Assumptions of the Domestic Revolution

1. We are maintaining a liberal society where all members are enabled to develop to their full potential through availability of choice:
 * following principle 1a (fp1a) Options are available always. The option of leaving society is available. The option of mimimal input is available. The option of full participation is available. The cost of choice. The option of being a leach is not available.
 * (fp1ai) Physical boundaries enforce in or out. Either you're in or you're out.
 * (fp1ai.) Peripheral boundaries are not to be crossed.
 * (fp1ai..) Access points to the
 * (fp1ai..-) Soup kitchen
 * (fp1ai.._) Styles and gates
 * (up1ai..=) Locked gates
 * (fp1aii) Minimum input pays for **access** to minimum services and resources. Universal access provided to minimal services and resources that enable development of full potential. The individual may choose to not access these services and resources but does none-the-less have to contribute to their provision. The community's role is to enable independence and autonomy of the individual if that is their choice.
 * (fp1aii.) Set minimal standard input at 10 hours per week labour and daily check-in.
 * (fp1aii..) Community budget then optimised to produce minimal needs at minimal cost through efficiencies of scale, efficiencies of scope (multi-tasking and complementary functions) & specialised workrooms and tools. Protection from theft, fraud and other diseconomies of scale gained by maintaining stable population below [|Dunbar's number].
 * (fp1aii...) Minimal requirements of resiliant community ensure security of minimal services and resources in extreme events. Plan for a period of total self-reliance (3 years).
 * (fp1aii...-) Redundancy: Production of minimal services and resources greater than expected normal demand. Reserves kept in case of failure.
 * (fp1aii..._) Diversity: Alternative supply options are maintained. Alternative technologies practiced. Limits on office terms. Sister communities adopted.
 * (fp1aii...=) Adaptability. Alternatives explored to build and maintain networks, evaluation and response skills. Research undertaken. Self-provision **and** trade networks.
 * (fp1aiii) "Enabling the full participation for all" does acknowledge that there are those unable to, but it is a commitment to providing an inclusive environment where individuals are capable of making choices, contributing to the maintenance of the community and enjoying the benefits of being a member of the community. The community's role is to enable interdependence and involvement of the individual if that is their choice.

2. We are maintaining a liberal society where all members are enabled to develop to their full potential through the experience of a safe, rich environment and responsive and recipricol relationships as per Co-housing, Permaculture & Playcentre environments and Te Whariki.
 * (fp2a) Zones are used to differentiate levels of services and resources.
 * (fp2ai) Constant presence in Zone 1 - highest level of security, supervision and support. One-on-one for the very young or infirm. Emergency services. Minimal needs met for all - drinking water, healthy food, warmth, wash room, companionship, medical care, communications. Early childhood education standards met: capable of functioning as a ECE centre and nursing home (sources of funding). Baby animals & plant nursery. Playgrounds.
 * (fp2aii) Intensive Zone 2 - workrooms, intensive gardening, kitchen, bakery, swimming pool, bath house, hot house, store rooms, boiler, clotheslines. Potential hazards - electrics, extreme heat, water, tools: Constant supervision needed for young children but considered safe for >8 years to free range.
 * (fp2aiii) Zone 3 - Dirty/smelly/noisy zone - Domestic animals, fields, workshops (wood, metal, mill, cloth making), composting, waste sorting and recycling, laundry, sports courts, fermentation, distillation and fuel production. Potential hazards - machinery, dust, toxic chemicals. Supervision needed for children.
 * (fp2aiv) Zone 4 - Outer zone - Woodlots, grazing animals, orchards, feed storage, any streams/rivers/ponds. Potential hazards - water, animals, isolation. Supervision needed for children.
 * (fp2av) Zone 5 - Wild zone - Uncontrolled environment.
