Purpose

Our central thesis is that the dynamic, immersive and agile nature of extended reality (XR) both provides an unusually fertile ground for the development of alternative forms of governance and essentially necessitates this development by contrast with relatively inagile institutions of public governance.

Design/methodology/approach

I take an epistemologically aware, systems-theoretic perspective in my analysis to properly tease out the relevant micro-, meso- and macro-structures; their direct interactions; and their entanglements.

Findings

The challenges presented by rapidly advancing XR may require much more agile forms of governance than are available from public institutions, even under widespread algorithmic governance. Social entrepreneurship in blockchain solutions may very well be able to meet some of these challenges, as we show.

Originality/value

There are very few systems-aware, epistemological analyses of social entrepreneurship utilizing algorithms versus public algorithmic governance and none that focus on how these two channels of social action interact with developments in XR.

数字狂野西部：关于扩展现实中的社会创业

目的

我们的中心论点是，扩展现实 (XR) 的动态、身临其境和敏捷的性质既为替代治理形式的发展提供了异常肥沃的土壤，并且与相对不灵活的公共治理机构相比，本质上需要这种发展。

设计/方法/方法

在我的分析中，我采用了认识论上的系统理论视角来正确梳理相关的微观、中观和宏观结构；他们的直接互动；以及他们的纠葛。

发现

快速发展的 XR 带来的挑战可能需要比公共机构更灵活的治理形式，即使在广泛的算法治理下也是如此。正如我们所展示的，区块链解决方案中的社会企业家精神很可能能够应对其中的一些挑战。

原创性/价值

很少有利用算法与公共算法治理对社会创业进行系统感知的认识论分析，也没有人关注这两种社会行动渠道如何与 XR 的发展相互作用。
