======= Idea for libraries =======

Userfructian property relations existing in the commons is an important part of duel power.

However since we live under the watchful eye of the state, and its property system, maintaining a commons is difficult.

I think technology can help. Specifically, peer-to-peer and cryptographic technologies can add alot.

If you like Web 3 is about peer to peer infrastructure. Web 3.1 was a first attempt at that, which leaned heavenly on recreating standard property relations with in a peer-to-peer and critically a trust-less environment.

Web 3.1 has been a failure, but the arguments for Web 3 still hold.
I think the technology works best when its facilitating sharing, rather then hording. Web 3.2.

What I have in mind is a system that works as a distributed library of things. Tracking the history of objects, and streamlining the sharing, and protecting against abuses of the commons. For example someone borrowing things from the commons, and then selling them into the abuses economy, or repeatedly destroying things.

The approach of Web 3.2 is not trust-less but rather enumerated trust. The technology should facilitate your judgment as to whether you trust someone enough to give them guardianship over some objects in your care.

I think there may be some issues regarding privacy, since trust and privacy are often opposing directions.

I recognize that the commons can often be kept informal and unmanaged, but I still think having a system to make userfructian relations ergonomic would help in the flexibility, scalability and viability of the commons. and of duel power.
