I like the proposed name "Resource-Based Settlement Experiment (RBSE)", because it makes pretty clear, what it is and does not include anything that might change - because Resource-Based it is, changing that would just make it a completely different project. Maybe there is a better word instead of "settlement". The comments about the term "economy" are just not true. Dear author, please educate yourself and remove that point or correct it (you can read just the first few words on the Wikipedia article about economy - if you don't trust Wikipedia, check somewhere else, if you have references that support your statements, provide them).

Andreas, thank you for your feedback! I have altered my argument to make the reasoning for including the term "settlement" and not including the term "economy" more clear. I hope this addresses your concerns on my comments about the term "economy". Please let me know if you have any other comments or critiques. Barret

Barret, thank you for the changes. I think, it is clear now, and it also matches my own understanding of the terms "resource-based", "economy" and "RBE by Jacque Fresco". However, there is a discussion going on how closed the experiment should be. I am a strong supporter of an open system. All aspects of the project are flexible, as long as people try to find the best solution for all participants. If they don't, I don't see a any connection to RBE or RBEM any more. Andreas
