IP Address And MAC Address And Money

I previously wrote in this blog about IP address here and here and touched on it in several other blog entries.

I previously wrote about MAC addresses in this blog.

Wikipedia explains IP address and it explains MAC address.  There are standards that define each protocol.  IP protocol here and Mac protocol here.

This explains the relationship between IP and MAC addresses in a computer network.

MAC vs. IP Addressing
Whereas MAC addressing works at the data link layer, IP addressing functions at the network layer (layer 3). It's a slight oversimplification, but one can think of IP addressing as supporting the software implementation and MAC addresses as supporting the hardware implementation of the network stack. The MAC address generally remains fixed and follows the network device, but the IP address changes as the network device moves from one network to another. IP networks maintain a mapping between the IP address of a device and its MAC address. This mapping is known as the ARP cache or ARP table. ARP, the Address Resolution Protocol, supports the logic for obtaining this mapping and keeping the cache up to date.
DHCP also usually relies on MAC addresses to manage the unique assignment of IP addresses to devices. 

A computer network system is perhaps the best model upon which to build a monetary system.  It is in fact what my model for digital serialized dollars is based on but I have not previously specifically said that in this blog.  I have only blogged about various methodologies like object oriented and information structures and functions in the Computer/Information domain.

More exact comparisons between the existing Technology system and the structure of my proposed monetary model can be made to not only explain it in terms of computing technology but to apply the high level architectural design model of computer systems to the monetary system.  The more I look at it the more the shoe fits!

The monetary system currently exists on top of the computer system. However the structure and application of the computer model and extension of its rigorous integrated logic to the highest level of the monetary system the logic crashes into a brick wall where the logic of an illogical monetary system begins.

This is why the monetary system is failing:  Essentially, the current monetary system uses the computer system only to the extent that it serves the purpose of the monetary system dominated by banks.  Beyond that banks must impose their own "System Logic" (which is not logical nor rational) for high level structure and implementation.  Computers systems are based on even higher level models like mathematics. Banks are also users of match and stop its logical structure and application at a brick wall to impose their own logic.  For example the math logic of geometric progression.

A system designed to fail, will fail.  The debt money banking monetary system is failing.

I have attempted in this blog to discover what money is and what money does.  The two big questions.  My attempt at explanation has been empirical like Darwin looking at nature comprehending its logic and figuring out the rules of evolution that apply the rules to process.  The natural system is better organized and integrated from bottom to top and top to bottom than the monetary system!  There is no end to try to figure it out.  It is simply illogical and must be restructured.

The best model for compete and fundamental restructuring the monetary system right under (or in front of) our noses.  Information technology.  The same technology the built the hardware and software structure of our computer based Information Systems today.

It is therefore easier for me to comprehend and explain my proposed digital dollar debt free monetary system in terms of the structure of our Information System.  It is this same system in which all applications operate.  Fundamentally they all operate on and in the same Operating System.  The only problem is that the concept of Operating System emerged from narrow definition as applied to computers.  However its generic meaning is much broader today to a higher level of information structure today.

We all live in a Yellow Object System!  Money must live in that system too, otherwise it is a fungus vampire that feeds upon it by extraction through a system that is not logical, rational in design and therefore destructive and dysfunctional in application.

Why anyone that professes to be a Information Systems Engineer cannot clearly see the obvious failure of the debt money banking system is beyond me.   They should be the first and foremost in proclaiming that the king has no clothes.

I am not an information architect.  I understand object oriented concepts and the general structure of our information model.  I just wander in the woods and occasionally climb a tree to the moon to get some better view and understanding from the top of a tree.  I use words and concepts in this blog that I really only have a shallow knowledge of but feel that my intuition tells me are fundamentally correct.  Pretty much my same idea of life.

MAC and IP might be the best model to use in order to explain my concepts of serialized digital dollars.  They are equivalently the same objects in the information system world.

Money is just information used as a social media decision making tool.   It is (should be) just another problem domain round peg that fits the greater and higher level domain in which similar problems find common "look alike" solutions.  They "look alike" because they are all Children of the same higher level Parent Class inheriting all the attributes and behavior of that Parent Class.

The highest level Parent Class?  It is Logic. Logic existing in a three part relationship of Logic, Language and Structure.  Our Information System computer based society is based on this.  It is our general purpose problem domain solution tool.  One of the last things it will solve is Money.

In conclusion:  I will attempt in subsequent blog entries to express my concepts for a debt free monetary system in terms of our broad design and application of modern computer based technology.  As usual I will often digress when the fishing is better or at least more interesting elsewhere but always fishing out of the same big ocean where everything is related to what I seek in some way.
