Elementary Business Design
The New Simple after 5000 years of Business-Exchanging
The system of Commodity Money eventually evolved into a system of Representative Money.
To the best of my thinking, Commodity money was converted to Representative Money because of
Agreed-Ease-Speed-Accuracy
As a marketplace on Planet Earth in 1971, “-WE+” (formally) or -WE+” (informally) went off the Gold standard.
In my thinking, Gold or Silver are a Commodity Money that slowed down trading abilities. Nixon’s intentions may not reflect a Planet Empathic thought. None-the-less, the Planet embraced the thought. The event “USD as the Product of Representative Money” has now reached the boundaries of Agreed-Ease-Speed-Accuracy.
Oddly as it may seem, for the same reasons, that happened thousands of years ago…..Greed and Power.
Commodities get clipped and deceptions happen. Gold and Silver are not the exceptions to any deception.
Why would we back Representative Money with Gold, Silver or any other Physical Commodity?
Over thousands of Years, there has been an Evolution between CM-Exchange and RM-Exchange. The between-ness has always been driven by the costs of the trading between 1-Entity to another 1-Entity….. or in today’s marketplace, a Multiplicities of entities exchange.
Note: An entity is something that exists in itself, actually or potentially, concretely or abstractly, physically or not. In HU-Being exchange, thinking entities can be individual, families, community, state, country, trading market place, legal or not.
In my opinion, the issue is that the metaphysical idea of RM-Exchange has gone toxic!-!
What I mean is this…. it is the agreements that are made around RM-Exchange that are the real issue. Going back to CM-Exchange will repeat a cycle of:
There is no Deception……………to growing Deception…………….Oh, now we are Toxic again
Only Faster and Faster, Repeating the Cycle.
The main Compounding Factor is the Transparency and Speed of the Internet of Things
Nixon started at Deception and it has only taken 44 years to go Toxic. The entirety of the Marketplace has now been polluted with USD Toxic deception. Driven by an under-productive and over-greedy Global Banking System.
The USD +Banking System, who are Projecting the illusion of Value-Added Service.
At this point, I must say ….I believe every Marketplace must have a Value-Adding Banking System.
“-WE+” can cure a Toxic Event by action taken Now, combined with Designed long-term Arranged Futures of:
“-Timed-Energy/Viable-Sustainable-Intergenerational-Repeating/Events+”
The Cleanse has started in Greece…..
MY questions is…….How does each “-ME+” see what is happening in Greece?
I will give my thoughts of a way forward……. Thinking of MY Today, changing with feedback and thoughts of tomorrow………..

English: Lim, Griffiths, and Sambrook (2010) developed the Hierarchy-Community Phenotype Model of Organizational Structure borrowing from the concept of Phenotype from genetics. "A phenotype refers to the observable characteristics of an organism. It results from the expression of an organism’s genes and the influence of the environment. The expression of an organism’s genes is usually determined by pairs of alleles. Alleles are different forms of a gene. In our model, each employee’s formal, hierarchical participation and informal, community participation within the organization, as influenced by his or her environment, contributes to the overall observable characteristics (phenotype) of the organization. In other words, just as all the pair of alleles within the genetic material of an organism determines the physical characteristics of the organism, the combined expressions of all the employees’ formal hierarchical and informal community participation within an organization give rise to the organizational structure. Due to the vast Potentially Different Combination of the employees’ formal hierarchical and informal community participation, each organization is therefore a unique phenotype along a spectrum between a Pure Hierarchy and a Pure Community (flat) Organizational Structure."

“-Systems/Processes=1+” requires both Meta-physical and Physical disciplines over many timed cycles to evolve into the Invisible New-Simple EMEL.
“-Complexities+” always Test the resolve of the “-Systems/Processes=1+”
Time to Shine the light on the above Design Thought
I’m biased towards Capitalism and more importantly, Business as My vehicle of Exchange-Distribution. The Hexagon drawing above is “-M/Y+” family’s Developed Design that Drives our Business 
“-LIFE+”.
Thought 1 of Design: “-LIFE+” is always at Risk, No exceptions
Thought 2: Risk of “-LIFE+” must always move to Mitigation to survive
Thought 3: “-LIFE+” is not passive. “-LIFE+” Is Organic
Thought 4: “-M+Y LIFE+” is an Agreement Between Entities of
“-Me+/You/Others+”
The Time has come for The Empathic Capitalist = “-Leaders of Leaders+”

The State of Money after 5000 years of Business-Exchanging
Originally, humans used commodities as their means of exchange. Cows were traded for grain and rice for coconuts. We called this barter currency “Commodity Money,” because commodities were directly used as the means of exchange. The system of Commodity Money (CM) eventually evolved into a system of Representative Money. “Representative Money” (RM) comes into being when something other than the thing being exchanged is used as in the trade, as a representation of the actual items changing hands. For example, when the Phoenicians began traveling large distances in their sailing ships, it became impractical to take their cattle with them from port to port on the boat, looking for a “buyer.” Instead, they created coins shaped like the horns of a bull, to represent the bull. They traded the coins for the grains and such that the other merchants wanted, then the other merchants brought their own ships to Phoenicia and traded each coin for a live animal. This was the beginning of modern money as we think of it.
It makes sense that CM was converted to RM because those trading agreed that it easier, faster and more accurate. It allowed for more trading to take place in a shorter period of time with greater accuracy and speed.
Agreed-Ease-Speed-Accuracy
Following WWII, the US Dollar became king of the world currencies because all war debts were to be repaid in gold, denominated in Dollars. That system worked well until 1971, when US President Richard Nixon arbitrarily uncoupled gold and the dollar. Until then, paper dollars could be traded for actual gold at any bank teller window. Formally or informally, America’s trading partners allowed the United States to get away with taking the dollar off the Gold Standard. In essence, the marketplace on planet earth “Agreed” with that move “-WE+” went off the Gold standard.
Nixon has been much maligned for this move, because it is widely thought that he did it to allow the US to print more paper money (RM) to pay for the Vietnam war. From a larger perspective, and at a ninety degree angle from this government action, regardless the actual motivation, at that moment, money became something else. Because the Dollar was no longer backed by gold or silver, and because money from that point forward was created through the central banks by monetizing debt, debt became money (DM). The Debt Money system is also now a hybrid of a RM system, where debt is used to denominate the value of whatever is being exchanged (think of a credit card purchase). Global trade had become too large and too important for the exchange of gold and silver to slow it down. With DM, rather than loading gold on a truck, train or plane at Fort Knox and shipping it to another locale, DM could be electronically transferred around the world at the speed of light. Ironically, it really doesn’t matter what the means of exchange is, as long as everyone agrees and has confidence in their subsequent ability to pass the RM on in their next exchange for full value. Gold or Silver as CM had simply become too slow to facilitate huge volumes of exchange. Nixon’s actual intentions may not have reflected the empathic planetary good, but nonetheless the planet embraced the concept of RM/DM. RM/DM appears that it is now reaching the boundaries of the formerly revised Agreed-Ease-Speed-Accuracy
Oddly as it may seem it appears that the RM/DM system is reaching its boundaries for the same reasons that it happened thousands of years ago- because of greed and power. Let’s talk about a practice that has been common in finance for thousands of year, called, “Clipping. When gold was used as CM, it was a common practice for a king to issue gold coins and then shave a few grains off of those coins each time they passed through the royal treasury. Over time, the coins lost weight and even became oddly shaped because of the clipping. Then, when paper money came into being, it was originally issued as “Gold Receipts.” A bank would agree to hold the owner’s gold in its vaults, where it would allegedly be safer. The bank issued a fancy piece of paper that allowed the holder thereof to walk into the bank and trade the paper for a certain amount of gold. The bankers began to notice that a very small percentage of the receipts were ever presented at any given time. So, based on their greed, they printed certificates I excess of the actual amount of gold they had in their vaults. This allowed the bank owners and officers to use those certificates to buy all kinds of lavish items their greed told them they needed and deserved, because they were such powerful pillars of the community. This too, was a way of clipping the currency, although mostly invisible to the public. Usually due to a disruption in local affairs, people would get scared and run to the bank en masse to redeem their gold receipts. Of course, because of the bank’s extracurricular printing activities, there was insufficient gold to back the certificates, so there was a run on the bank and the bank went broke. Today, government treasury departments are doing what the banks did back then. They are printing excessive amounts of money, monetizing it through government borrowing and clipping their own currencies in the process.
Our means of exchange are still being clipped and the age-old deception continues
Why would we back Representative Money with Gold, Silver or any other Commodity?
Over thousands of Years there has been a perpetual evolution from CM exchange to RM exchange and most recently to RM/DM. The between-ness, meaning the interactive transition from one to the other has always been driven by costs and efficiencies of the trading between one single entity and another single entity or more accurately, in today’s marketplace, between a multiplicity of entities conducting exchanges with each other.
Definition: An entity is something that exists in itself, actually or potentially, concretely or abstractly, physically or non. In human exchange, transacting entities can be individuals, families, communities, states, countries, and large trading marketplaces, legal or not.
Here and now in 2015, the concept of “To much of a good thing,” would seem to be applicable. For example, our bodies require a certain amount of bacteria to digest our food and keep a healthy balance in our bodies. A certain amount of RM and DM may also be good for the system, but of late, governments all over the planet have printed gargantuan amounts of money to paper over systemic problems. When bacteria in the body gets too far out of balance, we call the condition toxic. If it the bacterial balance runs too far out of balance, it can be fatal. The body can only manage so much bacteria. If it is overwhelmed with too much, it dies.
It is my opinion that our current global Central Reserve banking systems have created so much debt that currencies- the US Dollar in particular- has reached a toxic level and is now a threat to the short term survival of global exchange as we know it. We are witnessing the demise of financial agreements and systems at the level of nations. We are suffering a systemic crisis because of toxic debt levels that have been monetized in various world currencies.
Take tiny little Greece for example. Greece appears to have be the first nation that will succumb to the toxicity and call for a new economic recovery protocol. The individual would be wise to watch Greece. What happens in Greece may be a precursor to bigger events elsewhere in the world.
In my opinion the issue with today’s global financial system is that the idea of RM/DM-Exchange (which is metaphysical in nature) has gone toxic!-!
“-WE+” can cure a Toxic event by action taking in the Future by Design. Just as competent physician can design a protocol to treat a toxic condition in the body, we can design the future of money and finance in order to overcome today’s toxic threat.
What I mean it is that the agreements that have been made around RM/DM-Exchange that are the real issue. Many a panicked citizen is calling for a return to precious metals-backed currencies. Going back to CM-Exchange will only repeat a cycle of:
Systemic integrity……………to growing deception…………….to repeated systemic toxicity. However, among other problems with that thinking, is that the cycle will only repeat itself faster and faster. The main reason the cycles will become every faster is because of the compounding Factor of way transparency and Speed are increased by the way information is so freely shared and accessible on the Internet of Things
The deception that Nixon started has only taken 44 years to go full circle and become systemically Toxic. The entire global marketplace has now been polluted with toxic US Dollars. A greedy global banking System has cheered on this deception and pocketed their share of the booty. Today’s banks pretend to add value to the communities in which they work. This is mostly an illusion and part of the deception. At this point I must say that I believe every marketplace must have a Banking System that adds value to the community.
When banks invest in the financial instruments of other banks or government debt, they are not fulfilling their primary roll of capitalizing businesses in the communities in which they work. When the banks fund businesses, jobs are created and the community prospers. For the most part, this doesn’t happen when the banks deploy their capital to earn interest from paper investments. Banks recycling their capital through fractional reserve banking systems has become so prevalent that they now have $35.00 invested in paper for every $1.00 they have invested directly in their communities. Therein lies the micro-organism that is threatening to destroy the system.
We have the power as human beings to design systems that work and that bring about healthy growth, rather than the house of cards in which we live today. Do we have the will to do it? Will be decide to be individually responsible and accountable for new results, or will we continue to defer our accountability to politicians and corporate moguls? These are important questions and your answer to these questions will be a critical factor going forward. WSD
