The processes driving collective action can be complex and multi-faceted, involving various socio-economic, psychological, and cultural factors. Organizational structures often provide the framework for collective action, shaping the potential for groups to come together in a meaningful way. However, it's not just the structures themselves, but also the shared beliefs, intents, and understandings of individuals within those structures that activate potentialities into actualities.
The emergence of phenomena like #Bitcoin or decentralized finance (#DeFi) platforms offer fascinating case studies. They started as mere possibilities, guided by individual and collective intents that challenged the status quo. Through collective action—whether it's contributing to open-source code, spreading the word, or adopting the technology—these initiatives have carved out new paths in the landscape of probability.
So, while organizational structures might offer the "scaffolding," it's often individual intent and shared visions that guide the probabilities, effectively turning potential into reality.
