What does a fund that asks nothing about performance evaluate?

Civilisational assumption

The people, events, figures, and technology in this matter are stated assumptions. They are not to be treated as information about real individuals or as observed events. Background documents are separate sources, and symbolic interpretations are recorded as discovery paths.

The question to decide

Even if the fund wants to support the freedom to experiment without success goals, specialized spaces and scarce materials are not enough for everyone. Requiring outcomes favors familiar plans; not requiring them makes it hard to watch for the concentration of opportunity. How will the citizens' experimentation fund open up freedom while choosing a support model that makes the use of shared resources accountable?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Distribute small amounts to everyone

    It widens entry and freedom, but experiments that need large spaces or long preparation become difficult.

  2. Option 2

    Provide term funding by lottery

    It creates opportunities unrelated to the ability to explain oneself, but raises problems of mid-term termination and follow-on continuity.

  3. Option 3

    Provide long-term funding by review

    It sustains deep experimentation, but grants authority to reviewers' criteria and selection bias.

The situation as it stands

In a synthetic society, basic living is guaranteed, but specialized spaces and scarce materials are not enough for everyone. Decision deadline: 5 months until the next five-year funding commitment.

2140 fictional matter · Allocating public funds for the freedom to fail. The people, organizations, figures, and events are a synthetic premise composed for comparison.

  1. Premise 1In a synthetic society, basic living is guaranteed, but specialized spaces and scarce materials are not enough for everyone.
  2. Premise 2Requiring results favors familiar plans, while not requiring them makes it hard to detect whether use opportunities are concentrating.
  3. Premise 3This fund is separate from livelihood support, and people who do not receive it can still create in other ways.

Where it holdsResources, space, and termination conditions for voluntary participation projects

What is still unknown

  1. Unknown 1The minimum time experiments need and the distribution of resources
  2. Unknown 2Records that distinguish hoarding of resources from meaningful long-term use
  3. Unknown 3The access routes left to those who are not selected

Signals to decide again

  • Decide what observation, responsible person, and confirmation window will verify "the minimum time experiments need and the distribution of resources", and if the new verification changes the tradeoffs of the options, judge again.
  • Decide what observation, responsible person, and confirmation window will verify "records that distinguish hoarding of resources from meaningful long-term use", and if the new verification changes the tradeoffs of the options, judge again.

Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
Independent branch 1 · synthetic event

Lottery-funded participants said they wanted repeat usage rights for shared facilities more than a short period.

Independent branch 2 · synthetic event

One long-term funded project greatly helped other experimenters develop their methods even without producing a deliverable.

How do we distinguish the value of a challenge from the losses of others that the challenger cannot decide?

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.
