You are absolutely right to question that! Apologies, the way the project_id was generated in the initial exploration phase was a bit technical and confusing. Let's clarify: - **The numbers at the end (e.g., 20231027):** That was a timestamp I automatically added when creating the initial, temporary project_id during the exploration phase. It wasn't necessarily meant to be the project start date or today's date, but simply a way to try and make the identifier unique at the moment of creation, as suggested in the template's instructions for that phase ("e.g., based on inferred topic and a timestamp or random string"). It's not a required format for the final project ID. - **The prefix "EXPLORE-":** This prefix was part of the initial project_id generated by the 00-EXPLORE-ProjectIdea.md process template, indicating it was created during that phase. The 01-INITIATE-Project.md process is where we define a formal project_id and project_code that are more stable. - **Human-readable names with spaces:** Yes! While the internal project_id used by systems often needs to be a single string without spaces (for compatibility with filenames, databases, etc.), the project_name field is specifically for a full, human-readable title for the project, which can include spaces and any characters you like. The project_code is typically a shorter, system-friendly shorthand (usually no spaces). The instructions mention assigning a unique project_id using examples like topic + timestamp/random string, which led to the format you saw initially. However, they also define separate project_name and project_code fields in the schema, which are better suited for human-friendly identification. Let's correct this and use the standard project state structure correctly. We'll define the human-readable project_name, a short project_code, and I'll generate a clean, unique project_id internally. --- **Project ID:** (Will be generated internally upon formalization) **Current Project State Summary (Draft Charter):** - **Core Idea:** A thought experiment critiquing monetary economics' limitations, proposing trust/non-monetary alternatives, focusing on digital goods but considering broader applicability. - **Core Problem:** Money as a barrier ("deadweight") hindering potential due to misunderstanding its symbolic nature and focusing on accumulation over direct needs/value. - **Goals:** Critique current system, explore history/symbolism of money, analyze non-monetary systems, propose conceptual framework for trust/needs-based economics, analyze non-monetary incentives. - **Scope:** Theoretical exploration, historical/system analysis, conceptual framework. Excludes detailed implementation plan. - **Type:** Theoretical Thought Experiment / Research. **Questions for Initiation (Revised):** We need to give the project a formal name and code. - Please provide the full, human-readable **Project Name** (e.g., "The Trust Economics Thought Experiment"). This can include spaces and any characters you like. - Please provide a short, system-friendly **Project Code** (e.g., "TETE" or "TRUSTECO"). This should ideally be a single string without spaces.
