A minor, well-crafted change in this DNA would yield immense transformation of the emergent social behaviour and impact of our species - reshaping our social relations, our economic output, and our collective impact on the planet. This document outlines an holonic, peer-to-peer social coordination protocol. Its core rules are designed to emergently fulfil the following objectives: * Facilitate prosocial coordination, favouring co-creation and collaboration over competition * Fulfil psycho-physiological needs, ensuring wellbeing for all humans * Regenerate the planetary resource ecology, attaining widespread abundance * Remain viable across locations and through time, respecting the local and global boundary conditions of place and planet To realise such a design without falling into the trap of reinventing the prevailing macroeconomic system, we must begin from a clean set of fundamental assumptions. To this end we adopt a tabula rasa approach, where we start by revising our assumptions about our relationship with the world. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.theos.io/the-proposition.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
