Very interesting. That's also what we had in mind when constructing the Technate part of this website - to make it a virtual community where there would not be just talk, but also simulations which could help us in the making of the real thing. Of course, we must keep in mind at all times that this is just a virtual environment. Nevertheless, it should reflect our tendencies and operational techniques that we intend to implement.

Do you think that people would be interested in participating in such a project, a virtual technate?

What do we need to simulate it more profoundly?

We've already mentioned to simulate (a better word would be demonstrate) the usage of EC. This should by no means be confined only to the products that one could virtually acquire, but also to demonstrate the differences in EC distribution, virtual energy creation (It's kind of hard to explain this as we are talking virtually ) and an display of an evolution within a technate related to our present community, to reflect it.

I rather like Igor’s idea of a “virtual Technate” and whole I was on holiday I read the coop village book. An idea occurred to me that perhaps one way forward for constructing a proto-Technate would involve forming groups and getting a business front end off the ground before we even start buying land. So as nanos say, perhaps we have already started forming the proto-Technate here on line?
