IH + 5GW
Given: Purple’s post is a fun exercise.
Some points to respond to the many comments:
- You can think of invisible hurricanes as potential 5GW. But, like many people said yesterday, what is the value of a framework that includes everything – cancer, rain, roaches?
- Tightening up the framework by understanding the emergent aspect helps build solutions. As opposed to the secrecy layer, which just feels like a bad approach to dealing with complexity.
- The development of SEI’s will likely be the defining characteristic of 5GW. Each SEI is thinking, and collective thinking is done so far as it has been shown in emergent systems.
- The entire generational model is a study in emergence. Study a multiplicity of traits in a data-set of conflicts. You can delineate a generation where there is a notable shift. Each generation just has more actors. (In the future, you don’t fight war, you live it.)
Mark’s got the right idea:
Right now though, it’s all entirely speculative, including my own commentary on the subject.
Oh, and I concede that there was no Wizard in Oz.
