2. Rationale for creating an
idiosyncratic system we find
in an argument that any
solution that comes from an
economy paradigm will
collapse back to the old
system hence the new theory
could not be generated, and
the solution would not be a
solution. Although in the
analysis we use economic
processes like labor, value-
chain, competition, world
trade etc., as well as Marx’s
historic materialism, or
Baudrillard’s “mirror of
production”, however in
forming an indigenous theory
(e.g. Cornucopia) we
approach the problem from a
different angle, with the
theories and systems that
fundamentally does not have
relation to economy; like
neural/network system, fluid
dynamics etc.
Rationale

3. Relation to Information System
The convergence we are witnessing in our social reality is not merely convergence
of the media channels, content and technologies; it is even more so convergence
of social technologies, infrastructures and entities. Convergence and like
phenomena began the liberalization of the society and its process, however it
seems the infrastructure which was supposed to liberalize the social infrastructure
failed to accomplish its task, since yet again it collapsed back into the social
contract and its rigid infrastructure.
The system that came out of Network Theory failed, since it never utilized the
power of network distribution, as well as idiosyncratic and quirky property of the
network/neural system, as well as it missed to capitalize on the new socio-
economic reality, generating and harnessing evolution of the socio-economic
systems. Actualization of the network/neural infrastructure turned superior
system into suppressed infrastructure, which turned social development
retrograde instead of pushing it forward, or ideally crating an idiosyncratic system.

4. The Matrix
The socio-economic reality does
not even resemble Marx’s historic
materialism (which was morose
enough) and instead of
progressing towards liberalization
of correlations between social
reality and economic forces
(accumulation of the capital) it
developed into an environment
that mutates non value. The
development of the financial
capital market and its impact on
socio-economic forces couldn’t
even begin to be described by
historic materialism, since Marx
never anticipated such a travesty.
The Matrix we ended up in sheds
a light on historic materialism as a
socio-political naiveté. Mutating
bonds, derivatives and the
rest, without any real value related
to it poses a serious threat to any
social institution and the society at
large; which wouldn’t be so
bad, however, there is a need for
system which could be
“uploaded”, after (or even before)
the social contract collapses.

5. • Baudrillard already realized 40
or something years ago, that
Revisiting the references collapsed into
the reality they refer
to, producing the zero
Historic value, the society in utter
travesty mutating references
that have no meaning;
Materialism portrayed accurately
occurrence of socio-economic
forces and their lack of ability
(or strength) to produce value.
On the other hand, Baudrillard
shifted emphasis from the
production as fundament of
historical materialism to the
consumption thus the theory
broke away from Marxist 'labor
theory of value'; as well as he
proclaimed that the labor
power doesn’t need to
actualize as or assume socio-
economic role of labor
power, opening an ideological
chasm for the new system to
take its place. Subsequently
there is a definite need for
revisiting and deconstruction of
a historic materialism: division
of labor, mass
production, competition, world
trade, value chain and such, as
a prerequisite for reaching the
new system.

6. Capital as an Entity
If we accept Marx’s
perception of the
capital as an entity
per se, we could state
that it has a property
of a will, and that it
can break loose from
historic materialism
and even so from the
economy as such as it
could actualized itself
at will, respectively
creating own realities
as well as to contain
the ability to cancel
itself.

7. Game Without a Winner
If we ought to understand
the Cornucopia system we
have to comprehend the
paradigm of a “game without
a winner”, in which the
model – for one to win the
other has to lose – has to be
abolished. Similar
infrastructure of a “game
without a winner”, we find in
a card game Preference,
which is played until all three
players’ main columns are
equal nil. Of course, when
playing on a tournament, the
winner is decided by the
values of the other two
columns, which is basically
determined by the quality of
the game. Cornucopia wants
to go step further, which
presupposes the
infrastructure of high entropy
level, with endless outcomes,
thus tearing the old paradigm
entirely down.

8. System is Outdated
The simple truth is: the system doesn’t
work, and economy is dead, not so
much so dead, but became a
travesty, sucked in the vortex, or better
say black hole, of the same references
which lost the relation to reality, thus
there is a definite need for the new
socio-economic system. Otherwise, we
have the inevitable proof that the crisis
is good for the business of the chosen
elite, and financial markets, and that we
all willingly participate in this conspiracy
against ourselves and the social body.

9. No matter if it is market
economy, command
economy or some other
form of market, a quid pro
quo exchange of some sort
is being actualized, except
possibly in gift economy;
however even in gift
The Market
economy an exchange per
se is bound to happen one
way or the other. If for
example, one is developing
software for free
distribution, which then
becomes a public
good, exchange is never
the less happening; as it is
anticipated by the system.
Could the market seize to
exist if there is no
exchange, and is it possible
to cancel the exchange?
The only solution is yet
again utterly complex
infrastructure which
wouldn’t cancel the
exchange but it would
upgrade it to entirely new
system.

10. Tesla’s idea that one doesn’t
Deconstructing need to produce energy
instead just to use it from
Historic Materialism the space (put the antenna
in the backyard and use the
energy from the
universe), is close to
Baudrillard’s shift from
production to
consumption, which
furthermore opens the door
to the idea of self
sustainability and paves the
way for the new system(s).
11.9.2012 System Cornucopia // One of Three LLC 10
11. Relation to Economy
The basis of the economy
presupposes the product or a resource
which is rare has to have a higher
price (which of course is deliberately
misconstrued as value), which again is
a basis for the supply and demand
rigid infrastructure and mass
production. However if we perceive
the society based on the need and
desires of the individual, what is
occurring is abatement of a supply and
demand rigid infrastructure, mass
production, competition, manufactured
need and possibly a market as such.
What we could perceive in this
equation is social forces influencing
economic infrastructure, as well as
that the process is not one way, it is
more like interaction, or a mutual
influencing through the system of let’s
say, fluid dynamics.
11.9.2012 System Cornucopia // One of Three LLC 11
12. Social Optimum
Financial market becomes a system of public
financing, investing in the projects, production
and development of the markets whose goal is
common good. The other system (for smaller)
projects would be peer-2-peer investments, until
the complex system of satisfying needs and
desires of the individual is not reached.
The product per se is optimal if it is reaching or
even creating first and foremost social (and
individual) advancement, also if it perpetuates
technological advancement, which again have to
serve social and individual development;
furthermore if it satisfies
geographical, ideological and other needs and
desires of the designated community or even one
individual.
Technology would in this case be one of the
important factors in the context of satisfying
needs of production using the collective
knowledge, technology, patents and the
rest, which are to become public good. Robotics
would replace labor. But most advanced thing in
this idea is to create system so complex which
would be able to fulfill the needs and desires of
one and every individual.

13. Solutions
• The only viable capital is a brain capital; hence the project Mindbanking
(http://mindbanking.co) by One of Three LLC Company, which will respectively create a
powerful brain force able to generate the Value, as well as to have significant influence on
financial markets and on social reality. Furthermore it aims to replace homo faber with
homo ludens and labor replaced with creation and rumination (thinking and problem
solving) involving AI (artificial intelligence).
• Deconstruction of retrograde socio-economic infrastructure: division of labor, value-
chain, mass-production, competition, and creating a non-
competitive, collaborative, modular environment with a goal of reaching a social
OPTIMUM; abatement of the social contract with the new system ready to be “uploaded”.
• The only feasible (social) system is a (supra)system, rendering high level of
entropy, flexible to adapt to even a slightest shift, intelligent enough to adjust to any
number of variables and their interactions by itself, organically; as well as to be able for a
constant (self)upgrade, respectively able to create environments and realities.
• Instead of Economy – Cornucopia, which presupposes an abundance of resources which
are to be shared as well as the socio-economic reality being based on needs and desires
of the community and each and every individual.
11.9.2012 System Cornucopia // One of Three LLC 13
14. Cornucopia is Optimum
What we have done here is a redefining and
revisiting an idiom optimum by putting it in a
dichotomy with cornucopia. Paradoxically or
not, none of the two entities lost their
fundamental properties as they are balanced by
the Value.
11.9.2012 System Cornucopia // One of Three LLC 14
15. The Production
• The first stage of the socio-
economic development is
networked modular
producing units/communities;
which can satisfy needs of
the designated community.
• The next phase would be
fulfilling the needs and
desires of one individual. Of
course the production and
the distribution costs would
skyrocket (hence the name
Cornucopia) and immensely
complex production system
would have to be deployed.
In such a case we would
have to resort to AI modules
just to comprehend the
system and respectively to
accomplish it.
11.9.2012 System Cornucopia // One of Three LLC 15
16. Labor would be replaced by robotic machines and AI robotic
entities. Furthermore, labor would be deconstructed as well as class
segregation (without class struggle, using complex systems). That
doesn’t mean the production would cease to exist; it means it would
be transformed into a game. Deconstruction of labor as well as the
labor power would occur as well, not that all the labor would be
Labor
replaced with the robotic power, but the deconstruction would occur
in the context or a paradigm of manufacturing just one product for a
just one individual, where one individual represents one market (or
whatever the idiom would be), bringing also the social class or a
caste system to abrogation. Furthermore the need of the community
or an individual has to be based on a Value not on manufactured
need, as there is also a need to implement the property of a quality
as a category (Aristotle). There is also a need to revisit and
deconstruct or upgrade the Aristotle’s category of quality using
complex systems.

17. The Competition
obsolete
11.9.2012 System Cornucopia // One of Three LLC 17
18. The World Trade
If we look at the modular producing units that satisfy the
need of the given community or one individual we have
to contend the word trade is obsolete, especially
regarding mass production and its distribution laws, as
well as supply and demand infrastructure.
The formation of the price of gold (especially its rise of
around 140 % in the last 5 years), has nothing to do with
production of gold or/and its supply and demand etc.;
therefore the arbitrariness in economy (financial)
infrastructure is already a default, which respectively
calls for a complex system. Furthermore, the economy
system is rigid and slow, and paradoxically it crumples
the production, produces surplus, as well as inhibits the
development of the markets.
Under the new system the production would skyrocket, it
wouldn’t produce surplus, since the production would be
tailored for the community and/or the individual, and it
would create the system in which the Value would be a
fundamental category and there would be no place for
manufactured need, mass production, force-feeding the
market and the competition. World trade would become
peer-to-peer interaction, which would generate billions of
markets.
11.9.2012 System Cornucopia // One of Three LLC 18
19. The System
The system(s) used would be fluid
dynamics and neural
networks, which regulate itself
organically.
Modular networked systems, able
to react instantly on development
or a change of need of the
community and the market(s), as
well as to constantly adapt to the
highest human and posthuman
needs (which in this stage of
development is a need or a desire
to play, hence the homo ludens
ideal).
The social system has to be
advanced, upgraded to avoid
social adaptation, parasitism and
dictatorship of the majority.
11.9.2012 System Cornucopia // One of Three LLC 19
20. Cornucopia
The next step is to create AI modules which could
research/test and create:
• Modules which could research/test current economy
infrastructure.
• Modules which could research/test possibility for the
new economies and new economy infrastructure
implementation and their impact on social behavior
and the social body.
• Modules that would test networked modular producing
units.
• Modules that would test and create complex system
(Cornucopia) based on the needs and desires of the
community and each and every the individual.

21. Computation Variables
Variables (for computation):
production, value-chain, supply
and
demand, quality, distribution, worl
d trade, fiscal policies, financial
markets behavior, global market
behavior and all of its
correlations, taxation, policy
regulations, community behavior
theorems, neural networks
system, fluid dynamics system etc.
