Re: What's Permanence about?

| Jerry, I believe you're right in pinning down the Rights Economy as an approaching possibility. In fact, Microsoft has already attempted to implement this model, with its .NET initiative. The idea is exactly as you describe, to lease access to servers holding the actual software apps.
I'm curious about the inscape overlay displaying both values for each individual part and for the whole of the object. How, then, is the value of the nanites determined, without getting into Swift's infinite regression of fleas?
Also, how is value determined for objects that are unique, or whose value is wildly different depending on the situation and the buyer? Value, same as meaning, is rather difficult to represent as a static point. To me, it is more a vector connecting purchaser (potential or otherwise) and object. |
