OSG Book One is theory. It explains all the basic concepts and fundamentals. Book Two is all about application - that's where the relationship between hierarchies and networks is developed. (I'm about 80% finished with Book Two -- I expect to release it before end of 2017.)

People are telling me to post part of Book One online so people can better evaluate OSG and decide if they want to know more about it. So I'm going to take that advice and post the first part of Book One. Ethereum developers really need this info because they're walking right into a trap without knowing it. Ethereum is a decentralization strategy, but ion they co-develop with political entities that re-centralizes everything. The ONLY way to prevent this is OSG.

Have you read Book One? It's available on Amazon. VOAT doesn't allow Amazon links to be posted but you can go HERE and and click on the book title or picture and it will take you there. You can buy the book or you can read it online for free. (I"m also going to post the first part on my website.)

The point you bring up about Hierarchies and networks working together is a BIG DEAL. People are confused about what hierarchies and nets even are -- so OSG begins by defining them then describing how they have always interacted and continue to always interact. There is no such thing as getting rid of all hierarchies and having a network only world.

Awesomesauce, I'll put it on my to-read list. And I agree that getting rid of the WRONG hierarchies would be a very bad thing to do. For example, preferring people with the most amount of working years instead of skill would be an obvious stupid thing to do.

I just posted the first part of OSG Book One online to read for free. This part scientifically explains what "freedom" is and how it differs from centralized control. Someone commented a couple days ago: "sell your book harder!" I was surprised -- I thought the hard sell would be a turn off. Well, I'm hoping posting this first part works. It's a lot of work putting this stuff together and I have to find a way to monetize it.

Hierarchies and networks in human society are different from machine architecture. Sometimes they're analogous, but not always. In society, hierarchies and nets each have their own strengths and weaknesses. For example, hierarchies are inefficient at large scales; most efficient at small or medium size. Networks, on the other hand, are strongest at large scales and very inefficient at small scales. OSG combines them to exploit the strengths of each.

So I posted the first part of Book One HERE:

Let me know what you think.
