By implementing a comprehensive strategy that tackles critical challenges head-on, OYG provides the tools people need to resolve their pain points, and not only achieve unprecedented growth, material abundance, an artistic and scientific renaissance, but also preserve wildlife habitat and find general individual satisfaction.
#1 The OYG app gives users access to the network of the community where they live, whether that’s a village in Cameroon or a suburb in Los Angeles. They may use their connection to go beyond the physical boundaries of their community and they may be familiar with many features and the underlying technology is similar and may work on the similar servers, but the language and data on local resources, government, media, currency, and so on are unique to their community. Their community is the ecosystem for which they are stewards and their neighbors are their proximate resources. They are influenced by and may direct influence the members of their community; they are mutually interdependent.
#2 A community’s OYG network is shaped, colored and managed by the consensus of the community members, and each member has a voice and a vote about every decision.
#3 The chat stream in an OYG network acts as a community forum. It has a quality of permanence. Discussions in which community members read and/or comment are supported by an AI assistant that is trained to forward conversations for collective action or decision. The AI summarizes, offers information, manages polls and generally facilitates collective action.
#4 The polling function in an OYG network differs in several ways. We are used to seeing polling that is paid for by a public agency, scientific study, journalism or private interest that drafts questions with some purpose in my mind. Unlike this, any member may poll their OYG community about anything of mutual concern to the community. An AI assistant may be used to clarify topics and show the community’s position with reports on the status of consensus in the community. The AI may draft messages to media and government about community consensus.
#4 Peer-to-peer and multi-party communication is available for members on the OYG network to connect everyone in the community’s directory both in the community and the wider world.
#5 The OYG enterprise functions give members access to resources they need to start and operate cooperative businesses; such as childcare, homecare and healthcare services, and to reach a local or global marketplace, obtain permits, education, etc.
#6 Wealth Generation functions give members access to use aggregate wealth and purchasing power of the community. A coop may form to purchase energy, water, telecommunications technology, provide banking and financial services, manage apartments, etc.
#7 OYG networks includes a disaster resilience module provides resources and communication in the event of disasters and assesses a community’s vulnerabilities and brings the community current to risk mitigation and helps the community use its collective strength to obtain support from government.
