##The Symantis Philosophy
###What is Symantis?
Symantis is a system. To join, a person creates a Symantis account to become a Symantis User. A user is able to use the Symantis Creator App which builds robust "Realtime" Single Page Web Apps (SPWA). When something is built in the Creator App each component in the Symantis Project becomes a Manti. These Manti are micro repositories that contain design and development elements. Each time a Manti is created it is time stamped with the user's Symantis Signature and is then added to a Manti Tracker, much like a Torrent Tracker, and is seeded directly from the user's system. The Manti Tracker is spread across a block chain that is common in Crypto Currencies. Each time a Manti is "forked" and used by another user they also seed the orignal Manti and their Symantis Signature is added to the time stamp in the block chain.
The block chain is maintained and validated by other users who are using the program Symantis Myner. When a block in the chain is validated it produces Myner Coins. Users who are seeding Manti have priority in their Myner hash pools based on the number of other users who have forked thier Manti. This means the more a Manti is being forked and seeded the higher chance that a user will receive Myner Coins for their popular Manti. Myner Coins are similar to Litecoins and are transferred to the Manti seeders when forking Manti or when setting bounties for Symantis projects, components, etc... Users have the option of encrpyting their Manti so that they will be private, but to do so, they give up their priority in Myner for their Manti and must exchange Myner Coins. Non-encrpyted Manti are created with the understanding that they belong to the original creator(s) but unlimited permissions are granted to copy and alter to any other Symantis user for the exchange of Myner Coins.
In the future, Myner Coins could translate into real world currency since they are the only form of currency allowed in the Symantis System. Symantis.org does not exchange real world currency for Myner Coins, but it also does not prohibit it. In fact, it encourages it to the level acceptable by the laws in your area.
Designers can contribute to Symantis by creating Design Elements and turning them into Manti. Developers can contribute to Symantis by creating Development Elements and turning them into Manti. Additionaly, designers and developers can work in "realtime" to create Manti. In turn, since the Symantis System works on a single beat, Designers and Developers are encouraged to learn the skillsets of their counterparts. Even non-designers and non-developers can contribute to Symantis, either by trading Myner Coins to have work completed or by investing in popular Manti and becoming seeders.
###What this means
This means you can create awesome good-will open source projects and get credit (possibly even physical credit) for your work.
##Code of Conduct
Symantis is for everyone, and so it should be used with the interest of everyone in mind. Using Symantis to create unlawful technologies or devices of descrimination may result in a penalty from the community. Public voting amongst Symantis users is encouraged and forums will be open for the users to voice their opinions. Controversial decisions will ultimately be made by the primary Symantis organizers, but it is likely that as the system grows so will its needs and new checks and balances will need to be integrated.
##Definitions
###Manti A "Manti" is a micro repository that adheres to Symantis guidelines. Each Manti is compatiable with the Symantis Creator App. A collection of Mantis make up a Symantis Project.
###Myner Myner is the name of the Symantis system's Crytpo Currency.
###Creator App The Creator App is the name of the Symantis Web App that allows users to build Manti and Symantis Projects. It's free to use and allows mulitple people to use instances of it in "realtime".
###Bounty A bounty is the offering of Myner Coins in exchange for the creation of a Manti or the resolution of a Query ie. question. Users can offer bounties to help advance thier knowledge and to have work completed for them.
###Query A query is a question posed by a user in the community. It should be Symantis related.
