The objective of the project is to test the predictions by the theories behind the [[Resource-Based Economic Model]] from a social standpoint, i.e. the ability of a community to live and thrive without trade, property or authority, and the capability of its citizens to self-govern and contribute to the community's goals, supported by a systems infrastructure based mainly on open computer software.
