Full Title or Meme
A sub-set of living and non-living components what work together in the real-world to increase the information content of the local environment.
Context
- The most current paradigm for digital Ecosystems is the internet taken together with the definitions and components maintained by ICANN, for example the Domain Name System which servers as the root for all URLs used on the internet.
- As originally envisioned the URL obtained with a name lookup that started with the ICAN root server would result in an Identifier in ASCII that was human-readable.
- As the internet expanded beyond its original basis in ARPANET, the new languages and cultures turned to the Identifiers returned by the name lookup into something that was easy to spoof.[1]
- The domain name was defined to be extensible, for example endpoint.company.com can be converted to an IP address by the following steps:
- ICAN root server will provided a link to the .com domain, which can be considered as a federation of business sites.
- .com name server will provide a link to the company.com domain which gets an Enterprise server which hosts a federation of end-points controlled by the Enterprise.
- company.com server will provide a link to one particular server (perhaps one of many) that can services a request.
- further navigation based on the contents of the URL are common, but not germane to this discussion.
Problems
- Everything is in flux.
- We need to know the state of affairs[2] at any given time to plot our own course in life.
Solutions
- We create a Framework for knowledge which is purely an invention of our own collective minds about the way that existing Ecosystem functions.
- We use that Framework to build a new one about how we would like future Ecosystems to function and use that to reason about how to introduce changes that will solve known problems with the existing Ecosystem.
- The page Federated Ecosystem considers how to partition the solution into federations.
