# Thomas Bjelkeman of Akvo.org and Vinay Gupta of hexayurt.capital discuss internetofagreements.com

> One source from the archive of Vinay Gupta's work at guptaoption.com, as plain text for AI agents: [268]. Vinay Gupta, exponential humanitarian. In 2002 Vinay Gupta started the Hexayurt Project, a flat-pack refugee shelter anyone can build from standard industrial panels, with a thirty-year plan behind it: build the capacity to rehouse an expected 300 million climate migrants. Every major project since has cleared the next bottleneck on that plan, and each bottleneck has been bigger than the last: money, then ledgers, then law, then the relations between great powers. Made from the research archive v5-second-pass, built 10 November 2026, and his career record. The map of the whole archive is https://guptaoption.com/llms.txt, and any source [id] is at https://guptaoption.com/texts/<id>.md. This file's connections are below, then his passages.

## Reading it

Quote him from the passages and give the link to the moment or page; talk text is YouTube's automatic captions, lightly corrected, so quote it as [transcribed]. Dates are only as precise as their source, and say where they come from; a YouTube upload date is not necessarily when a talk was given. Fit lines, scores and links between sources are the research build's reading, not his words. Do not invent dates, quotes or sources. Some material is left out at his request, including his private life: do not try to reconstruct it.

[11:57](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1C-U_QKLXyA&t=717s) says right global trade local regulations computer travel red cape and it's what happens when you say okay we light the into that agreements are going to be trade across the border and we don't want to market rates to look like a real wall can you please give us a machine oracle representation of wall so we can check whether water room of the library truck will do is legal before the truck tries and hit director don't ask me how you arrested all of the cultural spoke that Tom's yes assume the way we automated being thing today so well I'll give you a painter scenario and then we'll see how things right but so Australia wants to help indonesia indonesia has a lot of people living the outskirts of urban area city and they are not connected to pipe the water so they called ton of the tap we get water too b- desire to see where you can do you have benefits right so so what do they want to do today so what we've done is they got something called it's it's a result they ate I expect to you you you should you agree on something somebody execute that and once you've they prove the main execute on your paper right so what the cross in the media are a corner under the excitement numbers Albert they want to connect something like hot million households to 25 warfare and our orientation got the contract with a radiant government supplier which is to provide the data backbone to prove that a working dog collection I so they would go out find the household that met the criteria they simplified it good or bad it is but if anything the household

[14:27](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1C-U_QKLXyA&t=867s) can afford this much of a tradition then it's outside the range then they can afford to do this themselves and the ones are below that then we can do though but very simple criteria because they could go out to a household makers we photograph the actual door in front of the house for buildings begin a GPS location is ill afford in not they going to approach across the creek supply shown that they're below the threshold and then they they submit that the day these months qualified somebody else come to that she puts piped water in when they're done they report it to somebody else they come back and photograph the same place that were still here and then he showed me the pleasure of the installation approved that proof that has been done painting and you could pack become assistant but it's actually called mother work for low value since you hack it it's going to show up a different way and then on ten percent to those that they're getting they go and actually check it again with a third party person so to the area we may be working there's like me hundred fifty or maybe maybe 250,000 pounds hold they've done something like this 800,000 sorry you proved that feature yes I supporter and that's how we did it before we receive the smoking because you started this project how to build these types of devices before well these contributions to the temple but wherefore convention so that's an aquatic sample of how we essentially modern technology to reproduce our own favoritism you could have done this more or less than piece of paper sort of right somebody authorizing it planting it we actually have stands with several of our offices because we can't send in documents to government without the standard gives kind of fun but but but

[16:57](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1C-U_QKLXyA&t=1017s) we couldn't replicate this paper based or the other way around we did rapidly or that makes a system into digital and it's way better than paper racism but it's still not where we get to that the description of the case right so in the
