"La "gamification", ou utilisation des mécaniques de jeu pour d'autres applications, est un des gros buzz du moment. En janvier 2011 s’est tenu d’ailleurs le premier Gamification Summit. La gamification consiste essentiellement à se demander ce qui nous attire tant dans les jeux puis d’en extraire les recettes fondamentales, afin de les appliquer hors du cadre ludique. Au cœur de ce processus se trouve l’idée que le gain de points, l’acquisition d’un statut, sont des moteurs d’amusement suffisants pour encourager les utilisateurs à recourir à un service. "

And we call those systems currencies, i.e. trade currencies, reputation currencies, loyalty currencies, performance metric currencies, etc. In each case the flows they interact with, or the ways they interact with flows may be in different realms of social manifestation, just as sound, light and water waves all have wave properties in different realms of physical manifestation. But what we have found, is that once we recognize this common pattern, we experience a paradigm shift: we change our focus from the information tokens, to the flows themselves. We begin to actually be able to see these flows, and see how the flows are what create wealth, and how the information tokens just help us interact with the flows.

Thus, the goal of the meta-currency project is to create a new expressive capacity, a “flow mechanics” that amplifies our ability to see and shape the flows that underlie healthy social systems. This is much like how “wave mechanics” is an expressive capacity that gave us amplifies our ability to build physical systems.
