The Congressional Order 101 initiative

[Christopher Theodore]

If we likened the mind to a computer and consciousness to the software...

The computer is not being monetized.

The bios & kernel & operating system are not being monetized.

Installed on/in the operating system are many useful default programs, and it is these portions of consciousness that are being discussed as the assets in the initiative.

Now.. using these default programs to developed more intellectual property is possible, but these additional works are not being monetized by the initiative either.

These additional works would be the private intellectual property (copyrighted works, patents, etc..), and they are monetized in a different way. The trouble I had with monetizing them directly at the Treasury, is that they lack the universal value of the knowledge that degrees and diplomas represent. Further, their valuation is difficult to assess until the book or invention makes it to the market... while not absolutely true, "things are only worth what people are willing to pay" is a common saying and until people pay for it we can't say for sure what it's value is actually going to be.


It's not a great metaphor... but it may help clarify it further for some people.
