Asgardia sounds like it was an impressive project Dave, even if it was short lived, it was a very interesting experiment, definitely valuable research even if it seemed to have failed, lessons were learned, so it still stands as a valuable outcome.
As you probably know, my current interest is to see us go solar powered, by hook or by crook. My research shows this is happening mostly by Bitcoin, and is resulting in a major change in economy, which we are seeing first as inflation, with the result that together with all of the environment problems, most of the frictions that we currently take for granted , and have a current need to govern, will ultimately be removed.
It is amazing how many problems, including most crime (Driven by poverty!) can be solved by having an infinite bucket of money, I believe.
My latest story on that is ""The Money-Fuel Tree".
But of course some kind of government or management structure is surely still needed to manage things in terms of something like those community human-made trees, and it is likely most of the old kind of government will become redundant, in my opinion.
The first phase of implementing TDG as software would be to do an architectural model of it in a form compatible with software implementation. I usually do things like that by production of a UML/SysML model.
I promise to take some time soon to do a UML analysis of how TDG might fit in, adding some value, and will let you know outcome.
Do you have any diagram illustrations of TDG you could point me to as a starting point, or if not, please could you advise the best textual description place to start?
