Self Data Ownership – How It Relates To Living Our Life-Purpose

Online data can provide a mirror of our Evolving Self

The following text is a “Reply” at the LinkedIn Discussion Group: Data Ownership In The Cloud.  I started this particular discussion titled: ““Give Me My Data Back!” or “I want to SEE My SELF, so give me my data back, please.” in November 2009 and it produced a lively discussion. Today some one mentioned I mis-framed my question and so I rentered the collegial fray… 

Hello Robin,

Re:  The message that got lost in the framing… allow me to reframe.

My originating presentation is simply about the most fundamental learning and development needs (conscious or not and beyond food, water and shelter) of individual Hu-users – as uniquely gifted and disposed individuals – each with DNA-based, gift-driven “life-probabilities” as a unique “Self” – and how online data (both behavioral and future cognitive and derived meta-cognitive patterning) about each of us can be used BY each of us AND FOR each of us for the explicit purpose of better Seeing, and therein coming to better Know, our innate and natural and potent human Self.

… then the piece went on about what we could do (technologically) to obtain all that Self-data and to ultimately be the holders of the optimal aggregate of that data concerning each of our “data-pictured” Self’s.

If someone else has data about us then why not have that data for us, for the education, mirroring, reflection and the active development of our YOUnique Self…

I am not interested in the unfolding and fighting around current or future Data-Ownership Law – that fight is for all those complementary other Hu-Beings that are gifted and living on-purpose in that world – I am interesting in human and healthier human-systems evolution – in assisting people is seeing and living their lives in a way that is aligned with their innate and natural gifts and dispositions – Gift-driven Autopoietics.

I am fairly certain we will develop data-acq tools for the user to start generating aggregate data acquisition streams and then to compile and be enabled to analyze that query-able “Self-db” and to then become the owners of the most complete Self-behavioral and cognitive “moving-picture” as a “consumer.”

It might be at this point that corp-world asks for, and then pays us for (if we chose to give it up) what they are missing – fuller continuity and a “more whole” picture of the new Us, the autopoietic Us-er.

Many “others” are gathering data-chunk(s) of us but, as individual users as (conscious or not) originators of our own perceptions, memories and resultant actions-as-behaviors we are (or should/can be) in the best position to pull together over time, day-by-day, the very best aggregate picture of ourselves… as we change, and more importantly as we might evolve (or not).

It can only begin the moment that the management our own personal Self-Evolution has value – as that moment each of can see the value of Self-Data collection as a first step in managing our own evolution.

My work is about using that moving-picture in a manner that provides users-as-individuals an evolving measure and moving benchmark of their Self.

You can’t manage what you can’t measure, right.

We can’t change a Self we cannot see. We cannot see our gifts and how we might optimally “BE in life” if we first cannot first see our evolving “Self’s” as we are from one day, week and month to the next (and be fully embarrassed by our personal data-film)

Self-Data acquisition is an interdependent piece of larger whole for me. You can see a facet of this bigger chunk at http://imonad.wordpress.com , my Ecology-of-Mind Blog.

All this chatter conjoins with a number of other parallel, synergetic and emergent human social movements going on such as the new area of Self-Quantification (See Meetup.com groups with that name).

It is only through knowing one’s Innate Self that we can live the “Why” of our lives, why we are here in the first place – living in “significant service” to the world and living On-Purpose through our most potent gift-founded Self.

Cheers to all,
Brian

Our Innate Significance Begets Our Natural Social Purpose – Prescient “EvoLog” circa ‘93…

Prologue
01.17.2010

“EvoLog” is one of many names I have created and used since the early 1980’s to bring new energy and meaning into this subject and typically as an effort to describe an interconnected facet of this very large system of thought… and the now apparently unfolding reality.

I inc’d Psykon Achievement Systems in 1984 with “Psykon” as a word combination of “Psyche” and “Icon” and referring to ”representation of the human mind and spirit.”

This meaning-play with words has always come natural for me. Good thing too. When one is describing a “large and new thing” this language-play becomes a serious necessity as a culture’s lexicon at any given time, and at that time a new large thing comes to life, is naturally incompetent to describe the quality of new-ness of that new and grand thing.

I have not seen this document, which I originally scribbled in 1993, for at least a decade (I am guessing here) and came upon it just the other day (January 5th, 2010) and sent it to my colleague Dr. Lou for grammatic tightening.  It is in thought as it was 17 years ago. I have writings from the mid 80’s that speak similarly and more specifically and am trying to get these into a useable format - old vr.’s of software.

I assume “Evolog” stands for “evolutionary logic” but it could have meant “evolutionary log” Star Date… blahdiddly… (but I doubt it knowing my own mind still).  Anyway the piece is dated - and at times not so very much. I hope you enjoy a few good thoughts and futuristic guesses made with this muddled text of mine – done with such great pecking labor. Yes, a grand and pitiful pity this.

BACKGROUND
(circa 1993 // Palo Alto, Ca – Chicago, Il)

If life is learning why didn’t anybody ever tell us that every time we learn something new we have an insight or an Ah-Ha.

Why was the nature of the most fundamental and measurable unit of life not made known to us?

The market, young and old, systems, individuals, and cultures alike, are screaming for the identification of, and bridge between, a universal language-for-learning and human creativity, and the evolution of social purpose and value.

Restated, we are screaming for enlightenment about the value of our insights over time, so we can better understand and then procreate our personal significance and social purpose in life.

We all learn the same way differently.

Faces Flame

Despite the omnipresent nature of learning in human life no common thread, architecture, or universal language-for-learning has been articulated. Further, and until this time, the critically needed social architecture that bridges human and cultural learning to the creation of social value could not be developed. It is the development of one’s innate gifts, or natural competencies that begets personal and cultural significance. It is the unfolding of our significance that evolves our natural Social Purpose; the wonder of creative learning synergies and ultimately our Value as individuals and cultures.

Since 1985, I have predicted the emergence of the Learning/Evolution Technologies Industry.

The “pure-process” industry that cuts across all human endeavors and therefore markets.

This industry, as yet undefined by the financial markets, has gone from hundreds of millions to tens of billions in less than a decade. In the past generation, our Western oriented educational, self-development, or human potentiating, type products became available to the masses through the immense mail order publishing kingdom of audio and audio-video programs and more recently infomercials.

The exploding world of learning technologies for the development of the mind, body and spirit is physically evidenced by the proliferation of larger and larger shelf and floor space (500% or more) dedicated to the potentiating general education, psychology, health/wellness, spirituality, and business success type product sections in U. S. bookstores in the last 5 years alone. Eastern and Middle Eastern influences on our evolutionary product and service “content” are similarly evidenced. The world of human potentiating software and hardware is upon us with devices that provide myriad forms of bio-feedback; board games that analyze your dreams; self-hypnosis programs; and even food for thought as mind-munchies.

With the insurance industry funding Wellness (Mind/Body), and big business, schools and government buying Empowerment (Mind), we have sufficient evidence to support the readiness for the emergence of an industry that cuts across the social and economic development of all industries – the Learning/Evolution Technologies Industry.

Evolog, Inc. is positioned to midwife the birth of this revolutionary movement.

How we begin to achieve and maintain this leadership position is the real question and the inspiration for this proposal.

Social Media is a Misnomer…

…it is not social media it is psychological media or mind-media.

We are not working on behavior directly. All our marketing and message efforts in so-called “social media” is trying to FIRST change or maintain a targeted Human or targeted Collective-of-Human’s perception(s) and pattern(s) of cognition and,  THROUGH THIS most basic strategy and tactical effort, change/maintain a behavior(s) and a pattern(s) of behavior in the targeted Human or targeted Collectives-of-Humans.

There is the Ah-Ha… and then there is the Oh-No(?)

Ah-Ha's ... big and small...

Abbreviated excerpt: http://letoonz.wordpress.com/2009/10/09/letoonz-and-lewave/

Responses to “LeToonz on/in LeWave”

While I understand the concept, and have felt many of the Ah-Ha’s we have spoken about, I find that I am searching for the “moment” … It is not quite Ah-Ha but it is enlightening and it is a learning moment. There is Ah-Ha and then there is the “Oh-No”(?)

Hi Lou,

Funny that… my father asked the same question when I introduced him for the first time to my work in the early 1980’s.  He asked, ”So what’s an “oh-oh”!

I see these as predictive ah-ha’s with an anticipated down-side – same two syllable utterance though, which I think is a cool connection. This two-syllable, viscerally and cognitively motivated expression (and the two other below), is ubiquitous among all human ethnic populations around the world (… and I’ll prove it someday too. Help anyone? “Ah-so” – Japanese version. We all know that one.)

Ah-ha, “aahhh” and “ha-ha” are the three big primal human utterances (Oh-oh is right up there but 1st cousin to ah-ha I suspect) and many have repeated the work of Arthur Koestler concerning these three.

My take on it is that these three primal utterances we ALL make are psycho-physiologically interconnected, and ah-ha is the result of a juxtaposition and combination of what happens within us when we experience aahhh and ha-ha together.

(Lateral shift… ) What I find amazing is the “social” choice people make to NOT overtly indicate or express the fact they have experienced and insight. It appears we are “cooler” folk if we hold back acknowledging the experienced and fact that other human beings may have assisted up in learning something new. Amazing, huh.  Typically a male phenomena but I am sure women are just as adept at choosing not to show they learned anything new from anyone, in other words we prefer to not show our human-ness. Now these same “knew-it-already’s” (Not!)  will no doubt say “ah-ha” and “aahhh” and ”ha-ha” out loud if it serves their selfish strategic motivations… to get ahead in their own wicked way…. It all depends on who is there to embrace, impress and connect to, like the Boss, a new client or new “friend.”I

t is as if learning something new from anyone else is something less intelligent, unprofessional and unevolved people do. How ironic. I have seen people actually fight off saying “ah-ha” out loud and in public, to ensure not sharing the collegial connection and social-learning intimacy. It’s sadly, sadly hilarious to me.

It is Time to Measure Our Ah-Ha's and Our Patterns of Insight... Our "Paths-of-Ah-Ha"

I think the minute we begin to share the experience of ah-ha itself in real-time and with others around us or connected to us, and do so overtly, whether it be in a crowded elevator or workshop, office, food store, or elbow to elbow at the breakfast joint countertop, and we directly communicate it, we say “I just had an ah-ha.” Not over jolly or clown-like but matter of fact with the natural grin  that comes with “most” ah-ha’s.

I think the minute we let others (in) know that they helped us, directly or indirectly, in achieving this phenomenal moment-of-insight – big, medium or small - that these moments of personal human “evolution-synergy-sharing” will slowly but surely transform the quality of human consciousness-of-relationship  significantly, forever and for the betterment of all our lives and that of our planet.

A business professional recently asked me to define “Ecology-of-Mind”…

Hi Brian,

Nice blog comment. I am not familiar with Google wave yet but it sounds interesting. I am very interested in further understanding your thoughts about how we can work with technology that helps us to realize and represent our true self more effectively to others while helping us in the “yearning” area to work and communicate more effectively with others on our team or that have a common interest or goal. Many of today’s social networking site like facebook and myspace currently fall short in this key department but I’m sure they will all evolve based on user feedback.

What is your definition of “Ecology of Mind”? 

Grant,

In a complex nutshell (sorry) my interpretation of “Ecology-of-Mind” as a movement that affects each of us personally, our families, society, why and how we make money in the future, etc… concerns a framework bounded by three synergistic assumptions-as-realities:

1) The design and the development of technology is innately motivated by the design and function of the human brain.

2) This motivation is founded on our innate and natural need for a certain Mind-to-Mind and Minds-to-Minds and Mind-to-Minds quality of human connection and working and life relationships… that “quality” that motivates the mind to create technology to better connect each of us to the other as potent partnerships and collectives thereof.   A “naturally harmonic ecological system of minds”, a certain optimal global connectivity as human tapestry exists today, everyday and right now. This “EcoMind potential” is constantly and innately motivated to discover and produce fuller and more amazing human synergies – sooner, with less friction or barrier, more often, and maintain each for its fullest natural time.

3) The only element of the equation gone under-developed is us, our innate Self. The idea of a human being living their natural gifts from the get go. Not what we have done or do now but what we are born to do. This is the question we are considering now as a system of minds, led unknowingly by a world of minds, as we create technologies and software that helps us better known and see our innate, natural, real or TruSelf. A scary proposition really. Imagine if you failed at being all of you?

This is “The Great Yearning” we all have as a sentient a species. To be part of a potent web of meaningful work and people to do it with… to be unique and make a significant difference with our gifts, our nature, our Self.

This is, I believe, the most fundamental of all forces of human nature – outside of more essential human needs for food and shelter – to YOUniquely create and to do so with others. To evolve. The path is not without curves or obstacle.

An Ecology-of-Mind, if it were real, would demand the discovery, creation, nurturing, effective management and quality of human synergy founded on the clarity of each gifted human Self within the system.

It is the technology, software really, that moves us to insights and action about our Self that is my work…

We haven’t a clue really because we have yet to see this quality of human resonance and human connectivity and purposeful work output in action.

Those of us that have been on great teams know… they have been searching for the fix ever since, but it is more than this. Our awareness of our gifts is a huge step. Heck, an awareness of the fact that we have insights at the moment of insight itself is a huge shift in consciousness.

The proof of novelty. If I asked you to describe your innate and natural Gifts… you would be stuck.

The day you can and everyone else can – and we find that this way of objectively defining our innate Self’s is the new foundation of our dynamic and evolving online Profile – is the day we are connecting in ways we could not even imagine. And I imagine, it is this same day that we are all, as a world of people, resting a bit easier.

To date we have focused on all the various forms of ecology in the last 30 years, especially the last 10 years, all but the one most important to a truly self-sustaining and prosperous humanity. The Ecology-of-Mind is that last undiscovered country, natural resource gone unmanaged, fully developed, smartly maintained and fully funded.

It has been coming and will be coming now more like a Tsunami… big huge swells of evolving change.

“What kind of ????? are You? The Amazing Yearning… for a Real, True, Unique Self.

I actually saw “Asian” fill the question marks as one of the hundreds of newly minted “self-analogue ” quizzes you can take in the social net platform environ and in 100 different languages, where can also secure a sense of – “What kind of dog or drunk or animal or  seaweed… you are.”  These quizzes as a wave and phenomena are a huge movement in the market for these right now… what does this “need” interest and attraction tell you?

Scary Amazing!

So, the yearning increases each day and brings us to the obvious question.

How do we SELF-Represent our YOUnique-ness!?

New words and phrases will begin to emerge as well.  Phrases such as TruU, TruSelf… RI-Real Intelligence, YOUnique… Aha-Moment, Self-Rep, RealU, The EvoReVo!

More and more telltale “lingo” will anticipate an extremely exciting emerging market tsunami. It will come in waves over the next 10 years, with one discreet wave making many of us conscious of its arrival.

Ah-Ha!

This is one of the great multi-decade, era-waves coming to crash our life, family, business and technology shores. Actually it has been knocking since the beginning of human time… it is only now that this particular mass-movement can be born – that the technological and psycho-social readiness is in place to resonant and act.

(There are so, so many instantiation of this coming…)

The interpretive process-model by which humanity can see it’s innate and True SELF more clearly and over time…this is the great and emergent quest.

It is the ultimate purpose of technology – to serve the evolution of a uniquely and individually gifted and inherently and powerfully synergistic collective of humanity and over time… (IMHO)

Let us be conscious of that(!), and in the process, and for the first time, be able to make this idea of Human Consciousness actually cool and practical, best yet, embrace it through discreet matricies of measurable variables and patterns by which entrepreneurs can actually make money and we can actually our personhood as a Self-Evolving!

 The autopoietic possibilities involved in human and “HuSys” evolution and getting our arms around “healthfully” accelerating that process… naturally,

…this is THE next big 50-100 year deal.

Ecology Movement – The natural platform for the emergence of an “Ecology of Mind” or EcoMind

Of all the current social and technological  movements underway the new GreenTech version of the ongoing “Ecology Movement” is the best instantiation and foundation and/or platform for an emergent  “Ecology-of-Mind” Movement.

If “ecology” in and of itself is about natural resource sustainability in all its many massively and sublimely interconnected forms, and about the ability to become more efficient and less wasteful and more sensitive to our environments and our behaviors, and antecedent to our behaviors, our perceptions and thoughts leading to those behaviours. If “ecology” is about about the essence of a human-environment relationship  in order to save this planet, our species on it, and so on…

then…

An “Ecology of Mind” cannot be far behind as the fullest and next expression and last expression of this seemingly ever-morphing eco-movement.

In this authors opinion, the human Mind is the missing link to making such a movement a manfest reality on the plant as a whole. It has always been about the ecology of each human mind and only recently are we finally developing the common social lexicon to speak to this directly.

The Human Mind and Brain is a natural resource in and of itself. It is that which makes “a change” happen. 

It is the most powerful, elegant, complex and sophisticated natural resource on planet earth. It is also the most mis-understood and least utilized natural resource on the planet.  Go figure.

It can be argued, without great effort, that the human mind/brain is the least efficiently managed, connected and effectively leveraged of all other natural eco-resources we are working on conserving, or better managing, or more optimally affecting the inherent synergies of…  etc.  There is some amazing irony to be had here.

We have yet to begin to “directly” act most fully upon, nurture, develop, connect, “synergyze”  and evolve this most basic element in the eco-dance?

Of all the natural resources that need to be self-sustaining, more fully articulated , understood, nurtured, managed and evolved; that need to become regenerative, and then auto-regenerative (autopoietic); that need to be truly and deeply known and discovered and  explored and optimized for the ultimate and glorious survival and evolution of humanity – and as a result – our planet as a whole… it is the human mind and its fullest development…. and in parallel, the finer grain and more optimal connection of synergistic minds…. All this is the next all-consuming wave… a wave that will unfold and enfold without end.

It is the next unexplored country to be discovered but never fully mined.

The Human Mind, and the concommitant result of an ever-evolving, finer grain innate and organic representation of the Human Self and systems of Human Self’s, is the next Ecology…

In my book it is the true Ecological omnibus framework from which current version is actually a subset. And this nested correlation-as-sub-representation will only be seen decades from now.

LeToonz Becomes the new wave in Social Gaming – How-To???

This is an open ended question…

How, if at all, can LeToonz be turned into a massively pop multi player Social Game… most likely seen as a Social Learning Game, or as a Social Evolution Game in hindsight?

Ah-Ha’s anyone?

LeToonz - Get that 20/20 Vision Into YOU Goin'!!!

Tell me your frustrations with others and I’ll show you your gifts.

Ah-Ha

It can consume 20+ years of sharing and interacting and writing to get a message right, or at least a message that leads the listener into the right direction.

For example, “The things that frustrate you the most, and most commonly about other people, tend to be the things that you are gifted in doing… those things you have always done easily and with little, if any, energy or effort.”

Depending on the individual or group I might be speaking with, this is followed by a sentence or examples regarding the relationship between one’s innate gifts and natural DNA-dispositions and those things that are effortless for them to do in life. 

There is also a sociological extent and correlate  ”group ease” or group alignment of gifts and “innate dispositional effect” that occurs in our world and one that affects our perceptions and actions towards others and other groups in the same fashion as it does for most of us individually. 

Which leads back to the opening remark I typically make in these ”street” interactions: “…your gifts and nature dispositions are the things you do without effort*… and as a result you tend not to respect about your “self” ” …because they take very little, if any, effort to do.  It is these gifts and natural dispositions you are born with that you, and most of humanity, tend to value least about who you are as an individual.” 

If it takes effort it has value.  If it takes nothin’ to do it’s worthless. Does this cognitive and social paradigm sound familiar?

The degree you value your gifts may be measured by your patience and tolerance with others as they attempt to do and fail to do those things you can easily perform, physically or cognitively, unless one of your gifts and dispositions is patience. Then again, if one of your innate dispositions were patience, and you were unconscious of your gifts as most of us are, then you would be least patient with those that lacked patience.

* To fully manifest and evolve those innate gifts and nature dispositions, our YOUnique genius, takes a lifetime of effort and great bravery.

WeMe – Human Evolution Metrics & The EvoReVo Is Coming!

“WeMe” – Metrics for the Evolution of Individuals and Humanity. 

 

 

WeMe is about the “we” of society as in “us” as a system of semi-interconnected human beings and the ”me” of society as in “the individual”, and why and how they merge and combined and produce relationships of varying degrees of synergy.  It is also about the WeMe as an evolving system of individuals and how we can affect the quality and speed of that evolution.

 

 

 

WeMe is about a new form of “Self” representation that is Raw, Direct and Natural. 

 

WeMe is built on raw data concerning insight or ah-ha events which throughout our daily lives – It concerns recording and dynamically illustrating these insights and ah-ha’s from the little ones to the Eureka’s.

 

More importantly WeMe is about recording and representing the ”patterns of our insights” over time and then correlating these patterns to what is going on within us and around us… our context, our actions, our relationships and even our thinking… over time. It is our patterns of insight, or what I call our Path-of-Ah-Ha, that we can get a clearer picture of our Self.

 

Oh, did I not mention that WeMe is about coming to know and see and better live our innate gifts and dispositions, and from this, our TruSelf.  

 

WeMe is all a piece of the rest of GET and LeCompany and LeToonz and The Library-of-Masters and The ArteFactory and SynchroNet and The Ageless Child (See: G.E.T. TheVision).  WeMe is simply the first market space I think I can begin to make all the rest come alive and into the market.

 

Ah-Ha

WeMe records our ah-ha’s right from our blackberry or iphone or palm or laptop.  These Ah-Ha (and Flo) tracking uploads are the first step towards a direct measure of your daily growth and, over time, patterns of that growth and development and, over a bit more time, your personal evolution.

 

Remember if it’s about Me then it is also about We, or as it applies to the individual it then also applies to clusters of individuals, and larger clusters and so on until it can represent a dynamic picture of the learning and the evolution of our society as a whole.

In the early 90’s I brought these personal and organizational learning and evolution measurement and representation software ideas into the market to test the water. As organizational IT solutions back then, and for the home pc children and tween market, the WeMe suite of software consisted of: The Ah-Ha Traker, The Flo-Traker and The Diary-(Path)-of-Ah-Ha as seen in the above CD package illustrations.  That was over 15 years ago. At this time I spelled “Tracker” without the “c” as “Traker” to make the phrase more unique.

The idea then was that people would be interested in visual representations, and other cool data visualizations, related to their personal (and human systems as org’s) growth, learning and evolution, and how this life process co-related to other Hu’s on the planet. Obviously, I was too early.  Not so today I’m hoping.

Ah-Ha /Flo Tracking is only the beginning.

If you have seen and read about my LeToonz characters and the topological world they live in called LeCozmos, you will know that ah-ha and flo are 2 of a family of  6 (and more coming) processes or states represented in the evolutionary model or ontology of mine.  In knowing this then you know that this is just the beginning and that many, many versions will be waiting to follow after this first version of WeMe which will be using Ah-Ha and Flo only. In other words, we have a very full pipeline of products to come and it is, and always has been, a matter of picking the best product-place and time to begin, which I think is WeMe and now… and then to pay very close attention to our human users.   

LeCozmos - The Analogue Wave-Space World were LeToonz lives

These Guys will help you find what makes you YOUnique!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What does the very first version of WeMe have to do to be successful?

• WeMe has to deliver, and continue to deliver, unique, genuine and personal value.
• Users have to want to see what they “look like” as YOUniquely measured individuals, and as compared to others.
• Users have to have ah-ha’s through tracking their ah-ha’s that they find valuable for themselves and others.
• Metric visualization has to be outstanding.
• YOUnique metric visualizations per YOUnique user must offer overlay and superpositioning features that are also outstanding.
• Users have to want to share the “experience and the value” with others.
• WeMe data upload has to be very easy to do and very little time to do it.
• It has to look, sound and feel kewl as well as be kewl. 

The LeCozmos topology imagery will become the functional, dynamic 4-dimensional visualization medium. In LeCozmos we have an analogue topological system of evolving imagery that starts with a sign wave that becomes a mobius strip that evolves into a toroid and then into connecting toroids, and ultimately an nth dimensional nested-toroid that represents a singular YOUnique individual.  These toroids will be able to overlay upon each other to measure “fit” or potential human synergy.  That’s the plan anyway.

Making all this happen will take a ton of work and some cash.  The easy part it do start something simply, Versions 1.0-1.5 for example, and build up to this nested toroidal Version 3.0 correlative place.  

  

Version 1.0
Through their socnet interface (iphone, palm, wrist watch, blackberry, laptop, etc) the user enters numeric data that reflects the number of insights or “Ah-Ha” events they have had (or are having) at any point throughout their day (or when a user wakes up with dream insights to be recorded).  Users then have a choice to enter another discrete numeric which reflects their sense of time that has passed since they made their last entry.  Flo data reflects your “sense of time” passing or your experience of “felt-time.

Your Ah-Ha and Flo data entry behavior on your iPhone or Palm or Blackberry (etc) or laptop would be something like this:

• You realize you are having an ah-ha, a series of ah-ha’s, or that you recently had an ah-ha or series of ah-ha’s previously.
• You hit (press, click, speak to) your Ah-Ha Tracker application icon on your “device” touch screen.
• When the app opens you choose/press the icon ”Ah-Ha Rec.”
• The screen opens to your Ah-Ha Tracker image/metaphor which, in this case, you chose to be a series of different pizza sizes - could be shoes, golf links, etc.
• You click the XL Pizza image 1x, the Large Pizza image 3x’s, the Medium Pizza image 10x’s and then hit the “Next” button.
• You then you enter 30 in the new (next) FloTracker screen. (You just made a Flo record stating that it “feels like” 30 minutes have passed since the last time you entered data 2 hours ago.)
• You close your phone and your data uploads to all of your various profile screens in Facebook, MySpace, Twitter (coming), LinkedIn, Hi-5, Plaxo, etc.
• You can check to see your personal YOUnique Toroid and other personal YOUnique evolutionary data graphics online by hitting the Ah-Ha app and choose “MeMirror.” 
• You can check to see everyone else’s, or the We of WeMe, by hitting the Ah-Ha app and choose “WeMirror.”

That’s it, your YOUnique Hu-Metric, or human-metric, record loaded up in 8-10 secs max!

 Version 2.0
This personal evolution-data metric adds up.  It becomes YOUniquely patterned and then it is superpostioned on everything you think and do. Everything you do as-in… places you travel physically; your web behavior and email content; your live meetings and web-meetings and dialogue and texting; your YouTube visits, posts and posts you check out; and most importantly “your own” work and content creation and content affecting work.

More really cool stuff comes alive with your WeMe Ah-Ha/Flo data over time – the “Compares” – comparisons w/Others.  Others that you know; and comparisons with people you cease to know; and correlations to people you do not yet know but that you have complementary and/or parallel “data-relations” with and, and, and…

You and others can, for the first time EVER, actually see and measure your growth, learning and evolution. You would be able to see your ah-ha and flo data patterns merge with your life “doing” and thinking” patterns… and those of others around you and around the world. 

Version 3.0
This is the transformational Version.  Here is where you will be able to go from who you are – based on where you have been – to who you are based on who you are born to be.

At the next level “WeMe” will help anybody who uploads genuine WeMe data discover their unique and natural gifts, talents and dispositions.  WeMe helps us discover and then live our TruSelf and as a seamless consequence, our destined Purpose… On-Purpose.

G.E.T. The Vision_The Artefactory

The Entrance

(Kinko’s on right and Starbucks on the left)

This facet of G.E.T.TheVision was first defined in 1986

 

The Artefactory - Concept Illustration

1) Kinko’s + Starbucks  – I felt was a  non-brainer for an artefact development space.  While working on the business plan I worked at each of these enterprises to  ensure I knew what I was talking about and eventually doing.
2) Digital Desktop Production and Publishing, Digital Video Production and Publishing and Digital Music Production and Publishing all on the first floor… “Artefact-Creation” or “Artefactation” Coaches are available throughout and to all. 

3) 2nd floor in multi-floor open atrium-like interior is dedicated to open air live art booths while offices populate the circumference space of this floor – local small “service” businesses rent Artefactory space to  serve the community.  The make-up of the services provided must reflect the service needs of the community and those that live in and use the Arteactory.
4) Floors 3-5 or more… are for apartment rental and condominiums.
5) The Basement is a dedicated music and theatrical practice rooms.  Looking through a large diameter 20′-30′ ft handrail encircled opening one can look down from the first floor and upon a performance stage in the basement. Quality live musical performances can be experienced throughout the interior of the space as the musical from the basement stage emanates freely throughout the space.  Seating for these performances is available in the basement concert area.

 

The ArteFactory is a key “CONTEXT” facet of G.E.T.TheVision

Future human connections, and humanity as a whole, will be founded on finer grain and more genuine representations of our YOUNique SELF’s.

Taken from the “Membership” section, first scribed in ‘99 and posted on the LeToonz website in 2004 (www.letoonz.com)  and now, 10 years later… coming soon to a socnet and multiple other application theatre connected to you!

 

LeToonz Membership

What Will Be!

This will be the “Evo-lationship” Space!

“What’s an Evolutionary Relationship Space”, you ask?

It’s a record of your YOUnique EvoStyle as it evolves.
In the future and right here, your YOUnique EvoStyle will be re-presented in dynamic, living 3D through LeCozmos geometric shapes.

Your LeCozmos SelfEvolvingImage in your own LeCozmos web universe will be shareable and with it you can discover Synergy Fits automatically and world wide or just down the street!

“How’s that!?”

The LeToonz Membership universe begins with You as the buyer of LeToonz and LeWave product.
You have just gotten a direct, Self-Consciousness shot in the heart and head.
You are now thinking about how you YOUniquely AskYourSelf, LetGo have AhHa’s, DoIt and experience Flo in your daily life.
You are now considering your Selfevolution directly! You are just beginning to walk-the-walkin’ down The Path of the TruYou!

This facet of HoloMind.net will evolve too. Initially it will contain your original yet youniquely formatted biographical data.
What will happen next is we will begin to allow you to upload your AhHa’s.
Yea, you will be sharing your own and unique “Path’s-of-AhHa”.
And that’s only one of the LeToonz EvoProcesses-as-characters and as-experiences you will be able to record and re-present in this never before, 3D LeCozmos web universe.

“So What?”

“So What! Are you kidding!”

What would it mean if you could find people having the same AhHa’s on the same day?
It would mean we folded time in terms of connecting people to people as they evolve. We will have folded evolutionary synergy’s. That’s is the hugest!!!

Never before have a number of things happen prior to this time.
One, you are now co-relating your innate and natural and original Self directly: directly as in real-time, day-to-day and in a by-design fashion using LeToonz and recording your EvoStyle.
Secondly, you are now going to be able to connect and resonate to people who are doing the same (or are complements) and more importantly are an evolving Self “fit” for you…
are synergistic to you in ways you could never have imagined! How tight is that?!!
You are going to be able to find synergistic fits with individuals who share your EvoStyle, have common AhHa’s that day, that week, that month.

Get this. Technology to date has folded time while we do what we have already, pretty much, been doin’. Not what we are born to do but what we been doin’.
Connecting with people along your EvoStyle will fold time in TruYou development.
Fold time within a new, consciously “SelfEvolving” humanity.
Never been done, and there are many “in control” who would prefer it never happens.

Imagine that!

We believe we are our Future through our TruSelf’s founded on manifesting and living our natural gifts and dispositions and innate talents… not our History based on unnaturally developed, peer-pushed talents and inorganic, symbolic and market driven dispositions. Pressure!

Anyway, that’s it for now. Much like the LeToonzBlog I have to go and find out everything I can about building 3D animation, real-time, 3D and shared “cospaces” and 3D avatars and blah, blah… Oh yea, and find world class help to make it so.

Proofs and Instantiations of the Next Tsunami – The Human Evolution Revolution!

 

Proofs in Topology… The Self as a Younique and Comparable Nested Toroid

I am just starting this “The EvoRevo Is Coming!” vision-proof-list” and will attempt to fill it up with more supporting examples.

I have many, many logical (and not so logical but compelling in their own way) instantiations Ican point to and say, “There, you see that! That shows you that it is going to happen for sure!! ” …. and these moments, events, articulated social movements I will be adding are taken from way back in time to more recent social, technological, business and scientific movements and correlated events.

Now… you may have to know a bit about my work to get the drift-design of the following but maybe the bullets will form their own quirky, embracing logic for you… the younique viewer. If the quirky design logic does not emerge for you then there is more than enough backgound materials here to fill in the needed gaps. Sorry, but the chapters of the book are disconnected to a degree or two.

Why? And So What? 

Well, if I die and my life-work does not get out there and into the minds of the masses, or an ever growing niche, and do its positive and transformative “thing”, then I would like it to be know that at least I knew something of significance… that at least I had a meaningful original thought.

Please do not hesitate to share/comment on your own “proof” events or movements that support the emergence of this social and technological evolution – this movement towards the discovery and intentional living of our natural human and truly “YOUnique Self(s)” as borne from our innate gifts and dispositions, and that inherently connected movement of coming to best know and live our Purpose,  our life-work, through that gift-aligned and most healthfully and naturally motivated Self.

It has been, and will continue to always be about “distinction” and what makes one thing unique from another. It will also always be about alignment and identification. What will evolve and change is the nature of the alignment and the basis for it… and the consumer and business expenditures controlled by it.

The quality of human and human systesm synergy is controlled by the quality of the “fit”
…or the fit-ness of the human connection. 
The Qualty of fit-ness is based on the quality of natural uniqueness.

Note to a “colleague of life”

I can always tell when you (and others) are not so busy… you talk more to the world.  Or maybe “we/they” just get something in our craw that just won’t let go until we vent.

In either case I really enjoy theses implicate/explicate-like rhythms -  people’s pulsing in and out with a certain and interesting periodicity – in the socnet spaces. Not so much the people trying to draw up business and/or to impress for the sake of impression; more the one’s who have a “purposeful gift-driven life”, conscious or not, and just have something to say that they have a deeper sense of being worth sharing and now simply saying out loud to the world and from one moment of explication to the next.

The Design (Purpose) of The Internet?

I found this (…while looking for a semi-gift-resonant way to make some money) and had to add my $0.02.

http://baris.typepad.com/venture_capitalist/2009/10/the-internet-was-designed-for-the-pc.html

My Comment:

“I live’n’breathe in the “why” and the “design/purpose” and the technology space – I love it here.

My work and writing speaks to essential and magical pragmatism (Yes, pragmatics can be magical, ask Williams James) of the “why” of the internet” as a function of an innate and unstoppable, although seemingly detour prone, process of individual, innate and gift-based human evolution… and whole human-systems gift-based or gift-centric social evolution, and more specifically, the evolution of 1) an individual and naturally disposed and gifted human mind, and 2) all of these human minds doing that same thing.

… and a “why the internet exists” design/purpose founded on the innate NEED of all these evolving and inherently gift-driven-at-the-core human minds finding fuller and better and more synergy-rich “connecting” along the way.

My innately disposed preference is to think of the internet as simply a mind-mirror and interactive functional projection and manifestation thereof, the human mind. And over time, guess what, it actually looks more and more like a human cortex, this felt-work of connective tissue, of fibrils, like glial cells and dendridic networks, enmeshed and encapsulating directly, and indirectly and over time, all minds on the planet. And these minds “connected” – consciously, most not – are trying really, really hard – as it is what they are designed to do… is their ultimate and pre-ordained purpose – to be all they can be… to be innately and naturally gift-driven and along the way, trying very, very hard to more effectively resonate (socnet) and connect (socnet) to optimizing “partners” along the way, and over generations of our humanity.

It is this fundamental process and direction of human evolving that feeds the evolution of da’Net itSelf, and reciprocally, the further evolution of the natural and innately disposed and gifted human Self.

Nice that the internet helps in all this, and was mirror-designed in fact, for that express purpose, whether we see it as such or not, i.e. it’s purpose within and without and pertaining to the unknown.

Okay, done spewing.

Thanks

“Give Me My Data Back!” or “I want to SEE My SELF, so give me my data back, please.”

Is it possible? Is it Time? Could it be a New Wave in Social Corporate Stewardship(?)

The movement I call by various names… “Give Me My (behavioral) Data Back!” …is a wave-as-swell within a coming Tsunami…which I muse on and on about throughout this blogspace.

As a “coming” or non-manifest tech or new services surge it is, by default, an emergent “development” question, and one that will need answering sooner or later. And now is not such a bad time to start, especially for innovator and entrepreneurs and all who are connected at the hip to that population of creative thinkers and tenacious do-ers.

This is not about protecting me from others, and even from my own lack of awareness about how I may be giving up about more and more information about myself… and doing so using my behavioral and decision-making data.  That is a conversation many others have been working on for decades.

This is about being able to use my data so I can See My SELF, my personal patterns of behavior. This is about being able to allow me to begin to pro-active control CHANGE (in/of) my Self; to allow myself and users as sentient human beings the ability to ask data pattern questions about me, to run scenarios; to project change by adding certain variables to my own historical life patterns; to be able to do personal pattern simulations that show my future Self  and over time…

[Now, are you actually going to ask me why I would want to see my Self, or what being able to access and observe a mirror or videotape of myself  - through data that can show my personal behavioral patterns - would be a good or a positive thing? Good.]

This is about being able to do FOR me what others are doing TO me – to become my true and genuine and real and naturally gifted Self vs. my unconscious little self – the automata with real frontal lobes that somehow over generations has allowed others to manipulate and control, which through a lack of self-awareness and/or general life-apathy, I allow to do.

The moment users can see their Self in a form that allows them insight into their own behavior and engages them in a process of personal and pro-active self-control and evolution is the moment other companies will sprout up and make great ROI’s riding this new wave. These pro-human-evolution companies will profit and they will take the place of many that ironically can’t change their own corporate behavioral patterns, those who stubbornly stick to there profit making behaviors, who can’t shift with the tides and do so directly after the big swells begin to hit home. These old corporations that used our personal and intimate life living data to “control-evolve” us will need to use their own personal corporate life data to change their own patterns, as it is their “thinking and doing” momentum pattern that keeps them dancing the waltz when the music has changed to something with more of a rumba fell to it.

Being able to see one’s self is an essential step in being able to change and begin to learn-to-evolve and change our data patterns.  Mind you, this is a pattern very few “sellers” want us to change, at least not dramatically, which is exactly what can happen and should happen for most of us – a revolt into our TruSelf(s). 

This is the whole Tsunami as Human Evolutionary Wave, within which resides “taking our data back” as a wavelet.

An internal dialogue that surrounds the Question:
Who owns my data? Hey, why can’t I own it?  Could I lease it if I owned it? Okay, if I can’t own it my own behavioral data, why can’t I at least have it for my own personal use? Okay then, if you won’t give it back to me (for all the insane reasons you are telling me) can I go get it for my Self… to use to see myself in the mirror and come to know and then evolve that Self.

Who is the “Me” that would like to have their behavioral pattern data, or all the raw data and over time… the patterns, given back to them: Consumers, Users, Us, We, You, Me our Children (…and collectives therein… could be organizations as well.)

 ”Can AI User Software Agents do the collecting? What would my own guided software agents NOT be able to collect for/about us? What can they acquire for me?

I think this is part of the coming Tsunami, one of the big interwoven swells, and is aligned with the new generation of User Personal-Profiles… dynamic and evolving mirrors and data spaces that become our personal life coaches, our inner dialogue.  This is the next gen as I see it.

So, back to the point to this idea of getting the User (as individual or collective therein) their Behavior Data – you and me, from Safeway (for store) and Home Depot POS to GPS and Google to facebook, Outlook, Farmville, Word, online banking, Google, and then to Starbucks and back again – what do you think?

Let’s assume you think it’s a crazy idea but who are you to judge, and you are a software genius who likes massive and complex and cool problems to solve… How would you go about doing this in terms of???

• Algorithms? (PSO + GP? http://julian.togelius.com/Togelius2008Geometric.pdf)
• User Self-Clouds as processing and storage and “Self-Data” security?
• Platforms involved?
• Designing new users “Self-Data Sharing” e-commerce marketing research and behavioral auto-aggregate (and payment to User) space?
• Parsing and sharing of this new domain of user data among and between other Users? (A whole new dimension of relationship development, filtering socnet?)
• Active collection across behavior data signal/input and storage platforms?
• 4D User data visualization (colorfully nested-toroids are my preference)?
• And so much more.

Yes, this question and also how to help organizations see this strategic and socially evolved move as a wise and socially progressive move for them will help.  They key in selling company on the idea of giving us our data back  is all about unique human life-pattern clarity and coherence – to be able to see not just the tail or toe of the donkey but at last 65+% of the donkey, me, you, the user, customer and consumer – and potentially make MORE money from us. You see, if users get their data back then they can (in aggregate and securely) give it back as a more whole representation of their behavior patterns and of their historically predictable Self and uniquely invariant at times Self… their more total behavioral spectrum.

But… we will have seen it to!

Would corporate, and organizational and gov’t data buyers and analyzers prefer a more whole human behavioral pattern picture that cost them less?

The only person who will allow “the total aggregate” collection, or should be allowed to have the say-so in, the collection of all their aggregate life data is the human being who owns that life or is at least manifesting the behavior (of course many would argue this source of control and could win that argument depending on the jury). So why not give it back to us and then buy it back in a fuller representation than you have ever seen before and at less cost to you, as you can use less to see more.

Anyway, that’s my course grain corporate argument.

There it is, share away and connect back to me if this peaks your interest.

How Much More Proof Do We Need Before We Known A “Movement” Exists?

This is a Churchill Club Event (10102009):

Outsourcing Personal Memory: The Benefits and Challenges of Capturing Yourself Digitally:

http://bit.ly/GBellSaysSo

After 30 years I have found that most of us are not “see-ers” but need to be shown.

As some of you know, I look for “proofs” as market and pre-emergent instantiations of this (my) work in two interconnected spheres: the existience of a tangible and literal Ecology-of-Mind, and what I have referred to since the 90’s as “Evolutionary Technologies.” (See G.E.T. The Vision - http://imonad.wordpress.com/2009/07/31/g-e-t-the-vision-defined/ )

Those proofs-as-indicators (tremors) show that a broad and deep and life penetrating movement is underfoot and that its’ emergence is more wholistic and interconnected than anything we have seen and known before.

I think this above event example (along with many others and in various forms) is just one more concrete representation of two emergent movements that are happening all around us, and acting jointly in a natural parallel and symbiotically process.

1) An emergent Ecology-of-Mind is becoming more apparent and technology is now showing just how emphatically it has been affected in feature, funtion and design through an unconscious mirroring and projection of the human mind upon it.
2) An emergent individual human and global cultural need and tools to satisfy that need is beginning to articulate itself – that being the need to come to know, as in more consciously come to know, our innate and natural SELF(s). Massive social-networking and social-gaming movement are obviously representative (both directly and inversely) of this intrinsically founded human effort, and the innate need of the “human being” to better know its’ true nature, its’ true Self.

In terms of market movements and transformations…stand way back and consider this… Is it not simply amazing that a applied neuropsych PhD may now find themselves building human behavior and adaptive and predictive perception/cognitive data pattern algorithms within a socnet or socgame newco or is in a back room at Google, FB, Hi-5, Microsoft or LinkedIn doing the same?! Don’t you find this career shift at all interesting!? I am guessing you have to have lived outside of the wave to see the wave, or long enough to know it is one of interconnected others in the context of time.

SELF-representation is a good first step, but the ontology of SELF-evolution is missing, and this is what I think I bring to the party.

There is always an inverse and the inverse here is the negative pressure results of not coming to better know, not coming to be more conscious of… our TruSelf.

I could easily proof the validity of my work by using an inverse approach, i.e. “…this is this way because of a lack of equal and opposite positive pressure that would look like this in the market and in our lives…”

But nobody buys those inverse arguments. Do they?

Thanks for listening. Now, let me know if these “movement thoughts” resonate to you.
