“...launched by a Trusted Seed, a critical mass of token engineering, decentralized governance, and commons management ‘experts.’” - First Field Trial of Commons Stack

“The TE Commons mission is to gather and steward the efficient distribution of funds to projects in the emerging field of token engineering to encourage the robust and ethical design of tokenized infrastructures.” in What is TEC forum post

“… A commons is neither the resource, nor the community gathered around it, nor the protocols for its stewardship - but the dynamic interactions of all three.” in Kicking-off the TEC

From 1st Principles

  • Not only when things are quantifiable, but holistically including intangible, intrinsic values.
  • Decision making on qualitative, dynamical processes, e.g. socio-economic interaction in decentralized systems
  • Fluent, and consistent across worldviews
  • Identify when a mode is mis-applied and/or hijacked, correct
  • Common Principle, i.e. common language in communication, collaboration, coordination, change & conflict management
