Impact

If a network state uses the protocol however it could disincentivize companies from creating any kind of externality that the public doesn’t tolerate.

How? Since your voting power in the protocol is proportional to your contribution to the ecosystem (“Proof-of-Impact”), those who create negative externalities in the ecosystem are essentially reducing their influence in the system. So everyone in the network state has an incentive to avoid creating externalities. In fact, they have an interest in eliminating the externalities that others create. That’s how they can create a positive impact (and generate a profit).

But what if instead of creating negative externalities in the network state they’d simply create those externalities in another network state? Here is where another emergent property of the protocol comes into play: superalignment.

Every company wants to maximize profits. But if a company creates externalities in a different network state it cannot make a profit there later. (Part XII)

And so all network states are in fact aligned if they use the protocol, because they don’t create adversarial conditions for one another to get ahead. What you get instead is that any contributor can simultaneously work for the benefit of multiple network states. If they create something that benefits multiple networks, that is how they can maximize their impact and profits.

So while Impact Alpha starts as a modest project on a small decentralized social network, the goal is to transform the meta from “impact vs. profit” to “impact = profit.” So that any individual can live their best live and prosper by creating impact in the world. (Part XIII)
