Charles Adjovu’s Digital Garden

Hi! Welcome to my digital garden. Here you will find my scratch work on ideas I am thinking about.

This site is based on Jacky Zhao’s Quartz theme for Hugo.

This digital garden is primarily for my work on/for the Ledgerback Digital Commons Research Cooperative (“LDCRC”, “Association”).

I am drawn to working on (too) many things at once and running through a learning/research/product portfolio , so expect these notes to cover multiple areas.

Usually the best bet for traversing this digital garden is running through the directories listed below.

Project Portfolio

This is my learning/research/product portfolio:

experiments & surprises in between

I will be writing more about the projects here and on some project-specific newsletters.

I am mostly working on curating resources at the moment for the Observatory and docs for the LDCRC.

-   topic tags
-   start and end date
-   a stage tag: 
	-   🌱 _Seedlings_ for very rough and early ideas
	-   🌿 _Budding_ for work I've cleaned up and clarified
	-   🌳 _Evergreen_ for work that is reasonably complete (though I still tend these over time).
-   a confidence  tag: how likely it is the overall ideas are right
-   a credibility tag: how well-supported the essay is,
-   1-10 importance tag: how important (impact) I think  the idea is to myself, society, scholarship, or industry

2021-11-17 Update

I am changing my stage tag to states of matter (gas -> plasma -> liquid -> solid). I will be updating the pages to reflect this change.

	-   _Liquid_ for work that is reasonably a first draft (though I still tend these over time).
	-   _Solid_ for work that is reasonably complete (a working draft to final draft) and I expect will have few updates in the future

NILS V2.0

Here are my preliminary notes and thoughts on an update to the Nested Inter-Linkage Systems (NILS) institutional-ecosystem model.

I will be writing V2.X updates in chunks rather than one finished essay.

Send your feedback to my Twitter account.

  1. Notes

DGov Score Framework (DGov Score)

  1. DGov_Score-DAO_Index-2021_1111-V0.1 : Updates on a design for a certification mark, survey design for DAO index and first analysis under the survey on dOrg , and future thoughts on an open rating system based on the DAO Index
  2. Introducing the DAO Index : My first update on the project since April/May 2020 for work on a a new version of the assessment based on the Framework that disconnects the organizing principles of DAOs from: 1) other digital organizations, 2) participant experience, and 3) performance. I explain the need for a new survey design and the organizing principles or dimensions that I believe bring all DAOs together. Additionally, some very informative readings that helped me rethink the project and get back to putting some work on it.
    1. Readings
      1. Is a DAO a Panopticon? Algorithmic governance as creating and mitigating vulnerabilities in “Decentralised Autonomous Organisations”
      2. A Prehistory of DAOs
  3. Github Repository : The Github repo stores the docs for the project before my work on the DAO Index. You can find most of the theoretical background for the project here.

Some immediate questions that come to mind with this project:

  1. Will this lead to a decentralized, polycentric, or democratic system of legitimacy ?
  2. Will this project lead to expertise network effects?
  3. Can this project help grow the DAO ecosystem?
  4. Can this project help everyday people better understand DAOs?

Conceptualizing Research Cooperatives

  1. Research Cooperatives as FROs : Are research cooperatives a more legitimate institutional form as a derivative of focused research organizations (FROs) that also focuses on stakeholder dynamics?

Cooperatives and blockchain projects appear to be unrelated until a deeper look is taken into
blockchain projects and their associated communities. Cooperatives and blockchain projects both
promote substantially similar principles and values centered around democratic member control
and the freedom for individuals to come together for their own mutual benefit. There are two
types of cooperativism which expressly account for the ability for blockchain to further
cooperatives, platform cooperativism and open cooperativism. Further, decentralized
autonomous organizations (DAOs), take the combination of blockchain and cooperativism even
further through the cooperative management of an entity that is created on, managed on, and
solely exists on a blockchain. the inner workings of blockchain make it extremely suitable for
meeting the seven principles and values that unite cooperatives across the world and for
expanding cooperative values and principles from local communities to global movements.
