ProxSets are Arbitrary but Useful

(r] proxthink.com

Most, if not all, ProxSets are somewhat arbitrary. But ProxSets are needed, to focus attention. Yet they also need to be flexible.

You need to use ProxSets to focus attention, but you need to allow them to change. It goes back to the Core Idea of ProxThink: “In a situation, change elements, relationships and the proximity to better relate to each other.” In this case, a ProxSet is an element in the proximity of your situation. 

Proxri Deal: As you find our relationship rewarding, proxri with the proximity in mind.

Press Release: How to Create a Sustainable Proximity

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

How to Create a Sustainable Proximity

A short guide called “How to Create a Sustainable Proximity” offers a new approach. People can use it for an area, home, park, neighborhood, community, region, context, environment, business, group, organization, etc. If we create many sustainable proximities, they will start to overlap. People are free to use this guide. It is based on the ProxThink sustainable proximities approach. It allows people to relate to a proximity they care about in a new and more direct way. It leverages technology and networks in a different way by applying a new growth model. “How to Create a Sustainable Proximity” is available at the following link:
http://proxthink.com/blog/2009/12/24/how-to-create-a-sustainable-proximity/

—— (end of release) ——————–

Open Source and Sustainable Proximities

(r] proxthink.com

Do you think the sustainable proximities approach outlined in How to Create a Sustainable Proximity would never work? That people can’t be trusted, or it needs an enforcement mechanism, or some other objection?

Well, the open source software development process is an example of the sustainable proximities approach in action. They don’t call it that of course.

The ways they track their progress are, in effect, ProxMonitors.

Places and ways they share information are RelatePoints.

The open source agreement itself, and their decisions to work within it, is a kind of Vadi Agreement.

Their contributions of time, energy, expertise and code are proxri.

In working (and playing) this way, they have created a sustainable proximity. The proximity is the ecosystem of the particular software and the people related to it.

Do you see it?

I’ll come up with some other examples.

Proxri Deal: As you find our relationship rewarding, proxri with the proximity in mind.

Good News, Bad News, Support Not Crush

(r] proxthink.com

The Good News
I think I’ve invented a better way to organize civilization, or at least parts of it, in a networked world. It’s called the sustainable proximities approach. I’ve distilled it down to a short “how-to” guide, which you’ll find here:
How to Create a Sustainable Proximity

The Bad News
Doing so is ruining me financially. 

Support (Instead of Crush) an Innovator
So far, I’ve found, innovators sometimes get crushed. Bring back some of my faith in humanity. Please make a financial contribution here.
