I think you are on to something here Jeff. The establishment (and
mutual use of) a commons certainly requires shared understandings,
and the implicit honoring of basic agreements.<br>
<br>
In the USA, for example, there is a "commons of expression" which is
established and then managed via one, simple, elegant rule called
"The 1st Amendment." When this simple rule is not honored, or is
ignored, we get a reduction in the diversity and volume of
expression-flow. <br>
<br>
When this happens, the best ideas never see the light of day.
Something about "closed space."<br>
<br>
Are "closed minds" and "closed space" correlated? Does one beget the
other? What does it mean to censor expression in an open space?<br>
<br>
What is the relationship between <span class="_Tgc">" liberté " and
open space? </span><br>

<li>Individualism</li>
<li>Individual rights (aka "Law of 2 Feet")<br>
</li>
<li>Spontaneous order (aka "self organization")<br>
</li>
<li>Limited government (aka "external control" or
"management")</li>
<li>Natural harmony <br>

<li>Peace</li>

<br>
Interestingly, the words liberal and liberty share the same
exact Latin root: <i>liber<br>
<br>
</i>In light of the foregoing, we may reasonably and safely
conclude, Open Space has absolutely nothing in common and
nothing to do with with libertarian ideas. <br>

Right?<i><br>
