What is CULTU.RE?

- "CULTU.RE provides functional models for self-sovereignty through nations of agreements. Think: ‘quantified burning man’ + universal access to human rights."

- "Designing and implementing a governance metaframework for increased cultural mobility/cross-pollination and universal access to human rights."

- "Encouraging and enabling purpose-inducing reflection and discussion about self in relation to communities and the world at large, while providing a platform for empowering the individual in selectively contributing to worthwhile causes by providing the tools to organize and govern in a decentralized, opt-in manner."

- "The goal is to bring technological and structural solutions into one place and give people a platform to increase their personal, political, financial, and creative freedom."

- "Transforming the process of ownership to a process of stewardship"

- "The tools people need to be able to create the world that they would like to live in, in a way that actually generates and inspires more opportunity"

- "In addition to political liberation, culture is also looking to provide financial liberation through universal ownership of digital assets and creative liberation through freedom of association and sovereign economic structures. that means you register all of your things, and the people who give you things, you become self-sufficient, and you are able to participate in and create different cultures in a collaborative network for community governance ecosystems."

- "As a platform on the blockchain, CULTU.RE is designed to work mutually with many protocols and dApps, unlike other entities which are focused on one token or one ecosystem on the blockchain (like Ether or EOS)."

- "CULTU.RE is a sovereign standard of identity rights and a legal system of contract law toward integral community beyond the borders of one jurisdiction."

- "To achieve these ends ethically, we have a responsibility to mutually benefit the rights of the individual, and create standards of shared service for infrastructure components helping human life, with their consent, to reach their full potential. At the same time, through CULTU.RE and the movement it represents, we intend to create standards for voluntary group service to help humanity thrive. We should all be able to live without facing the threat of violence, famine, or the plague of easily preventable diseases."

We are the epitome of Burning Man

- "CULTURE will become a self governing civilization of empowerment and creation, on and for Earth, at the root of the post-political movement. We are creating CULTURE through our intentional communities, economies and deliberative societies. We are redefining rule of law (power) by allowing people to create and self-select models of governance and economy based around agency, collaboration, community, and virtue."

- "CULTU.RE is a collaboration to unite new forms of *necessary* ownership for sovereign rights, with traditional institutions, and digital wealth, in one beautifully designed interface. CULTU.RE enables the world to more easily play, create and explore."

- "CULTU.RE is the user-interface layer for playing with and building decentralized worlds."

- "CULTURE re-incentivizes individuals acting within governance networks to form interdependent marketplaces which enable self-sovereign, self-organizing, voluntary networks to co-opt and compete with traditional infrastructure for the benefit of humanity."

- "Fostering communication, collaboration, and unity."

- "CULTU.RE is an engine for making agreements between yourself as a sovereign being and your communities. The goal is to create a virtual ecosystem where your personal preferences, purposes, skills and contributions to different projects and communities help you gain access to dynamic new worlds where you can solve vital problems."

- "Standard and implementation of an (offline!) identity wallet, a claims (skills, marriage, land titles, deeds, medical records) blockchain"

- "Identity wallet (or OnePass for private keys), blockchain presence aggregation based on identities, cross-blockchain dApp store, and Initial Community Offering blockchain with the infrastructure needed to self-organize and govern, e.g., contribution tokens."

- "CULTU.RE must remain interoperable ie -> api for all blockchains and blockchain infrastructure"

- "Culture aims to be the Wordpress of governments. A platform that integrates with other dapps like daostack and Aragon governance platforms."

- "Culture is creating a free and open-source government management system (GMS) and a platform based on this GMS that serves as a playground/incubator for governments."

- "What culture is in current phase is a movement and community sharing the ideal of a greater decentralized society. We serve the ecosystems with this goal. In addition to this we aspire to foster the development as you say of the open source Firefox browser that brings all the functionality of all the decentralization services integrated into a single system as Firefox does for all the internet web sites and web apps"
