Free Digital Universe's Page

The Free Digital Universe (FDU) is a non-violent Virtual World that serves as a Charitable Fundraiser for Peace Portal projects, a global equal rights forum where everyone is a equal "Digital Soule", and a personal wealth empowerment tool for eradicating poverty by leveraging Information Age technologies.

Information Age tools can relieve pressure on people and the environment. Achieving this goal will require a common global community where even the poor can create digital wealth using a free peer to peer Information Age economic system where value is created from human elements of creativity (music, words, art) rather than natural resources. A environmental system where one can shoot an animal video instead of an animal, and provide wealth for their family earned by digital sales to a global audience.

Each new Avatar Soule entering the Game chooses a charitable "Soule Family" from which their unique Avatar Soule derives. As a Avatar increases in Life Force Points from actions in FDU, a part is donated to a charity associated with their Soule Family. In this way, each Player Soule automatically helps to fund charities of interest to each unique Player.

Charities funded through the FDU Game are integrated to create sustainable community centers called Access Points. Each Access Point has it's own local community credit system with laws that reflect their unique culture and needs, and also can interface with the globally viable FDU "Point" currency system.

"If the Internet is going to become the engine of global commerce it's cracked up to be, it needs a currency it can call its own - a currency as non-proprietary and international as the Internet itself." ~ Wired

The Free Digital Universe (FDU) is being implemented as a virtual game where players use Digital Soules and Avatars to collect a currency called "Life Force Points." Avatars collect Life Force Points in a variety of ways, including:

1) Players share in the ad revenue of their virtual social networking Malls provided to every Digital Soule, thereby ensuring all Soules gain in Life Force Points automatically simply for playing.

2) Players may Publish Digital Products for sale and redistribution in any other Players Malls, and collect the coin of the realm (Life Force Points) for each sale originating from their Mall; and they may also offer these Digital Products to non-players (the Public at large) who can purchase using credit cards, e-currencies, and other public money.

3) Players may allow non-players to visit their virtual Malls and purchase Affiliate (such as Amazon) provided products via their virtual store and the Player collects “Life Force Points” each time a affiliate sale is realized.

4) Players may exchange other Gaming or e-currencies within our Games “Energy Trading Floor,” everything from 2nd Life Linden Dollars to PayPal or E-Gold may be exchanged for the Life Force Points earned in this Free Virtual Universe by the Digital Soule.

5) Players may barter directly as peers on our trading floor, the unique auction sites within the FDU allow Players to safely and securely (with built in escrow) exchange real goods and services.

6) Players may click on ads placed by other Players to earn Life Force Points, in this way everyone is guaranteed a means of increasing their Life Force Points. The reason another Player will pay you to look at their ad is because they want you to place their product prominently in your Mall space so they sell more using you as their sales partner; each time a sale is made all parties Digital Soule accounts are credited with more Life Force Points.

7) Players may import and create an infinite number of games and options in FDU. One such 3D game in which Soules may quest, is Transcendent Nation, home of the Twelve.

8) Players will find access to free education, and many other non commercial (free) items of value, limited only by our imaginations.

Game parameters (programming and terms) are based on universal natural laws of creation. The holistic design is intended to produce an Information Age commerce system that will result in greater wealth and freedom for everyone, even those living in emerging countries, while also responding to ever-growing pressures on our natural environment.

The FDU Game automatically funds multiple charitable not-for-profit (npo) organizations when the Avatar is used.
