This blog forms Part 2 of 2, analyzing the concepts of “User Defined Organization” and “Proof-of-Usage” as proposed by Wildland.

Stafford Beer articulated the “Viable System Model” (VSM) in his 1972 book ‘Brain of the Firm’ as a management tool to determine the viability of an organization.

Summary of a research sprint conducted by the governance research team at BlockScience on the project Wildland

Drawing on Stafford Beer’s Viable Systems Model, this research paper bridges DAOs & cybernetics via two main principles of organization: viability & purpose.
