The Solution:
'Nexus' will be built on a robust, API-connected infrastructure. Its core innovation is the Member Avatar System.
Avatar Creation: Joining Nexus is like creating a sophisticated avatar. Every member defines their avatar's core 30 Attributes, setting a precise value (0.0000 to 100.0000) for each of the core interest tags (e.g., 3D Printing, Welding, Electronics). This profile is the avatar's functional "DNA."
The Multi-Avatar Advantage: A single member can create multiple Avatars simultaneously. For instance:
Avatar A: A "High-Precision 3D Printing Specialist" (high 3D Printing, high CAD).
Avatar B: A "Wood Shop & Crafting Apprentice" (high Wood Shop, high Crafting).
This allows a single user to represent different roles, skill sets, or interest levels within the community.
Virtual-to-Physical Mapping (V2P): This multi-avatar system provides a critical mechanism for mapping tasks to the physical domain:
Task Requests: A project in the virtual space (e.g., "build a custom enclosure") can issue a message request targeting an avatar's specific attributes (e.g., "Need a user with >75.0000 in Laser Cutting and >50.0000 in CAD").
Actionable Notifications: This request is delivered directly to the real person whose avatar meets the criteria, turning a virtual need into a physical task that can be acted upon in the physical hackerspace (e.g., "Your 'Laser Expert' avatar has a job waiting in the shop queue").
