Stigmergy is a mechanism of indirect coordination between agents or actions. The principle is that the trace left in the environment by an action stimulates the performance of a next action, by the same or a different agent. In that way, subsequent actions tend to reinforce and build on each other, leading to the spontaneous emergence of coherent, apparently systematic activity. Stigmergy is a form of self-organization. It produces complex, seemingly intelligent structures, without need for any planning, control, or even direct communication between the agents. – Wikipedia
A personality based system can never allow for mass collaboration on a global scale without representation such as that seen in organizations like the United Nations. If the world is to move away from representation and allow all voices to be heard, we need to find methods of collaboration which work with idea and action based systems. Concentric user groups with epistemic communities and knowledge bridges may work for idea based systems; for action, stigmergy may be the best option.
Wer eine allgemeine Emanzipation, eine Befreiung für alle will und/oder für unabdingbar hält, der kommt am Kommunismus nicht vorbei. Auch wenn er oder sie dieses K-Wort für unbenutzbar hält. So greifen manche zum C-Wort und nennen es »Communismus«, was signalisieren soll: Wir gehen noch mal weit zurück und prüfen genau, ob und ggf. was bei den theoretischen Vordenker_innen angelegt war, das sich später katastrophisch auswuchs. Oder noch andere verwenden das moderne »Commonismus«, um die Nähe zu den weitweiten Commons-Bewegungen anzuzeigen, die bekanntlich mit dem niedergelegten Realsozialismus am wenigsten zu tun hatten.
