Thanks for introducing me to Nomic games. I think it would benefit those interested in improving on current smart contract implementations to put away the computer for a few days, and just map out the value stream and logical(and often illogical) behavior of the humans, including whatever steps can be taken to supercede the code, in the physical world. I wonder if Nick Szabo had any interactions in this space before coming up with the first ideas for implementing smart contracts. For those interested in the history of smart contracts, check out https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart Contract .Szabo proposes that smart contract infrastructure can be implemented by replicated asset registries and contract execution using cryptographic hash chains and Byzantine fault tolerant replication. Askemos implemented this approach in 2002 using Scheme later adding SQLite as contract script language. The precursor to smart contracts was Ian Griggs idea on Ricardian Contracts https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricardian_contract https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricardian_contract
