super modularity
[supermodularity
claude.iconSupermodularity (supermodularity) refers to a situation in which it is more efficient to provide a good or service en masse on a large scale than on an individual basis. The main points are as follows
With the development of technology, more and more goods and services are becoming super-modular. This leads to increased efficiency, but also carries the risk of monopolies and private enclosures.
A combination of market mechanisms and public supply is necessary for the optimal supply of supermodular goods.
Supermodular goods often have anti-rival properties. The more users they have, the more valuable they become. Potential applications include AI, Internet governance, carbon markets, etc. In short, the authors argue that a collective knowledge approach combining public, private, and community-based decision-making mechanisms is promising for the efficient provision and democratic governance of supermodular goods.
