The Deep Archive

The Research Pipeline

The Deep Archive acts as the structural backbone of the Root & Branch Library. Alongside my own original structural analyses, this page tracks my ongoing thematic translations of public domain and Creative Commons texts charting the applied legal, financial, and reproductive base of the contemporary Solidarity Economy.

I. ANALYSES IN PRODUCTION

Original syntheses of digital, financial, and spatial systems.

• Data Reciprocity: A policy paper on AI, proposing 'Data Royalties' and collective licensing as a response to the digital enclosure.
• Platform Co-ops vs. The Digital Enclosure: A critique of 'share-washing' in platform capitalism, contrasting it with the DisCO Manifesto and genuine digital cooperativism.
• The Urban Commons: Analysing how proximity creates value, and how Community Land Trusts (CLTs) capture that value for the neighbourhood rather than the landlord.
• Solidarity and Balance: Connecting European Mutualism to global concepts like Buen Vivir (Andes) and Ubuntu (Southern Africa).
• The Non-Extractive Solidarity Term Sheet Matrix: An open-source contractual framework mapping out Safe Solidarity Notes and Titre Participatif risk mitigation templates.
• Forensic Analysis of the Mondragon Internal Protocols: A corporate finance assessment detailing internal capital accounts, wage scale limits, and mandatory divisional loss-pooling formulas.
