Praxis for the Global Commons
A transdisciplinary collaboration committed to addressing global-scale coordination challenges through complexity, meaning-making, value exchange, and regenerative social programs.
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.
We design and build applications to embed, extend, and scale Meshworking design principles across a range of sectors.
Integral Protocol
The Meshworks is designing the set of solution patterns to valorize integral value mapping and sense-making as common goods. These extensible components amplify the effects of multisector praxis to achieve social benefit programs across contexts, applications, and scales of engagement.
Distributed Applications
Compelling, educative apps for prosocial engagement and cultural, inter-generational exchange across ecologies of practice. Applications leverage Generative AI and DAO (e.g. ReFi) frameworks with distributed governance for equity building, creative alignment, and resource allocation. Modules draw upon Meshworking principles and protocols to enhance and promote novel, regenerative market collaborations.
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 ethical use of technologies and to guide holistic lifecycle accounting and investment in common goods.
Meshworking is a creative, synergistic, relational process to catalyze myriad life goals. It's designed to situate, translate, and transcend individual, cultural, and social growth potential toward the realization of goodness, beauty, and truth.
Access Points illuminate these dynamic exchanges at the self-organizational nexus of Identity, Assets, and Values.
Access Points
Activate and align self, culture, and nature toward prosocial,
regenerative change.
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 dynamic dialog and perennial wisdom to revivify our relationships, grow collective reasoning, and support the epistemic commons.
The Meshworks serves as a meta-protocol to iteratively guide, inform, and adapt principles of common cause with ecosystems 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
A quanta of conscious-organization, Access Points (AP) valorize and integrate self, culture and nature toward increasing wholeness. AP protocol offer enduring, cross-cultural, holonic functions serving equity-building across common endeavors.
This protocol has targeted use critical for socially conscious media literacy applications and entertainment modules.
Leverages AP + and IVM modules as scalable templates for social impact, identifying where creativity, service, and wellbeing can be enacted and deployed 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 with orienting principles and standards to facilitate user-driven and global criteria.
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.
