REA uses an abstract word for this relationship in order to make the meaning configurable. The reciprocity does not need to happen at the same time, or in the same transaction. And it can have any logic that a network wants: payment in money, swap, earn credits, earn reputation points, share with the commons, from each according to ability and to each according to need, etc. +### Levels of the ontology + All the levels of the REA ontology are similarly flexible and configurable: -* The Abstract level represents classification, policies, procedures, rules and patterns.

The model must also be able to support coordinating work between different people in different organizations. People who are not concerned with rewards may still want to coordinate work. 5. The model must be able to support circular economies, value flows where resources come full cycle to be fed into the same set or other processes so that recycling, re-use, and other ways to encourage resources not becoming waste. 5. The model must be fractal. It must support global views of networks in aggregate as well as drilling down to lower and lower levels of detail.

The model must support non-business-as-usual organizational forms and economic relationships in addition to traditional business organizations and relationships. These organizational forms can be as varied as the people and groups who create them want. VF in particular embraces this experimentation towards next-economy/solidarity-economy/commons-based-economy/P2P-economy/etc., in this transitional time. 8. The model must support systems where all the contributors can get shares of the outcome to allocate as they wish. In other words, a group can choose to introduce various monetary currencies into their flows but can also do all the coordination and accounting without introducing such artifacts.
