In other words, our institutions have become inadequate to deal with current processes. As a corollary of this hypothesis is that p2p is growing because it can better process complexity.

 * Complex Adaptive Systems as Peer Production Models: SFI researchers frame peer production within the lens of complex systems — emphasizing decentralized decision-making, emergent order, and self-organization. This provides strong theoretical grounding for understanding why P2P systems are resilient.
-* Commons and Information-Sharing Networks: The commons, especially digital and knowledge commons, are modeled through evolutionary game theory, network analysis, and simulations of cooperation. Many SFI papers connect Ostrom-style commons governance with computational economics.

 * Innovation, Open Science, and Knowledge Networks: Work from SFI links peer production to scientific discovery, open innovation, and collaborative knowledge creation. This highlights the economic implications of open-source, Wikipedia-like models.

		+	An economic system reproduces / perpetuates itself through every action that agents undertake, by using this system's logic, infrastructure, etc.
		+	Open [[ventures]] share the same environment with traditional centralized organizations (corporations, coops, etc.). Both types of organizations will employ their own logic, within their own economic paradigm and thus will add to the prevalence of the economic model to which they subscribe. Since open ventures and traditional firms feed from the same basin of resources, there is definitely competition them. For example, we can see the friction when traditional firms free ride open ventures by abusively using monetizing and even closing the open source technologies that they have created. Since open venture engage in complex processes, maintaining complex relations with diverse actors in their ecosystem, one thing that traditional firms cannot copy are precisely these processes. The very fact that open ventures are more successful at managing complexity and contain a higher degree of complexity in their processes, they are shielded from competition coming from traditional firms.
