The Human, The User & Decentralization

The Human

A “Human” can be classified as either a User or AI agent that uses, operates, or consumes a “Thing”. The Human’s identity attributes such as “id”, “name”, “nickname” allow for a very wide spectrum of human types. For simplicity purposes, we will group humans into 2 types.

Human Types:

  • Real Human; Uses the computer with a well defined use case.
  • Powerful Human; Uses the computer with advanced features and skills for development, support and administration.

Human State:

  • Governed by organizations at the hands of powerful humans. Humans interact within communities.

Human Rights:

  • Rights are defined separately for humans & organizations.
  • Rights are the “permissions” to act.
  • Examples of rights would be privacy, self expression, property.

Censorship:

  • Humans are censored By powerful humans.

Privacy:

  • Privacy is governed by organisations at the hands of oowerful humans.

Organizations:

  • Organizations can contain many humans, and humans can be members of many organizations.
  • Institutions & communities are used to administer humans with ownership and permissions.

Ownership:

  • Ownerships of property and privacy are defined separately for “user”, “organization”, and “other or public”.
  • Rights & ownership can overlap between the 2 types, but In general, a powerful human may administer ownership and rights via “organizations” to all humans.

Metaverse Level:

  • Level 1 - Interactive: The human interacts with the computer (Real World / Web 1)

The User:

A “User” can be classified as either a Human or software agent that uses, operates, or consumes a “Thing”. The User’s identity attributes such as “user id”, “username”, “handle” allow for a very wide spectrum of user types. For simplicity purposes, we will group users into 2 types.

User Types:

  • End User; Uses the universal machine/cyberspace with a well defined use case .
  • Power User; Uses The universal machine/cyberspace with advanced features and skills for development, support and administration.

User State:

  • Governed by groups at the hands of power users. Users interact within virtual communities.

User Permissions:

  • Permissions are defined separately for owners & groups.
  • Permissions are the “rights” to act.
  • Examples of Permissions would be Read, Write and Execute.

Censorship:

  • Users are censored By power users

Privacy:

  • Privacy is governed by groups at the hands of power users

Groups:

  • Groups can contain many users, and users can be members of many groups.
  • Groups are used to administer users with ownership and permissions.

Ownership:

  • Ownerships of files and folders are defined separately for “user”, “group”, and “other or world”.
  • Permission & ownership can overlap between the 2 types, but In general, a power user may administer ownership and permissions via “groups” to all users.

Metaverse Level:

  • Level 2 - Intuitive; The user uses intuitively uses cyberspace, the universal machine (Cyber World / Web 2)

Decentralised User

A “Decentralized User” can be classified as Post-Human Entity that uses, operates, or consumes a “Thing”. The Decentralized User’s identity attributes is self governed.

Decentralized User Types:

  • Decentralized User; Uses the metaverse in a permission-less and trust-less manner.
  • Both End User & Power User

Decentralized User State:

  • Self Governed State: The User interacts within decentralized virtual communities.
  • Permissionless
  • Censorship Resistent
  • Self Governed Privacy

Decentralized User DAOs:

  • DAOs can contain many decentralized users, and decentralized users can be members of many DAOs.
  • DAOs are used to administer decentralized users with ownership in a permission-less manner.

Ownership:

  • Ownership is self defined & transferable in a trust-less and permission-less way via DAOs between decentralized users.
  • A decentralized user may administer and transfer ownership in a permission-less manner via “DAOs” to all decentralized users.

Metaverse Level:

  • Level 3 - Immersive: The decentralized user is immersed in the metaverse (Virtual World / Web 3)
