Governance of resources

 Note that all matter is essentially contained energy, per mass-energy equivalence, but don’t concern yourself with physics or chemistry here unless you want to!  Most physical resources contain multiple types of energy and matter.  For example, many consumer products contain dozens of physical materials, as well as contained energy which is accessibly stored within batteries.
-Physical resources are essential to life, and are valued for physical and chemical traits such as building material or food, fuel and energy, etcetera.  They also function as the mediums which contain and transmit media resources.

 Deeper Description & Linkage is highly applicable to designing and describing complex physical resources.  More specifically, key systemic inputs and outputs are often physical resources, and outputs are often products which require extensive research and development, including strict specification not only of products, but of production systems.

 The [[NDO]] is, architecturally, an implementation of Ostrom's finding. The ''GovernanceRule'' entries embedded in ''ResourceSpecifications'' are exactly the "locally evolved institutions" that Ostrom identified as the mechanism of successful commons [[governance]]. The peer validation of [[economic events]], [[PPR]] generation, and role-based access control are the "monitoring and sanctioning" mechanisms she observed. This theoretical grounding is not academic decoration. It justifies specific design choices: governance rules must be embedded in the resource (not in a separate administrative system), enforcement must be peer-based (not authority-based), and participation in governance must generate reputational stake for participants.

-The main idea in the [[OVN]] model is to implement resource in the [[NRP-CAS]] in a way that they are decoupled from organizational contexts, [[venture]] or [[project]], and treat them as composable, free floating building blocks across the network. This is related to [[credentials]], [[identity]], [[individual profile]] and [[transaction]]. See work on [[Vallueflows]], [[hREA]] and [https://www.sensorica.co/ventures/infrastructure/nondominium, Nondominium]. The economic argument is to reduce costs to innovation and production by recycling and reusing resources, reducing idle time of resources (latent or unused capacity) and to increase potential by providing a large number of permutations for assembling resources into creative and productive activity.
