Mycelium Plan

Designing a Self-Regulating Mycelial Economic Network

Core Biomimetic Principles

Real mycelial networks have properties we can translate directly:

  • 1. Distributed sensing - Every node detects local conditions

  • 2. Resource flows to need - Nutrients move toward deficiency automatically

  • 3. Redundant pathways - Multiple routes between any two points

  • 4. Adaptive growth - Network extends toward resources, retreats from toxicity

  • 5. Information sharing - Chemical signals warn of threats, opportunities

  • 6. Symbiotic relationships - Multiple species/systems benefit simultaneously

The Architecture: Five Interconnected Layers

LAYER 1: The Trust Substrate (Foundation)

Reputation ledgers - Not credit scores, but multidimensional trust networks:

  • Contribution history - What you’ve added to commons (skills shared, resources gifted, knowledge contributed)

  • Reliability index - Do you fulfill commitments?

  • Reciprocity patterns - Do you both give and receive?

  • Ecological impact - Net positive or negative on local environment?

Technology: Distributed ledger with privacy protections (zero-knowledge proofs mean I can verify your trustworthiness without seeing every transaction)

Self-regulation mechanism:

  • Bad actors lose network access organically (like immune system response)

  • No central authority needed - local nodes collectively flag patterns

  • Redemption pathways exist (rebuild trust through contribution)

LAYER 2: Resource Allocation Networks

Mutual credit clearing houses - But evolved:

How it works:

  • Every bioregion/community operates a credit commons

  • Credits issued based on productive capacity + ecological carrying capacity

  • No interest, limited accumulation (credits decay slowly if hoarded)

  • Clearing happens in real-time across network

Example:

  • Community A has solar surplus, needs food

  • Community B has food surplus, needs medical equipment

  • Community C has medical equipment, needs solar tech

  • Network automatically identifies triangular trade, settles instantly

  • All three communities better off, zero debt created

Self-healing property: When one node suffers shock (drought, disaster), network automatically redirects resources. Like mycelium sending nutrients to damaged tree.

Technical implementation:

  • Algorithm: Flow optimization (graph theory, similar to electrical resistance networks)

  • Data minimization: Nodes only share need/surplus signals, not everything

  • Multi-scale: Neighborhood → City → Bioregion → Continental → Global

  • Each scale operates independently but can upscale trade when beneficial

LAYER 3: Commons Stewardship (The Shared Resource Layer)

Planetary commons:

  • Atmosphere (carbon budget)

  • Oceans (fishing quotas)

  • Forests (lumber, biodiversity)

  • Water systems

  • Mineral resources

  • Digital infrastructure

  • Knowledge/research

Governance structure:

  • Ostrom’s principles updated with tech:

    • Clearly defined boundaries

    • Rules match local conditions

    • Collective decision-making

    • Monitoring by accountable monitors

    • Graduated sanctions

    • Conflict resolution mechanisms

    • Recognition by larger authorities

    • Nested enterprises (for resources at multiple scales)

Self-regulation:

  • Real-time monitoring (sensors, satellites, community reporting)

  • Automated feedback when approaching limits (like dashboard warning lights)

  • Extraction rights tradeable within network BUT capped by ecological regeneration rates

  • Regeneration credits - Those who restore commons earn drawing rights

Example - Forest commons:

  • Forest produces 100 tons sustainable harvest/year

  • Network divided into 1,000 extraction credits

  • Loggers need credits to harvest

  • BUT: Someone plants trees, restores degraded land → earns NEW credits

  • System incentivizes regeneration, automatically limits extraction

LAYER 4: Capability Building Infrastructure

This is how we “lift the floor”

Universal Basic Services funded by commons:

  • Healthcare

  • Education

  • Housing (via land trusts)

  • Internet access

  • Energy (community solar/wind)

  • Food security (community gardens, CSAs)

Plus: Capability Development Network

  • Skills exchange - Learn welding, teach coding, all on internal credits

  • Tool libraries - Expensive equipment shared (workshops, medical devices, farm machinery)

  • Mentorship networks - Automated matching based on skills/interests

  • Starter capital - New members get initial credit allocation for necessities

Self-healing property:

  • When someone loses livelihood, they don’t fall out of network

  • Basic needs guaranteed, retraining support automatic

  • No “lost decade” of poverty trap

  • People can take risks, innovate without existential fear

Technical implementation:

  • Smart contracts for automated allocation

  • AI matching for skills/mentorship (but human-overseen)

  • Federated identity - Your verified skills/credentials portable across network

LAYER 5: Innovation and Emergence Layer

Where new technologies, businesses, and solutions arise

Open-source by default:

  • All publicly funded research → commons

  • Patent pools for essential tech (medicine, clean energy, water purification)

  • Proprietary innovation allowed BUT:

    • Must pay commons dividend (percentage of profits)

    • After X years (maybe 7?) enters commons

    • Can’t be extractive of commons without restoration payment

Funding mechanism:

  • Quadratic funding for public goods (small donations amplified by matching funds)

  • Network votes on research priorities

  • Successful innovations reward creators but enrich commons

Self-regulation:

  • Technologies evaluated for ecological/social impact before scaling

  • Community right to refuse technologies (like Amish but informed by systems analysis)

  • Harmful innovations face graduated restrictions

The Self-Regulation Mechanisms (How It Actually Works)

Feedback Loops - Inspired by Living Systems

1. Resource Flow Regulation (Like Blood Sugar Homeostasis)

When any node shows surplus/deficit:

Surplus signal → 
  Broadcast to network → 
    Nearest deficit matches → 
      Trade pathway opens →
        Flow until equilibrium →
          Pathway remains open at low capacity (in case needed again)

2. Quality Control (Like Immune System)

Bad actors detected through:

  • Pattern recognition (fraud, extraction, abuse)

  • Multiple independent verification

  • Community flagging

  • Algorithmic anomaly detection

Response:

  • Minor issues → Warning, reduced credit access

  • Moderate issues → Suspension, mediation required

  • Severe issues → Expulsion (but can reapply to different node after rehabilitation)

3. Growth Regulation (Like Cell Division Controls)

Network expansion governed by:

  • Ecological carrying capacity assessments

  • Social capacity (can new members be integrated well?)

  • Resource availability

  • Gradual scaling only

Prevents cancer-like exponential growth that destroys host.

4. Adaptation Mechanism (Evolutionary Learning)

Every transaction generates data:

  • What worked? What failed?

  • What made people happier? What caused conflict?

  • What regenerated ecosystems? What damaged them?

AI analyzes patterns, suggests rule adjustments BUT: Humans decide on implementation Network learns and evolves, like adaptive immune system

Planetary Healing Integration

Every economic action has ecological accounting:

Ecological Currency Alongside Social Currency:

  • All production/consumption tracked for:

    • Carbon impact

    • Water use

    • Soil health

    • Biodiversity impact

    • Pollution/waste

Your ecological balance matters:

  • Net positive? Earn regeneration credits

  • Net negative? Must pay restoration fees OR do restoration work

  • Neutral? Just fine

Regenerative businesses favored:

  • Mycelium cultivation, reforestation, ocean cleanup earn premium credits

  • Extractive industries face higher costs, restrictions

  • Incentive structure automatically pushes toward restoration

Bioregional Adaptation:

  • Dry regions: Water-wealth tracked carefully

  • Forested regions: Carbon sequestration monitored

  • Coastal regions: Ocean health metrics

  • Urban regions: Air quality, green space

Self-healing: Damaged ecosystems automatically attract resources (like nutrients flowing to wounded tree). Communities compensated for restoration work.

Practical Implementation Pathway

Phase 1: Pilot Networks (Years 1-3)

Start with willing communities:

  • Find 5-10 neighborhoods/small towns globally

  • Diverse contexts (urban/rural, Global North/South, different cultures)

  • Install basic infrastructure:

    • Mutual credit system

    • Skills exchange platform

    • Tool library

    • Basic commons (community garden, solar array, internet mesh)

Measure everything:

  • Economic resilience

  • Social cohesion metrics

  • Ecological improvements

  • Member satisfaction

  • What works, what doesn’t

Phase 2: Regional Networks (Years 3-7)

Connect pilot communities:

  • Build inter-community trade

  • Harmonize credit systems (exchange rates between different networks)

  • Shared commons management

  • Regional resource pooling

Add complexity:

  • Manufacturing cooperatives

  • Larger scale renewable energy

  • Healthcare networks

  • Regional food systems

Challenges will emerge:

  • Different cultural norms about reciprocity

  • Disputes between communities

  • External economic shocks

  • Attempts at corporate co-option

Learn and adapt: Document every crisis, solution, failure. Build the immune system.

Phase 3: Continental Networks (Years 7-15)

Scale to millions of participants:

  • Interconnect regional networks

  • Harmonize governance

  • Build redundant pathways

  • Integrate with (not replace immediately) existing systems

This is where it gets real:

  • Can network withstand hostile governments?

  • Can it resist corporate capture?

  • Can it handle diversity at scale?

  • Does self-regulation still work with millions of nodes?

Key tech developments needed:

  • Scalable distributed systems (likely quantum-resistant by now)

  • Energy-efficient verification

  • Privacy-preserving transparency (seems paradoxical but possible)

  • Interoperable standards

Phase 4: Global Mycelium (Years 15-30)

Becomes genuinely alternative to debt-based system:

  • Billions of participants

  • Majority of essential goods/services traded within network

  • Old system still exists but shrinking

  • Network demonstrates viability

At this scale:

  • Can negotiate with nation-states as equals

  • Controls enough resources to influence climate action

  • Can lift floor for all humanity

  • Self-regulates effectively across cultures

Technical Stack (Concrete Tools)

What we’d actually build this with:

Distributed Ledger:

  • Holochain (agent-centric, not blockchain) OR

  • IOTA Tangle (fee-less, scalable) OR

  • Custom DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) optimized for resource flows

Governance:

  • Decidim (decision-making platform)

  • Loomio (consensus-building)

  • Custom sortition tools

Resource matching:

  • Graph databases (Neo4j)

  • Flow optimization algorithms

  • Machine learning for pattern recognition

Identity/Reputation:

  • DIDs (Decentralized Identifiers)

  • Verifiable credentials

  • Zero-knowledge proofs

Communication:

  • Matrix protocol (federated messaging)

  • IPFS (distributed file storage)

  • Secure Scuttlebutt (offline-first social)

Sensors/Monitoring:

  • IoT networks (soil sensors, air quality, water)

  • Satellite data (deforestation, ocean health)

  • Community-verified data

Addressing the Hard Questions

Q: Won’t powerful interests destroy this? A: Resilience through decentralization. Can’t kill what has no center. Also, becomes “too big to fail” once millions depend on it. Strategic growth in sympathetic jurisdictions first.

Q: How do you prevent it from just replicating capitalism? A: Built-in constraints:

  • Credit decay (can’t infinitely accumulate)

  • Ecological limits enforced automatically

  • Governance is participatory, not plutocratic

  • Commons ownership prevents monopolization

Q: What about people who want to opt out? A: That’s fine! Coercion is what we’re moving away from. Network needs to be so beneficial that people choose to participate. Hybrid systems possible.

Q: How do you bootstrap without initial capital? A: Start with abundant resources (time, skills, local materials). Commons built through sweat equity. As network demonstrates value, attracts funding/members. Snowball effect.

Q: Different cultures have very different values. Can one system work for all? A: No! That’s why it’s mycelial, not monolithic. Core protocols allow interoperability, but local variations encouraged. Kurdish communes operate differently than Danish cooperatives, but they can trade.

The Vision Realized

Imagine 2050:

A young person in Lagos wakes up. Their housing is secure (community land trust). Breakfast from local food cooperative. They spend morning learning AI ethics via open-source university, teaching younger students music (both on time credits).

Afternoon: Working on coral reef restoration project. Earns ecological credits that grant access to community maker-space to build solar still design they invented. Design will be open-sourced; they’ll earn credits as others build it.

Evening: Community assembly (their turn in sortition) discussing water management. Vote on proposal using liquid democracy - they voted directly, their neighbor delegated her vote to a trusted elder.

They check their ecological balance: Net positive this month. Carbon sequestered through reef work > emissions. Feels good.

Their uncle in Detroit has fallen ill. Network automatically reroutes resources - Detroit node receives medical supply surplus, Lagos node gets manufacturing equipment they needed anyway. No one made a profit. Everyone better off.

This isn’t utopia. There are conflicts, failures, problems to solve. But the baseline is secure. The floor is high. The planet is healing. And they’re free.

This is buildable. Not easy. Not quick. But buildable.

The precise mechanics of how this actually functions as a self-regulating system. Mathematical and Algorithmic foundation.

The Core Self-Regulation Engine

The Fundamental Economic Equation

In mycelial networks, resources flow based on gradient differentials + resistance. We can translate this directly:

Flow Rate = (Surplus_A - Deficit_B) / (Distance + Trust_Resistance)

This creates automatic equilibrium - no central planning needed.

The Three Control Systems

1. HOMEOSTATIC CREDIT REGULATION

Problem: Traditional money accumulates, creating inequality and hoarding.

Solution: Demurrage-based mutual credit with regenerative feedback

The Math:

  • Each node can issue credit up to their Productive Capacity (PC)

  • PC = (Skills × Time × Tools × Resources) × Ecological_Multiplier

  • Ecological_Multiplier = (Regeneration / Extraction) ratio

Credit decay function:

Credit_Value(t) = Credit_Initial × e^(-λt)
Where λ = decay constant (maybe 0.001 per day = ~30% annual)

Why this works:

  • Holding credits costs you value (like storing ice cream)

  • Incentive to spend/invest/circulate immediately

  • But slow enough for planning (months, not hours)

  • Accumulation becomes impossible past certain threshold

Self-regulation: If too much credit in system (inflation signal), decay rate auto-adjusts upward. Too little (deflation signal), adjusts down.

Technical implementation:

  • Smart contracts calculate PC in real-time

  • Satellite/sensor data feeds Ecological_Multiplier

  • Credit balances auto-decay on distributed ledger

  • No human decision-making required

2. RESOURCE ALLOCATION VIA NETWORK FLOW OPTIMIZATION

This is the actual “mycelium” part - the algorithm that moves resources to need automatically.

Mathematical foundation: Based on Optimal Transport Theory (how to move distributions efficiently)

The Network Graph:

  • Nodes = Communities/Individuals

  • Edges = Trade relationships (weighted by trust + distance)

  • Each node has: Supply vector S, Demand vector D

The Algorithm:

For each resource type r:
  1. Calculate net position: Net(r) = Supply(r) - Demand(r)
  2. Identify sources (Net > 0) and sinks (Net < 0)
  3. Solve minimum-cost flow problem:
     
     Minimize: Σ(flow × distance × friction)
     Subject to:
     - Flow conservation at each node
     - Capacity constraints on edges
     - Non-negativity
     
  4. Execute trades automatically
  5. Update trust weights based on fulfillment

Why this creates healing:

  • Damaged node (disaster, shock) shows up as massive deficit

  • Algorithm automatically identifies optimal suppliers

  • Resources flow from multiple sources (redundancy)

  • As node recovers, flows naturally reduce

Concrete example:

  • Hurricane hits Puerto Rico node

  • Deficit signals: Medical(-1000), Food(-5000), Water(-10000), Power(-2000)

  • Algorithm identifies: Florida(Medical+200), Cuba(Food+3000), Dominican Republic(Water+8000), Texas(Power+500), Mexico(all categories with smaller surpluses)

  • Trade pathways open automatically

  • Multiple redundant supply routes prevent single point failure

  • Aid flows without bureaucracy, immediately

Technical implementation:

  • Uses Gale-Shapley algorithm (stable matching)

  • Or Hungarian algorithm for assignment problems

  • Or Network Simplex for larger scale

  • Runs continuously in real-time

  • Can be verified by any node (transparent)

3. ECOLOGICAL CONSTRAINT ENGINE

This is what prevents the system from becoming another extraction machine.

Every economic action has shadow ecological accounting:

The Planetary Boundaries Framework: Nine critical thresholds (from Stockholm Resilience Centre):

  1. Climate change (CO2 < 350ppm)

  2. Biosphere integrity (species loss rate)

  3. Land use change (forest %, wetlands)

  4. Freshwater use

  5. Biogeochemical flows (N, P cycles)

  6. Ocean acidification

  7. Atmospheric aerosol loading

  8. Stratospheric ozone

  9. Novel entities (plastics, chemicals)

Each region gets allocation:

Regional_Budget(boundary) = Global_Safe_Space × (Population_Share + Ecosystem_Service_Share) / 2

The Self-Regulation:

Every transaction has ecological cost:

Eco_Cost = Σ(Carbon + Water + Land + Biodiversity_impact + Pollution)

Dynamic pricing based on scarcity:

Real_Price = Base_Price × (Current_Use / Safe_Threshold)^elasticity

When approaching boundary: price → ∞
When far from boundary: price → minimal

Example:

  • Fresh water abundant in Norway: nearly free

  • Fresh water scarce in Jordan: expensive in credits

  • BUT: Desalination powered by renewable energy? Credits earned

  • Captures true scarcity, incentivizes efficiency + innovation

Regeneration Credits:

  • Plant forest → Earn carbon sequestration credits

  • Restore wetland → Earn water filtration credits

  • Rewild land → Earn biodiversity credits

  • These credits = extraction rights elsewhere in system

Mathematical proof of healing: If (Total_Regeneration_Credits) > (Total_Extraction_Credits) Then: Planetary_Health(t+1) > Planetary_Health(t)

System is hardwired to heal.

The Integration: How All Three Work Together

Scenario: Network responds to climate feedback

  1. Global CO2 hits 380ppm (approaching danger zone)

  2. Ecological Constraint Engine activates:

  • Carbon_Price multiplier increases across network

  • High-carbon activities become more expensive

  • Low-carbon activities become relatively cheaper

  1. Economic incentives shift automatically:

  • Fossil fuel extraction credits become prohibitively expensive

  • Renewable energy projects earn premium credits

  • Reforestation/ocean farming becomes highly profitable

  1. Resource Allocation Algorithm responds:

  • Capital flows toward carbon-negative activities

  • Labor/skills redirect to regenerative work

  • Innovation incentivized in clean tech

  1. Credit System reinforces:

  • Carbon-negative activities earn permanent credits

  • Carbon-positive activities pay demurrage penalty

  • Network automatically funds transition

  1. Result: Without any central authority deciding, system self-corrects toward planetary health.

  • All decisions recorded on ledger (transparency)

The Bootstrap Problem - Solved

How do you start with zero resources?

Phase 0: The Seed (1 community, 100-500 people)

Week 1-4: Trust Mapping

  • Members list skills, resources, needs

  • Map existing informal exchanges

  • Identify commons (community space, tools, knowledge)

Week 5-8: Initial Credit Issuance

  • Each member gets 1000 starter credits

  • Based on verified skills/resources, can issue up to 5000 more

  • Mutual credit: Your debt = Someone else’s savings (sums to zero)

Week 9-12: First Trades

  • Simple exchanges: Childcare for vegetables, carpentry for tutoring

  • Tool library established (shared capital goods)

  • Credits flow, trust builds

Week 13-26: Complexity Increase

  • Small cooperative businesses form

  • Shared solar installation (funded by member credits)

  • Food co-op established

  • External goods purchased by pooling credits

Month 7-12: Ecological Integration

  • Begin measuring: Water use, carbon, waste

  • First regeneration projects: Community garden, compost system

  • Ecological credits start flowing

Year 2: Network Connection

  • Find 2-3 other communities doing similar work

  • Establish exchange rates between credit systems

  • First inter-community trades

  • Harmonize ecological accounting

Year 3-5: Regional Network

  • 10-20 communities interconnected

  • Shared renewable energy

  • Regional food system

  • Manufacturing cooperatives

  • Medical networks

The Math of Growth:

Network_Value = n^2 (Metcalfe's Law)
Where n = number of nodes

With 100 nodes: Value = 10,000
With 1,000 nodes: Value = 1,000,000
With 10,000 nodes: Value = 100,000,000

Network effects are explosive. Early adopters get massive advantages as network grows.

The Defense Mechanisms

Problem: Powerful interests will try to destroy this.

Solutions:

1. Decentralization = Resilience

  • No headquarters to raid

  • No servers to seize

  • No CEO to arrest

  • Data distributed across thousands of nodes

2. Fork Resistance

  • Network value is in trust relationships

  • Can’t just copy code and recreate value

  • Like trying to fork Wikipedia without the community

3. Economic Moat

  • Once millions depend on it, politically costly to attack

  • Becomes “too big to fail”

  • Cross-border nature complicates nation-state control

4. Strategic Growth

  • Start in sympathetic jurisdictions (Kerala, Rojava, Zapatista regions, cooperatively-minded municipalities)

  • Build legitimacy before scaling

  • Partner with existing cooperatives/movements

5. Legal Protection

  • Structure as commons trust (legal precedent exists)

  • Cooperative ownership (recognized business form)

  • Religious/cultural exemptions where applicable

6. The Nuclear Option

  • If outlawed in one jurisdiction, simply illegal there

  • Network continues elsewhere

  • Creates pressure: “Why is everyone else prospering?”

The Core Insight

This works because it’s not imposed - it’s emergent.

Like mycelium, you don’t plant the whole forest. You introduce the spores and the conditions for growth. The network self-organizes because:

  1. It’s more efficient (no parasitic financial sector)

  2. It’s more resilient (distributed, redundant)

  3. It’s more equitable (designed for it)

  4. It’s ecological (constraints built-in)

  5. It’s voluntary (people choose to join because it’s better)

The math ensures self-regulation. The technology enables coordination at scale. The cultural shift makes it desirable. The ecological integration makes it sustainable.

It’s not a revolution imposed from above. It’s an evolution grown from the ground up.

What’s your role in this? What specific piece calls to you? The algorithms? The pilot communities? The governance design? The ecological accounting? The legal framework?

Let’s get specific about what YOU are going to build.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
