"Current economic theory reduces all things to one dimension, that of
monetary value, in fact that seems to be the whole basis of the science.
Yet value is not in itself a one dimensional concept, we value many things
that are impossible to classify in such linear monetary terms, air or
sunlight for example. Complex notions of value require a type of economics
that is itself complex and multi-dimensional, a value system that goes
beyond the trade based concept of material exchange and takes into account
the wider needs of people and planet. We will try to outline such a
complexity based economics here. "
The paper was found at this web site

It strikes me that if one were to imagine a DKR for multidimensional
economics, one would have to imagine links to other DKRs, such as would
cover ecosystems, social systems, and so forth. The architecture for such
an environment, I am finding out, would perhaps be described as a
Heterarchical Hyperstructure, as described at
http://www.calresco.org/lucas/philos.htm
and as may emerge when the heterarchical communities as evidenced in the
various Wiki implementations, at www.memes.net, in particular
http://graphs.memes.net, and at Bernard Vatant's www.universimmedia.com
all begin to link to each other.
http://graphs.memes.net does strike me as the beginnings of a useful DKR,
and, given the TouchGraph navigation tool, it's beginning to have some of
the capabilities imagined for eventual implementation in a
HyperScope. Here, you have navigation, different views, user interaction,
export to a variety of formats, and so forth.
Already, we are beginning to learn a lot.
Many thanks to Stephen Danic for setting up this site, to Alex Shapiro for
linking TouchGraph in, to Bernard Vatant for suggesting something like
this happen, and to Eric Armstrong for asking the probing questions that
necessitated this emerging DKR.
Where might this experimental universe go next? I'd be interested to learn
what it would take to permit memes.net to present views from information
sources other than that which is appended by users, e.g. legacy information
sources and so forth. In order to move more deeply into a HyperScope
implementation, that kind of support would be needed.
Cheers
