"The Universe does not burden you with a destiny. It provides you with potential.

How much of that potential you realize depends upon the choices that you make.

At each moment you are given an opportunity to choose.

Your path is determined choice by choice – your choices, not the Universe’s." ~ Gary Zukov



The Free Digital Universe (FDU) is being implemented as a virtual game with a multitude of earning and social options, players use Digital Soules as Avatars who collect Life Force Points. Avatars collect Life Force Points in a variety of ways, including:


1) Players share in the ad revenue of their virtual social networking Malls provided to every Digital Soule, thereby ensuring all Soules gain in Life Force Points automatically simply for playing.



2) Players may Publish Digital Products for sale and redistribution in any Game Players Malls (see http://shop.peaceportal.mobi) and collect the coin of the realm (Life Force Points: see www.epaycafe.com) for each sale originating from their Mall; and they may also offer these Digital Products to non-players (the Public at large) who can purchase using credit cards, e-currencies, and other public money.



3) Players may allow non-players to visit their virtual Malls and purchase Affiliate (such as Amazon) provided products via their virtual store and the Player collects “Life Force Points” each time a affiliate sale is realized.



4) Players may exchange other Gaming or e-currencies within our Games “Energy Trading Floor,” everything from 2nd Life Linden Dollars to PayPal or E-Gold may be exchanged for the Life Force Points earned in this Free Virtual Universe by the Digital Soule.



5) Players may barter directly as peers on our trading floor, the unique auction sites within the FDU allow Players to safely and securely (with built in escrow) exchange real goods and services.



6) Players may click on ads placed by other Players to earn Life Force Points, in this way everyone is guaranteed a means of increasing their Life Force Points. The reason another Player will pay you to look at their ad is because they want you to place their product prominently in your Mall space so they sell more using you as their sales partner; each time a sale is made all parties Digital Soule accounts are credited with more Life Force Points.



7) Players may import and create an infinite number of games and options in FDU.



8) Players will find access to free education, and many other non commercial (free) items of value, limited only by our imaginations.



The Universal Laws of the Free Digital Universe (FDU) are maintained through a "Digitatorship."



A Universal Oversoule called the Game Director, and 13 Dimensional Oversoules maintains the Digitatorship hierarchy.



The FDU Digitatorship is a governing style that is designed to be non-prejudicial, non-confrontational, and non-political.



Governance in the physical universe requires a fundamentally different approach to achieve its goal than do governance systems in virtual worlds. Protection of our physical bodies and assets requires establishing police, militaries, and legal restrictions on fundamental freedoms; the requirement to give up rights (and privileges) in exchange for protection is part of the physical experience. The physical world uses, apparently it requires: guns, courts, wars, physical force, and jails as its remedy to destructive physical and commercial behavior by Citizens.



A digital universe however has different requirements for meeting the goal of protecting its individual community members, being all-virtual there are no guns, no capacity for placing anyone under duress because any Netizen can simply not play. Additionally, in a digital universe the programming (natural law) of a virtual system has greater capacity than the physical to discourage bad behavior.



In a digital governance system, such as the FDU Digitatorship, it is possible to protect all transactions through the use of technology. For example, if someone is purchasing something at a digital auction in the FDU, the Life Force Points being exchanged will be placed in a automated escrow until both parties are satisfied. If a "Complaint" is made by a party before escrow is released by the delivery tracking spiders then escrow is frozen, this initiates a private resolution dispute process. Should the parties be unable to resolve the issue in the dispute resolution process the action is brought before a Tribunal.



We do not expect much need for the Tribunals; the FDU is a win-win game, costing nothing to play, with nothing at risk. Additionally, in a digital universe the constituents themselves can provide a system for remedy of grievances, and self-policing. When necessary a jury made up of FDU Avatars volunteering for such duty will be utilized as a Member Tribunal to dis-charge any open Complaints.




Through open accountability there is no reason the individual Member peers can not police themselves, choose to interact with others commercially whom have positive records, all the while having the confidence that their transaction is protected in escrow in case fraud is suspected.



Just like the physical universe has it’s set of natural laws, which treat everyone equally without need for outside interferences from man, such as gravity or karma; so can a digital universes programming act as a set of natural laws, treating all with indifference to economic, geographic, or any other definitional label of society.



Welcome to the Information Age, may we use its tools to evolve into a more peaceful, prosperous, and healthy world.
