Dear all,

Can you check and edit/add your story?

Brico workshop AMS December 12. 10:00 - 13:00
https://thingscon.org/th-ngs-2024/program/system-design-for-establishing-the-internet-of-people-in-a-post-oil-world/

10:00-10:15 Intro Rob van Kranenburg

10:15-111:00 Frans Jorna, how do the standards (see below) relate to new public building and infrastructure?
Frans, is this OK? Can you also make 15/30 minutes in the form of something hands on?

11:00- 11:30 Spill over into coffee and tea.

11:30-11:45 Hamish, can you present unphone?

11:45- 12:15 Event identities as a concept to bridge high tech/cyberphysical systems and the Iron Age
The first time I heard of event identities was in the context of insurance and liability. If an autonomous/self-driving car would have an accident then the person hit and the person 'driving' would be awarded a temporary identity, as well as the rock the car hit and the water it went into (polluting it). Data from onboard cameras, traffic light cameras, lantern poles would be woven into what then would become an 'event identity'. Liability and insurance would be negotiated on the basis of the event identity not the separate temporary identities of real objects/situations.
What if we could borrow that concept and built event identities with different kind of temporary identities pointing to/denoting proximity, system thinking and affect?
What would that look like? Can we do justice to the move to green and clean energy and the struggle "15 kilometers up the mountain from Mocoa, a Canadian exploration mining company called Liberty copper (Libero cobre) is wanting to extract copper from the mountain in order to " bring on the clean energy transition" (their slogan translated from spanish). I don't think I have to explain to you how this huge mine will destroy this region.”

12;15- 13:00 Everyone: Funding schemes in Europe and globally.

Standards

To finish and to instigate a discussion, we propose a series of indicative standards that test the waters, raise awareness and make visible the gap between where we are now and where have to go. The triple challenges of climate change, peak oil and social breakdown are coming. The question is not if, but when. Our standards are a shock therapy to the current practice of making. The sociability standards are workable and stem directly from the urgencies we have discussed. They will ensure interoperability between all the emerging actors. They require the joining of different actors that so far have not been involved in the making of standards. All technological standards are also social standards.

Proximity
    •    Systems that are designed by at least twenty people distributed across the world.
    •    Systems that are built less than 150 miles from where the raw materials are sourced.
    •    Systems that will not be deployed more than 50 miles from where they are built.
    •    Systems whose components are modular and backward compatible to allow local repair, upgrade and downgrade.
System Thinking
    •    Systems that fix end costs as a percentage on top of publicly available production, transportation and disposal costs.
    •    Systems that communicate the break down of energy costs of pro-dduction, transport and breakdown of the product.
    •    Systems that automatically generate a fixed, public discussion url for each item.
Affect
    •    Systems that encourage face-to-face contact.• Systems that build mutual responsibility.
    •    Systems that encourage conflict.
    •    Systems that during their lifetime will be used by more than 5 people.
    •    Systems that enable strong bonds between people and the environment.
    •    Systems that treat resources as equals.
