Slightly non-topical, but worth considering:
All the plays in Shakespeare's First Folio were there because Shakespeare never owned them... the Kings Men did and so there was an incentive to try to figure out how to profit from the plays after Shakespeare's death.... as long as the Kings Men were still kicking around... and so you created a book for subscriptions which was composed of plays, something not done before.  

Plays were published in quartet form I believe... paperback book equivalent that wouldn't last... so many plays from the time are lost... but not those in the First Folio... not the plays by Shakespeare which Shakespeare didn't own...

So when I link the ideas of Distributed Ownership -- or really the absence of ownership beyond the holding of individual tokens -- in a crypto project, the social basis for this is to create incentives which are not anchored to any one person or group....  and this is an evolutionary process -- so you start with proven models POW, POS, and mix them and evolve from there.

But what may be useful to consider is the end goal, which may or may not ever be reached -- which is a distributed cacophony of interests balanced in a community development and discussion process.  Not utopian -- messy and confusing -- but not reliant an any one group either.  

This is laid out in the papers that no one reads...... or at least which are poorly written enough that few seem to get it.

Anyway, interesting to think about past models which have worked and survived and few enough seem to be aware of the role of ownership structures in creating the Shakespearean canon...  

It is useful to step back and remember that in changing methods of exchange and transaction costs, we aren't talking about peevish little projects or goals -- but literally will be monkeying with and are monkeying with the fabric of societies.  

Crown's modest initial goal is to pry open access to applications and the cloud a little bit.  Then we will go from there.  In a sense the project flips ETH on it's head -- instead of centralizing compute on the blockchain, the goal is to let the blockchain open the door to distributed compute resources.

So instead of Shakespeare's plays being owned by the King's Men -- the idea is to publish an evolving folio of applications, with distributed access and distributed right and heterogeneous implementations.  It will be new and messy and fun... just like life -- or a trip to the theater in Elizabethan times.
