Tony:
I believe that a great deal of software (and other system components) has
been developed based on LO principles. The problem with seeing is that it
doesn't come in a single box. Instead it involves many, many components
that, taken together, form a system of truly global proportions: the
world wide web. The entire world wide web is a complex adaptive system
(that is to say, it continuously learns and adapts based on what it learns
from interacting with its environment) of software, hardware, netware and
"wetware". The web isn't just a system, it is a form of organization unto
itself. If you have an interest in pursuing these (radical?) ideas, I've
written a short proposal here:

On a slightly smaller scale, several acquaintances have developed an
electronically mediated environment designed to facilitate the emergence
and development of intellectual property. You can find out more here:
