To access to this address, you must be in Second Life and made yourself as an Avatar.


Functioning:

Politic personalities are invited to express and debate their points of view in this space about this theme, as it appears in their electoral program (the interventions calendar will be the object of a later press release. Journalists must ask to get accustomed to make their Avatar present in real time). Out of politic personality’s interventions, the visit of Experimental Center of territory and social laboratory is free (see Access practical modalities below)

Over times, after elections, the Experimental Center of territory will put other themes of debate that constitute a brainstorming form at the planet’s scale by resort to computer resources, with the implementation of the authentification card : C@pucine.net



Moral authority

The reflexion is with the authority and wisdom of the philosopher Platoon whose cave shadows (in fact they are objects and mathematics entities) always present in debate’s room, mustn’t prevent his clarity and his authenticity.

PARTICIPATION
The Internet users visitors of the Center will have the possibility of appropriating of interactive plots of land of the Territory, shown on the ground, to make their own message pass, in the form of a page URL, dealing with the discussed problem. This page will be archived in a data bank. It will fill one of the free plots of land of the Territory. The Internet users are invited to communicate their URL with the following address: territoire@capucine.net. Only the answers dealing with the subject will be installed (settled) on one of the plots of land available.

The pink quadrangle, in the center of the Territory, established by active plots of land, represents the original historic matrix of the Territory Fred Forest's matrix
