network and complexity science papers littering my PDF reading list. How deep down the rabbit hole do you want to go?pic.twitter.com/ecwmmf13t3

      At some point, you hit quantum information theory.... Hmm, but now wondering about how Fibonacci progressions interact with network growth. They are the basis for a lot of organic growth, leaf/branch, vein networks etc.

      These are all complex systems things though, that evolve centralized parts to their morphology, and not stay decentralized or federated beyond a phase

      Is temporary decentralization and positional variegation therefore just another strategy? Centralizion vs decentralization have different informational, caloric and adapative efficiencies

      It’s a central question. Perhaps even the central question. Can decentralized systems be structurally stable? I suspect not if the boundary is thermodynamically/informationally open.

          Metastable at best, some sort of entropy. I've been wondering about the energy/information in social systems and how it maps onto chemical systems, and whether money approximates anything... Too many rabbits, too many rabbit holes.
