Welcome to the Personal Sovereignty Foundation's EcoComics research and development workshop.
We are attempting to implement full Source Freedom for all possible objectives.
We are designing the GNU General Public Law as a legally binding inter-owner "Free as in Freedom" trade agreement to help collective owners choose to create direct-democracy public utilities for cooperative communities.
Property owners who use this contract are able to scale the organization and hosting of source freedom by requiring all profit be treated as an investment from the consumer that paid it.

There is a flaw in the allocation routines of our social Operating System that inefficiently centralizes control of collective holdings instead of causing that control to be distributed according to the amount each user pays above cost.
Profit is traditionally calculated as the difference between the price a consumer pays, and the costs the owners of the physical sources incurred during production. This difference should be understood as a plea from the user that paid it.
Treating profit as an investment from that user maximizes competition and drives price toward costs and therefore profit (consumer investment) toward zero while continuously distributing control as real ownership in physical sources.
Whether the physical sources (means of production) are being managed as a public utility under a representative government or as proprietary holdings in a corporate setting, the consumers of the objects (products) of those sources do not currently gain or lose control in the dynamic manner needed to insure control flows according to those willing to invest as measured by the payment of price above cost.
Because of this, initial investors and organizers of governments and corporations (even when non-profit) retain too much vote weight which becomes a sort of power over newcomers and generally over those that do not otherwise organize for themselves. Another effect is excessively coarse granularity in decision making and general loss of freedom that stymies realistic divisibility and direct democracy.
