# Mycopunk Principles
1. 🌱 REGENERATIVE/REMEDIAL/POSITIVE SUM: First responder in ecosystem regeneration. Digests externally, producing materials for life to exist. Breaks down plastic, oil, hydrocarbons. Stimulates neuronal regrowth.
2. 🕸 NETWORKED/DISTRIBUTED/ANARCHIST: No central command. Local subsidiarity, problem solving at the edges.
3. 💪 ANTI-FRAGILE: Disturb a mycelial network, and it grows more dense.
4. 🌳 FRACTAL: Self-similar structures up & down.
5. 🤝 MUTUALIST/COOPERATIVE/INTEROPERABLE/COMPOSABLE: Interfaces intelligently with many different species with positive sum outcomes (most of the time - nature is also [brutal](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-this-zombie-fungus-turns-cicadas-into-horror-movie-sex-bots/)).
6. ⚛ STIGMERGIC/EMERGENT/ADAPTIVE: Responsive to their environment, constantly adapting new strategies, power sources (e.g. nuclear radiotrophic mushrooms)
7. 👩🔬 POLYCENTRIC: local contextual diversification/specialization as required. E.g. nearby penicillin factory for battling bacteria
8. 🤫 CONSOLIDATE POWER UNDERGROUND: power base established before presenting itself to the world
9. 🙇♂️ HUMBLE: Growing where nothing else will grow. On a pile of shit, out of sight, in the lowest of the low.
10. 🔁 REDISTRIBUTIVE: Effective resource allocation networks for getting nutrients around a network (water, carbon, antibacterial compounds, etc)
11. 🌊 CONTINUOUS FLOW: Persistent, circular flows. Not discrete. No hoarding.
12. 🕊 OPTIMISTIC: Building for a better future.
13. 🌍 UBIQUITOUS: Ever present, persistent. Ancient.
14. 🌐 MARGIN-CENTERED WISDOM: Edge-based sense & response mechanisms obviate the need for centralized hierarchies
