Nature of Polyexistentials: Basis for Abolishment of the Western Intellectual Property Rights Regime And Introduction of the Libre-Halaal ByStar D - Paperback

by Mohsen Banan (Author)

In this book we analyze the topic of Intellectual Property Rights

(IPR) from a new perspective. The topic of restriction of polyexistentials and

Western IPR are one and the same. Yet, the concept of polyexistentials has not

appeared in prior discussions of this topic. This is the very first time that

the concept and the word "polyexistetials" are being introduced.

Knowledge, know-how, uses of know-how, ideas and information are inherently

non-scarce. They are polyexistentials. Unlike monoexistentials which exist in

singular, polyexistentials naturally exist in multiples and are inherently not

scarce. What is abundant in nature is being made artificially scarce through

man-made ownership rules called copyright and patents. These ownership rules

then permit a certain group which usually take the form of corporations to

economically profit from these unnatural and economically motivated artificial

scarcities. The model of polyexistence makes it easy to demonstrate that the

concept of Intellectual Property is invalid. This proof is based on logic that

is rooted in nature of existence and nature of possession and the requirement

for ownership to be in harmony with nature of possession and existence.

Having rejected the Western IPR regime as an erroneous model for govenrnance of

polyexistentials, we introduce the Libre-Halaal model of governance of

polyexistentials towards facilitating conviviality of tools. We then focus on

the digital world and introduce the The Libre-Halaal By* (ByStar) Digital

Ecosystem, as a moral alternative to the existing proprietary American digital

ecosystem.

Equipped with a multidisciplinary blueprint, we offer our initial

implementation of the ByStar digital ecosystem as a starting point towards

concrete solutions. Todays's American Internet is mostly a business construct.

The current basic model of Internet is rooted in the rise-of-the-middle model of

corporations exploiting the individual. The engineering architecture of the

proprietary internet application services is very central. Proprietary American

corporations the likes of Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft and Apple are

positioned in the middle and monitor, control and expolit citizens of the world.

The engineering architecture of Libre-Halaal ByStar Digital Ecosystem is

distinctly different. The multidisciplinary blue print that we have provided can

be the basis for de-Americanization, de-IPR-ization and redecentralization of

internet application services.

The existing capitalist model for monoexistentials is generally

correct, in both philosophical and economic terms. But the extension of the

monoexistential capitalist model into the domain of polyexistentials, based on

the Western IPR regime, is a grave mistake. To address this mistake of American

Capitalism, we introduce the model of Global Polyexistential Capitalism as an

Attribution Based Economy towards correcting the existing IPR rooted Ownership

Based Economy of American Capitalism. Deep understanding of the strategy that we

outline in this book, makes it clear that Polyexistential American Capitalism is

very vulnerable.

Our ultimate goal for all of this has been to influence

societal policies towards adoption of halaal mannerof-existence of

polyexistentials. We recognize that adoption of such societal policies in

America is likely not possible and their adoption in the West is likely very

difficult. Therefore, we focus on Eastern societies in general and Iran and

China in particular. It is only through full rejection of Western IPR regime and

its deep roots in Americanism that humanity can be rescued.
