A commons in practice
Samaritan
Practical knowledge, tools, and local habits meant to leave this site, move between neighbors, and keep working without Casey at the centre.
The Compendium is the library. The commons begins when you carry something home.
Two doors
The first is the point. The second is there when the work needs another pair of hands.
Use it where you live
Read it, save it, print it, adapt it, teach it, or test it with a few people nearby. No account and no allegiance required.
Start with one local practice → Bring Casey when usefulPut experience beside the problem
When a guide is not enough, Casey's site holds the evidence, current work, and ways to engage him.
Meet the builder →Make people more capable, then release enough control for the practice to become theirs.
Sovereignty
Keep data, tools, and decisions close to the people whose lives they affect.
Practice
Try the method in a named place. Record what failed. Keep a path that works when the clever machinery does not.
Return
Carry the work away. Return a correction, a local version, or a failure report when you can. Check each work's license before copying code.

A draft field guide for neighbor contact, food exchange, human authority, and offline fallback.
local practice · draftSmall enough to belong somewhere
Possible directions stay local, explicit, and under human authority.
Neighbors
A consented contact tree, a map of tools and skills, or one recurring check-in can exist without a platform.
Food and crops
Share growing, preservation, and distribution knowledge with local conditions, food safety, consent, and refusal kept visible.
Isolated agent-assisted cells
A small local service may later help route offers, needs, or deliveries. It never decides who deserves food, and the practice must work offline.
