Initiatives listed in this section follow the thematic topics of the UniServEnt site and are subject to revision and development based on viewer interest and indicated participation. They are grouped according to my economist view into the four classifications of proper entitlement – or entitled property as some might prefer – as public, private, common, and club, where these latter two categories would include the concept of corporate structure that can be most beneficial, but which can lead, if misunderstood, to much mischief and confusion.
These classifications are defined first by socially constructed entitlement to excludibility from access to the use of natural resources and produced goods and services and second by natural competition/rivalry among those with access over the use of those natural resources and produced goods and services, any of which might be for either final consumption or intermediate consumption and holdings, i.e. as capital. Thus we have legally excludable access to property that may or may not be subject to natural competition for its private or club use and legally non-excludable access to property that may or may not be subject to similar natural competition for common or public use.
This leaves several grey areas at the classification boundaries that constitute moral hazards of both a legal and natural type, with the greatest such type being in the ill defined Chaotic Moral Hazard at the interstices of the four classes of property rights. This gives the following matrix, where it must be noted that the sizes and adjacencies of the cells are easily misinterpreted, as all of these classification need a basic level of initiative and funding by legal means due to natural constraints. We will try to expand on these distinctions on this site going forward in the discussion of Ergodidiocy and Truth.
Entitlement-Use | Access to Resources | Limited by Law | MH by Law | Unlimited by Law |
Use of Resources | Real & Intangible Property | Excludable | Legal Strife | Non-excludable |
Limited by Nature | Rivalrous | Private (Pr) | Pr-Co LMH | Common (Co) |
MH by Nature | Natural Strife | Pr-Cl NMH | Chaotic MH | Pu-Co NMH |
Unlimited by Nature | Non-rivalrous | Club (Cl) | Pu-Cl LMH | Public (Pu) |
The funding goal amounts shown on this website are stated to give a reasonable idea of the levels required for any of these or an equivalent initiative on the part of a similarly motivated party or parties, private or public, to succeed. They are pre-prospectus and do not constitute a public offering of any type. People with pockets—deep or just the coin type in your jeans—are free to judge for themselves the authenticity of this site and the wisdom of the ends to which any contributions here or elsewhere might be made.
