I think I'm on it. I'm identifying a pattern for the development of ecosystemic strategies based on 6 layers:
1. an open protocol (domain model) that abstracts the domain of the interactions, the entities, the workflows and the transactions;

2. a shared infrastructure for transparent and untamperable data persistence of informational and financial transactions;

3. a set of network enablement services provided to all members of the network including a full-stack software architecture to allow the development of commercial initiatives such as SaaS, marketplaces, plug-ins, and more;

4. a governance structure, aimed at creating the possibility for institutions, and organizations of all kinds, to participate in the production, evolution & governance of the 3 layers described above (the protocol, the shared infrastructure, and the network enablement services).

5. a Workflow (product) and Extensions layer, where a set of use cases will be made available to end users and extensions can be built by third parties;

6. a Services Marketplace layer where the connection between different players be can be facilitated.

essentially, the *network* will need to own, produce and govern layers 1-4 with the aim of ensuring permissionlessness, and interface openness. Layers 1-4 (ecosystemic commons) will likely be subject to a "progressive decentralization" pattern.

The governing alliance will need to issue tokens to ensure that (1) decisions can be made based on contribution (2) the underlying protocol/info network (that will be based on the shared domain-model) can be produced maintaining consensus (eg: with staking/validation nodes.

layer 5 + 6 can be left to competing, revenue-maximizing entities: likely multiple user experiences will be developed and aggregation can create defensibilities at that layer (through network effects)

wondering what @cdixon @packyM @mbauwens @jessewldn @ntnsndr @jeffemmett think about it
