Arherring On 5GW

Herring’s onto my thinking on 5GW as the nonlinear total of the actions of billions of actors -

This is how super-empowered individuals relate to Fifth Generation Warfare theory. Super-empowered individuals may choose to follow any doctrine they desire: 4GW, Global Guerillaism, socialism, tribalism, terrorism, anarchism or capitalism. They may apply their leveraged knowledge in the manner that best suits their goals and aspirations.

BTW Shane’s treatment of the generational model in terms of movies is great.

    Under your definition, how is a volcano not a 5GW?

    As far as it goes the world is the nonlinear total of the actions of billions of actors.

    My point in the article is that just because you are a super-empowered individual does not mean you are using a 5GW doctrine. 5GW is *a* doctrine that super-empowered individuals *may* use, but they are by no means limited to it.

    Dan – I doubt you’ll reach the multiplicity threshold sufficient to label volcanoes as an emergent characteristic of billions of superempowered actors existing and doing.

    Herring – Right. The fact that they have other options requires an approach that can examine all. Hence, zooming out makes sense.

    “I doubt you’ll reach the multiplicity threshold sufficient to label volcanoes as an emergent characteristic of billions of superempowered actors existing and doing.”

    Could you rephrase?

    Additionally, are you saying that a 5GW is impossible if it only incorporates the nonlinear total of the actions of 1.99 billion actors?

    I agree with the above.

    Shlok,

    Are you thinking of 5GW in the context of decentralized organizations? If so, even then the members of the decentralized organization (Starfish Organization) are united by a common ideology and/or doctrine.
