The document discusses ideas around distributed autonomous organizations (DAOs), decentralized applications (DApps), and their potential impact. It envisions a future where: 1. DApps could function as decentralized organizations, with tasks and rewards distributed via a blockchain network without centralized control. 2. An intelligent DApp may be able to identify problems, propose solutions using relevant technologies, and come to consensus on solutions via its user network. 3. Emerging technologies like blockchain, distributed networks, and augmented intelligence could enable new forms of decentralized organizations like autonomous corporations and applications in the foreseeable future.

51. 1-Autonomous
The application must be completely open-source, it
must operate autonomously, with no entity
controlling the majority of its tokens, and its data
and records of operation must be cryptographically
stored in a public, decentralized block chain.

52. 2-Distributed
The application may adapt its protocol in response
to proposed improvements and market feedback but
all changes must be decided by majority consensus
of its users.

53. 3-Reward
The application must generate tokens according to
a standard algorithm or set of criteria and possibly
distribute some or all of its tokens at the beginning
of its operation. These tokens must be necessary
for the use of the application and any contribution
from users should be rewarded by payment in the
application’s tokens.
