Towards Alternative Possibility(TAP)
Help me save the planet
Possibility 1 — The problem
If something needs to be saved, then that something must have a problem. At this exact moment in human history, our world has many serious problems. They all interconnect too. But are they all connected to one core?
What if our universe is much simpler than we all think? What if everything that exists in our universe exists for a simple reason? Imagine this ratio as the core of our universe.
What if ‘the problem is very similar to the central objective? The problem is the goal. The problem is that the goal is impossible to achieve. Especially since the lens is something dynamic that constantly changes in time and space.
Possibility 2 — The core
What if the core objective is truth itself? But not anything static in form — instead a dynamic form of the truth. Some continuous never-ending structure of representing and presenting the truth.
This is why TAP exists — to provide the tools for both generating and communicating this new form of truth. The story of TAP contains a core that is described as the ‘truth pursuit.’
Possibility 3 — The Approach
TAP assumes the truth can never be fully attained. TAP also assumes no one fully can speak the truth. Instead, all we can do is tell a story of what might be the truth in the moment. The ‘we’ being all of humanity. Or better yet, what if the ‘we’ included all the probable lifeforms of our universe — with evolved intelligence. Going another step further with the ‘we’ concept… what if life forms were not even required? What if intelligence was the only requirement? So now ‘we’ and the truth can include concepts like Artificial Intelligence (AI.)
TAP includes a whole new form of AI that will change our world. And the change is hypothesized to bring about great improvement. Though this will for certain be the next great debate in our world.
Possibility 4 — The Starting Place
Where does TAP begin?
TAP starts by tackling the specific problem of mis- and dis- information.
You’ve obviously noticed that today’s world is inundated with bad information that is generating great amounts of misunderstanding. This misunderstanding has skewed both truth and facts. Our world today is almost entirely built atop a foundation of non-truth.
What our world needs more than anything else is a new reference source for ‘important information.’
Possibility 5 — Important Information
TAP defines ‘important information’ or ‘important info’ as info that is used to establish belief and/or to help with decision-making.
TAP is not so interested in all the other forms of information. TAP attempts to create a new focus and emphasis on both the generation of and communication of this specific type of info.
Possibility 6 — Info Seeker
TAP’s solution includes clearly separating ‘info seekers’ from ‘info providers.’
Today’s world is designed to advocate and help the providers more so than the seekers. The providers have more power.
TAP flips around the power of these two groups — giving the greater power to the seeker or the consumer of the important information.
Possibility 7 — Info Authorship
In today’s world money and power take the control of the creation and dissemination of important information. The people are the seekers and consumers. The rich and powerful are the authorship groups of the important information.
TAP changes the model by changing how important information is generated. TAP improves things with a solution that allows everyone to control who they want authoring the info.
Info authorship control is one key handed people to bring about world improvement.
Possibility 8 — Authorship Possibility
Imagine a world with important info base structure that contains just two structural objects:
- Individuals
- Groups
Important info can come from individual minds or group minds.
TAP’s solution allows the info seeker to specify any combination or choice of one authorship entity.
Now imagine a world where every individual mind and every group has a voice. A voice that always exists, so it can always be available to be called upon in the context of being utilized within an authorship entity — as a lone voice or as part of a combined voice. This is how TAP works. ‘You’, as an info seeker/consumer have 100% control over specifying who ‘you’ want authoring the info ‘you’ seek.
As this pertains to individuals and groups, ‘you’ can specify any available entities that exist in the overall structure. Any one or any combination of multiple entities.
Possibility 9 — Guaranteed Voice
So how can anyone in the TAP structure have a guaranteed voice?
The simple answer is by way of TAP AI.
TAP AI is the solution for how to deliver guaranteed voice for individuals and groups.
Guaranteed voice means that a voice can be created in the absence of thought and work effort to generate the voice. It means when called upon to provide ‘your’ voice — ‘your’ voice can be established without ‘you’ needing to do anything more.
With TAP, guaranteed voice is made possible with a very simple solution process. TAP calls this process ‘TAP mirroring.’
Possibility 10 — TAP Mirroring
With TAP, mirroring one’s voice is as simple as specifying who ‘you’ want to mirror or in the specification of who ‘your’ voice will mirror. Then ‘your’ voice is simply the perfect mathematical mirror resultant of all those you specify.
TAP mirroring is exactly the same as info authorship in the context of seeking important info. The best info one can seek in the TAP tool is that which we would voice ourselves to others. This is the heart of TAP.
Reality has a tremendous negative impact on participation and contribution of our voice. TAP was created to reduce and even eliminate this reality of today’s world. With TAP, TAP AI and TAP mirroring, now we can all provide our voices.
Possibility 11 — TAP Info Objects
TAP comes with a whole new form of important info object. The object is most easily understood as a possibility priority list. A rank-ordering of all logical possibility that fulfills the intent the list seeks to fulfill.
With TAP the intention object is called a ‘case.’ The product object of the case is called the ‘list.’ Both together are referred to as a ‘TAP case-list’ object.
TAP’s case-list objects make possible all the new innovations included in TAP.
Possibility 12 — TAP Agreement
When it comes to generating and communicating important info, TAP focuses and emphasizes agreement over disagreement. The TAP case-list object naturally generates agreement any time any two or more entities combine their voices.
But not just one form of agreement — instead two almost equally but opposite forms of agreement. These two forms of agreement naturally show up at the top and the bottom of the rank-ordered possibility priority lists. TAP calls the top list zone items ‘positive agreement.’ And the bottom list items ‘negative agreement.’ As a group, especially, being made aware of both types of agreement is doubly important to establish as a great new reference of important info.
Possibility 13 — Group Voice
Though TAP advocates first for the individual mind, TAP is all about encouraging that happier mind into like-minded groups — where then the individual cam equally contribute to the voice of the group. Group voice is simple given the TAP case-lists and TAP mirroring.
In the TAP group entity no individual is ever an obstacle or a leader with more power than any other group member. The group voice is the perfect combination of ALL group member voices — be these voices mirrored or contributed via direct thoughtful input.
The TAP tool and process prevents any group member from becoming an obstacle — because there’s no way to stop the automation built into all of the group processes.
Leadership of a TAP group comes from thoughtful creative contribution. In the TAP tool, most group members contribute by way of mirroring. Few find the time and energy to fully engage in both understanding the case and providing thoughtful and logical prioritized possibility, but those that do automatically take on a new form of leadership role. It’s kind of similar to the theoretical democratic process of today’s world.
Possibility 14 — Adul Voice
Imagine all kinds of different groups existing in the TAP world structure. You find the one or two or three that make you most happy. In the TAP world structure are groups of every different belief, understanding and set of values. Happy groups composed of like-minded members creating their own unique identities and voices with case-lists.
With everyone playing harmoniously in the same sandbox, TAP can easily combine all individual voices into a single voice of participant contribution. This voice TAP calls the ‘Adul voice.’ It’s the voice TAP emphasizes all the time in the tool. It’s a very important reference that does not yet exist in today’s world.
If and when enough global citizens participate in the TAP platform, then the Adul voice becomes the voice for all of humanity.
Possibility 15 — Voice Comparison
In the absence of absolute truth, with the TAP tool, we will be able to learn and understand by comparing voices. Throughout all of life, each unique mind will continuously be exposed to how their own voice compares to the one voice of humanity. This happens with a simple side-by-side comparison of list items. With a focus on the top ‘positive agreement’ listing, this zone teaches everyone where to start to begin to formulate best next step possibilities.
Our world rarely consists of just two polar opposite choices. Almost always the best possibility exists at some balancing point between the two extremes. TAP finds these compromise points automatically without fighting over who is right and who is wrong.
Today’s world encourages fighting. It makes almost everything a competition to establish a winner and many losers. TAP flips this game objective around. Imagine a world where the vast majority of players feel they win with whatever emerges as the balancing resultant that exists in the one group voice. The only losers are those who are self-righteous.
Possibility 16 — The Game
So what do players do in the TAP game?
The #1 objective is to maximize ‘your’ happiness.
For those who are willing to put in the extra time and effort, the big challenge is to become a ‘Mirrored Thought Leader’ (MTL.) This is someone who others look to for their deeper understanding of the more hidden truth behind the perceived reality of the day. Someone willing to understand the case and provide best possibility options to fulfill the intent of the case. Then to compare all accepted options and rank order them all relative to all others. And to repeatedly update lists as new options emerge in time.
These MTLs will tend to be deep thinkers — creatives, philosophers, futurists, mathematicians, scientists and engineers. People who are less self-centered and more about the good of everyone, especially those of the future.
Imagine a near-future world where no longer does wealth, power and politics dictate what is truth and reality. Instead our world is far more fact and balance based.
Possibility 17 — Process vs. People
TAP is designed with the understanding that people will always try to cheat the system. The TAP system or set of TAP processes is designed to prevent people from hijacking or tampering with the system that works for everyone equally, especially those of the future.
The problem with today’s model is its design that allows a few to cheat. This is because the selfish actually designed the system. They included the secret designs of backdoor control, limitations for the masses and override rules when something unexpected emerges.
Possibility 18 — A Special Happiness
About a decade or so ago a discovery was made about a special type of happiness. Unlike other forms of happiness, this particular one connected directly to the TAP proposed purpose of the universe or the truth pursuit. This special happiness was discovered to be the reward for the work effort. And this truth pursuit was discovered to be subconsciously included in almost every communication attempt between all humans. So it’s something built into our DNA and our core innate drives.
The discovery explained other phenomena, like why socialization is so important. Also why most humans will do almost anything to become a celebrity within society. Both directly explained by the truth pursuit and its happiness reward.
Every one of us seeks the truth. For with the truth comes the very best opportunity for understanding and survival. For taking the best care of our children and passing along to them the very best education and experiences. We are less likely to be taken advantage of knowing the truth of the world. And we can best plan for the future knowing the truth about the whole universe.
And every step of the way we can attain more happiness as we figure out what is truth vs. non-truth. Both discoveries help us almost equally too. We can attain more happiness even when we discover something is not the truth. Because the understanding of non-truth is in of itself a better understanding of truth.
Possibility 19 — Personal Truth
TAP recognizes that we all formulate and carry within our own minds a truth that we believe to be the truth of our world and universe. TAP refers to this as our ‘personal truth.’
Many different forms of information comprise our personal truth:
- Facts
- Experience
- Memory
- Reasoning
- Logic
- Intuition
- Emotion
All these can include components of misunderstanding and non-truth scattered within the otherwise truth components rendering the overall info component as non-truth.
Personal truth as one entity is ALWAYS composed of non-truths. There’s no individual mind or group in the world who understands and communicates the whole truth.
TAP exists to generate a better educational reference for that which attempts to come closer to that which might be the truth. NOT truth itself — just maybe closer to or containing less non-truth.
Possibility 20 — TAP’s Truth
There can easily exist one single case that asks participants to co-create truth statements. Then we all just sit back and enjoy the show of what emerges in time. What emerges will be a rank-ordered list of statements that most participants believe to be truth because they can be accepted as their own personal truth.
The prioritization of statements that emerges in time becomes especially important. There will always be some degree of doubt across all participants. This doubt gets expressed mathematically in the TAP tool. Or looked at the other way around TAP truth can be expressed as a percentage of no doubt, which would be a value of 100%.
The one truth statement that emerges at the top of the priority list might have a value like 99.993%. The #2 truth statement might then have a value like 99.992%. So forth and so on — all the way down the list of possible truth statements.
At the bottom of the list, that last statement might have a value like 0.005%. This translates into very few participants placing that one statement above the last position.
Possibility 21 — Balance vs. Perfection
TAP encourages minds away from perfection. Perfection is impossible when it comes to complex concepts like belief and truth.
Instead, TAP encourages the search for balance. Balancing in the context of belief and truth, with TAP, has a lot to do with better understanding than honest and logical understanding. The trick to better understanding is to evaluate all the underlying honestly expressed logical possibilities.
There is no co-created statement of truth that is ranked number one for each participant. Trying to co-create one would be a huge waste of time, as this is the pursuit of perfection. The trade-off, on the other hand, is simple to look for the statement that will get the highest TAP assessment value.
Possibility 22 — Evaluation of the agreement
Those truth evaluation values mentioned in Possibility 20 are simply “agreement evaluation” values that may exist for each TAP case list that will be created in the TAP tool.
These values can be established in the moment, but perhaps most important is the story they tell over time. Do they tend to remain stable or do they change as major events and new discoveries occur? Individual reference stories teach us a lot about humanity at any point in history. What impact do major negative events have on our overall thinking, values, and priorities? How do new innovations and new discoveries impact our imagination of the reality of the new future?
The concordance assessment can be examined as a whole or as a subset of the whole. And you can make comparisons on the difference according to.
It is also important to note that although the lowest possibility items have low values when evaluated as positive possibility, the values can easily be changed with the opposite question: “Do I agree that these items are the worst?” Just subtract the numbers from 100 to get the values for this other agree question form.
