4.2 Framework Model Classification
Network of Networks Model
Holonic Network of Networks Model
The Holonic Network of Networks Model is designed to establish scalable, interoperable governance structures that enable multiple decentralized networks to function autonomously while maintaining seamless coordination. Unlike a single decentralized network, this model facilitates cross-network collaboration, multi-system decision-making, and dynamic resource distribution while preserving the sovereignty of each network.
By integrating federated governance, interoperable economic models, decentralized identity frameworks, and automated coordination mechanisms, this model ensures that independent networks remain adaptive, resilient, and collectively aligned within a larger holonic network.
Holonic Network of Networks Modules
This model provides a structured approach to multi-network governance, resource flows, decentralized coordination, and interoperability. These modules ensure that independent networks can collaborate effectively, exchange resources, and optimize decision-making without hierarchical control.
