An Inquiry into the Decentralization & Localization of Infrastructure


Abstract: Various shortcomings can be observed through the centralization of societal infrastructure, governance, and other sectors. Additionally, globalization has left much of civlization extremely vulnerable to potential planetary disasters, including that of accelerating climatic instability. With reliance of fragile supply lines as a means of survival, modern human civilization lives quite literally on a knife's edge as probabilities work against it over time. Thus, through an inquiry into decentralized localization, one can find the necessary innovations in various sectors to establish civilization based off a fractal in which all pieces of said civilization are self sufficient & sustainable.


Introduction

To begin, a few terms and concepts need to be presented prior to introducing the main content of this paper. The terms that will be defined & explained in the context within this paper are as follows: infrastructure, fractalized sustainability, localization, and globalization. For the purposes of this paper, the definitions and explanations offered below will set up the fundamental basis of the underlying research.


Infrastructure - the underlying foundation or framework consisting of the public works of a civilization (1,2)


Within the confines of this paper, infrastructure will be referred to extensively as a broad, inclusive summary of the foundational components that make an advanced, technologically sound civilization functional including, but not limited to, specifics such as telecommunication grids, energy grids, water systems, internet technologies (including computing technologies & blockchain technologies), agriculture systems, and supply chain systems.


Fractal Sustainability - a novel concept derived from the mathematical notion of fractals for the purpose of being utilized to initiate sustainability that is self repeating through infinite complexity (i.e. from the individual level to the multi-planetary level and beyond) to achieve maximal societal durability

  • Fractal - a infinitely complex, self repeating, mathematical pattern found throughout the observable universe (3,4,5)


Mathematical representations of the Mandelbrot set (4)


  • Sustainability - a premise of development in which the needs met in the present do not compromise the needs of the future (6,7)

To achieve a sufficient understanding of the research & concepts being here, this concept is immensely important to understand. Fractals are found all throughout nature & the universe and more or less appear to be representative of the structure of the universe itself, per new breakthroughs in quantum physics (8,9). Regardless, fractals are extremely prevalent in a number of different areas within human development, including mathematics, engineering, and computing (3).

With a high number of occurrences throughout nature, a remodeling of the concept can be utilized in the form of applying the self repeating pattern to a model of sustainability within the infrastructure of our civilization to promote a highly durable, decentralized civilization with no central points of failure, similar to that of decentralized blockchain networks.


Localization - a process of organization within a confined area or region in which self dependency & sufficiency is dominant (11,12)


In terms of societal organization, localization is precisely what it sounds like - a level of organization in which an area or region is developed in a way to achieve self dependency & sufficiency. This sufficiency can be achieved regardless of the existence of other similar areas or regions. Effectively, localization allows an area or region to achieve sustainability within the confines of where it resides without outside assistance.


Globalization - a process of organization in which interdependency amongst many regions across the planet is required for sufficiency (13,14)


Opposite of localization, globalization is the process of societal organization in which many areas or regions rely on interdependency between one another to achieve a state of sufficiency. Stability & prosperity or each area or region is interdependent on the stability & prosperity of all regions included. Our current civilization is built and sustained through the concept of globalization.


Transforming Civilization from a Centralized Globalization Model (CGM) to a Decentralized Localization Model (DLM)


Humanity achieved a level of globalization prior to achieving sustainability. Thus, our global civilization is interdependent whilst being completely unsustainable. This is a recipe for catastrophic collapse should a correction not be initiated. When one hits a dead end, the most obvious correction to employ to undue the mistake is to simply go back. "Going back" in this instance would be that of a transformation to a DLM to correct the fundamental weakness of modern civilization's unsustainable interdependence. This decentralization & localization must occur in key infrastructure to achieve sustainability before an attempt at globalization is made again in the future. This will be explained in detail in the sections ahead.


Rebuilding of Civilization on Our Terms

Should society act swiftly, the possibilities of rebuilding civilization back to its current status through sustainable methods is achievable in just a few generations. This will require innovation in a number of areas of which can be funded through the likes of the cryptoeconomy - a growing decentralized financial medium free from governmental control. By using the concept of fractal sustainability, this can be achieved in local communities quite literally household to household through the decentralization & upgrade of communications infrastructure, internet infrastructure, establishing a new fractal-based, highly shielded energy grid, decentralizing food production & water collection, and investing in novel concepts within free energy production & resource extraction.

Decentralization of Communications & Internet

With the observed unpredictability in current climate conditions, humanity must retain the ability to collaborate & communicate with one another in the event of a planetary disturbance. Currently, communications & internet infrastructure is under substantial risk from the complex factors associated with this observed climate unpredictability (15,16,17,18). In the United States (37.0902° N, 95.7129° W), along the east coast resides thousands of miles of fiber optic cable that is projected, with a high degree of certainty, to be underwater within the next 15 years. This would cause catastrophic damage to internet infrastructure in the effected areas (17,18). The most susceptible cities to such damage to internet infrastructure include New York City (Northeast), Miami (Southeast), and Seattle (Northwest), though this list is by no means a full observation of the United States.



University of Wisconsin - Climate risk to NYC fiber optic lines & nodes (16)

Risks associated to internet & communications infrastructure stem from sea level rise, higher occurrences of torrential precipitation over land, and more powerful tropical cyclones (TCs) - all consequences of observed climatic unstability (16,17). Additionally, the vulnerability of centralized data centers puts a substantial amount of humanity's collected data & knowledge at major risk from flooding (19). Risks associated to large swathes of internet & telecommunications infrastructure puts the entire system at risk even from only a partial disruption or loss of infrastructure due to the possibility of overload from an unsustainable amount of rerouted traffic (15,16).

Proposals have been made to add resiliency to communications & internet data systems. One such proposal is the use of microwave communications powered by microgrid technology to offset potential disruptions or failures to localized internet & communications infrastructure (18,20,21). While this offsets potential disruptions on the local level, it does not add resiliency nor decentralization in the way that many have been advocating for, particularly with the emergence of Web3.0 (the third iteration of the internet).

Internet service providers (ISPs) would still primarily hold control, and thereby responsible for, the management, protection, and subsequent upgrade of all associated internet infrastructure to counteract the accelerating rate climate instability. This demonstrates the massive compromisability of ISPs creating centralized points of failure for worldwide internet infrastructure due to malicious activity or through permanent climate-related damages.


Nexus (NXS) Protocol for Internet Decentralization, Accessibility, & Resiliency

This is where the innovative & fast moving nature of the cryptoeconomy gets profoundly interesting. A major problem within blockchain (a form of decentralized, verifiable database that links information into digital blocks and to create a chain over time) & corresponding Web3.0 development is finding a suitable alternative to traditional, centralized ISPs.

Nexus Protocol aims to provide a decentralized routing services for users to bypass traditional ISPs and is "driven by a security focused operating system (LX-OS), utilizing the immutability of Nexus to verify it’s internal states, making it resistant to most known operating system level exploits" (22,23). To achieve this, Nexus Protocol aims to establish a robust network built up from a combination of tokenized micro-satellites & ground stations, similar to Elon Musk's Starlink (but decentralized).

The micro-satellites are to be launched into low Earth orbit and run the Nexus Protocol operating system. The ground stations are established through phased array antennas, which are "electrically steered and are capable of realizing high gains and mobility" (23). These antennas may be installed on top of buildings or vehicles, and "connect to transceivers on the 5.8 GHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific, Medical) band, commonly used in Wi-Fi routers", per the Nexus Protocol website (23).

A successful implementation of such a technology would allow participants on the network to effectively own the infrastructure itself that enables this decentralized internet. Through the establishment of ground stations connected to a network of micro-satellites orbiting the Earth, the infrastructure would be protected from the fallout of abrupt climate change. This offers a solution to the problem of future flooding due to sea level rise that is projected to effect thousands of miles of fiber optic cables, data centers, and existing nodes that power the internet currently (15,16). Ground stations could be adjusted & moved accordingly and the infrastructure itself would be decentralized, accessible to local communities within our new localization model, and be resilient to extreme weather changes (22,23,24,27).


Blockstream for Bitcoin Resiliency to Internet ISPs

A glaring problem with Bitcoin (the leading decentralized cryptocurrency, i.e. a means of digital exchange; part of the cryptoeconomy) is that it has a notable dependency on centralized ISPs for most of its users (26). As supposedly one of the most decentralized protocols to exist, this is a major shortcoming. To counteract this and ensure the resiliency of the Bitcoin blockchain, Blockstream, a blockchain technology organization, is in the process of creating a satellite system for the Bitcoin network that enables users to bypass traditional ISPs (25).

A current flaw of the Bitcoin network is that potential users without a stable, reliable, or uncensored internet connection cannot access Bitcoin to send transactions on the blockchain. While their wallet addresses may receive Bitcoin even if the user is offline, transactions cannot be sent outside of utilizing an ISP. Blockstream has created an alternative. Through sophisticated satellite infrastructure similar to what the Nexus Protocol is proposing, Blockstream allows Bitcoin users around the world to utilize Bitcoin free of an internet connection through one of their satellite kits anywhere on the planet (25).


Decentralization of the Energy Grid

A massive vulnerability of our modern civilization lies within the dependency on an aging energy grid (28,29,30,31). The centralized nature of our current energy grids means that large scale outages could effectively put stress on the entire system and lead to prolonged or permanent shutdowns from both climate-related fallout and geomagnetic superstorms originating from space (i.e. major solar flares) (29,30). The North American energy grid was constructed decades ago and has not been properly updated since, leaving it especially vulnerable to such disasters. This is a massive problem as everything within our current civilization relies on the stability of the energy grid, including internet infrastructure and blockchain protocols.

It should also be noted that civilization's heavy reliance on such a grid creates a massive vulnerability in and of itself as knowledge increases about the cyclical nature of space weather with particular attention paid to solar storms. Nonetheless, for the basis of this paper, the primary focus will remain on the upgrade & decentralization of such an energy grid.


USGS Power Grid Vulnerability Assessment (30)

A recent example of this vulnerability can be found in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida - one of the most powerful TCs to ever make landfall over the continental United States (32). The largest utility provider in the state of Louisiana (30.9843° N, 91.9623° W) has revealed it sustained 'catastrophic damage' to its infrastructure due to the storm, leaving more than 1 million residents without power (33) whilst in the onslaught of yet another extreme heat wave.



The damage from such a storm now extends far, far beyond the coastlines due to the properties of immense, rapid intensification and the ability to for storms to hold considerably more precipitation. This leads to extreme precipitation events far inland - something that is becoming rapidly more common as abrupt climate change continues to plow forward at an unbelievable rate.


Projected participation over northeastern US (48)

Decentralization of the energy grid is essential for achieving sustainability within a DLM as well as improving the resiliency of modern, technologically-dependent human civilization in general. Through an initiation of local development, an energy grid can be assembled that is completely resilient to climate-related fallout as, without major centralized points of failure, it would not be at risk from a regional or global level due to sea level rise, extreme precipitation events, heat waves, tropical cyclones, and more stemming from accelerating climate instability. Additionally, by localizing & decentralizing energy infrastructure, the need for thousands of miles of electric cables & subsequent transformers, power plants, and other pieces of infrastructure would not be needed either on the level that they are required now, helping to eradicate power losses even from major weather events like Hurricane Ida.


Microgrids & Autonomous Energy Systems

A microgrid is generally understood as a localized energy grid which can be disconnected from the traditional, main energy grid & operate under complete anonymity (34). Microgrids offer resiliency through localization due to the ability to run anonymously, which helps them directly counter any damages from any extreme weather events outlined above. A number of organizations within the United States have outlined the potential significance microgrids may hold to improving resiliency & security as the risks to traditional energy systems continue to grow. These organizations include the Department of Energy (DoE), the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC), and lastly the US Department of Defense (DoD) through the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) & United States Marine Corps (35,36,37).


Microgrids Diagram (35)

An additional component alongside microgrids is the concept of autonomous energy systems. These systems allow for the scaling of decentralized, democratized microgrids to be scaled infinitely as a form of energy system fractal (39,3,4,5) . Autonomy within electrical systems allows the system to respond to demand shifts, weather events, and other disruptions with extreme speed, flexibility, and accuracy. Because of this, the energy grid itself can be scaled from tens to hundreds to even millions of devices without compromising the ability of the system to function effectively (39). This would also allow for tremendous savings in energy costs due to the robust efficiency of such an autonomous system.


NREL - Diagram depicting the scalability of an AES (39)

The scalability of such a system would be precisely the way in which a successful implementation of a localization model could then, over time, be scaled up back to a new form of globalization without compromising efficiency, resiliency, or sustainability of our civilization. Additionally, it would allow for the construction of a democratized, decentralized society in which the means of energy production are held by local communities and individuals rather than by centralized entities.


Powering Localized Microgrids & Autonomous Energy Systems (AES)

In the past, the main driver of microgrids has effectively been powered through fossil fuels. However, the use of clean energy sources is essential to the success of local communities achieving environmental sustainability - the overarching key to ensuring the longevity of civilization. The largest renewable sources of energy within the United States are as follows: hydroelectric (6.5%), wind (5.6%), biomass (1.5%), solar (0.9%) & geothermal (0.4%) for a total of 15% of electricity generation based on 2016 estimates (38).

Here is where renewables become problematic. First off, the high cost in terms of emissions & environmental impact to produce things like solar panels & wind turbines immediately puts these sources at a disadvantage, even if the costs associated with the production of such infrastructure have diminished (40,45). This is also the case for hydroelectric dams as they can cause permanent damage to vital ecosystems (41). Another problem of renewables is effective energy storage which would require the production of batteries or storage units that would allow for the continuous flow of uninterrupted power regardless of the time of day (45).

With these issues in mind, it is still important to note that investing solely into renewables would still alleviate the immense pressures on the biosphere from continuous releases of GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions stemming from the traditional uses of coal, oil, & gas.


Strata Solar / North Carolina Public Radio (47)

The best solution to counter the high emissions associated with production of renewable energy infrastructure is to slow down or diminish our demand for energy as a whole, if only temporarily. Through localization, this could in fact happen naturally. Less energy would be required as national and global supply chains would be shut down or diminished (42,43,44).

Without these massive supply chains, the demand for fuel, energy, and subsequent carbon emissions associated with the global trade system would disappear or be diminished exponentially. Additional carbon emission reductions can be found in innovative technologies to improve the efficiency of renewable systems, microgrids, and autonomous energy system with respect to production and energy storage capabilities (45,46). Thus, the high carbon cost of investing in, and producing, renewable energy infrastructure would be offset and sustainability can be achieved.


Decentralization of Agriculture & Water Collection Systems

A prominent piece of the localization model is the concept of decentralized agriculture. This would allow local communities to produce their own food, enabling the establishment of self sufficiency necessary for long term success (49,50,51). This is just one of several factors that would also lessen the usage and stress on global supply chains. With a move away from capitalism & corporatism economic models, the new extensive demand for individuals needed to manage these local agricultural hubs would offset any negative effects of high unemployment. This would also require a switch back to local crops & foods depending on where a community is located in the world (43,44) and significantly less meat consumption, if any at all. Meat production would have to come from localized livestock harvests based on the discretion of individual communities.



Powering Gardens with Solar Panels

The decentralization of agriculture within a community would mirror a structure similar to that of a decentralized blockchain interface. This would involve transforming traditional households and properties to sustain crops & agriculture as well as include the potential construction of community farms (49,50,51). Not only would this supply an ample amount of work to local communities (to replace traditional employment that would end with the subsequent end of globalization, consumerism, and corporatism), but it would also allow humanity to re-learn the necessary skills for long term survival & prosperity in the event of a planetary disruption such as a coronal mass ejection (i.e. solar storm).

Households could be repurposed to include the necessary spaces for indoor or outdoor gardens & farms, achieving a level of self sufficiency necessary to employ the fractal-based localization model necessary for achieving systemic sustainability (52,53). Within cities or urban areas, apartment or condo dwellers could transform balconies to include small, personalized gardens & coordinate on rooftops to build community gardens, effectively decentralizing a large portion of food production (54).



Individual Urban Balconies for Garden Use (54)


For those without access to a balcony or rooftop within urban areas, the construction of indoor vertical farms could help cities remain suitable for human life and push them closer to achieving sustainability, especially within regions that experience persistent, cold weather or even to protect crop yields from the elements of abrupt climate change (54,55,56,57).


Example of a vertical farm in Singapore (61)

Water Collection Systems

This new agriculture production, both urban and rural, can be sustained through decentralized water collection systems to take advantage of extreme precipitation events resulting from abrupt climate change (59). The design and nature of such systems would depend on the precise locations of varying localized communities. For urban communities, this would more than likely require collaboration amongst active participants to ensure the proper design, construction, and utilization of water collection systems.

By combining the last few sections, including the decentralization & democratization of communications, internet, energy, and agricultural infrastructure, localized communities can effectively achieve self dependency, efficiency, and sustainability on a level not seen within modern human civilization to date. Combining these elements with the information presented in the first three papers of Advancing Humanity, these steps will provide our civilization with enough time & freed up resources to pursue novel innovations necessary to achieve sustainable globalization (and planetary colonization).

This brings us to the final two sections of this paper.


Investing in Novel Innovations, Inquiries, Technologies, & Research

With a successful mitigation unsustainable production, a stoppage of global exploitation of ecosystems (with particular attention to reversing deforestation), and the successful adoption of the crytoeconomy, the above sections of innovation can be implemented successfully to eradictate previous shortcomings and establish resiliency within human civilization. Alongside the implementation of fractal sustainability within a DLM and the complete suspension of tradtional economics, remaining resources should be funneled into the research & production of novel scientific inquiry.

This research should be directed at improving our understanding of the functionality of the universe, exploring free energy devices, and planning resource extraction from celestial objects to replace exploitation of the biosphere. There have been many novel breakthroughs with the emergence and study of quantum mechanics that point to opportunities for new energy extraction and confirm the findings of master inventor Nikola Tesla in the early 1900s, now well over a century ago.


Nikola Tesla, The Great Pyramid, & Concepts of Free Energy

Nikola Tesla made numerous breakthroughs in the realm of science & technology through an intricate study of energy, frequency, and vibrations visible within the confines of our universe. Through a study of mathematics and geometry, Nikola Tesla made numerous successful attempts at free energy device concepts of which his most famous being the development of the Tesla coil. The Tesla coil was modeled after the mathematical, astronomical, and geometrical calculations found within the Great Pyramid (62,63,64). This is demonstrated through Tesla's 1905 patent filed with the US Government titled "Art of transmitting electrical energy through the natural mediums" (65).

There have been numerous modern inquiries into the possibility of the Great Pyramid being a form of power plant that tapped directly into the geo-hydro-thermal activity of the Earth. This is also demonstrated through the structure being made entirely of superconductive materials suitable for generating piezo electricity (due to high levels of quartz crystal within the stones) (63,64). There is a substantial amount of evidence supporting this claim. Other such examples include the existence of massive 100 ton granite boxes that could be suitable as capacitors or batteries, and the fact that the pyramid itself is located geographically on a point in which the electromagnetic forces of the Earth are substantially elevated (pointing to the possibility that the specific location of the Great Pyramid was chosen deliberately) (63,64).


First image: Diagram of the Inside of the Great Pyramid (63) Second image: Artist depiction of what Giza looked like thousands of years ago (source unknown)


With a gold tip at the top of the Great Pyramid (as researchers have suggested did exist at one point), it would have sufficiently turned the entire structure into a supermassive conductor with the ability to shoot energy high into the ionosphere and around the planet itself. Then, transceivers in the form of ground stations could be utilized to tap into this energy, effectively creating a wireless form of free energy thousands of years before the concept was thought to have been even remotely possible.

Whether this theory is factual or not is a subject for another paper. Regardless, the premise of this idea is precisely what Nikola Tesla designed his Tesla Coil on - and it actually worked. Nikola Tesla was able to transmit millions of volts of electricity through his own tower in 1903 directly into the atmosphere, and he was able to transfer that power to rods placed in the ground, effectively creating wireless energy.


Nikola Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower (83)

While Tesla was able to successfully accomplish this over a century ago, the development of such a technology was never funded and therefore was never utilized. Nikola Tesla received his original funding for the experiment from major capitalist and tycoon J.P. Morgan (66,67). With the successful demonstration of his wireless energy device, Morgan pulled funding as to protect his own interests due to the inability to make profit off free energy. With the subsequent defunding of the project, it was never used.


Advancements in Quantum Physics

With the discovery of quantum fluctuations, combined with the notions of Einstein's theory of relativity (68), Buckminster Fuller's synergetics (69), the understanding of superposition (70), and the novel work completed by Max Planck's discovery of the planck scale (71), there is now a substantial understanding of the concept of the vacuum of space and how the notion of 'empty space' within this vacuum is incorrect. This notion has been proven to be incorrect through various studies within quantum physics, most recently in Nassim Haramein's works with the proton particle (72).

It is now understood that there is nearly an infinite amount of energy within the vacuum of space (73,74). Thus, with the ability to simply tap into this quantum field, there exists enough energy to power all of human civilization millions of times over (74). Inquiries are beginning to be made within this discovery as to how to access and use such an energy. Concepts within nanotechnology & quantum mechanics suggest that, given enough time, novel devices can be orchestrated based on these discoveries that would allow the development of free energy devices (75).

As demonstrated in the severing of funding from J.P. Morgan to power Nikola Tesla's inventions, the current economic system utilized by humanity will more than likely not explore the concepts of free energy due to the lack of profit incentives. However, through a change in humanity's worldview, understanding of reality, and thorough inquiry into the nature of catastrophic planetary events, motivation to expand research into these fields is possible.


Using Advances in Free Energy to Derive Space Exploration & Asteroid Mining

With advancements in the the concepts of free energy, this could allow humanity to alleviate stresses on the biosphere and place mining & resource extraction in space, away from the planet. This could come in the form of asteroid mining, a concept becoming increasingly more popular with the reinvigoration of space travel. Space mining would allow us to move harmful operations off-world, effectively allowing the Earth to become a harmonious garden (77,78).

Nature / Maciej Rębisz (80)

Currently, without the concept of free energy, simply getting to space is notoriously expensive and wasteful in both financial and carbon terms. It is even more expensive to make feeble attempts at getting to Mars. However, with the successes of SpaceX, a change in visionary goals could allow for the short term exploration and resource extraction of nearby celestial objects by creating a permanent launch point & forward operating base on the Moon (79,80,81).

Establishing a Moon base would significantly decrease the costs of space launches, give humanity a starting point to find & mine celestial objects, and allow us to reduce the costs of getting to Mars substantially sometime in the future. This would effectively allow humanity to begin moving resource extraction operations off world for significantly lower environmental costs whilst awaiting breakthroughs within quantum physics and free energy generation.


Conclusion

Through a comprehensive combination of all the concepts that have been introduced and discussed in these first four papers, we can now derive the premise of the fractal civilization. This term refers to the fractal nature of the civilization generating sustainability from the individual level to the global level and beyond. Through this fractal localization and reallocation of resources, new inquiries can be made into the concepts of free energy available within the laws of quantum physics of which we now know exist, all while slowing ensuring the continuity of human knowledge, progress, and conscious expansion.

To achieve this, time is required to initiate transformational innovation of all major sectors within civilization. A fractal civilization, given enough time & energy, could evolve into an immense, continuous utopia that is inclusive of all human beings, sustainable for thousands of generations, and scalable in a way to allow humanity to evolve into a true planetary & multi-planetary species. Having the ability to weather even the most extreme of planetary disasters will allow humanity to thrive undisturbed even through seemingly rare, but statstically predictable, catastrophes.
