“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
― From “Strength to Love” by Martin Luther King, Jr. (1963)
Λn Solas Sí ΛrtScience is a Worker-Owned Cooperative Community of Practice for Ecocentric, Socially Responsible Technologies through Action Research and Development.
My name is Muirén Ní Sídach, the founder, enterprise and product architect for what may appear to resemble the culture of planet Anarres, the “Ambiguous Utopia” of the late author, Ursula K. Le Guin in her book “The Dispossessed”.
Though Λn Solas Sí ΛrtScience or ΛSSΛ CO-OP is not based on “The Dispossessed” in any literal sense, it shares common principles, if not any common expression in themes of anarcho pacifism and anarcho-syndicalism.
It also shares common origins, as Le Guin’s novel began as she calls it a “misbegotten” short story that had to wait many years for sufficient experience, knowledge, and insight necessary to transform it into the coherent narrative published in 1974. (Le Guin on Le Guin here)
ΛSSΛ CO-OP is not the whole but only the foundational cooperative and inception team of a federated union of cooperatives. And as such, it functions as a media production company devoted to experiential communication of the federation’s raison d’être, it’s reason for being by Action Research expressed as a new form of Live Action Role Play.
Ɍáithold Cooperative Union (formerly Anarcho Pacifica), through our craft we will demonstrate the relevance and viability of Economic Democracy for Social Democracy. We will show a comprehensive path from our demonstration model of principle-based society, to a replicable, federated model that can be adopted by any community anywhere, who are willing to consent to a higher democracy, valuing this intentional common sense above personalities, personal egos and ambitions.
A general summary of this intentional common sense and the evidentiary science that informs its use in the management and exercise of our relationships can be found by clicking here on “Λbout” or directly at any later time in the navigation menu above.

When using the term Magical Realism it has become clear that people assume they know what it means and worse, they’re never asking questions is one of several unfortunate outcomes.
