| − | <onlyinclude>Our [[vision]] is to see the world, its inhabitants, and resources [[governance|governed]] by a global unified [[system]] having having the maximum peace and well-being of all inhabitants and the environment as its fundamental [[bottom line]]. This system [[evolution|evolves]] toward ever closer [[alignment]] with its bottom line by its architecture being [[Openness|open]] and by providing the ability for people to independently [[all aspects changeable|modify any aspect]] of it and assess the value of those modifications with respect to its bottom line.</onlyinclude>

| − | Such a conception of society follows the ''natural order''. In it the dominating power of finance is destroyed; and since money would be ''free'' and not ''negative'', debt would cease to exist. And with the disappearance of the debt would cease the centralisation of power which at present deprives men of their sovereignty.
