An IdeaFarm (tm) IdeaNet (tm) "book" is a website that can only be accessed by paid human subscribers. Once you have subscribed, it will be easy for you to access any book in the system using your favorite browser. Your custom IdeaNet (tm) "key program" can be used on any personal computer running MS Windows with IPv6 connectivity. Restricting access to paid human subscribers will create a direct writer-to-reader market for poetry and other writings. Restricting access to paid human subscribers also protects the system from attack. To secure the system against such persons, each human subscriber must either pay a high set-up charge or obtain a code from another subscriber.

The "no refunds" policy is primarily to secure the system against attack. The only way to try the system without paying anything is to get the promotion code from a subscriber.

When subscribing, you must provide a shipping address where you can receive physical mail. Your subscription will be effective immediately, but a postcard will be sent to that address to verify that you are a human and that you can receive physical mail. Subscriptions that remain unverified will eventually be terminated without refund.

The IdeaFarm (tm) IdeaNet books listed at the bottom of this page are coming soon. Access to all of these books, as they are developed, will initially be included with your subscription. As each book matures into a "finished" product, access to it will no longer be included free and will begin to require a separate subscription:

Some of the books present original art that the author has placed into the public domain. The author retains copyright and the right to control usage of text and software, but generally places other intellectual property, such as design innovations and concepts, into the public domain. In particular, the following innovations are placed into the public domain:

1. Calculating secret time-based IPv6 addresses using a shared secret. (The IdeaNet (tm) system.)
2. Supplementing the study of "what is true" (conventional science) with the study of "what might be true" (artificial macrocosms). (ICIS.)
3. Delivering universal education by subscription to equip We The People (every adult person) with an accurate and useful elementary understanding of economics and society. (ICIS.)
4. Contributing to current advanced research in economic theory. ("Advanced Economic Theory for We The People".)
5. Creation of a quasi-religious organization to promote unselfish living. (IFO.)
6. Creation of a worldwide "I.T. department" to empower We The People with an innovative software craftwork environment and a new kind of social media. (IPDOS (tm).)
7. Construction of "a New World for our time", a sovereign "place" in Cyberspace, where every human being on the planet can freely speak and associate. (IFC.)
8. Construction of a new kind of "World Wide Web" that is "paid access only" and that is practically immune to attack. (IdeaNet (tm).)
9. Creating a new form of writing that organizes ideas in a tree rather than linearly. (IdeaFarm (tm) Knowledge Trees.)

ICIS - IdeaFarm (tm) College of Imagination Science (included free): A correspondence school for busy working adults of all education levels, from persons who struggle reading English to persons with graduate degrees. The core feature distinguishing ICIS is that all courses of study are based upon the idea that what MIGHT BE true can be more important than what IS true. Conventional scientific method is designed to reveal what IS true. The method used in all ICIS programs is more like mathematics. It is designed to reveal logical possibilities and to expose hypotheses about the world that are logically impossible. Some programs in ICIS are designed to complement contemporary science and are for advanced students. But most programs are designed to give normal, busy, working adults a logical and likely practical understanding of their world.

Elementary Economic Theory for We The People (included free): A textbook for the Introductory Economics course sequence in ICIS. Written for busy adults of all education levels and backgrounds, this book introduces key elementary concepts required for a practical understanding of the economic system. The most useful standard topics are covered, as well as novel ideas professed and developed by ICIS faculty.

Advanced Economic Theory for We The People (included free): A textbook for the advanced economic theory course sequence in ICIS. Written for full time students who have completed a conventional graduate degree program (M.A., Ph.D.) in economic theory. Focuses on advanced topics currently being researched by ICIS faculty, and the ideas that they profess.

IFO - IdeaFarm Operations, Incorporated (included free): A California nonprofit religious membership corporation. The mission of IFO is to promote unselfish living. This is pursued by organizing face to face "eat together" groups, called "villages", worldwide. Such villages can be faith-based, hosted by religious faith communities, and limited to persons who embrace and practice a particular religious tradition. But a village can also be secular and open to all persons regardless of religious belief and practice. All villages must be open to persons of all races. The common element is that every participant is committed to living unselfishly in community with others who have made the same commitment.

IPDOS (tm) - IdeaFarm (tm) Piggyback Distributed Operating System (included free): A general purpose programming environment for the C++ language. IPDOS (tm) is proprietary open source. Think of IPDOS (tm) as a global information technology "I.T. department" for We The People, worldwide. This book provides an introduction, overview, features and benefits, a guide, and a reference manual.

IFC - IdeaFarm (tm) City - Federal Constitutional Protectorate of the United States of America (included free): A sovereign "place" on the Internet. IFC is a "micronation" with a serious purpose and a serious claim to sovereignty. The serious purpose is to empower We The People against The Evil Establishment economically, socially, and politically, in every territorial nation. The serious claim to sovereignty is based upon the Governing Proprietor's constitutional rights, primarily under the First Amendment, as a citizen of the United States of America. Activities within IFC that consist solely of speech and/or association and that have no nexus with the territory of any nation (such as a nation's currency), are deemed to occur in a sovereign "place" on the Internet that is not subject to the jurisdiction of any territorial nation. As a practical matter, the government of IFC is friendly to the territorial Nation-State system and is, as constituted, required to refrain from interfering with the internal affairs of any territorial nation. The strategic objective of IFC is to introduce people worldwide to the ideas that (1) they are not the property of the territorial nation in which they reside, and (2) it is an inalienable human right to speak and associate freely in "places" on the Internet such as IFC. IFC government will not consent to taxation or regulation by any territorial government, and when such matters arise, IFC will suggest that the territorial government in issue simply block the IdeaFarm (tm) IdeaNet (tm) IPv6 prefix within its territory. Each territorial nation that seeks to tax or regulate the speech and/or association activities within IFC must thus choose between recognizing the sovereignty of IFC and foregoing the benefits of access to all content on IdeaFarm (tm) IdeaNet (tm) Books.

IdeaFarm (tm) IdeaNet (tm) Books (included free): Introduces and provides an overview, including features and benefits, as well as a guide for readers and a guide for writers. This system provides a superior alternative to the conventional World Wide Web. Each "book" is a web site and is viewed using whichever browser the person uses to view conventional web pages. But the computers that serve such "books" can only be contacted by using a custom program file that is emailed to each person who subscribes for access to the system. This can be done on any personal computer running MS Windows, but requires IPv6 connectivity.

IdeaFarm (tm) Knowledge Trees (included free): Introduces and provides an overview, including features and benefits, as well as a guide for readers and a guide for writers. You are viewing a page of an IdeaFarm (tm) Knowledge Tree. Such writing is distinguished from conventional writing in that many sentences are clickable. Clicking on the first sentence of a paragraph causes the reader to "climb up" one level in the tree, to view the page for that paragraph. That page will display one additional level of detail. Clicking on any other sentence in a paragraph causes the reader to "climb up" two levels in the tree, to view the page for that sentence. That page will display two additional levels of detail. IdeaFarm (tm) Knowledge Trees are both easier to write and easier to read, due to this powerful yet simple and uniform structure.
