The Fundamentals of HyperNet

HyperNet is an innovation-optimized Internet.  There are five layers involved in a global knowledge working fix.  HyperNet is the final layer on these fixes.

The first layer is the tranformation of the social grid to a user-centric Internet.  See CLOUD, Inc. for a great explanation of what this is and how it works:  http://cloudinc.org/

The second layer is establishment of an electronic civic space.  Physical and virtual civic spaces have been decimated, especially in the U.S.  I think many tech companies are attempting to privatize electronic civic space assets by creating profit centers around them.  Personally, I think we need a '.pub' domain that is funded and built through corporate social responsibility programs, volunteers, and national governments.  I-Open is a great example of a civic space Internet and the kind of content that belongs there: http://i-open.posterous.com/

The third layer is to fix the mechanics of the copyright system.  Copyright is pretty much a global process
