Contingent authority; "borrowed weight" from platforms.
Political architecture for "Maximum Sustaining" alliances.
Infrastructure enabling multi-stakeholder alliances.
Inclusive networks maximizing value vs. "Minimum Winning" monopolies.
Overcoming the free-rider effect (Olson) through nested scale.
Distributed power with coordination; subsidiarity in action.
Rivalrous but non-excludable resources (e.g. bandwidth, attention).
Active care and maintenance of the digital ecosystem.
Shared ownership and democratic control of digital platforms.
Structure of rules and protocols determining platform management.
Multiple overlapping centers of authority (Ostrom).
The "currency of connection"; bonding and bridging networks.
Reciprocal exchange based on need; distinct from charity.
Circulation of value through obligation to give and receive.

Guardians of heirlooms ensuring intergenerational transmission.
The ability to generate light in darkness; signaling in the deep.
The words "text" and "textile" share the same Latin root:
texere, "to weave."
This is not a coincidence. Humans have always understood storytelling and coding as a form of
weaving—interlacing threads of meaning to create a unified fabric. When we write code or prose, we
are weaving. The Myceloom framework simply makes this ancient connection explicit in the
infrastructure itself.
