Innovation Meaning

What Does Innovation  Mean?

Innovation involves imagining a new, high utility and non obvious way that people and organizations can do the things, that they do every day, in a faster, safer, more efficient, or cheaper way. Patent your idea. I recently bought one independent claim filing for $10,000, U.S. dollars.

Innovation means that as the USA economy opens the doorways to small scale, entrepreneurship solutions delivered to market. Learn about 3D printing because you will use it for printing up a prototype of your invention. Look into makerspaces as places to learn how to make prototypes, by brains on and hands on learning.

Create a co-operative with like minded people to help you further your invention. Newland Cooperative of Minnesota Newland Coop seeks to host idea people inside co-operative incubators where they can meet time investors with the requisite skills to help out getting the idea off the ground. Social media is powerful.

Everybody shares in downstream idea income so they each get repaid for their time investment, based upon their overall level of involvement. Checkout my blog for additional information. LynoMN at blogspot.

Rural Innovation

Rural area innovation depends upon the local context. Best areas of innovation meet local needs concerning land ownership, water supply, waste removal and recycling, available natural resources, supplies, local sales markets, transportation, remote sales markets, storage, vendor services available and needed, the labor market, the capital market, banking, and a myriad more.

The humans of a rural geographic polygon hold interests in common. Consider the application of the cooperative business model within a rural area. The book “Newland 2084” covers the application of co-operatives to human problems like solving poverty.

Why choose the co-operative business model? It offers many advantages and capabilities.

1. Money and money management. The co-operative business model is the best way to handle money and money management. Every member gets a vote on money matters overseen by the treasurer. The money flow is made transparent to the members which reduces the risk of corruption
2. Time and time management. There is cooperative business to be done that demands human time. The pool of available human time is the cooperatives greatest resource and it needs to be managed well. The time accounting records are made transparent to the members which encourages honesty and fairness.
3. Facilities and equipment. The co-operative may provide shared facilities and equipment to its members. Financing of facilities and equipment becomes a shared responsibility.
4. Supplies and products. Co-operative members must decide on and manage suppliers and vendors. Products must be delivered to market and sold to customers.
5. Social media expertise helps in handling procurement, sales, public relations, and fund raising activities.

In all of these areas and more, the social community that emerges in a co-operative demonstrates to all concerned that nobody has to go it alone.

Carbon Gasification

Big picture goals for human civilization upon earth include how we handle carbon. How much carbon do we bring to the earth’s surface? Where do we stash carbon when it is not in the atmosphere? These are decent questions. Intellectual spins to the contrary the truth is simple to understand.

To remove CO2 from the atmosphere plant trees. BTU is the measure of energy. The USA uses about 100 quadrillion BTUs of energy from carbon resources every year. The best place to sequester excess carbon is in plastic. Gather up CO2 and feed it to methanogen bacteria. Produce methane. 

If you want to do the most that you can for a rural area, it would be to install carbon gasification capabilities for breaking carbon sources down  into individual carbon atoms and then recombining them into fuels, polymers, and plastics. The ash remaining from the final carbon extraction process is fine grained ash useful in ceramics and cement.

Build a carbon gasification campus for a community of 12,000 humans. Produce product dimethyl ether DME and watch the boutique cooperative industries that will emerge around polymers. Local community supplies of sticky polymers to glue stuff together and create beautiful composites. DME burns as clean diesel. As the final form of the carbon atom flow onto the earth’s surface consider the value of plastics to USA society.

Besides is utility value, plastic serves as the ultimate sequestration sink of carbon. The carbon is easily recovered by using gasification back to DME. This creates a local community closed cycle carbon flow system.

Back to planet earth and what is innovative in rural areas. Get some skilled idea people together in a co-operative. Put them to the task of imagining a rural area connected to the internet with local idea people, innovators and entrepreneurs, figuring out how to build a boutique plastics industry around the polymer and plastic output of carbon gasification and participation in the DME economy.

Invention How To Sell

This answer is in response to the Quora question I have an invention idea but it's out of my hands to ever do it. How can I sell my idea?.

Newland Cooperative of Minnesota and the book “Newland 2084” deal with how an idea person can help bring a patent claim or any creative product or idea to market by joining in a membership cooperative. Newland Cooperative of Minnesota is an incubator cooperative. It contains a recursive set of membership based cooperatives, one of which is associated with your invention. When your invention grows up and generates income, that income is shared in a manner fair and beneficial to all concerned. You, those who directly helped you, those co-ops who helped you.

Your co-op will be spun off to operate under its own accounting books once it generates taxable income. If your idea includes franchisees, they will all pay a royalty share of their gross income to your cooperative and your co-op recursively does likewise to its parent, all the way to the top. A share of the profit and a share of the royalties flow to the parent co-op or co-ops in a predetermined share arrangement, per a democracy of the co-op membership, subject to rules within each co-op. The minimum royalty from the first dollar of gross income is one part in seven-hundred-twenty parts share of gross income as royalty.

Everybody pays a small gross income royalty back into the Newland Royalty Fund. Your cooperative does. All of your ancestor and descendant co-op pay royalties. Every active Newland co-op pays its royalties. Royalties are based on a share of gross income, which is a transparent factor.

STARTUP YOUR IDEA CO-OP

The starting principle is that a group of inventors, writers, artists, and so forth decide to pool their ideas, patents, copyright, and trademark rights inside a cooperative business. They become members of the Newland Cooperative of Minnesota.

If your invention looks worth developing further it will get members interested in your endeavor in their various social media feeds. Others will will want to become members of your virtual co-operative. That means other inventors, writers, artists, musicians, actors, engineers, materials specialists, prototype builders, lawyers, social media specialists will sign up to help with your invention.

Time investors will flock to your idea. We will vote. Your idea has become our idea, as a virtual co-op housed within NewlandCoop.com. Volunteer will invest time in your effort. Time will be recorded by time invested on task working on all aspects of getting our product to market. As income from sales of your invention arrives it will pay for approved time investments, they will pay expenses and the profit is distributed as patronage, based upon the amount and value of the time invested.

Once you have received your share of the profit and your cup is full, the excess of your cup flows to those most directly involved until their cup is full. The flow of a blockbuster movie fills many cups, initially as transparent royalty income up to their hourly rate and then in the tail of transparent royalty income of residuals.

LivingVote Governance

Life in a LivingVote™ World

A LivingVote™ governed society, assures humans of the reality, that their LivingVote choice, on some bylaws governance item, really counts. Their vote must count from the moment they first establish they first establish their starting YES setting, on a scale from zero percent to one hundred percent. Voters will watch the aggregate vote patterns change, as they refine their choice. Watching constitutions, laws, agency rules, environmental limits changing, in near real time; it will become the new Reality show.

@KellyannePolls @StephenBannon @transition2017 @realDonaldTrump @LynoMN Use LivingVote polling. Once the vote ballot item is announced it can simply serve as a survey item. If President Trump's team wants to know how voters feel on some matter they need merely add it to voters ballots. A simple phone app can count the number of ballot items needing a first sentiment vote to the words being voted upon.  Vote results stream real time to voter's phones and devices.

Once the aggregate vote stabilizes, for some predetermined interval of time, the  governance item is locked in and sent to quality control where all illogical governance wording gets backed out and figured out later. Anything holding up the arrival of the expected wording gets moved aside. There's songs could be written about the urgency of keeping the Constitution and Laws of the United States of America moving. Maybe these wording changes can someday happen so fast that Watson can be a phone call away with the answer.

Watson can manage the Deltas. The only way to repair wording is to repair all necessary parts simultaneously. Back comes new wording that replaces in its entirety the set of illogical wording. Eventually the whole set of wording passes it final quality assurance test. Then the new set of wording takes effect at once. With a continuous integration and continuous deployment, known as a CI/CD pipeline, the automated rules of the Senate, House, and Governor all understand.

Maybe we'll let a bunch of IBM Watson like computers mutually agree to have the final say, on the entire package of Governance being deployed live into to Production. Once passed the words take effect.  For so long as voters live. they can change their vote on any governance item at any time. When they die, their vote no longer affects governance. It all gets factored in. It is ultimately the will We the People, who must decide these matters, that really count.

Bifurcation Vote

The traditional way of voting is to make the decision once and for all times and be done with it. Changing the governance item requires another vote on the wording changes.

A LivingVote Governance Item

Think how much more effective governance becomes when a coop, corporation, business cost center, project, family business, social club, church, or some other social organization utilizes the LivingVote™ governance means.

LivingVote Governance Changes

Excerpts from "Newland 2084"

Within the human behavioral constraints imposed directly or indirectly, by layer upon layer of government, humans are free to enjoy what remains of their privileges, rights, and freedoms. Within the constraints of imposed by government, the co-operative LivingVote™ represents the new art of governance. The LivingVote™ is the preferred decision-making process for matters of basic human affairs, as well as affairs of the polygons, cooperatives, clubs, families, and so forth. The LivingVote™ behavioral pattern is embedded within the startup Newland™ Co-operative behavioral pattern.

A Newland ™ Co-operative is owned and operated by its members. The operational characteristics of every Newland Co-operative are established and adjusted according to the ongoing and evolving LivingVote™. The LivingVote™ represents an emergence behavioral model. Rather than behavioral constraints being handed down from above, in the manner of a command and control hierarchical decision-making process, the LivingVote™ embodies the principles of power and control bubbling up and emerging from below. Every human feels like they have a direct say in matters of every Newland™ Cooperative of which they are a member.

Because Newland™ Member Agreement terms and conditions attain an 80 percent Pass LivingVote™, these conditions will require the corresponding 80 percent Fail LivingVote™ to be changed. This stabilizing characteristic of the LivingVote™ allows Newland™ to better fend off the vagaries of fads faction politics. Political parties have the power in the form of political governance known in ancient times as a Republic. Newland™ Co-operative governance is known in modern times as LivingVote™ Democracy. While it would have been possible to utilize a LivingVote™ governance model in ancient times, it is made practical in modern times with the advent of modern technology such as computers. It is the combination of NetZero™ closed funds established and maintained by the LivingVote™ that is the game changer in civilized society.

Pertaining to co-operatives, anyone wishing to receive any royalty income distribution must participate in all of the LivingVote™ matters put before the membership. The Newland™ Distribution Engine talks with the LivingVote™ Engine, and distributions are bypassed for so long as the LivingVote™ decisions have not been made. There is no such capability as “catching up” on benefits not received. Any member who believes their LivingVote™ choice, concerning any matter, must be changed simply changes their LivingVote™. If enough members change their vote from Yes to No, then the matter switches from Pass to Fail. Even the terms and conditions agreed to within the Newland™ Member Agreement document may change over time.

Likewise, the terms of the and conditions of the Newland™ License may be changed by new, modified, or deleted words changed by the LivingVote™ results on the question. This book, Newland 2084, explains a preferred embodiment among alternatives.

Conclusion

The mechanics of how the LivingVote operates is simple to understand. The social and business impacts may take days, weeks, or months to emerge. These matters are discussed in more detail in the book "Newland 2084" by Lyno.
