relating Intent to a Process, and to other resources via its inputs/outputs
In https://github.com/valueflows/intent/pull/3 I already mentioned that
- requested resource may go as input into a process
- offered resource may come as output from a process
I see utility of creating such relations fundamental for conscious decision making. For example:
- I have 2 tons of steel available, which I attach to an offer
- I get match with 2 requests
- First one declaring requested resource as input into a process which outputs weapons
- Second one declaring requested resource as input into a process which outputs farming tools
Without a context of what requesting agent plans to do with requested resource, I might unintentionally contribute to production of weapons. I want to have possibility to practice conscious contribution (requirement)
Example 2:
- I publish a request for a pair of shorts
- I get match with two offers, both declare offered resource as output from a process with input of human labour
- First one has that work used as input marked by many people as child slavery
- Second one has that work used as input marked by many people as fair
Without a context of from which process offering agent created that resource, I might unintentionally create demand for child slavery. I want to have possibility to practice conscious consumption (requirement)
