    I think David’s suggestions are spot-on.

    There are a myriad practical considerations to keep in mind.

    Not everyone is as productive. Price’s Law observes that the square root of any given population produces half the value. Keeping this in mind, a designer would obviously NOT want a huge amount of communal space where unproductive ideas inevitably sabotage and drive out productive genius. Productive genius needs to have plentiful and exclusive resources- ie, those who are productive need a means of getting or being given, more land or having the ability to have exclusive use of more land.

    You can get general (or average) numbers from homesteaders or sustenance farmers in the area. It will vary vastly based on location. Around here, an average farm of 10 acres can feed 12 families completely. Which means that those 11 additional families being fed represents income and not merely sustenance. That is average. A genius producer could at least double or treble that.

    This goes for intellectual and structural resources as well. So a genius marketer should have exclusive control over the marketing and not have to deal with others opinions or control over the matter.

    So, a designer would have to take a dynamic and changeable approach to structuring any larger community of Kin’s Domains. I obviously don’t know exactly what that would look like, but I am keen to see something based on mutual benefit and yet allow for maximum freedom of creativity and productivity.

    This is of course if you want a thriving community with plentiful resources and creative genius to flourish.
