Adventureship

An adventureship is the emotions or conduct of adventurers. It is the state of being adventurers, a relationship between adventurers, a state of mutual trust and support between allied adventurers.

Relationships

Adventures

Def.

  1. an "encountering of risks; hazardous and striking enterprise; a bold undertaking, in which hazards are to be encountered, and the issue is staked upon unforeseen events; a daring feat"[1]
  2. a "remarkable occurrence; a striking event; a stirring incident; as, the adventures of one's life"[1]
  3. a "mercantile or speculative enterprise of hazard; a venture; a shipment by a merchant on his own account"[1] is called an adventure.

Theoretical adventureships

Def. "one who seeks [...] fortune in new and hazardous or perilous enterprises"[2] is called an adventurer.

Def. a woman who seeks or enjoys adventure is called an adventuress.

"European adventurers found themselves within a watery world, a tapestry of streams, channels, wetlands, lakes and lush riparian meadows enriched by floodwaters from the Mississippi River."[3]

Contracts

Original research

Hypothesis:

  1. An adventureship is the most open type of contract. Each party brings to it whatever they want and takes out of it whatever they can without fiscally hurting the other adventurers.

Proof of technology

"[T]he objective of a proof of technology is to determine the solution to some technical problem, such as how two systems might be integrated or that a certain throughput can be achieved with a given configuration."[4]

Def.

  1. "[a]n original object or form which is a basis for other objects, forms, or for its models and generalizations",[5]
  2. "[a]n early sample or model built to test a concept or process",[5] or
  3. "[a]n instance of a category or a concept that combines its most representative attributes"[5] is called a prototype.

Def. "[t]o test something using the conditions that it was designed to operate under, especially out in the real world instead of in a laboratory or workshop"[6] is called "field-test", or a field test.

A "proof-of-technology prototype ... typically implements one critical scenario to exercise or stress the highest-priority requirements."[7]

"[A] proof-of-technology test demonstrates the system can be used"[8].

"The strongest proof of technology performance is based on consistency among multiple lines of evidence, all pointing to similar levels of risk reduction."[9]
