POSSIBILICA CONTEXT
The distinctions, thoughtware, and Rules Of Engagement of a gameworld emerge from the context of the gameworld.
The context is the way the gameworld relates to consciousness and responsibility,
and gives birth to the particular characteristics of each gameworld.
...nomadic?
Is a music band still a music band even if the musicians are not on stage performing together? Yes.
Does a school exist even on the weekends? Yes.
A surfer can only surf a wave when she is on the wave.
For the time being, the physical location of Possibilica is determined by the invitations we receive to deliver our nonmaterial value.
For example, while this was being written, Possibilicans were busily delivering 3 Initiation workshops at the GEN-Europe conference at Lilleoru, Estonia, 3 Inner Activism and Gameworld Builder workshops at Liminal Village at Boom! Festival in Portugal, a Sword and Chocolate intimacy talk and workshop in Lausanne, Switzerland, personal healing and initiation processes at the New Culture Summer Camp in Eugene, Oregon, and Expand The Box training and Possibility Lab in Melbourne, Australia. The near future is calling us to New Zealand, Japan, and Brazil, in addition to European requests in Estonia, Spain, and Poland.
In the same way that Gandalf goes when and where he is needed, we are on the road. Being a transformational road-warrioress requires a strong center and a clear grounding-cord connection to Gaia.
...archiarchal?
There is a natural progression of cultures that roll out as circumstances and purpose change, and as awareness and our ability to interact and create evolves, from matriarchal to patriarchal to archiarchal.
Matriarchal cultures reign when humans organize as tribes and clans, roving the Earth as if she were a gigantic salad bar open 24/7/365. Matriarchal tribes view their own gameworld members as 'human beings' and everyone else as 'the edible ones'. They do not teach 'cultural relativity'. Matriarchal initiations relocate a person's Point Of Origin from the mother to the ancestors and the traditions. Each person is trained to submit their authority to the rules of engagement of the gameworld.
As climate conditions changed 6000 years ago humans domesticated animals and figured out how to grow a surplus of food that could be stored. But stored food can also be stolen. Roving bands of male marauders became the baron kings and emperors, building armies, advancing weapons, putting up fences to defend the bizarre Gremlin concept of 'owning land'. The top of the hierarchy regarded their farmers as serfs or slaves, and battled each other for territory and possessions. Thus the age of the capitalist patriarchal empire began, and now comes to an end as we have burned off easily available oil, coal, and gas, and hierarchical structures around the world have been hijacked by the psychopathic agenda. Modern culture banned authentic adulthood initiations so uninitiated adolescents could rise to power. Modern culture also does not teach its people 'cultural relativity', so modern culture views the world as its 'resources' and all other countries and creatures as consumable.
What naturally emerges after matriarchy and patriarchy have run their course is 'archiarchy', cultures in which archetypally initiated adult women creatively collaborate with archetypally initiated adult men. Archiarchal cultures are contexted in radical responsibility, consciously navigate all 3 worlds, and center themselves around authentic adulthood initiatory processes. Archiarchal distinctions include clarity that all cultures are arbitrary gameworlds and so teach cultural-relativity. Edgeworkers accompany people who are 'Exiteers': those people journeying to the edges of modern culture, and stepping onto bridges from matriarchy and patriarchy to archiarchy as New Refugees.

...nanonation?
The idea that all the land on Earth is already claimed by the 195 meganation members of the United Nations, stops most people from realizing their own autonomy, authority, and responsibility to create the cultural gameworld they would love to live in.
In Archiarchy, no one can speak for another person. The idea of a 'representative democracy' is ludicrous. The largest circle in which everyone's voice can be heard is about 60, the size of a tribe. If you stop using hierarchical power structures and instead use circular meeting technologies, and if you reinstate authentic adulthood and archetypal initiations as the highest value in your culture, the psychopaths will not be able to take over. Human aliveness and creativity can thrive. When adults are initiated into radical responsibility, what naturally emerges on Earth is 100 million interdepending collaborative nanonations. Possibilica is one of these that already exists. There are many others.
...gameworld?
It turns out that human beings interact with each other through the 'gameworlds' we make up out of nothing and agree to play together. For example, soccer is a gameworld. If you change one rule in soccer - such as allowing 2 balls, or requiring each team to have one camel - you would have an entirely different gameworld.
School is a gameworld. How do you play? Register, sit in rows, take notes, try to get the best grade.
Money is a gameworld. How do you play? Believe that bits of paper or digits in a computer have value. Then whoever dies with the most money wins.
One way to get money is to play in the gameworld called 'having a job.' J.O.B. stands for Just Over Broke. How do you play? Apply to a company. If they like you, you sign a contract to do what they tell you to do even if you don't want to do it or they will fire you. If you agree they give you money in exchange for each hour you are their slave.
When you have some money you can play the gameworld of banks and credit cards. How do you play? Pay a bank to keep your money safe, then pay them to give your money to others with the credit card.
Being a citizen of a country is a gameworld. Buying insurance is a gameworld. Driving a car is a gameworld. We live in a maze of gameworlds. What if you become conscious of that? What if you give yourself the power to choose what gameworlds you play in? Why bother? Because you support the values of the gameworlds you play in.
Zombies are people who pretend to be unaware of the values of the gameworlds they play in. We have updated what Buckminster Fuller said to: "You don't change things by fighting the existing gameworlds. You change things my building new gameworlds that make the existing gameworlds irrelevant." Don't be left behind playing in a stupid gameworld.

...initiations?
Modern culture leaves out a crucial element to you becoming a powerful adult. They leave out initiation.
Do you think this is an accident?
What is initiation? Is is not ritual or ceremony. It is not giving your authority away to the ancestors or the traditions of the tribe.
The kind of authentic adulthood initiations and archetypal initiations needed now are transformational processes after which you are responsible for things you may never have thought you could be responsible for before.
Nobody can get initiated for you. More interestingly, nobody can stop you from getting initiated.
To learn about adulthood and archetypal initiations please visit initiations.org.
...possibility management?
At first we regarded Possibility Management as a path of personal development that could activate potentials for a more satisfying life. However, in 2007, after reading J.F. Rischard's astonishing book: High Noon: 20 Global Problems and 20 Years to Solve Them (published in 2003!), and after interviewing J.F. Rischard himself in Paris for two generous days of all-questions-allowed wild conversations, it became clear that Possibility Management was actually regenerative-culture thoughtware-upgrades... thoughtware for next culture...
thoughtware for Archiarchy.
Possibility Management provides clarity about thinking, feeling, relating, and evolving which could increase the chances that human beings have a future on planet Earth.
When we realized this, our diligence about delivering our services amplified ten-fold. For more information about Possibility Management please visit possibilitymanagement.org, and for invitations to participate in Possibility Management rapid-learning environments, please consider joining an Expand The Box training, detailed in the online calendar at: www.possibilitymanagement.org/calendar.
...ecovillage?
Since 2008 Possibilican change-agents have provided individuals and entire projects from the Global Ecovillage Network with context-deepening thoughtware-upgrades, plus healing and initiatory processes.
The evolutionary benefits have been remarkable and sustainable.
Possibilica is listed on the GEN ecovillage website here: ecovillage.org/project/possibilica/
Possibilican Passports
In Possibilica we know the Archetypal Lineage, Bright Principles, Gremlin Name, and Shadow Principles of every other Possibilican.
Therefore, the Archetypal Lineage Talisman serves as one's Passport in Possibilica.
FLAG OF POSSIBILICA
On an ocean of Spiral Dynamics Turquoise floats the symbol of Archiarchy,
where the infinity sign represents the everythingness of the archetypally initiated adult feminine
basking in the clear space of nothingness of the archetypally initiated adult masculine which is represented by the zero .
ECONOMICS OF POSSIBILICA
The water that flows through the rice fields in Bali is managed by the 'Subak' who are those farmers whose rice fields are located last in line, at the bottom of the mountain. The Subak team assures that water is not hoarded at the top of the mountain in ponds ('large bank accounts') by someone who is frightened and trying to have power by controlling the resources that everyone needs. That would be an I-win, you-lose, scarcity game harming the economy of the village. Instead the Subak team navigates a Winning Happening game where they take radical responsibility to assure that the water flows through every single rice field on the mountain. This is the equivalent of assuring that the money flows through every single bank account in the village. It does no harm to money if we arrange for small amounts of cash to flow rapidly through billons of people's bank accounts rather than having cash in the billions flowing slowly through a few people's over-stuffed bank accounts! The result of archiarchal economy is thriving rice fields in Bali, and a thriving economy in Possibilica.
Gaias are not money.
Gaias cannot be printed out on paper like Dollars, Yuan, Yen, Rubles, Pesos, or Rupiahs.
Gaias cannot be minted as coins.
Gaias cannot be stored in banking computers like Bitcoin and other digital or cryptocurrencies.
You cannot buy things online with Gaias.
The exchange of value using Gaias is actual, not representative, not theoretical.
Gaias are not a medium of exchange.
Gaias are the exchange.
Rather than navigating your life drenched in the scarcity of resources, desperately trying to scrape together enough money to survive... why not become money?
There you are... money.
Money is what you have become.
Are you enough?
Do you have enough?
Then you walk through your life sourcing the resources.
This is an application of Radical Responsibility and taking back Radical Authority.
And by the way... it works.
Many of us are engaged in building-out and trying to inhabit experimental regenerative-culture gameworlds, centered on nurturing complex healthy ecosystems on Earth, centered on the evolution of human consciousness, centered on healing each other, centered on Radical Responsibility and love.
One of the many keys for practical success in next-culture gameworld-building is to re-evaluate what is being valued.
Basing a socio-economic system around valuing material stuff - meaning, to value how much of certain kinds of stuff you have (even numbers in a computer is stuff) - is doomed to duplicate exactly what modern culture already produces.
Material stuff is limited, because material space is limited, automatically resulting in competition, scarcity, winners and losers, strife.
But think about this: In energetic domains, space is not limited.
In nonmaterial worlds, there is unlimited space for building out new gameworlds centered around creating and exchanging nonmaterial values.
Nonmaterial values are often more valuable than any material currency can pay for.
Here is a tiny fraction of a beginning list of nonmaterial value that is being created and exchanged in archiarchal culture gameworlds such as Possibilica. Which are you?- Delivering authentic adulthood initiatory processes.

POSSIBILICA MEMBERS
Becoming a member of Possibilica seems to happen the same way an amoeba eats. When the amoeba needs particular nutrients available in a certain organic blob, it sends out a pseudopod to absorb the blob.
We trust the Possibilica amoeba.
When someone is absorbed, we welcome them. When someone is released, we appreciate them and release them. There is no policy about it.
People come around us and co-create value within Possibilica, yet there is no way to get in or be kicked out until the amoeba wills it.
How does that happen? We don't know. It is a mystery...
