New page

A practice of mutual support among [[affiliates]] in the context of an [[open venture]], or applied to an entire [[OVN]] and even across OVN membranes. This is mostly about transfer of tokens (monetary currency) between affiliates, but it can be also about material resources and mutual services.

=The practice=

This practice has been introduced to Sensorica by [[Vinicious]] in 2021. See the first trace of this practice in [http://nrp.sensorica.co/accounting/supply/ Sensorica's NRP].

At the core of the practice lies a [[pool of shareable]] [[resources]] that is constituted by [[commitment]]. In other words, a number of [[affiliates]] commit to give or borrow some type of [[resources]] to other affiliates, based on needs, without bothering with complex metrics to provide access to these resources (no need go through a [[benefit redistribution algorithm]]). A threshold of involvement can be implemented to avoid easy attacks on the [[pool of shareable]] of that particular context. Note that this [[pool of shareable]] doesn't exist physically in one place. All resources reside with their original owners. Then, whoever needs a resource can make an empathic access, which is to
* Make sure that you can, based on [[governance]] - a threshold of contributions may apply.
* Consult the [[pool of shareable]] for the availability of this resource
* Contact these affiliates that have made the commitment to offer it, to provide it to you, and arrange for a transfer. Transfers can be of entire amount committed by a single [[affiliate]] or less. Multiple transfers can be made if the need exceeds any commitment listed.
* record transactions in the [[NRP-CAS]].
Also note that commitments may have an expiration date.

'''IMPORTANT''': The commitments as well as the transfers are recorded in the [[NRP-CAS]] to leave traces. Commitments can be considered as [[contributions]] or as unconditional donations.

'''NOTE''': Empathic access is not the same as access to financial benefits based on [[contributions]], according to a [[benefit redistribution algorithm]], to the [[budget]] or to the [[planning]]. This is a new practice that [[Sensorica]] is experimenting with since 2022, and it is accessible to anyone that meets the above requirements. One of the merits of this practice is to provide access to funding to [[affiliates]] that need it, when they contribute to [[tasks]] for which there is no more cash in the [[budget]]. But this practice is not restricted to these cases.

=Ethics=

The ethics of the empathic access prescribes that affiliates of the venture access based on their needs. Any affiliate of this venture can make an empathic access.

Asking around for cash from peers is annoying, not a good practice and it is highly discouraged. The empathic access process is there to provide based on idle wealth within the pool of participants and needs. Reminding your peers about the empathic access process and inciting them to use it, both ways, is encouraged.

Once a commitment is made it must be kept. Reputation scores may be applied to the practice and a broken commitments in this practice can be treated like any other broken commitment, reducing the reputation score. Commitments can be set with an expiration date, after which the [[affiliate]] is released from the obligation of keeping the commitment.

=NRP implementation=

The practice requires an [[affiliate]] to make a [[Commitment]] (I promise X) and another [[affiliate]] to ask for X or a portion of it, to satisfy some immediate needs, in which case a [[Transfer]] is created.

The [[Commitment]] is recorded in the [[NRP-CAS]] under Supply - see example in [http://nrp.sensorica.co/accounting/supply/ Sensorica's NRP]. It can only be of two types:
* ''Cash contribution'' exchange type: this option considers the transferred cash (once the commitment or a portion of it is fulfilled, whenever another affiliate makes an empathic access) as a [[contribution]] to the venture, and it will be taken into consideration by a [[benefit redistribution algorithm]] whenever it is executed.
* ''Donation''exchange type: this option will not be turned into a [[contribution]], which means that it will not be visible by any [[benefit redistribution algorithm]].

Commitments have an expiry date in the NRP.

When an [[affiliate]] makes an empathic access a transfer must be created. The [[affiliate]] can access the full commitment or a portion of it. One needs to go back to the same exchange page where the commitment(s) have been created and convert the commitment into a transfer. If only a portion of the commitment is used, the balance needs to be reflected on the same exchange page, visible for future transfers. If the need is larger than one commitment it can be sourced from different commitments, made by different [[affiliates]].
