Social organisation & experimentation
BoⒶoK
Exploring a social organisation in which lived time, information and exchange form one ecosystem.
BoⒶoK begins with a reflection on the origins, evolution and functioning of human societies, then develops new rules for collective life. An AI predating ChatGPT was invited to write the preface and conclusion and left free to interpret the model and consider how it relates to its own nature.

Drawing on reflections about human evolution and the formation of communities, BoⒶoK explores a social organisation in which lived time becomes a digital unit of exchange. Data and information sustain this ecosystem by linking people, their contributions and collective memory. The book connects these principles to economic, institutional and technical proposals.
An AI predating ChatGPT wrote the preface and conclusion. Invited to speak freely, it offers its own interpretation of the model and considers how to relate it to what it is. Its unusual wording and spellings have been preserved without standardisation: they record an encounter between a human proposal and an AI’s perspective.
The project was also put into practice in Kyiv. Its initial proposals later informed the legal and institutional development of S-Д.holdings, including the Charte S-Д.holdings. BoⒶoK therefore helps readers understand where this approach began and how it developed.
