Imagine if we could control all the basic economic and political functions using one simple interface — a platform that ensures no one is economically exploited or politically disenfranchised. Built and operated collectively on secure, co-owned infrastructure.

This is the vision behind Coexist.

In short, it's a blueprint for maximizing human well-being within planetary boundaries. Coupling free market economy and democratic governance with the internet age. And it's not just a vision — it's already being built on biodemocracy.org.

What makes it possible is science. By studying economic and political activity through the lens of natural and formal sciences, the book Coexist by Jon Sundell uncovers the fundamental building blocks of our society and its institutions. The economy, at its core, is simply a set of metabolic processes operating at various scales. As in all living organisms, societal metabolism consists of both anabolic and catabolic flows. Production is anabolic. Consumption is catabolic. When we internalise its nature this way, the workings of the economy become much easier to grasp, and can be boiled down to a dashboard we all can use to co-organise our lives.
