Two quick thought experiments

1. Imagine you can "see" the relationship between India and Pakistanright now

Imagine you can stand back

walk around it

look up at it from underneath

even see inside it


3/21

2. Touching History--Greece & Turkey

Imagine you can "touch" the last three thousand years of conflictbetween Greece and Turkey

Imagine you can turn it over

feel the sharp crack edges and smooth dents

stroke the surface

flex the strong points

feel where it's weak


4/21

The physical problem & virtual opportunity

The "real" problem is, whatever experience you just had is largely lost.

None of the rest of us can share it verify it, or engage with it.

Right now, it has no objective reality we can all agree on.

But each of these conflicts is very real. And they have both a virtualand physical reality.

And that's the "virtual" opportunity.

What we'll cover in this quick deck

What Peace Data is

Why Peace data is important

The business case for peace

Units of Peace Data: Minimum Acceptable PeacefulInteractions

Using aggregated peace data to make a Social Energy Map


6/21

Think of peace in terms of engagementbetween two people with a difference

This is how we've done engagementfor most of

human history


7/21

But recently, more and moreengagementis mediated by technology.

That creates data,

Peace data


8/21

Peace Data looks like this

Peace Data Structure

Person A does a unilateral, measurable action, across adifference boundary, to or for Person B

which generates data.


9/21

Peace Data

This is a specific, frequently recurring data structure, which allows usto measure peace:

dynamically

at very high resolution

across massive sample sizes

with extreme precision


10/21

Here's one Peace Data example from our partnershipwith Facebook, at peace.facebook.com
http://peace.facebook.com/


11/21

But this just scratches the surface ofwhat's possible

Imagine if we could integrate and show allthe peace dataon FB. The messages, wall posts, status updates, likes,games played, etc

Imagine if we could go a step further, and include the peacedata from other social software services too, not just FB

Imagine if we could visualize and displaythis data in usefulways, something like the social equivalent of Google Earth

That's what the Social Energy Map project is all about.


12/21

We are formalizing this data structure. We've named these events

MAPIs: Minimum Acceptable Peaceful Interactions

Billions of MAPIs are recorded in tech company databases every day:

A Teaparty Republican friends a San Francisco

Democrat on Google+, crossing a contentious politicalboundary

A Chilean sends a friendly Gmail email to an Argentinian

on Gmail, communicating effectively and crossing thenationality boundary A Coptic Christian buys a sofa from a Salafist Muslim on

eBay, crossing the religious boundary A fifteen year-old collaborates with a fifty year-old on

writing a Wikipedia article, crossing the age boundary John mows Sallys virtual lawn on FarmVille, bridging thegender boundary

Each of these events becomes a precise data point.


13/21

We are formalizing this data structure, and naming these events

MAPIs. Minimum Acceptable Peaceful Interactions


A right-wing conservative friends a liberal on

Google+, crossing a political affiliations boundary A Shiite Iranian Imam sends a friendly tweet to an

Orthodox Israeli Jew on Twitter, communicating

effectively across both religion and nationalityboundaries A Coptic Christian buys a sofa from a Salafist Muslim on


writing a Wikipedia article, crossing the age boundary John mows Sallys virtual lawn on FarmVille, bridging thegender boundary

16/21







nationality boundary A Coptic Christian buys a sofa from a Salafist Muslim oneBay, crossing the religious boundary


On FarmVille, a poor immigrant teenager in Londonfeeds a local policeman' s cows, instead of rioting in thestreets - bridging ethnic, socioeconomic, and ageboundaries

Taken collectively...

These peace data sets can form a high resolution, realtime

Social Energy MapThink of this as the social equivalent of mapping

earthquake fault-lines, or ocean currents, or traffic flow.


19/21

Why This Matters

For the first time in human history, because of technology we can really measure peace - at extremely high resolution- so we can visualize, and model it

if we can measure and map it, we can design for it

using the same ubiquitous digital sensor technology, we canquickly test intervention designs, then optimize and scalethem. As odd as it sounds, Peace can be computational

In other words, we're talking about an engineering approachto peace--rigorous, quantitative, methodical, empirical, data-driven, falsifiable. Ultimately, predictive


20/21

Implications for Corporate Partners

If your company measurablyincreases peace, you can:

create new brand value increase customer engagement, legitimacy and

build customer loyalty

Ultimately, we can create a global peace market, that profits

Humanity Your company Your customers Your local economy


21/21

Look for this data structurein yourcompany

Partner businesses can get certified for how muchmeasurable peace you're creating

Please build it into everything you code: this will eventually

be a revenue stream

Please port it out to help build the Social Energy Map

Please help us find cool ways to visualize it
