The Research Pipeline

The Deep Archive acts as the structural backbone of the Root & Branch Library. It tracks the original analyses and primary source translations currently in production for future publication.

I have organised the pipeline into two distinct branches: my own structural analyses, and the translation of foundational operating protocols.


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.

II. TRANSLATIONS IN PRODUCTION

A curated translation pipeline charting the legal, financial, and reproductive base of the Solidarity Economy.
