    Featuring Powers of Ten by Charles and Ray Eames, based on an idea by Kees Boeke.

    I have never curated a retrospective on the activities that have occupied my life, and I am just beginning to compose a plan for the future occupation of my life. There are scores of metric, systemic and philosophical ways to view human lives.

    Nicholas Felton gives us a unique glimpse into his life that we share with you today. His captures inspired me to do some simple lifeline calculations and perhaps you too will pause to think about where you have conducted your life and where you are headed. Keep in mind that time is only one dimension of our lives.

    Real time browser based controls for the developer and user are essential to Visual Y and the dream of revolutionizing how people interact with systemic knowledge. We imagine entirely fresh and elegant solutions to the interface and controls that drive a generative visualization engine. Instant creation, instant pattern, instant exchange, instant representation, instant saving, instant tagging and ontological organization, instant visual retrieval, instant editing and documentation. We imagine building a video game like world that is beautiful, organic, interactive, meaningful, navigable and universally helpful. Share with us the best work and thinking about controls.

    Lets take a moment to explain Y Worlds before we emerge from our chrysalis this Spring.

    Over the past two years, we have been developing a global cooperative scaffolding that we believe will eventually ignite and support a self sustainable world – becoming a model, a generative enterprise and a change agent operating beside the worlds we have inherited.

    Our scaffolding, always a work in progress, consists of our Nurture, Equality, Truth and Systems model set, our semiotic language for the representation of knowledge, meaning and complexity, our first generation Visual Y generative engine, our daily.yworld.com posts culminating later this year in The Book of Y, and our sustainable enterprise gameplan that includes a consultancy, an alternative cooperative investment system, and high value initiatives focusing on such topics as food production, health and small scale entrepreneurship.

    The Y Worlds team is putting together a very large funding proposal that we will be introducing later this Spring to a carefully selected group of philanthropists, foundations and societally committed venture firms. We are always exploring people and organizations who may benefit from mutual coordination and support and exchange.

    We believe that in order for large scale change to occur there needs to be a major recalibration of our language, our objectives and principles and our understanding of systemic complexity plus there needs to be the invention of a compassionate collaborative mechanism to organize ourselves toward our potential.

    Sincerely,
    The collaborative of people at Y Worlds.

    Meaning is what shines. What sticks to our brain. the signal above the noise.

    It is the essence best captured through media, through semiotics, through image and sound, through story and experience, through signs and signifiers.

    A Y Person walks into a bar.
    YP has a couple brewskies to tame the rainy frenetic day.
    Soon, it was time to go to the toilet before grabbing a taxi home.

    The worries begin.

    The toilet door has a simple twist lock in the middle of the inside doorknob.
    It looked very worn and untrustworthy. Did the slight twist of the lock really lock the door?

    Z Person comes to the door. No sign of occupancy visible. Shakes the knob and door. Tries again even harder to get in. Both YP and Z have instant anxiety. Luckily, no mutual embarrassment today. The lockset holds.

    Back to Y Person. A proven worrier.
    The faucet was a twist faucet that required the grip of YP’s hand before the soap. Germs?
    The soap was a push and catch. Back of the hand to push. Soap. Rinse. What was in the soap?
    Did the soap clean off everything?
    Then tighten the faucet. More germs? Wash hands again?? No way!

    Then air dry. Don’t touch anything. Were germs in the room blown back onto YP’s busy hand?

    Now the door handle. The dreaded door handle to get out. Round. Has to be grasped. Surely massive disease carrying germs are happily dancing on the grasping hand?

    But before exiting, YP’s conscious goes into overdrive. Where did the waste water go?
    Into the river? Into water treatment and back into drinking water? What does the fluid pipe transit look like – does it travel miles? More questions fly into YP’s mind.

    Suddenly, YP walks to the bartender, grabs a napkin and pen next to the free stale peanut mix, and begins writing. Here is the note left by YP on the bar for all to see.

    For No Worries:

    Fail Safe Systems

    Locksets – visibly secure interior locks with visibly clear exterior signal upon locking

    Elections – visible clarity of ballot, visibly secure privacy, secure original documentation trail, multiple independent testing of code and system

    Web Communications – confirmation of send, confirmation of sender, confirmation of receipt, confirmation of privacy protection, confirmation of system integrity

    Package Labeling – trusted, documented, replicated assessment of labeling accuracy and product performance – placed on the label (change package labeling to Knowledge Labeling and repeat)

    Fine Print - no fine print

    Humans – mutual confirmation of all critical securities – a single government contact point that answers and visibly satisfies every need for food, for shelter, for protection, for health, for disability and old age, for training – with transparent oversight

    Lets install No Worries Systems where it matters.
    Simple. Cost Saving. Face Saving. Life Saving. Nice.

    Y Worlds. No Worries.

    Here is the shortest “knock knock” joke in the world.
    “Knock Knock”
    That’s it. That is the joke. I didn’t say it was the funniest “knock knock” joke.
    But it certainly is a joke.

    When we knock on many doors, there is no answer – even though the occupant is always there.

    Here are the rock solid doors many of us have knocked on:

    The employment door at most organizations. We get no response or a recorded email.

    The idea door at most organizations. Apparently, there is a very tiny door we can never find.

    The truth door at most organizations. This door entry requires a password that is rarely disclosed and impossible to guess.

    The door for significant venture funding. You have to be let in before you can knock.
    Inside the door for venture funding. Some who knock are funded but then end up leaving through the back door after burning through the green carpet.

    The submissions door at most organizations. When you have something you want to bring to the world, if there is a door, it is so padded that no matter how hard you knock, they do not hear you.

    The “talk to a human door” at many big internet companies. The doors are virtual – mirages. All you can do is a silent one handed knock.

    There are three doors to higher education.

    Door 1 is the height requirement door. If your family name is tall enough to be seen above the transom, and you softly knock, the door will usually open.

    Door 2 has a knocker hidden in a puzzle. If you are smart enough to solve the puzzle, then place the knocker on the correct door, and sharply bang it, the knock will be answered and you may enter.

    Door 3 is a very heavy big non greased door and it requires you to strap on a backpack of gold before you attempt your knock. You have to supply the backpack and the gold yourself. You get one knock and if answered, you must move that heavy door open with the burden of the weight of gold on your shoulders. Very difficult for the less endowed.

    Of course, over the past 10 years, a new generation of people and institutions are taking down the barrier of doors, either scrapping them totally or removing the mechanism of locks and knocks – leaving them simply open for all to see – inside and out. The internet enables anyone to express themselves, anyone to start a thin capital enterprise, anyone to share and exchange and anyone to disclose what is behind closed doors to all who wish to know. Peer to peer is emerging. Full access is emerging.

    But SLANT still holds a strong attachment to doors, making them hard to give up.

    The SLANT based reason for the celebration of doors is that organizations are easily overwhelmed by those from the outside either trying to get in or trying to just have someone answer their knock with a human exchange that satisfies.

    We think that any opportunity that hides behind dark closed doors needs to see the light of day.
    The opportunity and the opportunist must be able to see each other, size each other up using nurture, equality and truth as due diligence, and generate something of greater value if matched.

    Systems

    Systems is where the action is. We do not have to do things the way they have always been done. We can do things the way they need to be done. Systems is the way they can best be done.

    First, if the folks behind the closed doors don’t answer our knock, we find people with open doors, we find people to team with, we find people with spirit and drive and something of mutual value, and we form cooperative ventures that depend on ourselves.

    We embrace inclusiveness. Treat everyone with dignity and support. Always keeping our eye out for beneficial unions of people and ideas and resources.

    We embrace systems. Groups of people can learn to be better at achieving what they set out to do. Groups of people can learn to create exchanges and movements built on solid organizational foundations with formal techniques of mediation and oversight to ensure SLANT does not rule.

    Y Worlds intends to be such a place. Knock on wood.
    A commons enterprise that can be whatever you make it.
    Y Worlds. Come on in from the cold.

    The English language offers us a family of words to define, describe and communicate the construct we call Truth.

    Some of the words English speakers use the most are:

    Truthful- True
    Accurate
    Honesty
    Facts
    Proof

    Not Truthful- False
    Inaccurate
    Lies
    Fiction
    Speculation

    At Y Worlds, we reframe the constructs pertaining to truth and falsity.
    First, we begin with the idea that the words listed above are human centric. Outside of human centric is a construct we call “What Is” – Matter:Energy.

    We use the Y Person model and the comprehensive Y Worlds Models to consider anything human centric.

    Suppose a tree falls in the forest.

    If no human detects this event, it becomes “what is” until a human enters the picture.

    Corporal
    If our person sees the tree fall, the event is processed and enters the corporal being.

    Subconscious
    It becomes a signal if recognized subconsciously. It remains noise if not recognized subconsciously.

    Conscious
    It becomes a point of information if it is processed consciously. It becomes knowledge if it is stored or connected for future use.





    What happens next makes this interesting.

    Do others believe this person when the story of the tree falling is told? Why? The details of “What Is” such as the type of tree and where and when the tree fell, open the door to greater complexity. Explaining why the tree fell brings the story fully into the world of systemic complexity. The implications and meaning of the falling tree require complex systemic forecasting.

    Without going into detail, we can use the Y Person model to represent what a person senses, what they know, how they know it, and through what organizational schema do they make sense of it all.

    We can then use what we call a Proof Process to compare what is going on within that person to an objective third party perspective that considers everything pertinent, every relevant viewpoint, every piece of evidence and understanding, and every way to explore the alignment between what is going on within that person to what happened with the tree.

    If the person lied about sensing the tree falling, it means in our models that the person DID sense and remember the tree falling, but their intent was not NETS based, and their choice was to not accurately describe what they knew to be fully valid.

    If the person heard what they thought was a tree falling but did not witness it, and said definitively that a tree had fallen, we call that a process lie. A Proof Process to determine the person’s processing accuracy associated with the speculation would need to be undertaken, along with a Proof Process of “What Is” – a full processing of the scene of the tree, of all evidence, and of all knowledge pertinent to the confirmation that indeed a tree had fallen, and whether the sound of the tree falling was or was not the specific tree that had been identified.

    If the witness to the sound, instead of speculating about the link between the sound and the fact that a tree fell, conducted the full Proof Process themselves, and offered a level of uncertainty and a systemic evaluation of the entire palette of information, then that person could be regarded as truthful, accurate, honest, factual and trustworthy. If the witness plugged their ears and covered their eyes so they could not sense the falling tree, or any of the systemic context, that would be a process lie.

    If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, it is noise in a world of human signal. But if the tree falls on a critical power line grid and causes a catastrophe affecting millions of people, it becomes signal and begins the complex process of thought focused on a falling tree, its cause and consequences.

    If that falling tree was instead a major environmental cause of disease, a major contributor to global warming, a major reason jobs are rapidly decomposing or the single preventable cause of hundreds of billions of dollars spinning in closed cycles of uselessness, then we must face a painful truth. A process lie is a true lie.

    Newton’s First Law of Motion: Every object continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless compelled to change that state by external forces acted upon it.

    We are all objects of a sort.

    In groups, we are the most powerful creatures on earth.
    Alone, we are one among the creatures of the earth.

    Together, with access to knowledge and resources, we can move mountains of opportunity.
    Alone, and at rest, we tend to stay at rest.

    As families and tribes, we move toward common goals.
    Alone and in motion, we tend to keep in the same motion along a familiar path.
    As civilizations, we dance down roads not taken to the beat of unfamiliar sounds.

    Relationships are external forces.
    Our own conscious is an external force. It operates outside of our inheritance and experience.
    We are the forces that create motion, direct motion, and accelerate motion.

    At Y Worlds, we are building a world. A compassionate, sustainable, scalable world.
    We are, after all, a Cooperative.
    With an evolving universally adaptive systemic language.
    With a peer to peer based theme of shared wealth and resources.
    With a rebuilt knowledge engine powered by a mediated systemic wiki.

    What differentiates Y Worlds from every previous attempt to engage the human potential?

    We are going to operate and grow right before your eyes through Y Worlds.
    We are inclined to think very big in terms of scale and impact – global – universal – sustainable.
    We are going to focus on developing strong and vital peer systems

    We have 3 very big ideas:
    An empowering new systemic language to understand and organize
    A compassionate cooperative framework powered by Nurture, Equality, Truth and Systems
    A high value meta exchange that is free to every individual on earth,
    and generates commons wealth
    (via commercial use patents, licenses, partnerships, trade, investments and intellectual
    services)
    to distribute among us – to sustain and vitalize and gift

    Our scale: Meta
    Our models: Universal
    Our objective and process: NETS
    Our value added: Semiotic & Systemic Revolution
    Our organization: a Free Sharing Commons
    Our currencies: knowledge, $, trade, legacY, Y Notes, commons assets, compassion, trust
    Our action: Mass & Person
    Our mechanism: eMotion
    Our return on investment: Meaning, Comfort and Vitality

    What do you want?
    What do you want!

    I want to be connected with everything that controls my life.

    And then I want to take back the controls.

    I want to be disconnected from everything that controls my life badly, everything devoid of Nurture, Equality, Truth or Systems.

    I want every established institution and organization that I deal with to treat me and everyone else with Nurture, Equality, Truth and Systems.

    I want accurate, honest complete information.
    I want more than a little R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
    I want a well intentioned, well trained human being to talk to.
    I want to interact with a person that wants to help me.
    I want complete documentation for every exchange and transaction between me and them.
    I want the rules of the game to be clear from start to finish. No surprises!
    No fine print. Only transparency and clarity.

    And I want a world that works for all of us.

    ———————————

    This is what I want for me. And if you like the idea, then for you as well. And if we add hundreds, thousands and hundreds of thousands of people together, and we put our knowledge, our skills, our money, our power and our energy together, we not only become connected with the forces that control our life. We become those forces.

    We do not have to plead for compassionate bankers.
    We do not have to plead for accuracy and honesty, for integrity and respect.
    We do not have to do good things only for free, and less good things for money.
    We do not have to hope a politician votes to take care of the sick, to enable everyone to vote, to include the disenfranchised…

    We build a franchise, a cooperative, within the existing world that is based solely on Nurture, Equality, Truth and Systems. We pool our knowledge, we shape it so it works, and we use it to empower us.

    And we begin to stop supporting everything, everything, everything, that is motivated by profit alone, by self interest alone, by some winning their de-nurturing battles at all costs.

    Y Worlds is a new venture that represents a way to bridge our current life with the life we want.

    We start with understanding. Systemic models. So we understand before we act. So we can communicate effectively the complexity of how the world works.

    Then we act. We build. We help. We invent. We invest. We partner. We communicate.

    We demand transparency and a Proof Process with a rich participative commons. We call it a world within a world. Y Worlds.
