Premise: The basis for partipation in culture is rule driven. Definitions and rules define a synthetic social structure. This structure facilitates representation of a collective world view and speeds orientation and socialization, thereby speeding evolution and allowing traditionally excluded populations to participate. Since the structure is transparent, participants engage and leave as they choose. Since participants are owners, they share profits and cultural surplus. Participants exists in equilibrium with the structure which evolves according to the rules of Alternatium.
