	No Treason » Blog Archive » Seasteading
		The fact that seasteads have the potential to be sovereign is a large part of their comparative advantage.
		Seems to me that seasteaders are almost literally sitting ducks if they do anything that really pisses off existing nations and it also seems to me that seasteads would be magnets for many activities that would do just that.
		Seasteads enable people to do all sort of activities, but that doesn’t mean they can’t choose which to allow on the basis of national security.

	Seastead - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Seasteads are floating platforms which could be used to create a sovereign micronation, or otherwise serve the ends of ocean colonization.
		The term was used in a paper by Wayne Gramlich, and later a book by Gramlich, Patri Friedman, and Andy House, which is available for free online.
		The authors believe that seasteading has the potential to change the world by drastically lowering the barrier to entry to the governing industry.

		This is the home of the Seasteading Project, which aims to build sovereign, self-sufficient floating platforms, thus creating new territory on the oceans.
		Seastead Lite will be our first ocean-worthy platform.
		Diagrams of Seastead Lite's structure, layout, and how multiple steads can fit together are now available on the Seastead Lite Page.

		Then make the seastead two layers high, with Residential and where people would normally be on the top layer, and all Industry on the bottom.
		I could see seasteads being rural in the beginning, but as room on land decreases if the idea catches on, I could see futuristic cities of millions on a floating city.
		To pull off a seastead, you are going to have to have 30'+ walls to hold the force of the water back in serious weather.

	Seasteading: Ocean Environment
		If seasteads only have jurisdiction over their own mobile structure, not claiming any "real" territory, it is possible that they will not be seen as a threat.
		Such "seasteads" might be offered for extended periods on attractive terms, contingent upon the useful development of the marine tract in a manner that would safeguard necessary navigation, fishing, and other uses of the superjacent waters and would be integrated with the overall plan for development of the coastal zone.
		Seastead defense is discussed in the infrastructure section.

		Addendum: Concerning defense of a large seastead in international waters, Friedman said that deterring pirates would be easy, but not giving governments a reason to attack and proving valuable to the same is the best defense against navies.
		Friedman had said that one of many things a seastead community could do is host a digital library of all the works of humans free for the inhabitants.
		Well, I agree that seasteads are still going to be economically dependent on land based countries for a long time, and that many goods and services will be more expensive.

	seasteading: Wayne and Patri discussion, 6/2/04
		Our seastead design has a very large draft, which is no problem in the open ocean, and gives it enormous stability.
		We can dock the seastead in jacked-up configuration, where the safety hull is sitting on top of the flotation hull and the spar is sticking up in the center.
		The seastead will be much more coupled to wave actions in this configuration because it has a high waterplane area, but we do it for berthing which is presumably in protected waters.

		The approach was to by develop a) means to transport scallops live, b) methods to grow-out transplanted scallops on the bottom and in the water column, c) criteria for managing scallop grow-out areas, and d) means to identify potential grow-out areas.

		Specifically the effects on the seastead's social and physical development and pollitical effects on the outside world.
		You have one seastead with mainly residential zones, some agriculture, and a steady supply of construction material.
		You have it towed to the shores of the most miserable places on earth (ie: where there is a big famine, war, tyrant, etc) and invite anyone to board who wishes to.

		The huge, expensive ideas involving seacreate and OTEC generators that I'd seen are infeasible, and so I had dismissed this possibility until I came upon Wayne Gramlich's original Seastead essay.
		Unfortunately, the ferocity of ocean waves caused him to revise his approach to a somewhat more expensive one involving platforms, as described in the Seastead Version 2 piece (far from complete).
		On a real seastead, instead of a ratio of 1:3, the ratio will be more like 100:1 - the weight of the structure will be far greater than the people and things being moved around on top.

		A little spaceship is not so different from a little seastead, and Mal’s motivating idea is definitely one of escape from a tyranny he can’t defeat.
		A spacecraft– like a seastead– cannot survive for long without coming to land to do deals; nor can its operators always pick and choose the nature of those deals.
		Yes, Patri’s seasteads will eventually be just as well or poorly ruled as the rest of the planet.

		It should have everything necessary to sustain life for 1-2 people, except for things which a Seastead would import.
		Besides serving as a testbed and proof of the projects viability, it is intended for substantial use in live demonstrations around the bay area, tapping into the large number of people interested in cool technology, as well as ecologically sustainable methods of living.

		The greatest value of the Seasteading site is its list of things that have been tried, a much larger list than you might expect.
		This is quite important from a transterrestrialist perspective because Seasteading can help debug some of the things that will be needed for permanent and free offworld colonies.
		Eventually some Seastead group or other will run into direct conflict with an established nation (as Minerva already did with Tonga) at a level which merits attention from other nations or the UN.
