−	An [[OVN]] is transparent, which means that whoever wants to extract information from it can do it without the need to join it (some info is only accessible to members and this level of transparency needs to be carefully adjusted). An [[OVN]] is open, which means that external agents can easily join it and participate. These two characteristics have a dramatic effect on internal dynamics (we talk about hyperinnovation, exponential growth), on size (we talk about large scale affects), on its ability to adapt (fast feedback from the environment), etc. Openness and transparency also expose the network to danger - intruders, parasites.	+	An [[OVN]] is transparent, which means that whoever wants to extract information from it can do it without the need to join it (some info is only accessible to members and this level of [[transparency]] needs to be carefully adjusted).

	In essence, the ''ingestor'' in OVNs depends on a crowd-based process, everything is [[crowdsourced]]. The ingestor is the process and the means of intaking new stuff and orienting it towards internal proper processes. In other words, the ingestion process is designed to be compatible with the other downstream processes. In terms of architecture, we need for example to link [[outreach]] to [[facilitation]] in a larger [[onboarding]] process.

-Matter is anything which has mass (m) and occupies physical space. Energy (E) is defined in physics as the ability to do work. Any change of state of matter-energy or its movement over space, from one point to another, I shall call action. It is one form of process.

-As mentioned in the Physical spaces section, an [[OVN]] is producing material products, which implies that matter needs to be transported in space to be assembled in one location (different parts can be assembled at different locations and assembled into a final product again at another location). Moreover, the product, or parts of it need to be transported in space to the customer’s site and be assembled and installed.

 We recognize the fact that the IT [[infrastructure]] of [[OVN]]s can affect their nature, as the behavior of agents are determined by formal / established relations and processes. The design of the IT [[infrastructure]] must remain flexible enough and integrate feedback to allow the [[OVN]] to evolve as a living system, a system that has properties of emergence, self-replication, adaptation and evolution, and proliferation.
