I have an open source experiment for y'all

 

I invented a political/economic LAW and I call this law Joe's Law. I tried to get Wikipedia to publish it; however that effort failed.

 

The political/economic LAW is my discovery; the words describing the political/economic Law are my invention.

 

The reason why this open source experiment is being offered in this thread could become obvious to the reader as the reader works on the open source experiment.

 

Someone, or many people, suggest that open source won’t make someone rich and the alternative is to patent an invention so as to get rich as the patent enforces the elimination of competitors who re-produce the item that is under the patent enforcement mechanism.

 

Once the reader becomes familiar with the political/economic LAW (as it exists in reality) their notions of patent enforcement may change.

 

I’ll offer my invention of wording (Joe’s Law) of the political/economic LAW and then describe a few illustrations as to how it works in reality. Any reader can compete in this open source experiment whereby the political/economic LAW is described with better wording through the open source business model. Someone can steal the discovery or the credit for discovering the law and as far as I am concerned it really doesn’t matter once the reader (observer) understands the far reaching implications of the political/economic LAW.

 

Joe’s Law:

 

Power produced into a state of oversupply reduces the price of power while purchasing power increases because power reduces the cost of production.

 

One possible illustration (one of many possible illustrations) of the above political/economic LAW concerns any device that produces more power than the power expended during its production.  

 

An example illustration that currently exists is the Solar Panel; therefore I’ll use the Solar Panel as the first illustration of the political/economic LAW (I call it Joe’s Law).

 

Again:

 

Joe’s Law:

Power produced into a state of oversupply reduces the price of power while purchasing power increases because power reduces the cost of production.

 

I can link to one solar panel producer claiming to offer a product that pays for itself in one year. That means that you buy the solar panel and one year later the solar panel produces enough electricity to pay for the solar panel.

 

Other solar panels are now sold with a 25 year guarantee of electric production.

 

Certainly the costs of solar panels are reducing while the output of solar panels is increasing so the above is meant to be a general current cost/benefit ratio.

 

Example:

 

1000 dollars is the cost of one solar panel.

 

The one solar panel produces 1000 dollars worth of electricity (at today’s prices) in one year.

 

The solar panel produces a total of 25,000 dollars worth of electricity (if the price of electricity stays the same) over 25 years time – guaranteed.

 

Look at Joe’s Law again (and you can improve the wording if you care to participate in this open source experiment):

 

Power produced into a state of oversupply reduces the price of power while purchasing power increases because power reduces the cost of production.

 

Now the idea is to illustrate how Joe’s Law works by cutting and pasting solar panels into the political economy.

 

Solar panels (power) produced into a state of oversupply reduces the price of solar panels while money (purchasing power) value increases because power reduces the cost of production.

 

The reason why the word “political” is employed into Joe’s Law should become obvious to the thinking reader. If, for example, you are going to enforce your patent laws then you may begin to understand why there is an enforcement currently being enforced on the production of each unit of legal money.

 

You cannot sit at home and manufacture dollars and get away with it for long.

 

Can you sit at home and manufacture solar panels and get away with it for long?

 

Now, before I leave this challenge up to you, I will illustrate how Joe’s Law works in reverse:

 

Power (oil) produced into a state of scarcity will increase the price of power (oil) while purchasing power decreases because power (oil) reduces the costs of production; and therefore everything made with oil will cost more to purchase.

 

The ball is in your court.
