A commons protocol network connecting small farms, citizen scientists, educators, artists, and communities through regenerative economics, IoT-backed observations, and open governance. Rooted in Müllrose, Brandenburg — alive across bioregions.
"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete." — Buckminster Fuller
Each service is a living node in the bioregional protocol network. Distinct roles, shared design, one commons identity.
The DAO governance layer and four-element token engine. Stewards participate in bioregional decision-making through transparent, on-chain coordination on the Stellar network.
bioregional.ubec.networkSteward-run observation networks embedded in place. Phenomenological field work, IoT sensor data, and qualitative notes — all flowing into the commons knowledge base.
living-labs.ubec.networkThe central REST API and IoT integration layer. All services authenticate through the Hub. Sensor readings, steward identities, and token rewards converge here.
iot.ubec.networkWatershed intelligence and bioregional cartography. The map is a proxemic diagram — showing data at intimate, personal, social, and public scales, following Hall's hidden dimension.
mapservice.ubec.networkThe physical-digital home of the commons. A working farm and bioregional hub in Müllrose, Brandenburg — where protocol meets soil, and IoT meets the 13 Questions.
erdpuls.ubec.networkA genuine Pattern Language of Place — an open educational resource structured after Christopher Alexander. Learning pathways, field materials, and reports in English, German, and Polish.
ubeccommon.github.io/Pattern_Language_of_PlaceOpen-source repositories, SDK documentation, and contribution guides. All platform code is licensed GNU AGPL v3.0. All documentation and design under CC BY-SA 4.0.
ubeccommon.github.ioThe unified gateway to the UBEC ecosystem. Mission, philosophy, and the origin story of a commons built not by fighting the existing reality, but by building a new model.
ubec.networkFour tokens — four elements — one generative sequence from universal access to collective transformation. Live on the Stellar network.
The primary circulation token. Gateway to the protocol network — open to all stewards entering the commons.
Earned through phenomenological observations and citizen science contributions. Data flows generate reciprocity value.
The stable store and documentation anchor. Grounds the protocol in place — the soil beneath the digital commons.
Activates governance and collective transformation. The element of action — when commons decisions must become reality.
These are not decorative references — they are operational design facilitators. Every feature, data structure, and API decision is legible through at least one of these lenses.
The foundational ethics of the entire ecosystem. Personhood is constituted through relationship — collective governance over individual extraction.
The OER repository is a genuine Pattern Language of Place. The platform evolves through unfolding wholeness — not imposed structure.
Data visibility follows proxemic zones — intimate, personal, social, public. Space communicates. The map is a proxemic diagram.
The 13 Questions to the Soil embody Goethe's delicate empiricism. Stewards observe phenomena first, interpret second. Quality of attention generates value.
The whole is more than the sum of parts. Doing more with less. The microservices architecture embodies the geodesic principle — each node bears its own load.
Not sustainable — regenerative. Every intervention returns more vitality to living systems than it draws. The commons grows stronger through use.
