What connects to what

A distributed, climate-resilient alternative to a $270M single-pipeline water expansion across the Collingwood–Alliston corridor. Satellite treatment, managed aquifer recharge, constructed wetlands and a bidirectional smart grid, replacing one supply path with three or more.

Runs the B-Prize design challenge, which in 2026 asked entrants to rethink Ontario's 57 km Collingwood–New Tecumseth pipeline.

The long-running research network documenting peer-to-peer and commons-based practice. I host and maintain its wiki, blog and web presence.

Founder of the P2P Foundation and originator of the cosmo-local framing. Working with him on the infrastructure and launch of the Cosmolocal Foundation.

"What is light travels globally, what is heavy stays local." Built and run the foundation's web presence, blog and documentation stack as it stands up as an organisation.

Co-founded with Michael Zargham and Griff Green to translate Ostrom's design principles into working governance components — conviction voting, augmented bonding curves, and the surrounding cadCAD models.

Promotes digital common goods and shared infrastructure in distributed ledger tech; hosts the annual Crypto Commons Gathering.

Co-living and event venue in the Austrian Alps hosting the movements and communities much of this work grows out of.

Continuous funding decisions where support accrues over time instead of being decided in a time-boxed vote. Removes the deadline that makes governance attacks cheap.

Complex systems engineering practice. Research and communications across computer-aided governance, token engineering, and the systems modelling that underpins it.

Independent collective researching bonding curves as dynamic issuance mechanisms — primary issuance markets that dampen volatility instead of amplifying it.

A primary issuance market with a tribute: part of every buy routes to a common pool instead of the reserve. Continuous funding, algorithmic liquidity, an economic boundary around a commons.

Open-source complex systems simulation used to test governance and economic mechanisms before they touch real communities.

Applying the free energy principle to collective intelligence and institutional design. ActiveBlockference brings active inference agents into cadCAD-style blockchain simulation.

Mycoeconomics and permaculture currencies: reading fungal networks as working resource-allocation systems and asking what they imply for finance, governance and technology in the commons.

Mycelial Design Patterns for Web3 & Beyond — how the evolutionary adaptability of fungi suggests biomimetic alternatives to economies that demand infinite growth on a finite planet.

A reboot of the Commons Stack through mycelial principles — technology-augmented commons growing from the same root system, carrying the P2P Foundation's legacy forward.

Generator that turns an idea into a print-ready 8-page mini-zine. Distribution for ideas that shouldn't need a publisher.

Upload art, generate print-ready files, produce them locally. Cosmo-localism applied to merch: designs travel, manufacturing doesn't.

41,500+ articles of commons research, moved onto self-hosted infrastructure with weekly full-namespace XML dumps and a public image archive, so the corpus survives independent of any one host.

Two decades of peer production writing, kept published and searchable.

Local-first substrate for the interoperability work: encrypted CRDT documents held on your device, passkey identity, programmable flows, and a holonic store where an unfamiliar document type can resolve its own definition.

Every deck, self-hosted, with recordings where they exist. No slide host in between.
