1-20100426-113055 1-20100426-114329 1-20100426-113554 1-20100426-115007 1-20100426-115522 1-20100426-120132 1-20100426-115748

Requires:
Goal (1-20100426-114637)
The technate aims to maintain the highest standard of living possible for the longest time possible. This means the technate commits itself to a sustainable hi-tech society that balances the needs of the people with those of the enviroment
Technate (1-20100426-113055)
The term technate refers to an operational area where experts manage the technology.
Expert management (1-20100426-114329)
As many complex parts form the composition of a hi-tech society it takes a hi-level of education to understand just a part of it. Therefore, the people with the knowledge skill and expertise within a given area should make decisions within that area.
Expert (1-20100426-113554)
The term expert refers to a person who has attained a skill and ability in a given area. A person's peer group recognises the person as an expert through the person demonstrating proficiency in the area of expertise to the satisfaction of the person's peer group. Accepted as an expert in a given field the person authorises a person to make competent decisions in the domain of expertise.
Distribution of power (1-20100426-115007)
Experts manage the technological aspects of society within their domain. As no one has expertise in every domain this leads to a distributed form of management.
openness (1-20100426-115522)
Experts in one domain should have access to work that other experts in the same domain have done for the purpose of peer review. Experts may criticise the work of other experts in the same domain. Valid criticism comes from other experts.
science (1-20100426-120132)
The term science refers to both a method and a body of knowledge gain from applying that method. We assume that we can test nature and nature plays fair. We can use experimentation, observation, logic and Occam's razor to gain knowledge about the nature.
appliance of science (1-20100426-115748)
The application of scientific method and sound engineering principles form the only method for retrieving knowledge and developing the technological aspects of society.



Holonic Structure (2-20100427-112721)

Requires:
Holon (1-20100427-103751)
The term holon refers to an autonomous organisational unit that forms part of a self organising structure. The holons form the building blocks of other holons. The technate uses a holonic structure as its basis.
Autonomous management (1-20100427-104110)
Each holon manages its own internal organisation and management.
Communications (1-20100427-104456)
Each holon forms part of a network. To organise its own activities and cooperate with other holon each holon agrees to maintain an open communications channel with, at least one, other holon in the network.
holarchy (1-20100427-112201)
Holons form holons. Groups of cooperative holons can form a larger holon for working on larger projects (such as involving a number holons conduction different operations in a sequence or covering a larger geographical area) as needed. The holons work autonomously and sort out the structure of the larger holon themselves. Larger holons have a dynamic nature and can remain for as long as needed.
Goal directed behaviour (1-20100427-112604)
All technate holons work towards goals. The holon chooses its owe goal but those goals must remain compatible with the technate goal.



Projects (2-20100428-123538)
1-20100428-123232

1-20100428-123442

Requires:
Project (1-20100428-123232)
The term project refers to a planed sequence of work. Work undertaken in the technate follows should follow the form of a project. Experts with a holon should specify and appoint members to each project as need. Project management should follow best practice.
Project manager (1-20100428-123442)
The project manager has the authority within a project. Each holon has the responsibility to appoint project managers.



Technate Functional Sequences (2-20100428-125914)

Requires:
Functional Sequence (1-20100428-124005)
The term functional sequence refers to a hierarchical organisational element within a technate that has responsibility to ensure that holons carry out activities compatible with the overall goal of the technate and each holon has open communications channels with at least one other holon in the network. Therefore, the functional sequences act as a checking mechanism for the holons.
Membership (1-20100428-124150)
Each person working within the teachate will have an area of expertise and a membership of the appropriate holon.
Area of expertise (1-20100428-124314)
Each functional sequence will correspond to a technical area such as agriculture, research, medical, education, energy, space, defence, production etc.
Layers (1-20100428-124615)
A set of function sequences will exist for each layer of the holarchy. One layer for groups, areas, zones etc. A sequences at each given layer will exist so long as the given layer in the holoarchy has holons.
Directors (1-20100428-125233)
Each set of functional sequences at a given layer of the holarchy appoints a board of directors. The members of a functional sequences appoint a director for the sequence they have membership of. The members of the board appoint an overall director for the board. The directors have the authority to stop activities of a holon at their level of the holarchy if the holon carries out activities in opposition to the goals or does not communicate with at least one other holon in the network. All holons within the technate acchept the authority of the director. The director does not have any authority to interfeer in the internal workings of a holon provided it has open communications channels and carries out activities compatible with the overall goal of the technate.



cooperation (2-20100428-131155)
1-20100428-130859

1-20100428-131116


Requires:
Reciprocal altruism (1-20100428-130859)
Cooperation between holons results from reciprocal altruism. Each holon or individual contributes as best it can to the network and so long as it does so has entitlement to services from the network. Individuals should give a set minimum amount of time (16 hrs for 4 days a week as standard unless otherwise agreed upon). Holons state what services they can offer to the network as a minimum. Failure to take and not give equates to failure to work towards the overall goal of the technate.
Symbiosis (1-20100428-131116)
The network of holons forms an example of symbiosis where unlike holons help other others and in turn other holons help them. The symbiosis should mutually benefit each holon where the befit of working within the network out weight the gain for working outside the network.



Diversity (2-20100428-132400)

Individuals (1-20100428-131944)
Individuals have the right to pursue their own lives as they wish, too seek pleasure and have a right to their own life so long as they do not interfere with other's right to do the same.
Discrimination (1-20100428-132319)
Judgments can only consider skills and abilities for a specified task on a individual bases for accepting a or rejecting a person for a position within a technate. A person should not have any artificial hindrance placed before them that prevents them from achieve their best.

Principle of correct principle evaluation (1-20081011-234433)
The person or organization judging if people or organizations meet a principle or class, should use the definition of that principle or class, to determine if the current state and activity of the person or organization in question follows the definition or not. The comparison between the actual state and the principle or class definition should be the only and most important criteria for determining this. If the definition is not specific enough to do this objectively, subjective judgment may be used.
Principle of freedom to make Principles and / or Classes (1-20081011-234625)
