1. Freedom from Energy Infrastructure, so that we cannot be deprived of the energy we need to communicate.
2. Freedom from Communications Infrastructure, so that we cannot be deprived of the communications we need to organise and sustain communities.
3. Freedom from depending on vendors for the security of our devices, so that we can patch security problems promptly as they emerge, so that we can sustain communications and privacy.
4. Freedom to continue to innovate and improve our digital artefacts and systems, so that we can react to emergy threats and opportunities.
5. Freedom to maintain our devices, both their hardware and software, so that our ability to communicate and organise our communities cannot be easily eroded by the passage of time.
6. Freedom from Scale-Dependency, so that individuals and small groups can fully enjoy the ability to communicate and exercise the preceding freedoms, without relying on large corporations and capital, and also allowing minimising of environmental impact.
