Physical replication falling in price => open source concepts start to leak into the physical realm.
(open source hardware OSHW)

Irreducible base cost

A main difference is that the prices can't drop as low as in the digital world. There is a hard to reduce cost for:

  • quick attainment of large amounts of raw materials
  • quick attainment of large amounts of energy

Both mostly determined on land.

This may effect the rate of replacement of large scale constructions such as the replacement of asphalt and concrete in Upgraded street infrastructure and the replacement of iron train tracks.

Compatibility

Open wrappers for closed products (in a general sense)

  • hardware adapters software adapter libraries
  • liberation from forced brand loyalty
  • example: Windows to Linux and others OS's by multi-plattform software
  • example: industrial robot wrapper project [todo: add link]

Entirely open whole system

  • no more individuals reinventing the wheel => accumulation of performance capability

Lifting of complementary blockades

  • proprietary good at: profitable luxury goods
  • free libre good at: non-profitable necessary goods

=> mutual motivation by (unexpected) competition (friendly or hostile)
