We develop the rationale of pluriverse as a practice, as movement beyond the modernist fantasy of universalised institutions, practices of knowing, forms of provisioning for need, formations of living, frames of value(ing). We adopt a skilfully-modulated regionalism-localism, within a large and respectful acknowledged scope of skilful modes and traditions of living.
The project of 'universe' has been historically realised as bourgeois-liberal nation state, global capitalist economy, dependent consumerist household, a client industrial-non-profit sector; and a panoply of supremacies: colonial, white, Euro, masculine-hetero, patriarchal, professionalised, propertarian, extractive, anthropocentric.

Here we engage with the means of visioning and enacting pluriversal relations in making a living economy. A framing of 'seven Rs' of activist commitment underpins a commitment to design justice in the cultivation of infrastructure and tools, and to social justice in the evolution of Living economy.
