[Air-l] The Commons

[Lachlan Brown]

The model of 'the commons' I am presently
researching (an action research - getting 
back to the Real after rsearching the Real and the Net) is an industrial commons
with a number of needy people competing
over limited reources that fluctuate over 
time. Its a relatively closed system with
landlord and contracted agents, as well as police and courts (tresspass law) impacting 
upon it.

It is not a study of the impact of social
relations on ecology, though ecology does
impact the system. It is winter and this is
an open air context.

Yes, I find no tragedy occurs. Very little
strife among the competitors, all under
high stress within the system under study.
