The Foundation Community Network (FCN) is the social networking arm of the Foundation phase of TMP, though many of its activities may not seem strictly social in nature. The FCN is the medium through which the vision of TMP is initially cultivated and disseminated, relying largely on volunteer effort, and will later serve to support the socio-cultural glue which bonds together the communities and business ventures which will eventually emerge as TMP progresses. It is currently embodied chiefly by the Living Universe Foundation and its Internet based forums and will expand into a variety of programs which establish open public communications mediums and cultivate the elements of the emerging Post-Industrial culture needed for establishing a cultural imperative for space development.
