If this sentence is the author's core thesis, the reader is not prepared by the preceding introductory sentences -- nor in the subsequent body of the abstract to fully grasp what the author means, nor why it is a basis for moral life (or moral evaluation at the individual, pool, marketplace, or nation-level?)

I am infering the author's intent is to suggest that the "transactional footprints of individual (local) commitment pool activity" can be aggregated into region/nation-level commitment pools platforms that support more "collectively moral" (meta-efficient?) practices and architecture for supporting aggregate improvements in co-regulation of coordination, responsiveness, and ethics."

I then anticipated further elaboration by the author on what is is meant by the capabilities arising from these nationally connected pools.

Not sure I missed something obvious to others? If other readers (or author?) of this abstract, can illuminate my understanding / inferences more accurately, the guidance is appreciated..
