Banks, Brains, and FactoriesThinking in Promises for a Future World

Why do we cooperate?
Cooperation enables economic win - resource sharing
VALUE AND PRICE
CURRENCY
TRADE RELATIONSHIP
Civil society
The Great Depression (1930s)
In Economics We Trust…
Borrowing debt (advanced and retarded money)Permission to violate the laws of physics…
• So do I have to pay you back?
• Behind value is trust and desire, not intrinsic accounting
• Borrow once, pay geometrically…
But money is only simple information exchange
• Decentralized agency
• Central semantics
Exchange requires INTENT
The promise is the source of intent by which all promisees and observers may calibrate their expectations….
The voluntary basis of trust….
1. Agents and super agents make promises in a scaling hierarchy
2. An agent can never make a promise about another agent’s behaviour (only its own)
3. An agent’s promise need not be accepted or used by its intended or unintended recipient!
4. An agent makes its own valuations: what you have is only worth what another is willing to give you for it
5. Dependency invalidates promises

The failures of service modularitythe scaling of agency, promises, and semantics
