Conjecture

Knowledge, like temperature, is not a thing and is measured only through proxies: what it lets people and places do. So a mechanism that values contributions to a commons should score them by what they make possible later (claims built on them, predictions that resolve, decisions they change), not by an inventory of what was handed in.

    Knowledge lives in people and on the things we do. That again is simple enough to understand, but putting a number on it is hard.
