  • One of the primary scarce resources in digital contexts: namespaces.[xp]
    • Namespaces are the points where the ecosystem coordinates.
    • Everyone goes to the namespace that everyone else cares most about, which makes it rivalrous.
    • There is one Barack Obama article on Wikipedia because Wikipedia has one main namespace[xq].
    • This is what forces the random percolating energy about that topic to be convergent vs divergent.
      • Everyone has to collaboratively debate for their perspective to "win" and be absorbed into the single article.
