A taste remembered together now carries the company's conditions

2109The deep futureDeadline · Within 120 days until the new reproduction contract

Civilisational assumption

The people, events, figures, and contract terms are a synthetic premise. They are not statements of real cases or of current law. The source documents are the roots of the background and the norms and do not establish the premises of the scenario.

The question to decide

A manufacturer wants exclusive use of the design file for a taste reproduced from many people's memories. Signing lets the taste be enjoyed again quickly, but securing joint design rights costs money, and it is unknown whether independent development can reach the same taste. How should the community carry forward both the familiar taste and the right to make and change it themselves?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Enter into a use agreement with the company

    Brings the recreated taste to the table quickly but binds the use of shared memory to the company's terms.

  2. Option 2

    Secure joint design rights and operate

    Decides future access and modification together but shares the cost of securing and maintaining the rights.

  3. Option 3

    Develop a different taste independently

    Opens a way out of external terms but loses some of the familiar taste and preparation time.

The situation as it stands

The assumed technology collects many people's taste memories to recreate the senses of vanished foods. Decision deadline: within 120 days, by the new reproduction contract.

2109 future synthetic scenario · A single company owns the design files that recreate the tastes of childhood. The events, figures, technology, and the nature of the civilization are assumptions for the sake of the question, not predictions of the future or observed facts.

  1. Premise 1The assumed technology collects many people's taste memories to recreate the senses of vanished foods.
  2. Premise 2The producer demands exclusive use of the design files, and the participants say their memories were shared ingredients.
  3. Premise 3Developing it again would bring independence, but whether the same taste can be reproduced and the time needed to participate are uncertain.

Where it holdsAssumed taste design, shared memory, and access

What is still unknown

  1. Unknown 1Use terms at the time the memories were provided
  2. Unknown 2Cooking and sensory knowledge that remains without the design files
  3. Unknown 3Access rights of members who did not participate

Signals to decide again

  • Decide what observation, responsible party, and confirmation channel can establish the 「use terms at the time the memories were provided」, and re-judge if a new confirmation changes the tradeoffs of the options.

How is today's harvest traded for next season's options?

An exploratory perspective chosen by the creator. Does not claim supernatural validity or the superiority of any particular option.
Values and norms

The benefits and costs of the options accrue to different stakeholders. Which loss to accept remains undecided.

A subject for the decision-maker to argue over; the materials carry no conclusion of their own.
