1121 Time Investor Pool (TIP™)
. . . Time Investor Pool . . .

Human time investment is the new commodity of the new economy. Social networks can involve huge investments of time. Up until now, time investments have been difficult to ascertain and keep track of. From now on, by the mere application of Peace Engine™ Time Investor Pool (TIP™) technology, everything will change.

. . . Kinds of Time Investments . . .

Lots of kinds of time investments count for credit in the Peace Engine™ Time Accounting system.
. reading Peace Engine™ Literature
. playing the Peace Engine™ social networking Game
. recording Peace Engine™ copyleft works
. recording Peace Engine™ patent claims
. recording Peace Engine™ trademark claims
. distributing Peace Engine™ copyleft works
. writing Peace Engine™ GPL software
. publishing a Peace Engine™ Survey of Field
. saying or doing Peace Engine™ License anything

. . . Reading Counts for Time Investment Credit . . .

Please slow down enough to read Peace Engine™ writings. They are written in a conversational manner, by means of unforgiving ink upon paper. Reading anything published under the Peace Engine™ License Mark counts for time investment credit in Peace Engine™.

. . . Patent Claim Writing . . .

Some time investments are especially worthy of being recorded in a journal or diary. In so far as patent claims are concerned, one purpose of such a recording is to create a record acceptable as proof of discovery in a courtroom. Such a hand-written Inventor’s Diary (id™) process is essential for the recording of patent claims. This fact of life ensures that each page comprises well written recordings of time investments made in support of the Mission and Goals of Peace Engine™.

. . . The Prime Directive . . .

All time investments presented for credit in Peace Engine™ conform to one primary condition (The Prime Directive). The Time Accounting Transactions must be recorded in a bound volume of some form. The recorded page is scanned into a digital image (of the hand-written page) which is presented for credit.

. . . Tracking Time Is Essential . . .

Please keep track of your time invested in Peace Engine™ and present it (the id™ page within the bound volume) when it comes time for Peace Engine™ to return the favor in some agreed upon manner.

The culture of recording time investments is easily learned in Grade School or is simply learned by practice or by being shown how by a friend.

. . . RESOURCES . . .

The Time Investor Pool (TIP™) is a filed patent claim of Peace Engine™. Please be respectful of the bifurcated patent claim’s royalty free license for embodiment within GNU GPL licensed (copyleft) software.

111O Immortality Beckons Us

111O Immortality Beckons Us

Let us suppose that we created a business corporation designed to be immortal. What would that corporation look like? How would it operate? What would be its Mission and its Principles. Could our immortal creation preserve and present our creative works for thousand year? What would guarantee it.

. . . But Humans Are Mortal . . .

Every adult human knows that it will die someday. Some few among us die in the reigns of terror designed to kill innocents, in the wars designed to kill combatants, or in the plagues, famines, and natural disasters besetting regional populations of humans. In the civilized world, most of us die one at a time, in bed, under less strenuous circumstances. It’s no longer a secret, every human has to die, someday. And you will to. It’s life. For other humans are born every day, and the wheel of life rolls onward, into the future.

From those humans passing before us, what is it that we most desire? From most it is their continuing sentient life that we most desire. It is their story telling ability combined with their stories of our lives, well lived, that we crave. It is our family stories about where our ancestors came from. How our family came to this place we call home. We want to know when and how our family emigrated to this region we call home. We value the artifacts which are family heirlooms. We value the letters, writings, paintings, and works of art created by the generation preceding us.

Let us advance the clock one thousand years. What is it that our descended families most want to know about us, if anything at all? They will want to know the family stories associated with the family heirlooms they have received from us. Otherwise, they will want digital access to all of the family letters, papers, writings, photographs, audio recordings, films, and so forth, that we invested the time in preserving.

Let us roll the clock back to the present time. Knowing that our descendants will will want a digital copy of the family memorabilia, what must we do today to effect the outcome of bringing enough order into our lives so that we may begin to catalog our digital effects for our posterity. This is the closest we are likely to get to immortality in this lifetime so we better accept it and get on with capturing our creative works and cataloging them, so they are in shape for their pending immortality.

. . . Creative Works Live Forever . . .

How many of us, do you think, would want our own creative works to live forever?

. . . GUARANTEE, to Preserve . . .

Let us suppose there exists a place guaranteeing to hold onto our digital artifacts for one thousand years. Our children and grand-children receive the physical artifacts we acquire throughout our life. Excepting for those few family artifacts we ourselves acquired from our parents, grand parents, great grandparents, and who remembers how far back and how many miles an artifact has traveled on it journey into family heirloom status.

Let us suppose that we create some work preserved intact for one thousand years. Assuming humans living one thousand years from now find merit in what we created, would that be enough? Ten thousand years, then. Would not ten thousand years be a satisfactory enough immortality for our work? A million? How many years trigger our sense of having attained enough immortality from earth bound life.

. . . A New Business Model . . .

Let us further suppose that we created a business corporation designed to last forever more. What would that corporation look like? How would it operate? What would be its Mission and its Principles.

The Peace Engine™ is designed to last for as long as human civilization on a mass scale enjoys the benefits of a computerized society, or one thousand years, whichever is the less. The Peace Engine™ is now embodied within twin corporations, one domiciled in Montana and one domiciled in Minnesota.

Peace Engine™ is the theoretical framework within which every Peace Engine™ Corporation must operate. Certain of the Peace Engine™ Articles of Incorporation will sunset in one thousand years. Otherwise, the Articles dictate the manner of the construction of an immortal non-human being subjected to certain limitations–operational parameters–governance–so that the corporation shall operate in perpetuity in a manner of goodwill and mutual benefit among its forty-eight thousand human being owners.

. . . Definitions . . .

A corporation is an example of an immortal non-human being.

Every corporation has an Incorporator and an owner (mortal human or non-)

Humans can be the Incorporate of an immortal non-human being.

The Internet affords the Works of humanity a certain immortality.

111N The Peace Engine™ Mark

111N The Peace Engine™ Mark
January 1, 2009, Lyno Sullivan

Assume that upon a hand drawn page there exists some drawing, writing, production, some Work of Art, in the highest sense of the meaning of Art practiced by a human resulting in an object, a Work being rendered into the realm of copyright, patent, trademark, and other similar meanings, such as shall now exist or be later devised.

When the Creator of said Work places an elevated mark of property ownership such as a registered trademark (®) or affixes a copyright (©) mark to the entirety of a Work, they are establishing a claim to that Work, be it a trademark in commerce or a copy mark of ownership, they rely upon the sense and the duty, of Justice, of other humans in respecting the property nature of that Work.

The Peace Engine™ License Mark serves a similar purpose in a combinatorial manner. When shown by its position elevated above and to the right (in the English Language) of the centerline of some word, phrase, drawn symbol, or similar Work, the Work’s producer does thereby claim said Work to be an original Work and to be licensed according to the Mark of the Peace Engine™ License, signifying a claim of property ownership and a licensing of the various property rights, each according to their kind:

1) copy right and pure copyleft AND
2) patent right and claim GPL bifurcation AND
3) trademark right and information commerce marking AND
4) property ownership (rights in general) AND
5) property marking right.

The property marking right has always existed among humankind. I am gonna go out on a limb and declare that marking property will persist for so long as humankind exists.

. . . Pure Copyleft . . .

Assume that Copyright if a domain. Assume a Work is placed into the domain of Copyright. In the United States, simple publication suffices to place a Work into the domain of Copyright.

Copyleft is predicated upon the existence of a human value called Freedom. Copyleft defines the freedoms granted by the producer of a Work unto said Work’s consumers. Pure Copyleft requires that all consumers are granted copyleft rights to all forms of the original work and all derived Works. Copyleft is a subset of Copyright. Copyleft exhibits the mathematical principle of domain closure, in the sense of transitive closure.

My recollection is that Mr. Stallman does not like the “producer” and “consumer” model of Copyleft flow. Perhaps that is because the terminology implies the existence of a Copyleft Economy, the existence of which I do believe exists, with other commodities than money changing hands.

For example, consider Copyleft flow in the sense of a heart to heart soul information transfer. While that idea might make for an interesting book, “The Soul Flow Economy”™, but this is hardly the time or place for such unusual discourse. Instead, let’s use a less abstract and more practical example of Pure Copyleft.

. . . An Example of Pure Copyleft . . .

Suppose someone wrote a page and marked it with the Peace Engine™ License Mark. Suppose a poet picked up that page and wove it into a poem. Under the principle of Pure Copyleft that poem may need to be licensed under a Pure Copyleft license (when in doubt, it never hurts to affix the Mark). Suppose a musician wrote a song and played it upon a public stage. Suppose an audience member filmed the musician performing the song and put the video upon the Internet. Pure Copyleft follows, to the maximum practical extent, from Work to Work.
