What is “Common Ground”

‘Common Ground’ is a new, higher-dimensional digital physical interface channel that is both a concept for an entire social system in the broadest sense and a specification for a generic 3D description in the narrowest sense. It is responsible for the delineation and systematisation of the overall picture and the development of basic technologies, in cooperation with various companies.
