+# About Blee: towards an integrated Emacs environment for enveloping our own autonomy directed digital ecosystem
+Mohsen BANAN (he/him) - Pronunciation: MO-HH-SS-EN
+

+
+Emacs has long been recognized as the ultimate integration platform, enabling
+the creation of an unparalleled user environment. In 2010, Tomohiro Matsuyama,
+captured this concept crisply:
+
+"The reason why Emacs platform is good is that it cooperates with OS,
+not because it is good by itself."
+
+Building on this idea, Blee (ByStar Libre-Halaal Emacs Environment) can be seen
+as yet another Emacs re-distribution, akin to Doom Emacs or Spacemacs. However,
+Blee is distinct. While Doom Emacs is multi-platform oriented, Blee is paired
+exclusively with Debian &#x2014; and on mobile, with Termux-Android. While Doom Emacs
+is Emacs-centric, Blee is digital ecosystem-centric.
+
+To further elucidate Blee, let’s break down the subtitle of this presentation:
+
+"Towards an Integrated Emacs Environment for Enveloping Our Own
+Autonomy Directed Digital Ecosystem."
+
+- **"Towards":** Blee is an ever-evolving, organic, and ongoing project &#x2014; just
+ like Emacs itself.
+
+- **"Enveloping":** Blee is designed to fully integrate and encapsulate usage of
+ an entire digital ecosystem.
+
+- **"Our Own Autonomy-Directed Digital Ecosystem":** In contrast to the
+ proprietary American ecosystems of Google, Microsoft, Meta, Apple, and Amazon,
+ Blee is part of *the Libre-Halaal ByStar Digital Ecosystem*. ByStar is ours.
+
+By\* challenges the existing proprietary American digital ecosystem while
+operating concurrently alongside it. ByStar's primary offerings are tangible
+autonomy and genuine privacy on a very large scale. ByStar represents a moral
+inversion of the proprietary American internet services model. By\* is about
+redecentralization of internet application services.
+
+Some might dismiss ByStar as an ambitious, utopian vision. In response, I’ve
+authored a book titled:
+
+Nature of Polyexistentials:
+Basis for Abolishment of the Western Intellectual Property Rights Regime
+And Introduction of the Libre-Halaal ByStar Digital Ecosystem

+
+Blee and Emacs are integral parts of ByStar.
+
+Analysis of digital ecosystems is inherently interdisciplinary, and so is my
+book. But, in this presenation, I won't be delving much into the philosophical,
+ethical, moral, societal, and social dimensions of the book. This presentation,
+focuses on the technical aspects of ByStar and Blee, specifically through the
+lens of Emacs users and developers.
+
+Blee’s approach to integration differs from traditional Emacs culture in three
+key ways:
+
+1. Avoiding the "Curse of Lisp": While Emacs culture emphasizes doing
+ everything in Lisp, Blee consciously avoids this pitfall.
+
+2. Cultivation of Best-of-Breeds: Emacs folklore tends to follow a laissez
+ faire approach, but Blee is disciplined around cultivation of selected best
+ of breeds.
+
+3. Digital Ecosystem Orientation: Unlike traditional Emacs, which is
+ component-focused, Blee is designed in the context of the entirety of our
+ own digital ecosystem.
+
+In ByStar, much of the integration occurs outside of Emacs, through a framework
+called BISOS (By\* Internet Services OS). BISOS builds on Debian to provide a
+unified platform for developing both internet services and software-service
+continuums. BISOS and Blee are intertwined.
+
+Now, in 2024, I am advancing Matsuyama concept with specificity:
+
+"The reason why Emacs platform is good is that it facilitates creation of
+ integrated usage environments like Blee, which cooperate with Debian, BISOS
+ and ByStar."
+
+An early version of BISOS and Blee is available for public use and
+experimentation. To get started with BISOS, Blee, and ByStar, visit
+<https://github.com/bxgenesis/start>. From a virgin Debian 12 installation
+("Fresh-Debian"), you can bootstrap BISOS and Blee in one step by running the
+raw-bisos.sh script. It produces "Raw-BISOS" which includes "Raw-Blee". You
+can then customize Raw-Blee to create different parts and aspects of your own
+ByStar DE.
+
+I welcome your thoughts and feedback, especially if you experiment with Blee,
+BISOS, ByStar, and the model and the concept of Libre-Halaal Polyexistentials.
+
+About the speaker:
+
+Mohsen Banan is a software and internet engineer.
+In this talk he describes how he has leveraged
+Emacs as an integration platform to create a
+comprehensive integrated usage environment. In his
+recent book "Nature of Polyexistentials", he
+introduces the Libre-Halaal ByStar Digital
+Ecosystem. Both in the book and this talk, he
+outlines a blueprint and presents initial
+implementations for BISOS (By\* Internet Services
+OS) and Blee (ByStar Libre Emacs Environment).
+Central to his presentation is the positioning of
+Emacs, as the core of Blee.
