Rules:\n\n    ⅰ. Aside from one-time costs, a proper metamachine should not require ongoing funding to continue functioning. You may find [this list](https://github.com/ripienaar/free-for-dev/blob/master/README.md) of free resources useful.\n\n    ⅱ. A metamachine should continue operating indefinitely without the creator's interaction or intervention.\n\n1. Create a graph of your metamachine. Nodes are services, machines, and APIs. Edges are interactions.\n\n2. Use the following rubric to determine your metamachine's score:\n```\nscore =\n    (length of the longest loop in the graph - 1)\n  + (number of unique node types - 2)\n  + (monthly resource cost / $100)\n  + new tos clause       * 4   # was a clause added to a service's TOS to outlaw your metamachine?\n  + is useful            * 8   # does the metamachine provide a useful service?\n  + creative node types  * 16  # minecraft servers, excel spreadsheets, etc involved\n  + has human cog        * 32  # is there an unwitting human somewhere in the loop?\n  + is turing complete   * 64  # is the metamachine capable of arbitrary computation?\n  + cannot be stopped    * 128 # is it impossible to stop the metamachine?\n```\n\n3. Submit link(s) to your metamachine, a graph of its architecture, its score according to the above rubric, along with your rationale for that score to \u003ccasey@rodarmor.com\u003e.\n\n## [boot.is](http://boot.is) score\n\n0. Compliance:\n\n    i. No ongoing resource costs. The `boot.is` domain did cost money, but it not required for the ongoing function of the metamachine.\n\n1. Architecture diagram:\n    ![architecture diagram](boot.png)\n\n2. Score:\n\n```\n  1pt # longest loop is 2 edges, minus 1\n  0pt # two node types, minus 2\n  0pt # monthly resource cost is \u003c $100\n  0pt # not useful\n  0pt # no creative node types\n  0pt # no human cogs\n  0pt # is not turing complete\n+ 0pt # can be stopped\n-----\n  1pt # total\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcasey%2Fboot","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcasey%2Fboot","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcasey%2Fboot/lists"}
