::Well, we argue a lot about abstract terms here, for good reasons. We have to have an abstraction everywhere there's a choice. That's how coders think. So a [[Consumerium buying signal]] has an abstract name like "signal" since it might be [[print]], [[audio]], [[video]] displayed, compiled into a whole lot of such signals in a [[book]], or even be used to brief people walking around encouraging and helping people to buy only [[green light]] products, and etc. So there is clearly an abstract signal which shoves all these people towards one type of product and away from another - that's "[[moral purchasing power]]" and it will move them in a different direction than plain old [[advertising]]. We can justify the abstraction by the power it gives. | ::Well, we argue a lot about abstract terms here, for good reasons. We have to have an abstraction everywhere there's a choice.

:::Of your proposed signals, I prefer most your idea of compiling a whole lot of them in a book. That practice is sometimes referred to as [[aggregation]]. | |||
:::I found a technical paper on this at http://www.gsm.uci.edu/~bakos/aig/aig.html, and it is also the basis of my proposal that interested persons try to de-package (informationally, at least) what I term "package deals," also known as "bundles." | |||
:::<blockquote>There might be some interest in doing [[price premium]] comparisons automatically, say [[import]]ed [[transport|flying]] [[tomato]]es vs. nuclear [[greenhouse]] [[tomato]]es vs. [[renewable energy]] greenhouse [[tomato]]es</blockquote> | |||
:::I have a considerable amount of interest in the [[price premuim]] concept, since bundles of premiums are in effect what is offered in what you term a [[service economy]]. | |||
:::<blockquote>but we really don't want to get involved into price data security issues right now.</blockquote> | |||
:::I do, but that is pubwan, not consumerium. I must admit that I'm a little concerned that you see price data as a security issue. I view it as purely a [[transparency]] issue. It is my view that it is the many, not the few, who are [[stakeholder]]s in price data, in the aggregate. | |||
:::Pax, Lori ([[N8chz]]) | |||
::If you want the terminology, you may find [[Recyclopedia]] useful, as it has some subjects censored at [[Wikipedia]] that are essential to [[Consumerium]] and similar projects. | ::If you want the terminology, you may find [[Recyclopedia]] useful, as it has some subjects censored at [[Wikipedia]] that are essential to [[Consumerium]] and similar projects. | ||
