[Converted from multipart/alternative] [1 text/plain] Hi Marc, I'm not sure what specifically you want me to reword ? I'm in a little difficult mental space right now, rather stressed and not very conducive to deep thinking ... my 'survival' is on the line, but I have 3 new job options to choose from, each with a difficult mix of bonuses and maluses .. When that is over, I should be more available, I'll soon be in a new professional situation, Michel On Tue, Jan 6, 2009 at 3:12 AM, marc fawzi <marc.fawzi gmail.com> wrote:
I would trust Michel's re-wording of what I'm trying to mediate (to those who have a specific definition of what P2P is about) and I would use that re-wording in the model's explanations. So Michel whenever you have the time to do this it will be extremely helpful. Thank you.

You may say then what's the difference between joule tokens and money? There is a big difference. It's highlight in the following provable propositions that are each unique to "energy as currency" (as defined in the model) and cannot be attained using the existing system: 1. Convert surplus energy, generated by peers and stored as common inventory, to a new kind of currency (defined under this model as a tokenizer of energy and information) having an absolute value in energy, which does not increase or decrease over time. 2. Direct the flow of "money," as defined under this model (see: Model's Axioms,) using the aforementioned new kind of currency, towards socially, ecologically and environmentally intelligent producers of goods and services. 3. Enable a model of the economy where in order for peers to grow their wealth (comparatively speaking) they have to share it (by lending their money to others.) In other words, "the more you share, the more you have." 4. Enable a model of the economy that promotes sustainable abundance in P2P energy and minimizes the deficit/surplus mismatches between peers in both money and energy.
