Public Capital and Social Evolution describe a cultural evolution to use Capital to help humanity survive on a planet with limited resources. An emergent property of using Public Capital is self-sovereign identity and privacy.
Fig 1 shows local groups for affordable housing, food, and renewable energy. Each group consists of individuals who are aware of the other group members. The groups each have an identity represented by a member of the group. The groups arrange themselves, and typically groups of affordable housing will group with other affordable housing groups to make a group of groups. The structure is a fractal built from the bottom up. Above the base level, the structure is dynamic and can change with different rules.
Fig 2 shows an emergent cell structure for each individual. This structure is the administrative identity of an individual. Transmitting information about an individual to another entity means the other entity must become part of A’s cell. Sharing information about A to another entity is forbidden without the entity becoming part of A’s cell.
The rules around sharing preserve privacy and establish a secure, reliable identity system.
