Open Barter
A spot market for bartering measurable commodities like primary goods. It searches coincidence of wants among bids of participants and proposes the best economic opportunities.
It finds the exchange cycle (possibly more than two partners) that meets the best bids, finds a compromise between them, sharing equally the effort required for cooperation, and exchanges ownership between partners.
You are invited to experiment openBarter by asking for subscribtion. You will be able to use it after the approval of your subscription.
This service can be connected to wharehouses and monetary systems, since money is seen a measurable commodity.
The ratio ω defined by openBarter is the equivalent of a seller price on a regular market. It is the ratio between provided and requested quantities. The product of these ω called Ω measures the collective effort. It is used to find the cycle of bids with the lowest required collective effort.
openBarter fosters cooperation by finding agreements producing the weakest collective effort.
How agreements are created
Bids are made on commodities you own.
Two bids are coincident when commodity standard provided by one is required by the other. These coincidences can produce cycles that are possible agreement between partners. openBarter selects among these cycles the one the lowest required collective effort.
When the agreement created by the choosen cycle is accepted by partners, the ownership of corresponding commodity quantities are transferred from providers to beneficiaries.
this process is repeated until some cycles remain..
Invariability of quantities
The total quantity of commodities for each standard remains unchanged by this process.
