What is a SOU?

A Self Organizing Unorganization is a way for multiple people to work together on a shared profit-seeking endeavor without requiring leadership or organizational mutexes.

If you want a one-sentence definition of freedom, how about the ability to do interesting things with other people. This is the point of a SOU.

Organizations are fundamentally composed of human action (and inter-action), so this is the primitive we must work with.

The usefulness of a bucket exists due to the limitations or restrictions imposed by its base and sides. A bucket is useful because it holds water by creating boundary conditions on what the water cannot do while remaining in the bucket.

An ASIC provides boundary conditions on energy to focus it towards computing a sha256 sum for fun and profit.

A Nostrocket SOU provides boundary conditions on human action to focus it towards increasing the revenue (and participation) of an open source project.

What a Nostrocket SOU does with humans is analogous to what a bucket does with water and what an ASIC does with energy.

A SOU is defined by the boundary conditions it places on human action - what type of action humans can perform within the organization.

Can the shareholders in a Nostrocket SOU conduct a rug-pull?

Possibly, and that would be a shame.

There's only one way to reliably secure a system against a rug-pull, and that's proof of energy.

Unfortunately, proof of energy is only useful for a money, and not a flexible organisation of humans performing a variety of work in pursuit of shared values.

The way that Nostrocket mitigates against this risk is to use the concept of Votepower, and Blackball Voting.

It should theoretically take just one very determined individual within a Nostrocket SOU to prevent any kind of rug-pull attempt.
