Artificial intelligence showcases the power of 4D Star
A.I. Stress-Test Because of the novelty of 4D Star, one must copy-paste the summary into A.I. before posing a question. (Or copy-paste a combination of articles for even more depth.)Questions for A.I. such as ChatGPT or Claude: How does 4D Star constitute a comprehensive model to support a strong and resilient marriage? The nursing Safety Committee wants to decrease patient falls on our inpatient unit. How does 4D Star offer a holistic model for tackling this? How does 4D Star spotlight Roman systemic vitality in the victory at Zama of Scipio Africanus? How can education in 4D Star help prevent cult mentality? How does 4D Star elucidate the systemic dynamics of Wang Anshi’s New Policies reforms during the Song Dynasty? How can 4D Star play a pivotal role in guiding the ethical use of A.I. in ways that promote human flourishing and sustainability? Explain it to me like I’m a 6th grader. How do the dynamic elements and dimensions of 4D Star enable ethical human systems to adapt, thrive, and anticipate future scenarios? Give me a detailed example, based on a sports team, so I can understand better. How can 4D Star help me plan the care of my father with dementia? How did Christopher Columbus‘s discovery of America in 1492 represent a moment embodying qí (奇) in the dualities of the 2D Level principles? Simultaneously, how does qí (奇) highlight the missed opportunities of the Spanish colonial program in the following decades, especially in regard to engaging and protecting the human element? Describe in detail how German society in the 90’s manifested 4D Star systemic vitality, in contrast with dystopian dynamics of East Germany under Soviet occupation. For guiding the cultural and psychological reform of a society marked by cult mentality, rigid ideology, or irredentism, how does 4D Star constitute a comprehensive model? How could 4D Star enhance the quality of public discourse and political engagement? How can 4D Star help with staff not cleaning the microwave when their food splatters, in terms of informing a holistic plan of action? How can 4D Star leverage ethical systemic activity to prevent future wars and foster peace? How can a teacher leverage 4D Star both to analyze the collapse of Venezuelan democracy after 2000 and to enhance the delivery of her course on that topic? Does 4D Star model content and also inform how to teach that content, fostering a connection between subject matter and pedagogy? How could the dissemination of 4D Star foster a cultural renaissance? How does 4D Star uniquely explain the origins of emergent properties such as resilience, diversity, cohesiveness, and trust? How is this holistic insight into human systems vastly more meaningful than merely listing emergent properties as if they were isolated phenomena of indeterminate origin, as seen in existing frameworks? How does 4D Star reveal the scalability and natural power of what have hitherto been loosely understood as “Western values,” while also harmonizing with Eastern insights? If 4D Star is fully scalable and universally applicable, constituting the highest-level meta-paradigm, what profound insights does it uniquely reveal about the underlying principles of living systems? Despite the manifest power and moral imperative of 4D Star, what hurdles might people face in accepting it — in terms of psychology, perverse incentives, or entrenched obedience to cult-like ideology? Marxist-Leninist activists use a certain freedom in propaganda and proselytizing, adapting their approach to current attitudes and issues. But their underlying dogma — rigid and unchanging — condemns freedom in an economic context. Describe how this non-scalability / non-universality contrasts with 4D Star and impinges on credibility. How does the synergistic, fractal dynamism of 4D Star better reflect and address real-world complexities than a linear ‘observe-plan-act-analyze’ type of framework? Explain how the identification of 4D Star dynamics empowers people to thoroughly understand and leverage philosophical insights of Mencius, Sun Tzu, John Stuart Mill, and Immanuel Kant. How does 4D Star clarify the structure of the Tao — as evidenced by the model’s alignment with Wu Wei, Yin-Yang, Te, Tao as One, Ziran, and Pu — bridging the gap between philosophical insight and actionable strategy? How does 4D Star model cognition itself, with its elements and levels mirroring internal cognitive functions like perception, self-communication, the restructuring of ideas, commitment to systemic success, the modeling of future opportunities and challenges, and integration of Enduring Realities? How does this alignment with cognition contribute to 4D Star’s ability to explain its own creation while embodying its own principles and multi-dimensionality? How does this self-referential integrity create a unique level of transparency in ethical orientation? For ethical systems interested in strategic persuasion, how would 4D Star’s ability to model cognition, combined with its ethical transparency, make winning hearts and minds more effective? How could adopting 4D Star as a cognitive tool be as transformative as the shift from Roman numerals to the Hindu-Arabic positional numeral system? No other cognitive tool offers such a coherent and comprehensive approach to analyzing an all-encompassing range of topics, providing unparalleled insight. 4D Star uniquely integrates ethics, strategy, systemic vitality, and knowledge. No other model even pretends to accomplish this, and certainly nothing else could pass the stress-test represented by the questions listed above. revised: October 2024 Brian Luedke MSN RN L’Afrique — L’Europe lafrique.com — leurope.com A.I. summarizes 4D Star and showcases its revolutionary power Artificial intelligence illustrates the amazing potential of 4D Star’s unification of ethics, strategy, systemic vitality, and knowledge.

Citlali Calixto
Citlali Calixto delinea con elocuencia la funcionalidad de cualquier sistema humano ético, sostenible y resiliente En el Congreso del Estado de Guerrero, la legisladora acapulqueña Gloria Citlali Calixto Jiménez, Presidenta de la Junta de Coordinación Política (JUCOPO), habla con autoridad sobre la construcción de sistemas humanos. Calixto asiste a la inauguración de un jardín de niños en el Estado de Guerrero agosto de 2024 Brian Luedke MSN RN Tuxtla.com Una visión profunda surge de la comprensión de la funcionalidad de cualquier sistema humano dinámico y ético. Además de sabiduría y seguridad, esto permite un mayor nivel de felicidad y eficacia a cualquier nivel, ya sea el propio individuo, una pareja sentimental, una familia, una organización, la sociedad o la humanidad. En sus últimas intervenciones, Dip. Calixto ha desvelado cómo interactúan los elementos clave de cualquier sistema humano floreciente, de modo que promuevan el éxito, la sostenibilidad y el desarrollo ético a lo largo del tiempo. “Cuando la sociedad civil se organiza y tiende puentes con las instituciones públicas, se genera una dinámica político-social muy enriquecedora, en la que el bien común suele quedar de manifiesto.” — Citlali Calixto elucidación ORGANIZACIÓN – CONECTIVIDAD – COMUNICACIÓN Las palabras “organizarse” y “puentes” no se yuxtaponen por coincidencia. En efecto, la organización de cualquier sistema humano implica necesariamente conectividad, lo que permita el intercambio de información y la cohesión. La comunicación es esencial por muchas razones: permite aprovechar la inteligencia colectiva, alerta peligros y oportunidades, y transmite la retroalimentación sobre las iniciativas ya en curso. HUMANO – ORGANIZACIÓN Calixto subraya que el enfoque del sistema es el bien común, es decir, valores humanos y desarrollo humano. La frase implica también que el nivel de desarrollo humano influye en la fuerza de esta sociedad civil y de estas instituciones públicas. LEALTAD – INNOVACIÓN Aunque no se menciona explícitamente, la lealtad está implícita como requisito previo. Los actores de la sociedad civil y del sector público tienen que someterse al compromiso de promover intereses compartidos, en un contexto de destino común. Sin lealtad, el sistema no puede generar cohesión y resiliencia. La innovación también está implícita en esta “dinámica” evolutiva en la que se intercambian preocupaciones e ideas durante una comunicación abierta y honesta. LIBERTAD Se refiere a “puentes” entre la sociedad civil y las instituciones públicas, no a la “fuerza” ni a “coerción”, lo que implica colaboración y respeto mutuo. En este tipo de relación, los interlocutores tienen la libertad de expresar preocupaciones e ideas sin restricciones indebidas. SOSTENIBILIDAD A TRAVÉS DEL TIEMPO Al hablar de una “dinámica” que “se genera” a través del tiempo, denota cómo propiedades emergentes como la diversidad y la abundancia emergen de un sistema humano que integra estos elementos. Las propiedades emergentes fortalecen el sistema para la supervivencia y el éxito a través del tiempo. REALIDADES DURADERAS La propia cita describe un patrón de la historia y de la naturaleza. Por tanto, implica que los aspectos interactivos y temporales de los sistemas humanos funcionan en un contexto de fenómenos de fondo eternos o duraderos. Dip. Calixto en el Congreso de Guerrero un sistema dinámico Antes de continuar con más citas de Calixto, conviene resaltar el carácter interactivo de los elementos que ella integra en su enfoque. Los siete elementos del “Nivel 2D” del paradigma Estrella 4D: HUMANO — LIBERTAD — LEALTAD — INNOVACIÓN — ORGANIZACIÓN — CONECTIVIDAD — COMUNICACIÓN Todos estos elementos se apoyan mutuamente y dependen unos de otros. Aquí son varios ejemplos: La libertad depende de la lealtad para estabilidad y defensa, pero de la misma manera la lealtad no puede existir sin libertad, porque la obediencia sin libre elección es un fenómeno servil, no lealtad. La libertad depende de la comunicación para orientar y enriquecer la exploración, pero de la misma manera, la expresión auténtica no puede ocurrir sin libertad. La lealtad depende de la conectividad, sin la cual una relación no puede desarrollarse ni mantenerse. Asimismo, la conectividad se fortalece y se preserva mediante un compromiso mutuo y duradero. La innovación demuestra la capacidad de atender necesidades sistémicas y, por tanto, fomenta confianza y lealtad. Asimismo, la lealtad promueve que las mejoras no sólo se implementen sino que permanezcan centradas en intereses del ser humano. “HUMANO” se refiere a la dignidad humana, el desarrollo humano, los valores y las virtudes. Requiere comprensión de las necesidades y aspiraciones humanas, así como del lugar de esta especie en la naturaleza. “LIBERTAD” implica exploración y variación y promueve la dignidad humana al permitir la expresión, el descubrimiento y el desarrollo. “LEALTAD” es un compromiso entusiasta y duradero. Proporciona estabilidad, mejora la cohesión, aumenta la resiliencia, y — junto con “HUMANO” — garantiza una base ética. “ORGANIZACIÓN” denota información estructurada, recursos, roles y procesos ordenados. Sirve al ser humano pero también funciona con capital humano. Sus estructuras amplían el alcance de la libertad, pero organización depende de la libertad para permitir flexibilidad y desarrollar adaptabilidad. “INNOVACIÓN” impulsa el sistema hacia adelante. Junto con la lealtad centrada en el ser humano, la innovación da dirección y sofisticación a la exploración, y fortaleza a la organización. “CONECTIVIDAD” asegura que el sistema tenga vínculos internos y externos, la capacidad de recopilar información y mantener el equilibrio del sistema. Nutre a la humanidad, potencia la libertad, constituye un requisito previo para la lealtad, y se trata de redes construidas a lo largo del tiempo. “COMUNICACIÓN,” al proporcionar datos, activa la capacidad de organización para estructurar información. También asegura concienciación sobre peligros y oportunidades, y retroalimentación sobre iniciativas en curso. “Nivel 3D” del paradigma Estrella 4D — Sostenibilidad a través del tiempo A medida que el sistema avanza en el tiempo, sus siete elementos generan propiedades emergentes que le permiten enfrentar factores de sostenibilidad en evolución. Estas propiedades emergentes incluyen resiliencia, adaptabilidad, cohesión, confianza y diversidad. La lengua y la civilización también derivan de la cohorte. Todos estos retroalimentan el sistema a medida que avanza en el tiempo. Los factores de sostenibilidad, a nivel de una sociedad, incluirían, por ejemplo, salud de la población,
María Elena Moyano Delgado, universal heroine
A.I. Podcast – María Elena Moyano Delgado Universal Marianne María Elena Moyano Delgado To describe Ms. Moyano effectively is to unveil isomorphic patterns created by the root principles of thriving living systems. To understand Ms. Moyano’s legacy is to grasp the fractal dynamism of resilient, ethical human systems. July 2024Revised: September 2024 Brian Luedke MSN RN SPS.HN Infinite exploration and variation, i.e., freedom, within constraints of evolutionary pressure and the patterns of nature-history, constitutes one elemental force for any living system. Infinite structural permutations; i.e., organization, embracing possible arrangements of information, resources, and methods; within constraints, constitutes another elemental force. Infinite Exploration (Freedom) & Infinite Structure (Organization) In how she lived her life, in how she explored possibilities for her charitable organizations to serve society, in how she sought autonomy for Peruvian democracy, Ms. Moyano demonstrated the harmonious integration of freedom and organization at every conceivable level. However, thriving, open human systems are not a dyad, but a heptad. The 2D Level of 4D Star – Operational Elements HUMAN – FREEDOM – LOYALTY – INNOVATION – ORGANIZATION – CONNECTIVITY – COMMUNICATION These seven elements constitute the inseparable, interdependent, mutually-supportive cohort of operational elements of any ethical human system manifesting vitality. Ms. Moyano demonstrated loyalty to human dignity, human development, values, and virtues — at every level. Her compassion focused especially on assisting the impoverished families of Villa El Salvador (Peru), but her legacy is for all of humanity. Targeted by an extremist insurgent movement that sought to impose tyranny through hunger and terror, Moyano, who coordinated soup kitchens and many other charities, struggled to structure loyalties to her family, her country, and herself. Brutally murdered Eventually, she decided to accept exile in Spain, for the good of her family, but before her flight, she was machine-gunned and her body dynamited by the Partido Comunista del Perú, or “Shining Path.” (In all likelihood, she might have returned quickly anyway, just as she had already returned from several weeks in Mexico.) Ms. Moyano — an incarnation of loyalty to human dignity — represents a formidable threat to any oppressive entity. Ms. Moyano was the kind of magnificent person that can only be described with a neologism. iesi noun. (pronounced “I see”). Derived from the acronym I.E.S.I. – Integrative, Ethical, and Sustainable Innovation. SEE: Life of María Elena Moyano Delgado. e.g., “Everyone is talking about the city’s iesi. The new green spaces and pedestrian areas have boosted jobs, tourism revenue, and city pride.” First use: 2024 The Peruvian press dubbed her “Mother Courage,” which she richly deserves. And yet, this does her legacy an injustice, because she was deeply integrative in her approach and should not be posthumously restricted to a single virtue. She could have been given the appellations Lady Liberty, or Sister Justice, or indeed dozens of others. Truly, she was about seeing people, and collaborating, eye-to-eye — so “sister” would probably suit her better than “mother.” Committed to liberty, she insisted on the freedom to explore, to express herself, to bring people together to exchange ideas for the betterment of the community. SOLUTIONS. Not a final, ideal end-state. Not a restrictive ideology. A consummate organizer, Moyano combined an ability to articulate her insights and vision with a deep emotional and spiritual connection with the community. Connectivity — the links and open channels that facilitate both data exchange and solidarity — catalyzed her collaborative contributions and awareness of human needs, situation, context, and feedback from ongoing initiatives. She correctly and explicitly asserted that her integrative, ethical, flexible and sustainable approach represented the real revolution. Rigid ideologies, locked in their own constraints, stand in stark opposition to the dynamic nature of the revolutionary spirit. “¡Viva la vida!” was her mantra. Few people then understood, or understand today, the contrast between an integrative and a subtractive approach. Moyano brought together ethics, creativity, enthusiastic loyalty, organization, community solidarity — achieving solutions that advance human values. In contrast, others have a subtractive approach that can be described as reductive, divisive. Propagandistic, as opposed to communicative and connected. Cult-like. Oppressive. Obedient, not loyal. Stagnant, not innovative. “If only we sacrifice everything, in the name of our set of ideas / our leader… If only we abolish these particular human values… If only we destroy this demographic group… If only we target this economic class… If only we subtract a bit of money from the account for our own benefit…” Very quickly, any subtractive approach entails the subtraction of freedom, of loyalty to human-centric ethics, of innovation, of honest communication, of emotional (and spiritual) connectivity. 3D Level — Sustainability Through Time 4D Star open systems work better because, as they move through time, their interdependent elements generate resilience, adaptability, cohesiveness, trust, diversity, civilization, and language. These feed back into the system as it progresses through time. The emergent properties prepare a human system to manage arising threats and opportunities. Thus, the system is able to fortify factors of sustainability such as the preservation of freedom, health and education, social solidarity, strategic posture, ecological vitality, and economic vibrancy. 4D Level — Enduring Realities Enduring Realities such as the patterns of nature and history; together with slowly-changing background conditions, e.g., demographic, economic, and cultural profile; constitute another layer of analysis in the 4D Star paradigm. This dimension helps to integrate knowledge and to ensure that decisions and analyses remain grounded in realistic constraints and opportunities and thus, better geared to promote sustainability, ethical soundness, strategic consolidation, and systemic vitality. In her own words… In the text below, where Moyano speaks of the “seeds of power for a New Peru,” she’s referencing long-term dynamics which can improve via sustained ethical and strategic collaboration. “New life,” “new ethics,” and the founding of inventive charitable associations clearly convey innovation. Combining human-centric commitment, an open mind apt for exploration, solidarity, and honest communication, human systems can restructure ideas, resources, and processes to uplift human development and systemic resilience. Vecinos, la revolución es afirmación a la vida, a la dignidad individual y colectiva; es ética nueva. La revolución no es
La maravilla de la moderación política
La maravilla de la moderación política La política responsable y pragmática corresponde al paradigma cuatridimensional Estrella 4D El esquema izquierda-derecha, una distorsión unidimensional, no sólo es simplista y engañoso, sino incorrecto. En retrospectiva, resulta sorprendente que en el año 2024 la humanidad — incluso los llamados “grandes pensadores” — siga atrapada en un paradigma unilineal. julio 2024 Brian Luedke MSN RN Tuxtla.com El paradigma Estrella 4D demuestra de manera concluyente por qué esta simplificación excesiva es profundamente inútil. Mirando atrás, incluso la terminología vinculada con esta confusión revela su error. Como ejemplo, considere la política económica: en todo el mundo, respondiendo a varios mecanismos de retroalimentación, las sociedades casi siempre derivan hacia el “centro político” o un “modelo mixto”. (Una excepción destacada serían lugares como Corea del Norte, que utilizan el hambre y la opresión extrema para evitar la aparición de cualquier movimiento de oposición.) Piense en China continental en las tres décadas posteriores a 1980, o Chile después del régimen de Pinochet. Los países suelen responder a la retroalimentación de tal manera que se alejan de los “extremos”. Sin embargo, el marco tradicional unidimensional — antes de Estrella 4D — no logra proporcionar una base teórica para explicar por qué esto ocurre. Si el control estatal completo (por ejemplo, el comunismo) fuera efectivo, entonces las sociedades se desviarían cada vez más hacia la “izquierda”. Si el laissez-faire total (libertad económica absoluta) fuera adecuado, entonces las sociedades naturalmente se desviarían hacia la “derecha”. En el año 2024, ya hemos visto cientos de ejemplos en la era moderna, por lo que podemos decir con confianza que las sociedades definitivamente no se desvían naturalmente hacia ninguno de los “extremos”. Por lo tanto, debería ser bastante inobjetable observar que ninguno de estos enfoques políticos — ni el comunismo ni el laissez-faire puro — responde adecuadamente a las expectativas humanas, necesidades humanas, valores humanos o desarrollo humano. Pero si ninguno de estos enfoques funciona, entonces un “mezcla centrista” de dos fracasos tampoco tiene sentido. Claramente, la conceptualización y la terminología sobre un enfoque “mixto” muestran un gran vacío en la comprensión. En lugar de transmitir la verdad de los sistemas sociales, solo muestran que las personas están confundidas en lo que respecta a marcos teóricos. Claramente, hay alguna cohorte de fuerzas fundacionales — algún sistema — que no se está describiendo adecuadamente. Entonces, las personas recurren a simplemente llamarlo “mixto”, como si su funcionalidad específica fuera irremediablemente misteriosa o confusa. Estrella 4D aclara todo esto. En artículos anteriores, el autor ha demostrado que Estrella 4D impulsa las sociedades de insectos eusociales, la dinámica de las plantas y, de hecho, todos los sistemas vivos. Dado que se remonta a cientos de millones de años, es probable que Estrella 4D sea una cohorte eterna que uno esperaría encontrar incluso en un rincón lejano del Universo. Aunque nunca fue identificada y descrita explícitamente antes de 2024, a Estrella 4D no le importa que la gente se sienta amenazada por el cambio, ni que no tenga la capacidad de atención necesaria para adquirir conocimientos. Estas relaciones sistémicas siempre han existido y siempre existirán, independientemente de las limitaciones humanas en términos de cognición o psicología. Tomemos un partido político “centrista” y exploremos cómo se manifiestan las fuerzas interdependientes de Estrella 4D. Esto es un sitio no partidista y no pretende apoyar un partido o conjunto específico de políticas. (Es posible, obviamente, que declaraciones y políticas no se alineen realmente con acciones, o enfoques ideales dadas condiciones actuales. El objetivo aquí es demostrar que la política moderada — ya sea “centro-izquierda” o “centro-derecha” — surge de Estrella 4D, en lugar de ser una “mezcla” de dos supuestos extremos en un paradigma unidimensional.) Movimiento Semilla estudio de caso en la dinámica de Estrella 4D Nivel 2D cohorte interdependiente de elementos fundamentales HUMANO – LIBERTAD – LEALTAD – INNOVACIÓN – ORGANIZACIÓN – COMUNICACIÓN – CONECTIVIDAD✪ HUMANO Considera estas dos afirmaciones: “Mi ideología rígida (o, mi líder carismático) es lo mejor para la humanidad.” “Me mantendré leal a mi objetivo de elevar la dignidad humana, el desarrollo humano, los valores humanos, y las virtudes humanas. A medida que yo reciba información, exploraré continuamente soluciones creativas y oportunidades, mientras comunico y colaboro eficazmente con otros, para asegurar el logro sostenible de este objetivo.” Superficialmente, ambas declaraciones pueden sonar ligeramente similares, ya que ambas supuestamente expresan una preocupación por la humanidad. Sin embargo, la primera utiliza la humanidad como una justificación, no como el principio fundamental. El estado ideal final ya “se conoce.” Cualquier nueva información inconveniente debe ocultarse. La segunda, en cambio, demuestra una lealtad real y ética. Al fin y al cabo, la pureza ideológica no importa a las familias necesitadas, ni a los niños, ni a nadie que no sean los creyentes fanáticos. A medida que avanzamos en el tiempo y adquirimos información adicional, y a medida que nuestras acciones producen retroalimentación, necesitamos adaptabilidad — libertad — y creatividad para asegurar que estamos superando desafíos y aprovechando oportunidades. Esto requiere información estructurada y la organización efectiva de los recursos. Además, es necesaria una comunicación efectiva, para asegurar un flujo de información fluido y mantener a todos motivados y cohesionados. La idea es innovar constantemente, ofrecer soluciones reales que aborden necesidades y valores — no probar que ya teníamos razón cuando profetizamos un “estado final” definitivo. El elemento “humano” corresponde perfectamente a la misión del Movimiento Semilla, que establece que busca un estado “democrático y plural, en el que los intereses de las personas — individuos y comunidades — estén por encima de intereses económicos y burocráticos particulares.” ✪ LIBERTAD Como ya se ha mencionado, la libertad es una fuerza integral en cualquier sistema adaptativo y ético. Sin libertad, sólo hay rigidez. La rigidez impide que los sistemas superen los retos y aprovechen las oportunidades. Así pues, la libertad es clave para la supervivencia y el éxito a lo largo del tiempo. Sin embargo, nada de esto es un camino de una sola vía. Cada elemento es reforzado por los demás. Por
4D Star drives plant systems, demonstrating universality
4D Star shapes plant systems, demonstrating universality Until now, the term “human flowering” was used as a metaphor — not as a literal parallel Do plants obey the same cohort of forces that generates successful human systems, including civilization itself? June 2024 Brian Luedke MSN RN monterrey.mx Understanding that 4D Star drives adaptation, resilience, and vitality in non-human systems facilitates the realization that this top-level paradigm could guide all levels of human activity, regardless of context or culture. The author already outlined how 4D Star dynamics propel the success of non-human animal species, namely ants (Formicidae), but this is the first delineation of 4D Star in non-animal species. Image: In Guatemala, a participant in a multinational project learns about Central American biodiversity with a disadvantaged child. 2D Level – Complex System ElementsPlant (Human) Abilities (virtues) Photosynthesis; growth and development; capacity to store, share, and respond to information. Needs (values) Survival (water, sun, air, nutrients); reproduction; adaptation and evolution at various timescales. Variation (Freedom) Short-term Growing branches and roots in random directions. Long-term Random genetic mutations during cellular division of plant embryos. Loyalty Short-term A plant’s enduring commitment to survival and reproduction. Also, fidelity to larger symbiotic systems. Long-term The dynamics inherent to evolutionary processes, which favor the fit and the resilient. Evolutionary pressure serves the plant in a sustained manner by driving development and adaptation; this enhances abilities such that needs are better met. Innovation Short-term Improvements in response to feedback, e.g., developing the branches that receive light, prioritizing the roots that obtain nutrients, etc. Long-term The development of whole new structures, relationships, or processes; such as the appearance of flowers (angiosperms) approximately 150 million years ago. Image: In Guatemala, two participants in a charity-oriented competition that incorporates rainforest elements Organization Short-term The structure of an individual plant; ordered resources and processes for storing, sharing, and responding to information Long-term The structural profile and chemical processes of the species in response to evolutionary-scale feedback Communication Short-term Hormonal messaging within a plant; chemical signaling between plants or between species forming a symbiotic system (e.g., bees and flowers) Long-term Evolutionary feedback through success and survival, thereby empowering and harmonizing the other elements Connectivity Short-term Hormonal receptivity within a plant; intraspecies chemical rapport and reproductive compatibility; symbiotic affinity between species Long-term Through evolutionary forces, the natural tendency of successful systems to form harmonious and stable larger-level systems in a symbiotic context Image: Near Tuxtla, Chiapas, two Guatemalan volunteers go hiking with disadvantaged children. 3D Level – Sustainability Through TimeThe combined, holistic action of the interlinked and mutually supportive 2D Level elements generates resilience, adaptability, and vitality. These emergent properties enable the system to survive and to thrive through time. On an evolutionary timescale, natural dynamics and feedback foster symbiotic relationships and interdependencies that promote harmonious sustainability for species and their ecosystems.4D Level – Enduring Realities At the 4D Level, the enduring realities of geographic, climatic, and ecological constraints shape the context in which the 2D Level elements of flora operate. For plants, factors such as climate patterns, soil types, and interactions with other species dictate their evolutionary pathways and adaptive strategies. These long-term conditions provide a stable backdrop for the dynamic processes that promote survival and success through time (3D Level). Implications of this universality Whether Human, non-human animal, or plant, every living system has certain needs; abilities; and potential for development, on both a short-term timescale and an evolutionary timescale. To interface with an ever-changing world, systems need an element of chaos, whether this is described as variation, exploration, or Freedom. In the human context, Freedom is an essential corollary to human dignity, as it allows people to explore their preferences, abilities, and creative interactions with the world. But in every living system, as we have seen, this exploration is needed at all timescales. It allows living things to overcome challenges, to seize opportunities, and always to have new solutions in the pipeline. Being predictable — always depending on the same solutions and the same approaches — spells doom. In addition to being an easy target for competitors, predictability means that when conditions change, or when the old resources are exhausted, the system is finished. To ensure that exploration actually translates into solutions and improvements (Innovation), Freedom needs to be paired with a force of commitment that reliably channels the variation back toward the needs and development of the system. This force is termed “Loyalty” in the 4D Star paradigm. For clear reasons, Freedom must be accompanied by Organization. Without structured information, processes, and resources, the system cannot possibly engage effectively with its environment. Any system also needs information exchange and thus the ability to connect with other components — whether hormonal or neural pathways within an organism, or signaling within a larger system. As we have seen above, even evolutionary pressure creates feedback. Thus, Communication and Connectivity are seen ubiquitously. When these seven elements (2D Level) are all present and supporting each other, the system has a chance at survival and success through time. Because the cohort is adaptive, if one element is weakened, the others can try to compensate, or repair the deficiency. This is how the harmonious functionality of 4D Star can achieve Sustainability Through Time (3D Level). If the 2D Level elements have been manifested by the dynamics of multicellular organisms, going back more than one billion years, it indicates that this cohort is actually eternal. Thus, the paradigm is profoundly resonant with Enduring Realities, i.e., the long-term patterns of nature and of history (4D Level).

ChatGPT 4o, does it ring true to suggest that 4D Star could be a meta-paradigm apt to guide all analysis and decision-making? * Note: Before posing questions, one must first copy-paste the 4D Star essay into ChatGPT (or other A.I.), and preferably also copy-paste the article concerning recent research.

ChatGPT 4 endorses the 4D Star paradigm
A.I. summarizes and explores 4D Star Artificial intelligence helped us merge ethics, strategy, systemic vitality, and knowledge integration. As artificial intelligence advances and lavishes 4D Star with ever more insightful commentary — spoon-feeding applications to the point where cognitive effort is hardly required — it grows increasingly absurd for people to stubbornly cling to simplistic, harmful placeholders; siloed approaches; and linear, Newtonian narratives. Practical Applications Because of the novelty of 4D Star, one must copy-paste the summary (below) into A.I. before posing a question.(One can also copy-paste any combination of articles.) SAMPLE USE CASES: How can 4D Star be applied to nurture a healthy and resilient marriage? How can educating people in 4D Star help prevent cult mentality? How does 4D Star illuminate U.S. Grant’s victory at the Battle of Vicksburg? How might the dissemination of 4D Star promote a cultural renaissance? The nursing Patient Safety Committee seeks to reduce patient falls on our inpatient unit. How can 4D Star assist? How can 4D Star help with staff not cleaning the microwave when their food splatters, in terms of informing a holistic plan of action? How can 4D Star leverage ethical systemic activity to prevent future wars and foster peace? How can 4D Star help me plan the care of my father with dementia? How does 4D Star spotlight Roman systemic functionality in Julius Caesar’s Siege of Alesia? How does 4D Star reveal the scalability and natural power of what have hitherto been loosely understood as “Western values,” while also harmonizing with Eastern insights? How could 4D Star enhance the quality of public discourse and political engagement? Despite the manifest power and moral imperative of 4D Star, what hurdles might people face in accepting it — in terms of psychology, perverse incentives, or entrenched obedience to cult-like ideology? How does 4D Star uniquely explain the origins of emergent properties such as resilience, diversity, cohesiveness, and trust? How is this holistic insight into human systems vastly more meaningful than merely listing emergent properties as if they were isolated phenomena of indeterminate origin, as seen in existing frameworks? Explain it to me like I’m a 6th grader. How does identifying the interactive core elements, along with the 3D and 4D levels of 4D Star, generate amazing explanatory and predictive powers? It seems almost magical. Give me a detailed example, based on a sports team, so I can understand better. If 4D Star is fully scalable and universally applicable, constituting the highest-level meta-paradigm, what profound insights does it uniquely reveal about the underlying principles and interconnectedness of nature? * Note: Some A.I. software is algorithmically-compelled to give a “word of caution” at the end of every text, no matter what. The human user can then ask A.I. to argue against itself, to see which perspective sounds more convincing: the mandatory caution, or the self-rebuttal. 4D Star essentially always comes out on top. revised: September 2024 Brian Luedke MSN RN questions for A.I. are highlighted in yellow How do the 2D Level elements depend on each other? Be specific & use examples. Zoom out and include the 3D Level and 4D Level. Without altering the thrust of this response, the (human) author substantially edited the text for detail. SUMMARY 4D Star The 2D Level elements of the 4D Star paradigm — human, freedom, loyalty with élan, innovation, organization, and the Ring of Harmony (communication and connectivity) — are interdependent, each reinforcing and supporting the others. These core elements exhibit a fractal dynamism, replicating their intricate interplay at every scale of human systems, from the activity of individuals to global networks. Human The “human” element, encompassing dignity, development, virtues, and values, is the central pillar of the 4D Star framework, as it grounds the paradigm in the fundamental aspects of human existence and well-being. This focus ensures that all other elements are oriented towards enhancing human potential and respecting intrinsic human worth. By placing human dignity and development at its core, the paradigm provides a meaningful and ethical foundation for decision-making and strategic planning. This centrality of the human element ensures that the framework promotes holistic and sustainable growth, fostering societies that are not only efficient and innovative but also just and humane. Dependency Freedom: Human development thrives in an environment of freedom, where individuals can explore their potential and make choices that reflect their values. Loyalty: Loyalty aligned with human-centered ethics provides a foundation that enhances relationships, social cohesion, and resilience over time. Loyalty ensures that the exploration and variation represented by “freedom” channel back to serving the human system’s needs and values. Innovation: Innovation supports human development by creating new opportunities and tools that promote empowerment, flourishing, and well-being. Innovation entails the strategic and ethical use of both new and existing structures, recognizing that every moment may bring new circumstances. Organization: Structure serves human values by conferring organized methods and frameworks that facilitate the effective use of information and resources to support achievement of objectives. Ring of Harmony: Connectivity and communication directly foster human happiness and catalyze the linking up of human potential with resources and data to advance goals and overcome challenges. Example In a company, employees need the freedom to express ideas and innovate. A supportive organizational structure provides resources and opportunities, while a culture of loyalty and effective communication ensures that employees are motivated and connected. Freedom Dependency Human: Well-developed humans are essential to safeguarding and engaging with freedom, as they possess the creativity and wisdom needed to make autonomous and ethical choices. Loyalty: Loyalty defends freedom; ensures that freedom is exercised responsibly, with a commitment to systemic well-being; and provides the stability in which freedom can endure. Innovation: Innovation enhances freedom by expanding its horizons, enabling individuals to explore new possibilities and achieve greater autonomy through solutions and advancements. Organization: A well-organized system ensures that freedom is harnessed effectively, avoiding chaos and fostering ethical orientation. Ring of Harmony: Communication and connectivity support the sustainable and sophisticated exercise of freedom by ensuring linkage with human needs, values, information from the external environment, data from
Chin of Burma heroically fight for freedom
The Most Heroic Generation? It’s in Burma — Not the West Beautiful, ethical, aware, highly-motivated young people are coming together to struggle for Freedom and Human dignity — which are intrinsically linked. They have made extreme sacrifices, demonstrating a high level of Loyalty. They know that Freedom cannot emerge nor endure without enthusiastic commitment. And we know that true Loyalty, in turn, cannot exist without Freedom. That means that in the contest over Myanmar’s future, the pro-democracy, anti-junta forces have a permanent spiritual advantage. Both sides recognize it: the esprit de corps of the People’s Defense Force (PDF) boosts their effectiveness vis-à-vis the soldier-slaves of the military junta, who receive support from Beijing, Moscow, and Pyongyang. May 2024 A veteran of the pro-democracy, anti-junta struggle, in the Chin region of Burma (Myanmar). Several of the images in this article were taken from a DW documentary. www.Chin.News Brian Luedke MSN RN Thankfully, in countries like the U.S., the U.K., and Canada, students have organized giant fundraisers in favor of Burma and Ukraine — in view of extending liberty’s blessings across the globe, and of undoing the modern-day Axis of aggressive dictatorships. Unlike angry, counterproductive protests of past decades, these have been optimistic, constructive celebrations of culture and freedom. Sorry, that’s what should be happening — not the reality. The reality is that in the fattened, complacent countries of the West, society passively allows young people to be brainwashed by the extremism of unethical professors, the deceit of smug pseudo-journalists (many of whom are subsidized by taxes), and the disinformation campaigns bankrolled by hostile dictatorships. Dr. Amos Dawt Za Hmung and his wife Rebecca (a nurse) assist a patient in Thantlang, Chinland, Myanmar. ABC News (Australia) article on them. To illustrate the scale of the systemic rot: this week at Harvard, cult-students raised a banner to glorify jihadist rape and Arab supremacist ideology, on a flagpole intended for the Stars and Stripes. At Columbia and many other universities, an alliance of Communists and Islamists openly calls for the mass slaughter of Jews, especially Israelis, demanding a “global Intifada” and renaming campus buildings “Intifada Hall.” The word “Intifada” refers to the murder of civilians for terrorist objectives. (Considering that Islamists and Communists cannot even refrain from murdering “heretical” factions within their respective faiths, one must anticipate an inevitable final showdown between Red and Green, subsequent a hypothetical successful torching of the rest of society.) Ruthless foreign tyrants and terrorists applaud the hate, ignorance, and antisemitism of these zombified sheep-followers. The governments of the U.S. and its allies eagerly employ the cultists exiting “elite” universities and install them in influential posts within the foreign ministries and other bureaucracies. Politicians adjust to the new dispensation, adopting a “both sides” approach or explicitly asserting that democracies should emulate oppressive regimes. Northwestern University chose to “negotiate” with violent agitators pushing Arab supremacy ideology. In exchange for the temporary removal of a few tents from a campus lawn, it has promised semi-permanent special privileges demanded by pro-Hamas militants, thereby rewarding and encouraging Islamist intolerance and antisemitism. The Biden administration is considering massively importing the radicalized residents of Gaza into the U.S. Tyrants who torture political dissenters and invade neighbors — along with long-bearded jihadists who toss gays off rooftops — are supposedly the new good guys. “Make it make sense,” the reader might be thinking. But since when has any death-cult ideology aligned with logic, evidence, or ethics? It’s the psychological aspect and manipulation that make sense, not ideas embodied by the chanting and circular logic. One insight has become undeniable: without a top-level paradigm to guide analysis and decision-making — and the 4D Star paradigm is the only contender; nothing else even exists in its ballpark — foreign tyrants and domestic extremists find ways to turn screws, to amplify confusion, to encourage disunity. Sodiers of the Chinland Defense Force, in Western Burma (Myanmar), in formation In the evening, the soldiers relax in the barracks Unity, indeed, is key for the emergence of a resilient free society. “Unity” does not denote unquestioning agreement on policies and strategies. But it does presuppose accord on core Human values, a sense of shared destiny, and mutual Loyalty.In western Burma, the Chin ethnicity, one of the country’s smaller groups, has achieved military success out of proportion to its size. The Chinland Defense Force (CDF) — affiliated with the nationwide PDF, which remains loyal to the elected parliament that was illegally disbanded by the military in 2021 — has had several military successes against the Tatmadaw, the name of the junta’s army.While forces affiliated with larger ethnicities have sometimes fallen into internecine struggles that ultimately serve the regime, in Chinland there has been relative unity. The hospital in Tatmadaw, Chinland, Burma Ukraine’s influence: Drone operators affiliated with the People’s Defense Force (PDF) are fighting the Beijing-backed tyrant The Chin ethnic group — which happens to be overwhelmingly Christian — also benefits from emotional and spiritual Connectivity that extends into its substantial diaspora.With hundreds of thousands of internally displaced people, and with the regional economy disrupted, its pro-democracy forces have few resources with which to fight the brutal tyranny of the junta. Thus, Chin émigrés, especially in the United States, send money home to assist with humanitarian efforts and the liberation struggle. Using Facebook, Zoom, and other internet-based platforms, the Chin diaspora engages Communication to arrange for resources to be transferred back to their communities of origin. In North America, supporters of the Chinland Defense Force hold a Zoom call and highlight a phone number for financial contributions via Zelle.Empowered by this supportive Organization, activists and community leaders have the ability to explore and to Innovate — they find novel methods of outflanking and outsmarting the soldier-slaves; new ways to extend solidarity in refugee relief, healthcare, and education.Meanwhile, the Tatmadaw, the forces opposing freedom, rely on rigid, uncreative, unethical methods. This is the persistent pattern associated with oppressive regimes — it’s not some surprising coincidence. On 25 Apr 2024, fighter-jets of the military junta bombed WunMaThuu Hospital in Min Dat Township, Chinland, murdering patients and staff.
UNM research strongly supports 4D Star Paradigm
UNM Research Strongly Supports 4D Star Time is more important than size. Not the way you’re thinking — in terms of detective work. “You found a drop of blood on my shoe? But it’s so small!” “One of the victim’s hairs, including the DNA-rich follicle, was found in my car? But it’s tiny! How can that matter?” Contrast those arguments with this alibi: “At the time of the crime, I was in jail in Missouri on an unrelated charge.” Spring 2024 acapulco.mx Time also trumps size when it comes to deciphering complex systems.”I follow along with a simple, faddish theory embraced by millions of people.””I have developed my own paradigm. Apparently, it’s understood by a grand total of one person. But evidence seems to conclusively show that it has synergy and emergent properties that are linked to survival and success, going back to the Late Jurassic or Early Cretaceous.”Which of these arguments, if accurate, should weigh more heavily on the scale? Before we miniaturize this discussion, let’s look at some big things. Very big — and very bad. A depiction of a gulag prisoner working in a Siberian forest. The oppressive regime of the USSR imposed slave labor and a slow death on untold millions of victims from across Eurasia. Joseph Stalin “General Secretary” from 1922 to 1953 Unlike Hitler, who shot himself in a bunker, or Mussolini, who was lynched by a crowd of partisans, Stalin died an old man at Kuntsevo Dacha surrounded by his housekeeper-concubine Valechka and his clique of top henchmen. (This inner circle, including Khrushchev and Beria, had been obliged to accompany him most nights for Hollywood movies and boozing till dawn, then go to the office while the dictator rested.) (The people missing at the bedside were competent physicians. The former Tiflis seminarian had targeted the medical profession subsequent the fabricated “Doctors’ Plot,” a supposed conspiracy of Jewish doctors to murder Soviet leaders.) While Mao had ups and downs in his career, Stalin never had any reversals of power caused by domestic opponents.Evil genius or not, Stalin indisputably had world-shaking abilities to identify and to twist the key leverage points of society. Born Ioseb Jughashvili, the tyrant’s initial rise to prominence largely arose through his participation in the Orgburo (the Party’s Organizational Bureau), starting in 1919. Stalin consistently volunteered to “help out” with assignments that other leaders saw as burdensome or mundane. This influence over Organization afforded him the opportunity to stack the agencies and provinces with loyalists. His disdain for and suppression of Human dignity and Freedom were of Biblical proportions: many tens of millions murdered through gulag slavery, summary execution, or pitiless grain requisition. Even most of the dictator’s own “comrades” and in-laws were eventually murdered or forced to commit suicide.His quashing of Communication — replacing it with disinformation and surveillance — was perpetual and tireless. He personally edited and censored regime-issue novels, plays, songs, and movies.In the Soviet Union, empathy for family members or fellow citizens was disparaged as “bourgeois sentimentality.” People were not to have friends but instead “comrades.” Relations were only permissible to the extent that they had immediate utility to the “class struggle,” meaning the dictatorship. A boy named Pavlik Morozov was elevated to propaganda-based “national hero” for reporting his father to the authorities for allegedly setting aside a quantity of grain. Likewise, religion, spirituality, or any sense of the transcendant were constantly derided. Priests, Buddhist monks, Baptists, imams, and rabbis were murdered en masse or subjected to slave labor. Thus, the regime did everything imaginable to obliterate Connectivity (emotional or spiritual).The author of the 1932 – 1933 collectivization-linked starvation of untold millions was obsessed with imposing servile obedience; concomitantly, Stalin manifested a monomania against ancestral-type Loyalty to oneself, one’s family, or one’s people.Consider the 17th Congress of the All-Union Communist Party, held in 1934. The secret ballot was supposed to be a formality, but Sergei Kirov, a favorite within the dictator’s entourage, surprisingly received hundreds of votes. By year’s end, Kirov was dead. By 1938, a large majority of the Congress attendees — thousands of prominent Communists — were also dead.Note Stalin’s extraction of “confessions” from victims. With no apparent advantage, the tyrant constructed a costly apparatus stretching across the vastness of Soviet Eurasia, in view of torturing people until they would write long denunciations of themselves and their associates. Stalin would even edit interrogation transcripts himself, then circulate the texts to regime officials as if they were completely reliable. Realizing that Stalin must have intentionally targeted the core components that would normally make a society strong and resilient, the author wondered about “working backwards” — antithetical analysis — to identify the foundational elements of a healthy polity. This makes sense because in a free society, systemic enablers each have numerous sub-elements, which can complicate analysis. But when entire foundations are gone, one can more readily identify these core components. Adding an admixture of insight from healthcare leadership, the author was able to develop the 4D Star universal paradigm, which elucidates the previously-unidentified complex system represented by the “2D Level,” which embraces seven elements. The author realized that, indeed, size does not really matter. The 4D Star paradigm is scalable and evidence-based at the individual level, the organizational level, or the societal level.The author subsequently expanded his expertise in a scholarly field that was already investigating some of these questions, although no one had made the progress achieved by this author in terms of explicitly identifying the core features of any successful, sustainable organization or society. According to Complexity Science, scalability reinforces the validity of a paradigm. That’s because — to take one example — if the same foundational forces are at work in an organization or in society, the pattern of relationships should be the same, regardless of scale. B. H. Liddell Hart Before we discuss the findings of the University of New Mexico study of ants, let’s recall the insights of B. H. Liddell Hart, the preeminent military strategist and philosopher of the interwar years.He expanded insight into the Indirect Approach,
Country Boy Insight
Country Boy Insight Playin’ cards at Pop-Pop’s farmhouse, if you forgot the suit, ‘course you’d say, “What’s trump again, darlin’?” Meanin’, if hearts is trump, you can’t play spades. Now, ‘magine, if it’s hard to remember trump in cards, how much harder is real life? Who can keep it all straight, every time? You reckon havin’ no instructions, no guide, makes things any easier? Handlin’ life — bit more complicated than a card game. ‘Stead o’ five cards, let’s say, it’s like you got 49 cards, ‘n’ there’s seven suits all at once, straight through. April 2024Update: August 2024 Jethro Johnson www.Greenville.SC If that sounds complicated, well, tis ‘n’ tain’t. You can manage it — prolly been doin’ it your whole life — but I reckon ‘splainin’ it might send you down a rabbit hole. First off, don’t worry, them book-smart, highbrow types can’t ‘splain it neither. I ‘spose at college, lot of ’em din’t have time for everythin’, chasin’ tail ‘n’ all. Could either learn to sound smart, or be smart, one. You know Karl Marx, the feller whose ideas have already killed a heap of people, ’bout two hundred million? Two centuries later, (and this tells you how unimaginative folks can be — real Southdown sheep), they still fallin’ back on his fancy, made-up cult-words to cover big holes in understandin’. Click on any photo to enlarge Today they paint themselves as mighty clever, usin’ the old false flag. Trottin’ out nice-soundin’ “Conflict Theory,” or “DEI,” or “woke,” but it’s still the same ol’ Marxist bull: paranoia ‘n’ murder.On a second reckonin’, “Conflict Theory” don’t even sound hot. Lookin’ at every issue as “Oppressor” versus “Oppressed” — it’s like always bein’ dead set on puttin’ socks on a rooster… if socks on a rooster got people killed.Point bein’, don’t let ’em make you feel stupid — they ain’t got no sense nohow. Elsewise, why they gotta fall back on that cult crap? If it smells like rottin’ carcass — ‘n’ for two hundred million, that’s puttin’ it mildly — nothin’ fancy ’bout that.Don’t make it no better that they hide behind a lick and a promise, makin’ out Antonio Gramsci to be the new Sam Adams, or Rosa Luxemburg the new Betsy Ross.But guess what? We gonna help ’em get some sense.What’s the other option? They wanna do us like they done in Soviet Eurasia after nineteen hundred and seventeen. Put us on the ol’ Gulag Diet. Expect us to spin yarns, one ‘gainst the other.Or do us like their rapist heroes done to Israeli women ‘n’ babies on 7 October. Unspeakable! Hearts darker than a snake’s belly in a wagon rut. So let’s make this real clear-like, to cut through those cult-verses from Marx they still chantin’ — in those soy-boy circles where they wearin’ black sleeves over skinny arms. As I say, real life is more complicated than Spades ‘n’ Hearts. Like playin’ seven suits at a time. (‘N’ professors are trickin’ sheep-children into thinkin’ all’s so simple.) First off, you got one trump, one element, that ain’t goin’ nowhere: HUMAN. Means you gotta be ethical, centered on that. (First thing they “forgot” to add in that D.E.I. acronym.) Human stands for, “Just remember, everybody’s got a momma, a sister, so think on that and do right by ’em.” It also means we gotta build humans up, elevate all kinds of learnin’, so we all know how to play these here “suits.” We need each other if we’re gonna stay alive, ‘n’ stay free. That don’t just mean hit the books hard. Hit the farm work too — learn how to be a real man, get dirty. We don’t need any more of them black-clad sad ‘n’ confused cult boys. We all gotta learn how to get straight with God (or Dhamma, or Brahma — you know what I’m gettin’ at) ‘n’ become a good person. Yes, that may mean you get put over your aunt’s knee and get switched until you learn how to say, “Yes ma’am,” share your toys. All that. But serious, we gotta make sure kids get a chance, get love ‘n’ stability, ’cause that’s when a lot o’ the learnin’ needs to happen. Them that grows up full-rapscallion — no father, mother with a different boyfriend every week — hard to fix that in a grown man. Ain’t no Red theory of “victimhood” gonna save anyone who grown up like that. Doin’ right by other people also means, “Different strokes for different folks.” Maybe you like two-steppin’ ‘n’ four-wheelin’, but other folk wanna spend their time on sports, fishin’, worship, or whatnot. Let ’em be how they want, ’cause that’s what you would want for yourself. Long as they mind their own business. As we talkin’ ’bout values, remember too that near ’bout everybody puts family first. And on the topic of kinfolk, those Marxist professors ‘n’ journalists — we’ll be generous ‘n’ pretend like they deserve those words — maybe they should go back ‘n’ attend what schools these days call “family life” class. You ever seen the mug-shot photos of these young Chekist wannabes? Bless their hearts, they’re like a bullfrog serenadin’ a mirror — more hopeful than handsome. If they ever learn what today’s twelve-year-olds already know, they might could reckon why “races” livin’ in the same place for a few generations have a weird way of mergin’ together. I guess it’s “impossible” to understand how it all works, but somehow, even without any of that Marxist black-magic or witch-doctorin’ — Lord knows, every university needs two hundred D.E.I. “administrators,” don’t even pretend to teach, just light some incense or chant some verses — somehow, this mergin’ has been goin’ on for tens o’ thousands o’ years. “Oh, how did we ever manage?” Somebody call up them Franks and Gauls, ring up them Etruscans and Romans, let ’em know they all still separate peoples. Without them Woke priests and nuns, no one could make heads or tails of what to do with each other
Sommes-nous trop imbriqués dans notre réalité pour en comprendre sa dynamique fondamentale?
Quels sont les éléments fondamentaux de toute société humaine viable et durable ? Il y a ces deux jeunes poissons qui nagent ensemble, et ils rencontrent un vieux poisson nageant dans la direction opposée, qui leur fait un signe de tête et dit : “Bonjour les garçons, comment est l’eau ?” Et les deux jeunes poissons continuent de nager un peu, puis finalement, l’un d’eux regarde l’autre et dit : “C’est quoi, putain, l’eau?” — David Foster Wallace, Discours de remise des diplômes de 2005 au Kenyon College En 2024, toujours, les gens sont-ils peut-être moins avancés qu’ils ne le pensent – du moins en ce qui concerne la compréhension de leur fonctionnement dans le monde? Sont-ils un peu comme les poissons de cette analogie – trop proches de leur propre situation pour en percevoir les contours fondamentaux? avril 2024 Ivoirien ivoirien.com C’est quoi un nom? Considérons les implications de ces similitudes étymologiques: Langues indo-européennes Français — nomLatin — nomenItalien — nomeEspagnol — nombrePortugais — nomeCatalan — nomRoumain — numeAnglais — namePashto — نوم (num)Hindi — नाम (naam) “Nom” : Langues bantoues Duala — zinaBasaa — zinaSwahili — jinaKikuyu — jinaKinyarwanda — izinaKirundi — izinaLuganda — jinaChichewa — dzinaChewa — dzina À travers des milliers de kilomètres, à travers des milliers d’années, le mot pour “nom” n’a guère changé. Alors que les Indo-Européens et les Bantous prenaient respectivement le contrôle de vastes étendues de l’Eurasie et de l’Afrique, leur attachement à ce mot reflète la centralité de l’identité pour l’humanité. HUMAIN Alors, c’est quoi un nom? C’est la reconnaissance de toute une personnalité, reconnaissant implicitement toutes les sphères de l’individualité, telles que physique, intellectuelle, fonctionnelle et culturelle. Ça, c’est pour un individu. Mais chaque tribu n’a-t-elle pas aussi son propre nom, englobant exactement les mêmes domaines? L’acte même de donner un nom à une personne ou à une nation signifie la reconnaissance de la dignité humaine innée. Les pillards qui volent, tuent et violent… demandent-ils des noms? Sinon, pourquoi préféreraient-ils ne pas les savoir ? LIBERTÉ Lorsque vous reconnaissez pleinement l’humanité d’une personne ou d’un groupe, cela implique également qu’on s’attend à ce qu’ils utilisent leur créativité, à ce qu’ils se découvrent eux-mêmes, à ce qu’ils contribuent à leur manière. Donc, l’acte même de nommer quelqu’un véhicule l’idée de liberté. Ce n’est pas une coïncidence si la première étape de la suppression de la liberté implique de priver les gens de leur nom. Considérez l’Union Soviétique. L’individualité était en second lieu à l’identification en tant que “personne soviétique”. Ceux qui étaient ciblés pour destruction n’étaient pas Alexei ou Oleksandr, mais « Koulak », ou « Ennemi du peuple », ou « Cosmopolite ». Dans le Goulag, les prisonniers étaient appelés par leurs numéros de camp. ORGANISATION et LOYAUTÉ (avec élan) Nommer quelqu’un porte d’autres implications qui sont cruciales à comprendre. Après tout, l’individu n’émerge pas de la terre, tel un nain, dans une savane inhabitée. Il s’intègre à un clan, une tribu, ou une nation. Il existe une attente que l’enfant jouera un rôle au sein de la structure sociale du groupe – avec l’espoir, peut-être, qu’il aura même un rôle de leader. De plus, personne n’a jamais consacré d’effort et de ressources à élever un enfant dans l’espoir de trahison, de neutralité ou d’indifférence. Évidemment, le groupe non seulement attend, mais exige, la loyauté avec élan en vue de s’assurer la survie et le succès. INNOVATION En tant que mammifère intelligent, quelqu’un possédant toutes les qualités mentionnées ci-dessus a également, de manière inhérente, le potentiel de mobiliser sa créativité et sa curiosité dans le contexte de l’innovation. En effet, soutenue par une organisation efficace renforcée par la bonne communication et solidarité émotionnelle, jouissant de la liberté, et cherchant loyalement à améliorer les conditions humaines tout en assurant la réussite, une personne se trouve positionnée pour exploiter son potentiel intellectuel et le monde physique dans le contexte de l’innovation. (Voilà la synergie indéniable du paradigme Étoile 4D, qui n’a jamais été identifiée ni discutée auparavant.) Au-delà de l’amélioration, comment peut-on innover? En anticipant les événements – tant les menaces que les opportunités – en planifiant et en inventant. Qu’est-ce qui vient de se passer? Les quatre premiers catalyseurs systémiques se sont répétés dans le contexte du cinquième. Mais ces éléments réservent encore bien d’autres surprises. Ils se soutiennent tous mutuellement ; ils dépendent tous les uns des autres. Aucun d’eux ne peut exister isolément. Ensemble, ils définissent un mode de vie, qui a conféré des avantages compétitifs puissants peut-être depuis 100 000 ans. Et la chose la plus surprenante de toutes? Maintenant, en 2024, l’auteur est la première personne à identifier cette synergie et à l’expliquer. La synergie qui définit notre vie se cachait à la vue de tous et personne ne l’avait jamais remarquée. COMMUNICATION et CONNEXION ÉMOTIONNELLE Mais nous allons trop vite en besogne. Revenant à notre analogie originale, donner un nom à quelqu’un véhicule encore plus de sens que ces cinq éléments fondamentaux. Cela démontre évidemment la COMMUNICATION — l’échange d’idées, de préoccupations, de rêves. Attribuer un nom (un type de mot) sans communication est une proposition sans sens. Dans le contexte humain, cela implique aussi nécessairement une CONNEXION ÉMOTIONNELLE — les sentiments collectifs et les liens qui unissent les gens. Les humains ne sont pas des robots, donc chaque membre d’une famille ou d’une équipe a des liens émotionnels avec les autres membres. SYNERGIE de nos catalyseurs systémiques fondamentaux Un catalyseur systémique — prenons INNOVATION comme exemple — prend des caractéristiques humaines intrinsèques — la créativité et l’ingéniosité dans ce cas — et les combine avec d’autres éléments pour étendre la fonctionnalité humaine. Des millions de personnes étaient créatives au Moyen Âge, mais il y avait peu d’innovations, à part quelques exemples comme le moulin à eau, le moulin à vent et la navigation viking. En effet, l’innovation nécessite plus que de la créativité brute. Cela requiert que la créativité soit soutenue par tous les catalyseurs systémiques déjà mentionnés — soutien organisationnel, focalisation sur les besoins
