Transitions Old Power failing •  The Economic Crisis of 2008, seen by Prof. Carlota Perez [3] ; blaming •  Complexity ? Dynamics? Non-Lin.? •  Bureaucracy and controlaholics, Ashby’s Law = limit. Central simplification? •  Fast outdated knowledge ? •  Universities, Science? Education? •  Endless meetings Zero-sum fights •  Advertising and propaganda •  Top – Down command & control? •  The time tested structure of the Central Control Hierarchy is no longer sufficient to cope. •  Divide, polarize, isolate, Exclusion ============================== •  Decentral Alt: Diaspora*? ; HoloChain? Ello ? Telegram?

New Power [2] participation? HOW? •  Hints in iGod book [1] Dicke &Helbing •  Alexander von Humboldt, vision Nature[4] •  Santa Fe: adaptive organisations •  Trans-disciplinary Cooperation •  Trans-Tribal Cooperation, Festivalisation •  AVAAZ movement vs Facebook •  Wealth creation by multi-skill teams •  Rebel Cities, P2P Foundation, •  Nature: ant hills, swarms of birds, bacteria colonies, groups people? •  Collective intelligence + distributed authority ? European Republic: City areas •  Online health communities: fluid dyn [6] •  Trusted super participants bringing divided society back together: Synthecracy. Emergent Value: Synergy •  Bottom-Up ? No: SIDEWAYS P2P Flow •  Combine, interconnect, Inclusion •  Hong Kong students + FireChat app

What is the Problem: In the ComplexiTimes of 2018old hierarchical organizations can no longer cope. (Napoleons Army) ----Closed, Simplifications-----

§  Too many levels of management§  Decisions Too slow (reaction time) §  Inward looking Command & Control§  Endless meetings, present/approval§  Filtering (bits, simple, good news)§  Upwards information (aggregates)§  Downwards: instructions§  No overviews, no explanations§  Could not communicate with lower layer employees NOW WE CAN !! (networked transparency)

§  Central Overview (model) Too simple§  Out of touch with reality (bus. process)§  Confirmation of “working” model only

(prejudices); Push R&D à market§  Cannot cope with unexpected surprises§  Vulnerability§  Organization does not Learn, innovate §  Talent and creativity wasted§  Does not scale up well§  Cannot cope with diversity §  Middle management, admin jobs ??§  Competing silos, power struggles, non

sharing, does not work.§  Both young & innovative ignored, excluded

Business Process

External:Complex Reality

Silos

Value chain of partners

The battle for POWER: nation state authoritarianism vs democracy

Hierarchies with central authority and vertical control are outdated. They can no longer cope with the complexity and dynamics of modern civil society.

Dictators and their bureaucracies still try to hold on, to CONTROL reality. ---- Instructions, Commands, Propaganda and Advertising have weak network effect V~ N (eyeballs). Who said that before: Erasmus, Luther, Spinosa and many other scientists. Can we (re)build a worldwide DemoCracy? (demos = population), CONSTRUCTIVE + NON VIOLENT Yes! RELIGION { RE – LIGARE} = RE – CONNECT between people ---Participation and Cooperation of skilled contributors has a much stronger network effect V ~ N ! (factorial, Van Till’s Law). What can we DO?

Urgent: We should INTERCONNECT and cooperate better, de-central with shared moral values & shared objectives, learn and evolve together [8] Many have indicated that that is the priority: Parag Khana, Peter Diamantis (towards “meta-intelligence”) Joshua Cooper Ramo ([7] Book: the Seventh Sense. HOW? My “Telescope Metaphor” shows the direction ==è

•  How can we together Collect, Share and Create MEANING ?

•  By INTERCONNECTION and SYNTHESIS !

•  Remember “Renans Law”: Everything wants to Interconnect

Scaling of Weavelet to construct Distributed Authority. (cc) Jaap van Till (vantill @ gmail .com) July 30, 2013 at OHM2013 (Group Collective Intelligence based on Cooley-Tuckey connections) 10

NewPower Structure of connected people in a Weavelet FLOW of IDEAS and Imagination for Collective Inttelligence

connecting & combining people, as diverse as possible

solving problems, changing things acting learning connecting with other weavelets (10^10) and Nature.

Sensors aggregation pattern matching, correlation extraction of patterns synthesis pattern memory combinations ; sorting of stack fractal repetition of transformation to orthogonalize(agnostic issues) holographic models inverse transformation

everybody has the overview and can participate and learn (learning curves) it is nowhere and everywhere ; can cope with complexity.

Harness energy of the connected crowd

Spread values and ideas, create value, skilled and competent, appreciation, respect

Parallel, resilient, robust open, transparant

Peer-to-Peer

Similar: •  Brain research [4a] •  Spy agencies syst •  Social Netw platf. •  AI: Neural Netw’s •  Tensor Flow, Deep Learning

Everybody connected with everybody else

Examples: generalisation in AI by Symmetry Transformations(Domingos); IBM “Debater” wider viewpoints

Proposed action:

•  Establish and fund a European Institute for post-graduate studies on NewPower Synthecracy LEARNING FROM AI SUCCESSES & USING AI IN ORGANISATIONS, in one of the Connected Cities of the #Corridoria traderoute.

Why? See: S. Frederick Starr “Lost Enlightenment – Central Asia’s Golden Age-”, 2013. Maybe our role in the Universe is: BENDING LIGHT RAYS
