Defining groupcore

Groupcore is defined as the loose, rotating circles of collaboration and work that the internet makes possible, a mode of cooperation that preserves autonomy, distributes authorship, and generates outcomes no one could make alone. The article describes it as fractal, anti-fragile, and structured as a lattice rather than a skyscraper. It uses Metalabel as its example, a team of four that says it has run for four years, with its Metalabel marketplace having seen 30,000+ collectors, 1,000+ creators, and nearly $2 million in transactions over the past three years. The team says it manages its many projects through a heterarchy, limited decisions, and strong norms, and is building the Dark Forest OS software to offer the groupcore stack as one tool.
