Summary
The Platform facilitates the delivery and transfer of social, cultural and economic benefits. It enables fulfillment of participant objectives, aspirations and needs. The platform functions to:
- Facilitate mutually empowering interlinkages between participants (see social, see Gamified Platform Play)
Note: ”empowering” is ambivalent to which forms of capital are exchanged—”empowering” is a subjective measure defined by the participants—on purpose. - Provide process templates (info, social, technological) for learned/evolved ways that participants may self-actualize through the platform (the Five Pillars)
- Different member “classes” may utilize different aspects of the platform & in different ways
We serve by:
■ Facilitating the serving, exchanging and interacting between members.
■ Providing beneficial utilities directly.
■ Providing beneficial templates (for autonomous use).
