The technical and social challenges of Caretaker Tech can obscure the vision of a life in which such digital sphere exists. For story authors it is not necessary to know how or why Caretaker Tech might work and it is enough to stick with the following simplified information about it:

domainSide ASide B
On relating to (shared) resources:People will use Caretaker Tech to search for resources they need and available resources can be filtered according to their terms of use and how they apply to those who want to use them. There is no payment or any other form of compensation for the use of resources.When people want to share their private resources with others (friends, members of the projects, everyone…) they use Caretaker Tech to define and transmit the terms of use. To be a person that shares their resources is a considerable life aspect (→ on consideration).
On the creation of plans:There is a pool of open tasks within Caretaker Tech that people can self-assign to. Every task has an indicator that states a personal relevance which varies between every possible contributor. When someone commits to perform a task, it may take some time until all its dependencies are available.People can publish economic intents like needs or the requirement for resources in Caretaker Tech. As every intent can be satisfied through a chain of single tasks, such are proposed to others for self-assignment. For every intent, there is not one, but multiple of such chains proposed and one can be settled as a plan, when there is a self-commitment to every of its tasks.
On interaction within plans:Within Plans, all people using Caretaker Tech are in communication with each other. When the plan is performed, people that might be unknown to each other work together in the non-digital sphere.People who are part of a plan or somehow affected by its performance get notified by Caretaker Tech when their opinion is needed or a meeting needs to be held for making a major collective decision.
on consideration:They define their personal values and therefore the direction they want to give the overall economic process (marks in tasks + sharing).they define and verify aspects of life that apply to them, which could possibly be considered by others.
