## metamachine scoring

0. Rules:

    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.

    ⅱ. A metamachine should continue operating indefinitely without the creator's interaction or intervention.

1. Create a graph of your metamachine. Nodes are services, machines, and APIs. Edges are interactions.

2. Use the following rubric to determine your metamachine's score:

```

score =

    (length of the longest loop in the graph - 1)

  + (number of unique node types - 2)

  + (monthly resource cost / $100)

  + new tos clause       * 4   # was a clause added to a service's TOS to outlaw your metamachine?

  + is useful            * 8   # does the metamachine provide a useful service?

  + creative node types  * 16  # minecraft servers, excel spreadsheets, etc involved

  + has human cog        * 32  # is there an unwitting human somewhere in the loop?

  + is turing complete   * 64  # is the metamachine capable of arbitrary computation?

  + cannot be stopped    * 128 # is it impossible to stop the metamachine?

```

3. 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 .

## [boot.is](http://boot.is) score

0. Compliance:

    i. No ongoing resource costs. The `boot.is` domain did cost money, but it not required for the ongoing function of the metamachine.

1. Architecture diagram:

    ![architecture diagram](boot.png)

2. Score:

```

  1pt # longest loop is 2 edges, minus 1

  0pt # two node types, minus 2

  0pt # monthly resource cost is < $100

  0pt # not useful

  0pt # no creative node types

  0pt # no human cogs

  0pt # is not turing complete

+ 0pt # can be stopped

-----

  1pt # total
