Book excerpt: This publication is the System Overview for a community-type society -- this is the system overview for a proposed societal system of the type, ‘community’. This publication details an overview of the proposed type of society, as well as, an overview of the project to develop and operate said society. This overview identifies how humanity may organize information at a high-level, in order to structure its adaptation to a dynamic, emergent environment where humans physically interact together, and therein, have common human needs with the potential for fulfillment. It provides high-level models and relatable descriptions of the proposed community-type societal organization. It further includes a high-level explanation for the organized understanding of community at the societal scale. This overview document is necessary for social understanding, and it specifies, (1) the project to bring into existence and operate a community-type society, (2) a treatise on community as a type of society (i.e., community is a type of configuration of a societal system), (3) a high-level, unified model for the organization of societal information, in such a way as to sustain human fulfillment, and (4) a set of high-level overview models that visualize the structural formation of community, for society. This document provides discursive reasoning for the selection of community as the optimal societal configuration, given what is known, as opposed to the selection and construction of other societal configuration types.
