Cyber-physical decentralized planning for communizing
COMPETITION & CHANGE(2023)
Abstract
This paper proposes a decentralized planning constructed as a cyber-physical system to jointly manage supply and demand, including aspects related to production and circulation, without the mediation of money. Our aim is to provide a concrete technical solution for a future society based on communizing and commons-based resource allocation as an attempt to move in-against-and-beyond the value-form, which is the social "force-field" that characterizes the capitalist mode of production. This contribution is divided into three articulated parts: (i) a review of the elementary forms that jointly determine the capitalist social organization, (ii) a defense of the proposition that the money-form must be destroyed to enable a new mode of production based on communizing, and (iii) a proposal of a cyber-physical implementation of a jointly decentralized production planning and resource allocation over large infrastructures that enable a multilevel polycentric governance as a variation of the Interactive Economic Planning and Optimized Selections (I-EPOS) algorithm when coordination is needed.
