Praxis for the Global Commons
An interdisciplinary project
to serve global-scale coordination
through sensemaking, value exchange, and regenerative goods.
What is the Meshworks?
The Meshworks provides purpose-driven protocols, applications, and consulting services to bridge social needs with innovative exchanges.
Combining technology with best practices in participatory design, the arts, and education, Meshworking catalyzes change agency through ecologies of practice.
We work on multisector collaborations to enhance value development toward common cause and consilience.
Services
We design and build applications to embed, extend, and scale Meshworking design principles across a range of sectors.
01
Integral Protocol
The Meshworks is designing the set of solution patterns to valorize integral value mapping and sense-making as common goods. As templates, they enable deep translation and praxis across domains and agents to distribute social benefits at scale.
02
Distributed Applications
Compelling, educative tools for prosocial engagement, and inter-generational exchange across ecologies of practice. Applications leverage generative AI, DAO frameworks (e.g. ReFi), and distributed governance for equity building, creative alignment, and resource allocation. Modules draw upon Meshworking principles and protocols for regenerative market collaborations.
03
Civics and Governance
Community-centered applications for deliberative dialog and participatory design, generating new value exchange and plural governance. We apply collective intelligence and orienting principles to guide responsible, ethical use of technologies, and guide holistic accounting lifecycles and investments in common goods.
Principles
Meshworking is an interdisciplinary, integrative, iterative approach to sensemaking and coordination, aiding individuals, cultures, and societies to align towards what is perennially good, beautiful, and true.
Access Points provide a frame of alignment for this approach at the nexus of Identity, Assets, and Values.
Access Points
Activate and align self, culture, and nature toward prosocial,
regenerative development.
Identity
Strengthening sensemaking, trust and mutual recongition through expressive, empowered, creative life pursuits.
Assets
Supporting processes for community development, cultural exchange and incentives to regenerate common goods.
Values
Engaging dialog and perennial wisdom to revivify relationships, grow collective reasoning, and support the epistemic commons.
Protocol
The Meshworks serves as a meta-protocol to iteratively guide, inform, and adapt principles of common cause with ecologies of practice. These are leveraged across three current Meshworking protocols (Access Points, Integral Value Mapping, Praxis). Combined, they operate across domains and contexts to reconcile needs, resources, goals, and desires for global coordination of common goods.
Access Points
Focussed on conscious-organization, Access Points (AP) integrate Self, Culture and Nature toward increasing wholeness and relatedness. AP protocol offer enduring, cross-cultural translation layers to build equity for common interests.
This protocol has targeted use critical for socially conscious media/literacy applications as well as entertainment modules.
Leverages AP + and IVM modules as scalable templates for social impact, where creativity, service, and health may be realized to reduce latency and gaps in critical resource allocation. Sustained praxis enhances insights and capacity for applications toward creative, regenerative, prosocial life pursuits.
This protocol has targeted use critical for civic engagement, from locally oriented through participatory governance applications.
Integral Value Mapping
Praxis
A participatory, holistic vital signs registry aligned toward consilience to facilitate complex-scale coordination.
IVM generates templates for data analysis and insights to leverage circular design and regenerative asset-based community development.
This protocol has targeted use critical for policy analysis toward sustainability evaluation, needs and impact assessments.
Resources
As the Meshworks grows post-alpha, we'll include a network of opportunities with convergent initiatives and practices.
Stay tuned for updates.
