MicroValue

Value which exists, but which current instruments and mechanisms (the market for products, the valuation of companies, fixed-length academic courses) can't perceive or harvest. It occurs in too fine a granularity.

Pages relevant to MicroValue :

• LowRoad buildings : when you work in an area with fewer constraints beause no-one cares about the micro-value you're harvesting
• AgainstFinishedness / UnfinishedProjects : The cult of the finished creates the aliasing error that loses microvalue
• TheAgeOfAmateurs / AlternativesToCompanies : Amateur communities and ad-hoc networks may be able to survive and operate on microvalue that is too small for traditional companies. In doing so, it may disrupt the world for companies.
• MicroContent : Communities of amateurs will build around it.
• AcademiaVsNewMedia / SmallPiecesLooselyJoined / LinkingVsCiting : Academia has traditionally large quantums of value it recognises. Can it adapt to take advantage of a smaller granularity of research?
