Automating Ostrom for Effective DAO Management Designing Cyber-Physical Commons to be ‘Ostrom Compliant’

A former student from my online cooperation course -- and recent patron -- sent me this. I really don't understand the DAO-blockchain part well. Do any of my patrons understand this better than I do? It certainly seems important. What I'd like to see would be some examples -- short use cases.

"This article is part of a series explaining the cyber-physical commons architecture that is being built out by the Commons Stack.

Few people have contributed as much to our knowledge of the sustainable management of the commons as Elinor Ostrom. Winning the 2009 Nobel Prize in Economics for her work, Ostrom’s 8 principles for commons stewardship have set a standard for community management of shared resources. These principles, collected over a lifetime of research into effective commons worldwide, are a fantastic look at large scale human collaboration outside of the corporation and the nation state. Although applying these rules at scale can be challenging, recent research suggests that blockchain technology may have a role to play in overcoming key obstacles, further enabling communities to manage themselves.¹ Elevating trust from the interpersonal to the protocol level opens up space for experimentation with new forms of collective action to achieve common goals."
