# Commons

Resources that have shared ownership and are built and curated in a distributed way. Particularly in a digital era performances and outputs are becoming commons compatible. Non-divisibility of outputs and (close to) zero marginal costs of production, as found in software and other digital goods, are all conditions for a commons. Commons attributes are everywhere: inside [Agent](/agent.md)s, between agents, and across and between [Network](/network.md)s. A propensity towards participatory common ownership is integral to a postcapitalist vision.
