Draft

Identity Mechanisms
Jurisdictions
As libraries of implied contracts.
Not necessarily defined geographically, but must define how conflicts between jurisdictions are resolved.

Strategic preferences as main influence on the outcome
Manual commands for socializing
Automated suggestions to bring preferences in sync with observed behavior

attenuated needs
the more some means to achieve satisfaction is exercised, the deeper this need becomes
this amplifies both positive and negative effects

(almost) no service that works 100% reliably - communication, transportation, search, and reports are performed by agents with their own limitations and agenda
all UI is built from interaction with agents - e.g., no automated "satisfy this purchase order" button, but you can have an assistant agent to whom you can express such a request (which may fail to be satisfied by mistake or malice)
