Architecture Matters: The Role of Layered Modular Architecture on the Negative Externality of Digital Platforms and Its Remedy

Digital platforms harness the benefits of a loosely coupled structure of a layered modular architecture (LMA) and the generativity of open innovation. However, negative externalities emerge as these platforms continue to expand in both size and scope. In this essay, I elucidate the impact of the architecture of digital assets that underpin these platforms on the negative externalities they create. Specifically, I demonstrate how cloud-based digital assets and their property control rights shape how values are created and allocated in these platforms. Crucially, the architecture of digital shapes who can exercise property control rights over those digital assets. Based on the analysis, I propose a decentralized layered modular architecture as a crucial remedy to mitigate the negative externalities of LMA-based platforms. This emerging architecture should incorporate additional decentralized layers of digital identity, personal data, and models. Crucially, the proposed architecture should facilitate delineating property rights for digital assets to enable efficient, effective, and equitable governance of these platforms. Finally, I discuss the theoretical, methodological, social, and policy implications of the emergence of decentralized LMA.
