Summary
Tracheopteryx is the founder of Coordinape, the intersubjective coordination tool. Coordinape allows DAO contributors to collectively reward each other as an alternate—and more elegant—means of compensating work & value.
Trach has been on a podcast circuit lately, cruising through big cerebral topics orbiting DAO coordination and biomimicry.—addressing technology and civilization from a biological perspective is underrated.
How do we shift from a ‘command & control’ approach to ‘sense & respond’? How can we take lessons from nature and plug them into novel systems powered by technology?

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Layers0. Layers0 is a podcast of unscripted conversations with the people that |
| 0:11.5 | make up the Ethereum community. Crypto is built by code but is composed by people, and |
| 0:15.6 | each individual member of the crypto community has their own story to tell. |
| 0:19.3 | CypherPunks understood that the code they write impacts the people that use it, and |
| 0:22.5 | Layers0 focuses on the people behind the code, because Ethereum is people all the way down, |
| 0:26.6 | and it always has been. |
| 0:28.0 | Today on Layers0, I'm talking with Tricky Optrix. |
| 0:30.5 | He has been on a number of podcasts, talking about very big cerebral topics about Dows, |
| 0:37.2 | Dow coordination, how Dow coordination mimics nature, and this is all stuff that just really |
| 0:43.4 | gets my mind going, and I just love all of these very just like far out subjects, as |
| 0:47.5 | you can tell if you've been listening to the Layers0 podcast. |
| 0:50.2 | So we talk about how one of the most underappreciated lens for viewing this crypto industry |
| 0:55.5 | is one of biology, how Dows will have biomimicry in their organizational structure, and |
| 1:01.4 | how computers will become part of humans as we know, like we're building out AI, but |
| 1:06.3 | it's not going to be external to us, it's going to be a part of us, like our Dows. |
| 1:11.0 | And so we are just creating these technologically enabled futures, these technologically enabled |
| 1:15.5 | humans with AI, but also with Dows, and Dows being one of these stories. |
| 1:20.0 | We talk about how Dows can help change society from being one of command and control |
| 1:26.0 | to one of being sense and respond. |
| 1:28.6 | And how does that change culture when our organizations, our institutions don't have |
| 1:33.0 | this scarcity mentality of resource competition, but instead have this competition of how best |
| 1:39.3 | can they sense the needs of their constituents and respond to the needs of their constituents |
