 '''How do we optimize the flow of [[resources]] in an OVN?'''
 From Coase's transactional theory perspective, information technology reduces the costs of transaction in the utilization of resources in processes, therefore resources can be handled in an open network. The OVN model is designed to make that possible.
 The [[OVN]] organizational model determines how resources are governed. An OVN is:

 Thus, from ''[[openness]]'', it follows that permission to use [[resources]] is more easily granted (also called ''use rights''). The [[commons]], [[pools of shareables]] and [[nondominium]] [[property]] regimes are more suitable in this context to guarantee access to use whenever appropriate. [[Private property]] confers the owner the right to refuse access without justification (if not secured by a [[contract]]), it provides a leverage in terms of access control to [[resources]], to means of production, which can undermine productivity within the network and can even be considered as a vector of [[attack]]. Moreover, [[private property]] can hinder the flow of [[resources]] to [[processes]] since it requires negotiations / arrangements among all the collaborative parties, between owners and users.
 Furthermore, [[openness]] is also about a better out->inward flow of resources through [[crowdsourcing]] or sharing with the surrounding environment. The [[collaborative venture]] requires internal processes to be able to seemingly interface with these types of [[sharing economy]] and [[collaborative economy]] platforms.
 From ''[[transparency]]'', it follows that all accessible [[resources]] are identified and mapped (easy to find, [[inventory]]), that all the information about available [[resources]] is available and easy to understand, that procedures for access and use are clearly described.

 '''Governance-as-Operator Architecture Specification''': The governance-as-operator architecture establishes a clear separation between data management and business logic enforcement in the nondominium system.

[https://github.com/Sensorica/nondominium/blob/main/documentation/specifications/governance/governance-operator-architecture.md More on Github].
 The Resource and Governance zomes (modules) adopt a "governance as operator" paradigm, wherein resources remain static until explicitly modified through governance actions. This architectural approach ensures that all state transitions are governed by well-defined rules embedded within the resource itself. It also establishes a clear separation between data management and business logic enforcement. This design pattern enables independent evolution of resource data structures and governance rules, providing modularity, testability, and swappability.
 Core Architectural Principles:
-The Resource zome operates as a pure data model responsible for resource specification management, economic resource lifecycle operations, and data persistence. It contains no business logic or validation rules, performing only CRUD operations on data structures. All governance decisions are delegated to the Governance zome through well-defined cross-zome interfaces.

 =INFRASTRUCTURE NOTES=
-We added [[location]] to physical assets (equipment/tools, consumables and space) and access rules. See [http://valnet.webfactional.com/accounting/resource/5/ SENSORICA's example of lab space resource], See [http://valnet.webfactional.com/accounting/locations/ Locations]

 This initiative is driven by Tibi, Lynn and Bob.
-* We need to make consumables "followable" so that members who invest in them can follow their use. This means that whenever the use of a consumable is planned the "investor" gets an automatic update. An issue was created on [https://github.com/valnet/valuenetwork/issues/112 Github].
