Infrastructure for Ruban development
Building the commercial, technological and cultural substrate to jump start the first Ruban Cells. On a mission to develop the pioneer guilds that will all allow a first fully autonomous ruban cell to be fully developed.
The social contract that lets organizations attach and detach entire workforces without orphaning people — the commercial engine that makes the first guilds economically sustainable. The understory of the city.
SOLGAS downdraft gasification: combined heat and power from the land's own carbon cycle, delivering warmth, electricity and biochar to every Kernel.
Liquid holacracy, the Joule, the Human Action Registry — the operating system that lets a community of hundreds deliberate, decide and account for itself.
The films and the media campaign that carry the Rubanian story into the world — narrative as infrastructure.
A constellation of sites — from the atlas to the academy to the treasury — each one an organ of the same body.
Research, custody of the commons' intellectual property, and the international network that will carry the Reticular Fabric across bioregions.
To the people below — for their insight and their priceless advice, mentoring and contributions over the last decade. Without them, Rubania would still be just a dream.
And many others who, through enriching debates, added their grain of sand so that this project could finally take form.
To manifest and facilitate a new way of inhabiting the planet — in scalable equilibrium, regeneratively — to become, at last, the civilization we have been striving toward for so many centuries.
