After we put up a Hypha Quest for the RE Core team - now @apostol collaborated with @DaYa @MaxVBohn @julioholon @anahealingwords to come up with a structure for a Co-op Proposal to put up for the coming cycle which is due Friday 9th of July.
Renaissance Explorers
Venturing into the endless possibilities of the Regenerative Renaissance and discovering its applications in SEEDS through the Game Guide.
We are the “Renaissance Explorers” - on a mission to co-learn, inspire, experiment, explore future possibilities, propose and respond to changes within the SEEDS ecosystem. To effectively do this, we must have a deep awareness of the game itself by exploring the depths of it and learning about it together.
Our purpose is to make SEEDS and its Game Guide more accessible for every willing player, by decentralizing wisdom and knowledge.
The most important fruit of this purpose is being of service to the Regenerative Renaissance by having people become stewards who understand how to respond, interact and evolve the game of SEEDS.
In order to achieve all this in an empowered and supported manner, we’re putting up a Co-op proposal with a number of points of funding.
What is our Purpose?
Decentralizing Wisdom and Knowledge of the design of the SEEDSystem
To make the logic, the design, the code underlying SEEDS a co-creation of all Seedizens and make it accessible for everyone is a vital purpose and service of RE for SEEDS.
RE co-creates:
-
a framework on how to explore and understand the Game Guide (Exploration Groups)
-
an emergent co-learning journey of Exploration for all SEEDizens (RE Course)
-
a process of how to create proposals for changing the Game Guide.
-
create a variety of mediums through which the Game of SEEDS can be deeply understood by a multitude of people.
Polishing the Game Guide for v.1.0
The RExplorers go through the Game Guide to:
-
raise questions and provide answers.
-
change the layout and wording for easier understanding and better alignment.
-
check intent, logic and implementation of the Game Guide in alignment with the Constitution v.1.0
What are the Renaissance Explorers offering?
Better-than-free exploration of the Game Guide.
Three deeply integrated Spaces providing weekly sessions:
The Inner Space
Encourages the RExplorers to look deeply into their inner world, to expand their conscious awareness of themselves and others. To connect with their inner gifts and how they can bring about the world they would like to see manifested.
Here all RExplorers can share their practices, to be of service to their co-explorers to co-create from an inner space of harmony and purpose and bring that into the Game Guide.
The Outer Space
Takes the RExplorers on a collaborative journey into the Game Guide, explaining the inner workings of SEEDS and actively looking for ways to evolve it.
Here RExplorers create Exploration Groups to engage in this endeavor of improving specific sections of the Game Guide.
The Storytelling Space
Creates diverse media to transmit the wisdom and knowledge in the Game Guide accessible to many different audiences in joyful and inspiring ways.
Here RExplorers bring the Game Guide to life with visual art, music, poetry, articles and of course the most beautiful stories our hearts know is possible.
What will be done with the funds?
Seeds Power for the Renaissance Explorers
We’ve created an organization structure for the Exploration Groups(EG) with a way to incentivize Exploration Group Leaders (EGLs - Eagles) and Exploration Group Game Changers (Wolves) with a sum of §3333 per person/moon cycle.
The purpose of creating this structure is to have a good responsibility and accountability towards doing a focused exploration work and potentially coming up with well made changes for the GG that would greatly improve the usability and governance of Seeds.
This process will also decentralize the knowledge of how the Game Guide works which is vital in order to build a healthy decentralized SEEDS community.
We also want to reward the best proposals for changes in the Game Guide at the end of the three moon cycle (end of September) from a fund of §100k.
Budget: §600k
More on this in the document below. 
“Proposal 111”
We’re envisioning a pool from which each person who is part of Renaissance Explorers can request a small number of Seeds §111 for whatever time they’ve spent playing, working, researching, meeting, arting, meditating, creating, participating and jamming in and for the SEEDS Ecosystem.
7000 value units (example 1h time) of §111 to be rewarded over everyone joining the explorers and participating in the experiment. These Seeds will be spread by a pattern that is formed by the explorers bottom up. Everyone can request units of value for their time input and get 3 flags up for this request and can have no flag down. We will create an initial spreadsheet for this and possibly software.
We can cap this at Xh/month/person. We can also have multipliers 2x, 3x for special tasks. §111 is low enough so everyone can participate and we can allow for the collective intelligence of the group to make sure they’re stewarding the resources in a responsible way.
Some of our principles here are that
- We’re breaking the connection Seeds/USD - with a fixed sum of §111 Seeds - it goes up in value with the public sale which incentivizes people to keep their Seeds instead of converting them to fiat
- We’re breaking the connection between Value - Production. “Unit of value”(UOV) is defined and validated by the community and can include activities that are not traditionally considered “productive”
- We could have multipliers for 111 - x2, x3, etc., and also cap the amount that 1 person can get at ~42 UOV per moon cycle.
That is also going to be a research experiment amongst all these things. We envision that this may birth unexpected works of creativity and play that could have a huge impact.
Budget: §777k for 7000 UOV
More information for both of these funds in the following document:
Art & Storytelling for Renaissance Explorers
Create ~144 art pieces and 72 articles and media from the RE space to benefit the whole SEEDS community. There will be some “art scribing” during the group calls as well as beautifying the aesthetic of the Game Guide. The purpose of the articles and media is to facilitate the decentralization of knowledge around the Game Guide into the SEEDS Ecosystem.
Budget: §200k
More information about this in the document below. For a wider context check out the forum thread.
Reserch & Incubation Program
We would like to facilitate between 2 and 5 Research and Incubation initiatives that would work towards creating meaningful change for the SEEDS Ecosystem. The people and projects who are part of this program will Research new governance & organizational Structures for SEEDS, Create blueprints for DHOs, Develop new software tools etc.
Each project will apply for funding between §50k and §100k which would ideally provide 1 person with enough resources to do focused work on a specific theme for 1-3 months, to make good progress and to deliver value for the SEEDS Ecosystem. A formal structure for semi-collective approval/disproval of these projects is going to be created.
Budget: §200k
