One of the MAP terms
In the Offers and Agreements section, assets are seen as:
forms of Vital Capital temporarily stewarded within
aSimonG: In the section on Agents and Spaces, we read:
Assets and the Flow of Vital Capital
Spaces steward assets — forms of Vital Capital they hold in trust for members.
These include:
Knowledge, narratives, and software
Attention, care, or reputation
Ecological and material resources
These assets flow between Spaces through Agreements.
MAP tracks the digital representation of these flows — but the flows are real.
Yes, resources flow. But reputation doesn't exactly flow, nor does knowledge. They are used, for sure.
In these cases, perhaps it is the value that flows, rather than the “assets” or “capital”.
