Can I sell things I cannot make with a computer?

Yes. Let's say you sculpt something. You publish a photograph or video clip of your work, along with some descriptive text, instead of the actual physical sculpture. When someone purchases it, you are sent a transaction receipt from the ThoughtShop that makes the sale. Included in this receipt is the home ThoughtShop of the purchaser. Your account is credited, and you ship the sculpture to the purchaser's home ThoughtShop. The ThoughtShop then ships it to the purchaser.

An important consequence of this setup is that you never know who exactly purchases your work. Only the purchaser's home ThoughtShop knows the address and name of the purchaser. You and the vendor ThoughtShop know only the purchaser's home ThoughtShop and the transaction number. This fact will become important as I explain the Nine Principles.


What are the Nine Principles?

   
         
     
please note: The word "Immuexa" was originally my name for what later became the World-Wide-Web. It's now the name of a company, not a network.

The software known here as "ThoughtShop" was originally called "Colony." The rights to the tradename "Colony" were sold in January 2000.
