What Is Positive Economic Shocks™?
Positive Economic Shocks™ is the Governance Division of Virtual Harmonics, LLC.
It is built to support the evolution of "Absolute Ownership of Personal Information(TM - by the Person about whom it has been created".
It exists to advance a practical proposition: people and small businesses should have the tools, standards, and public conditions needed to define, operate, and retain control of their own work, records, relationships, and economic activity.
The present technology stack can already move information and money quickly. What is often missing is an understandable way for a person to retain their own context, make informed decisions, keep portable records, and use technology without surrendering their future to a platform or intermediary.
Positive Economic Shocks™ supports public-interest work on the policies, standards, education, and governance questions raised by that gap.
Why Join?
Join if you want to support an economy in which useful tools strengthen the people and enterprises using them.
Join if you believe that ownership, portability, clear responsibilities, and direct participation should be normal operating conditions—not privileges available only to large institutions or technical specialists.
Annual membership is $35.
Members receive a quarterly email newsletter.

Positive Economic Shocks™
Positive Economic Shocks™ is the Governance and Policy Division of Virtual Harmonics, LLC, a symbolic media company developing independent business-technology infrastructure for individuals, small businesses, and semi-commercial ventures.
Our work begins with a simple principle: people should be able to retain meaningful authority over their own personal information, intellectual property, commercial relationships, and records of their own activity. We call this Absolute Ownership of Personal Information by the Person™.
Technology has made it possible to move information, money, and media across networks almost instantly. But the systems through which people live and work are changing faster than our shared ability to understand, govern, and protect them. Positive Economic Shocks™ exists to help identify the questions, principles, and standards needed to respond thoughtfully.
We do not claim to possess final answers in advance. We build a living process for asking better questions, learning from real people, documenting risks, and developing more useful approaches over time.
Our work includes:
- policy and standards development;
- education about user-defined systems, personal information, and economic agency;
- advocacy for accountable, human-centered technology governance;
- small user-group discussions about how to define, protect, and expand our rights.
Membership is $35 per year. Every new member is invited to a personal introductory conversation with Amy Lynn Freeman. Members receive four email updates per year. Those who want to do more may choose to join a small, on-demand user group—generally three to six people—organized around a real shared question.
Participation beyond the quarterly updates is always optional.
The purpose is not to build another platform or demand constant engagement. It is to create a durable, human-scale process through which people can think together, apply principles to real conditions, and help shape a better path.
Positive Economic Shocks™ is not charity and not a conventional political campaign. It is a membership-supported governance process for people who believe that useful technology should strengthen the agency, ownership, and productive capacity of the people using it.
