The best description of what it is harry does, that i could find, was the researchgate[4] link. He was instrumental to an array of works at w3c which continue to track well, yet he maintained strong views about DRM and the web[5] alongside what appears to be a continually interesting series of experiences[6] where he gets held-up[7] in customs more times than any psychiatrist would believe, save the circumstances of his public profile; and worked closely with others such as Aaron Swartz[8] whose story can be found in a film[9] whilst the memory of the very serious challenges involved in trying to do something good, is well known to those who are good at it[10]. My Draft text in a document i'm working on to support means that may result in some economic studies (part of any projected financials and related business modelling) with respect to the deployment of decentralised information management systems that support human ownership and operation of their data; includes the following draft comments about 'social encryption'. SOCIAL ENCRYPTION A lesser considered real-world fact, is that human beings are more complex than our computers; and as social-organisms, making use of our real-world environment alongside other senses; in a manner ICT networks and sensors continue to make attempts to mimic; it is considered to be amongst the most rudimentary of core assumptions that we are able to rely upon our means to form a shared comprehension of what it is we consider to be constituents of our ‘reality’ and that where it is the case that sufficient evidence be provided to any forum, that we are therefore able to make considerations that share a level of consensus between those involved. it is also the case that the means through which we are ‘programmed’ as to provide a means for us to do so; is different to the way online systems are developed to mimic and support the needs and ‘best interests’ of their operators, who in-turn are bound by law to maintain critical characteristics that are different, to what it means for all of us, to be human. Computers care-less for children; other than as may be computed to be provided stimulus, as to warrant more ‘economic attention’. By decentralising the web the means to build social-encryption is thought to be amongst the most important underlying pillars required for socioeconomic growth. _______ Henry Story has recently pointed me to his current works[11]. If anyone is aware of work within Australia that is attending to this field of study, let me know. Its difficult work to do in an isolated fashion; save circumstances where useful outputs are produced in a format that enables other teams to thereafter seek funding for their needs to take-up the project in formats that make it no less difficult to do the next pieces of work; employed overtime, by others locally to do the same. My hope is the economic works will highlight in a form of 'opportunity evaluation' (which is a method tutored in courses such as 'masters of entrepreneurship and innovation') that will in-turn build momentum. The problems that continue to be important with respect to 'why isoc?' - include (but are not limited to) the articulation of 'what is commons', and how is it discovered in machine-readable forms; the means to address the very series challenges that relate to any proper undertaking of works in the field of computing security technological approaches; alongside other important considerations, across the board, that are envisaged to be part of the policy dependent future making activities undertaken by locals, as 'cloud' gets pushed back out to the edge[12].
