<h3>Debategraph</h3>

<p>How to enable a global community of interest to organize together the documents and points of view relevant to their domain – and reach insights and conclusions? Debategraph is a premier system for online knowledge federation, with 25000 maps covering a broad variety of issues, created by CNN, the White House, the UK Prime Minister's Office, The Independent, and the Foreign Office among others. Co-founded by Peter Baldwin and David Price, who have been collaborating on DebateGraph's development on opposites sides of the world for over a decade, Debategraph is evolving continuously towards the fulfilment of its long term vision "for a new medium of public deliberation, communication and conflict resolution".</p>

<h3>Knowledge Gardening and TopicQuests</h3>

<h3>Knowledge Gardening and TopicQuests</h3>

<p>Engelbart's core idea (what he called [[CoDIAK]] and what we are calling the [[collective mind|<em>collective mind</em>]]) is that when people are able to directly interact with the computers, and when the computers are linked into a network, then the people around the globe can think and work together in entirely new ways, well beyond even what sitting in the same room could make possible (he developed the familiar technology to enable that development). Developed by Jack Park and his team, and building on Doug's idea of the DKR, the Knowledge Gardening and TopicQuests are again a combination of a suitable methodology and enabling set of technologies. In 2007 Jack Park initiated the development of the Knowledge Federation community. </p>

<h3>Tesla and the Nature of Creativity 2015</h3>

<h3>Tesla and the Nature of Creativity 2015</h3>

<p>Imagine that a scientist developed a result of very high general interest, and of high potential impact in several fields of science – and wrote an article about it in the technical language of quantum physics. This situation presented itself in reality, and we took advantage of it to develop a complete federation prototype for this type of applications. The prototype has three phases: (1) through collaboration with our communication design team, the article is turned into a multimedia object where the high-level module presents the result in an accessible language of metaphorical diagrams, equipped with recorded interviews with the author to explain the details, and links into the article and the technical details; (2) the second phase placed this result into public awareness, through a high-profile public event and the use of an orchestra of new media; (3) the main ideas are placed online into a Debategraph map, linked with other related ideas, and made available for further elaboration. </p>

<h3>The Paradigm Strategy poster</h3>

<h3>The Paradigm Strategy poster</h3>

<p>How can we connect scientific findings from a variety of fields (in the particular case mostly in the humanities) – and bring them to bear upon our understanding of our condition; and to show the origins and the way to the paradigm that wants to emerge? We'll discuss this poster in more detail in Federation through Conversation, where it will be introduced as a conversation starter. So for now we'll just show it to you and let you explore it for a moment on your own.</p>

<h3>Leadership and Systemic Innovation ISSS SIG</h3>

<h3>Leadership and Systemic Innovation ISSS SIG</h3>

<p>We are here talking about a core challenge – establishing [[systemic innovation|<em>systemic innovation</em>]] academically and in real life, in such a way that it is rooted in the indispensable heritage of the systems sciences. Please notice why Knowledge Federation could not call itself "the transdiscipline for systemic innovation" – the best use of our expertise and professional ethos is to <em>federate</em> the knowledge of the systems scientists properly... Notice why could not, and did not, ignore this heritage. And so Alexander (Laszlo, as the board member of the International Society for the Systems Sciences, the largest global organization of systems scientists) asked the ISSS board to authorize this collaboration between our two communities (the purpose of which would be to co-evolve their own system). They answered "We are not interested", but "you have your SIG and you can do in it whatever you want." And so this SIG became an embryo of a most timely academic enterprise (...).</p>

<h3>Leadership and Systemic Innovation</h3>

<h3>Leadership and Systemic Innovation</h3>

<p>We (the world) may have managers, lots and lots of skilled people capable of keeping the boat afloat for yet another mile. But as this website may amply demonstrate – to be a leader in the present-day global conditions, one must both think in terms of systems (to make meaningful decisions) and know how to transform systems (to really make them viable or sustainable). What education might be suitable? Obviously, this education will need to be developed. A pivotal educational PhD program has been initiated and developed at the Buenos Aires Institute of Technology by Alexander Laszlo. The majority of the hand picked twenty students who enroll in this program each year are already leaders in Argentine business, government and education. Hence the program is already making a systemic impact in Argentina.</p>

<p>The PhD seminar "Doug Engelbart´s Unfinished Revolution – the Program for the Future", offered through the Institute of Informatics of the University of Oslo, makes the creative frontier that Engelbart envisioned and developed accessible to buddying CSE researchers. "We look into the future of IT research, development and entrepreneurship through the eyes of Doug Engelbart, the famous inventor; we survey and explore his not yet widely understood and implemented ideas. Can information technology help us solve global and other challenges by making human systems ‘collectively intelligent’?" </p>

<h3>Movement and Qi</h3>

<h3>Movement and Qi</h3>

<p>A systemic approach to education cannot be restricted to book knowledge alone. What about working with the student's mind and body as a system? And developing that work as a part of the larger system, education? If we would allow "movement" (body work of all various kinds) to be included in the academic repertoire – what sorts of knowledge might become accessible? What sort of courses might be suitable? This [[prototypes|<em>prototype</em>]] also shows how some essential human potential development techniques and insights may be made part of the academic repertoire.</p>

<h3>Visual literacy</h3>

<h3>Visual literacy</h3>

<p>The International Visual Literacy movement is indeed, just as design, an essential piece in the puzzle of the emerging paradigm.</p>

<h3>Addiction</h3>

<h3>Addiction</h3>

<p>While our legislation and our ethical sensibilities are tuned to traditional addictions such as gambling and drugs, thousands of new ones may be created by new technologies. How can we create the word 'addiction' as a way of looking at things, and be able to perceive and identify whole <em>new</em> addictions?</p>

<h3>Power structure</h3>

<h3>Power structure</h3>

<p>This completely central [[keywords|<em>keyword</em>]] federates some of the most basic insights across a spectrum of fields (ranging from combinatorial optimization and artificial intelligence to cognitive science and psychology), to pinpoint a negative trend in our societal and cultural evolution. A salient characteristic of this [[prototypes|<em>prototype</em>]] is that it (just as the one just mentioned) involves [[polyscopy|<em>polyscopy</em>]] in an essential way. A [[power structures|<em>power structure</em>]] is an <em>aspect</em> of things, not a thing itself. And yet we must be able to take care of this aspect ('crack') if our society / culture ('cup') is to be whole...</p>

<h3>Culture</h3>

<h3>Culture</h3>

<p>Another textbook example. Bauman's book "Culture as Praxis" is in essence a survey of about very many historical definitions of culture, with the conclusion "we don't really know what culture means". Not a good start if we should indeed develop culture as ''praxis'' (i.e. as an informed practice). But the point is more general – the traditional way of defining things (when we try to reconcile the stated definitions and say what the concept "really means") no longer work in practice. We need to be able to define concepts by convention – in order to give our institution a (clear, agile, new...) purpose and direction, and then be able to adapt them to the chosen purpose/direction through [[systemic innovation|<em>systemic innovation</em>]]. </p>
