*In the series, the order is a book that describes how the silos should be managed. The order is clearly "bad" because all control is an infringement to the freedom of the people. Still, if you progress further in the series, you see that the order is still a good way to manage the people.*
In the series, the order is used to control the people, and to limit their ability to progress. They want to keep the people dumb, so they're easy to manage. However, in our hackerspace, we want to do the exact opposite. Our order should empower people to get the best out of themselves. Our order should stimulate collaboration, and should enable people to think creatively and to solve problems creatively. We know that this system will be flawed from the start. We know that control of people is evil. But a flawed system is better than no system, and we will continuously patch this system to make it better. That is why this is on github. So we can learn from our past mistakes and other people can stand on our shoulders to see further than anyone else.

**Note:** For now the goal of this page is to collect ideas that YOU think should be part of the
code of conduct for the space. Each of the points will be agreed upon using [group decision model](../order/decision.md#members-group).
Basically we've come the observation that "*use common sense*" and "*be excellent*" don't always suffice as a *code of conduct*. This is because different people have different realities, different values and morals. We think this diversity is a good thing. However in a communal context where these realities clash with eachother it creates friction and conflict.
