 A ''pool of shareables'' is a set of ''shared'' material (or physical) [[resources]], such as physical space, equipment and tools, consumable materials, etc., in various property regimes, destined to be shared within a network/community, with rules that depend on the property regime of the item and to its own characteristics.

 Another way to look at it is that a ''pool of shareable'' exists as an environment in which [[agents]] feel safe to share, and are even incentivized to share all sorts of material assets (share idle, excess, underutilized assets). For example, why would anyone take a 3D printer from his basement and bring it to the [[Sensorica]] lab, and allow other people to use it? If the lab is seen as a safe environment (no one can steal), if there are people who can provide technical support (safe and secure use), if there is a mechanism in place to repair it in case it breaks down (not only free riding), if there is some sort of mechanism for traceability of who used it and for what (accountability for users) and other such mechanisms, the individual in question may feel safe to share. The [[NRP-CAS]] has been designed with this idea in mind, to provide a network of individuals the security and the incentives to share idle (or excess, underutilized) assets and to put them to good collaborative use. One of the motto that [[Sensorica]] uses is ''Do more with less'', which speaks to sharing and recycling [[resources]] across the network, in any [[process]].
