  • Mycopunk principles
    1. REGENERATIVE/REMEDIAL/POSITIVE SUM: First responder in ecosystem regeneration. Digests externally, producing materials for life to exist. Breaks down plastic, oil, hydrocarbons. Stimulates neuronal regrowth.
    2. HUMBLE: Growing where nothing else will grow. On a pile of shit, out of sight, in the lowest of the low.
    3. NETWORKED/DISTRIBUTED/ANARCHIST: No central command. Local subsidiarity, problem solving at the edges.
    4. ANTI-FRAGILE: Disturb a mycelial network, and it grows more dense.
    5. FRACTAL: Self-similar structures up & down.
    6. MUTUALIST/COOPERATIVE/INTEROPERABLE/COMPOSABLE: Interfaces intelligently with many different species with positive sum outcomes (most of the time - nature is also brutal).
    7. EMERGENT/ADAPTIVE: Constantly adapting new strategies, power sources (e.g. nuclear radiotrophic mushrooms)
    8. POLYCENTRIC: Local diversification/specialization as required. E.g. nearby penicillin factory for battling bacteria
    9. CONSOLIDATE POWER UNDERGROUND: power base established before presenting itself to the world
    10. REDISTRIBUTIVE: Effective resource allocation networks for getting nutrients around a network (water, carbon, antibacterial compounds, etc)
    11. CONTINUOUS FLOW: Persistent, circular flows. Not discrete. No hoarding.
    12. OPTIMISTIC: Building for a better future.
    13. UBIQUITOUS: Ever present, persistent. Ancient.
