-===== Communitarium Wiki =====
+====== Communitarium Wiki ======
-This is the knowledge center of **Communitarium**. It is a wiki, something along the lines of [[https://wikipedia.org|Wikipedia]] but, rather than compile an encyclopedia, it's purpose is to collect articles detailing all the knowledge we have accumulated which will:
+Welcome to the **Communitarium Wiki**, a collaborative space dedicated to exploring, developing, and articulating the theoretical foundations and practical applications of the **Communitarium Project**. This wiki serves as a repository for our ongoing discussions, evolving perspectives, and critical examinations of social, economic, and organizational systems.
-  * Help us in the tasks we undertake
+The Communitarium Wiki is organized into several major sections, each representing an area of focus for our efforts to understand and reshape the structures around us toward a more equitable and collective future.
-  * Summarize our current understanding of relevant individuals, organizations, laws and regulations, principles and events
+===== Purpose =====
+The purpose of this wiki is to:
+  * Provide a comprehensive overview of the key concepts, terms, and ideas behind the Communitarium Project.
+  * Offer critical perspectives on existing institutions and explore alternative systems.
+  * Foster ongoing discussion and revision of the foundational concepts driving the Communitarium's vision.
+  * Serve as a resource for those interested in exploring theoretical and practical applications of communitaria.
+===== Structure =====
+The Communitarium Wiki is divided into the following sections:
+  * [[historical_and_theoretical_foundations|Historical and Theoretical Foundations]]: This section covers the intellectual traditions and theoretical frameworks that underpin the Communitarium Project. It includes explorations of **capitalism-erosion**, **information entities**, **information ensembles**, and other foundational theories.
+  * [[key_terms_and_concepts|Key Terms and Concepts]]: Here, we define and discuss important terms such as **interpretive frameworks**, **Max's Dybbuk**, and **ecological evaluation**. These definitions will be periodically updated as our understanding deepens.
+  * [[institutions_organizations_systems|Institutions, Organizations, and Systems]]: This section provides critical examinations of existing institutions and systems of governance, economy, and culture. It also explores alternatives and proposes new forms of organization consistent with the Communitarium's values.
+  * [[books_authors_schools_of_thought|Books, Authors, and Schools of Thought]]: Summaries and critical reflections on relevant literature, including works by authors like **Elinor Ostrom**, **Erik Olin Wright**, and others. This section will also engage with various schools of thought that align with or challenge the Communitarium's goals.
+  * [[sociocultural_studies|Sociocultural Studies]]: Explores the dynamic processes of social interaction, cultural formation, and the development of social norms through the lens of dissimulation, performance, and other interpretive frameworks. This area of study focuses on how human societies maintain, negotiate, and alter meaning, with particular attention to the management of both the **collective conscious** and the **collective unconscious**.
+  * [[communitarium_in_practice|Communitarium in Practice]]: Focused on the practical applications of Communitarium ideas, this section will showcase examples of how communitaria might work in real-world settings, as well as guidelines for creating and sustaining them.
+  * [[blog|Communitarium Blog]]
+===== Contributions and Revisions =====
+As the Communitarium Wiki grows, it will evolve through the contributions and insights of its participants. We encourage regular revision and refinement of the material, especially as new discussions shed light on deeper aspects of our key concepts.
+For updates, discussions, or to propose changes, visit the [[discussion_page|Discussion Page]].
+Join us in this collaborative effort to imagine and build a better world through the lens of communitaria!
-This particular wiki is implemented in software called [[https://dokuwiki.org|Dokuwiki]]. It requires some learning to be able to edit articles but it is pretty straightforward to use.
-As we accumulate articles here this start page will probably serve as a top-level table of contents but, for now, it will just direct you to a subsection dedicated to [[wiki:communitarium|the top Communitarium page]]
