It looks like we can distinguish 6 sources for allocating resources as inputs for the process: 'internal' [...] 'external' [...] The 'internal' and 'external' seem to differ only that it may require a vf:Transfer, while internal we can do allocation without any transfers.
I replied:
'Internal' and 'external' are interesting concepts that deserve their own thread. Internal to what? (That's why we have contexts, or context agents.) What does 'someone else's inventory' mean? What does it mean in a mutual coordination economy?
This is that thread (to discuss internal and external to what).
