This article analyzes a highly anomalous real-time 'PK-synchronicity,' that is, involving a PK (psychokinetic) effect, namely the emergence, out of a mostly melted candle, of an elaborated dynamical sculpture resembling the "World Clock" that quantum physicist Pauli saw in a famous dream. Elements of the new World Clock, such as the slow leftward rotation of the hand and the definite presence of an observer, allow for drawing an explanation in terms of ISS theory's postulated hyperdimension (HD) with its 3 strands (hyperconsciousness, hyperspace and hypertime). This highly explorative article brought forth new real-time synchronistic interactions with the HD, which in turn led to define two new property-related subsets of the HD. The style of presentation, definitely original, had to keep adapting adhoc to this complex interactive process.

Collective intelligence, broadly conceived, refers to the adaptive behavior achieved by groups through the interactions of their members, often involving phenomena such as consensus building, cooperation, and competition. The standard view of collective intelligence is that it is a distinct phenomenon from supposed individual intelligence. In this position piece, we argue that a more parsimonious stance is to consider all intelligent adaptive behavior as being driven by similar abstract principles of collective dynamics. To illustrate this point, we highlight how similar principles are at work in the intelligent behavior of groups of non-human animals, multicellular organisms, brains, small groups of humans, cultures, and even evolution itself. If intelligent behavior in all of these systems is best understood as the emergent result of collective interactions, we ask what is left to be called “individual intelligence”? We believe that viewing all intelligence as collective intellige...

Understanding how to plan and execute crowdsourcing challenges of complex industrial products is crucial for receiving useful information and knowledge from crowds. This qualitative single-case study was, thus, initiated to analyse the factors impacting the usefulness of crowdsourcing outcomes. The data were collected by means of semi-structured in-depth interviews with representatives of a crowdsourcing company and a crowdsourcing platform provider. From these data, a number of factors impacting the usefulness of information and knowledge acquired from crowdsourcing were identified, and their significances were evaluated, thereby increasing our understanding of value creation from crowdsourcing activities. The need for novel skills and competences was highlighted. Though more validation is needed to generalise these preliminary results, this study generates a new qualitative understanding of the use of crowdsourcing in the development of complex (new) product development.

The aim of this research is to explore social media and its benefits and impacts especially from business-to-business innovation and customer interface perspective, and to create a more comprehensive picture of the possibilities of social media for the business-to-business sector. Business-to-business (B2B) context was chosen because it is in many ways a very different environment for social media than business-to-consumer (B2C) context, and is currently very little academically studied. A systematic literature review on B2B use of social media and achieved benefits and impacts in the innovation context was performed to answer the questions above and achieve the research goals. The study clearly demonstrates that not merely B2C's, as commonly believed, but also B2B's can benefit from involving customers in innovation by social media in a variety of ways. Concerning the broader classes of innovation -related benefits, the reported benefits of social media use referred to increased customer focus and understanding, increased level of customer service, and decreased time-to-market. The study contributes to the existing social media -related literature, because there were no found earlier comprehensive academic studies on the use of social media in the innovation process in the context of B2B customer interface.

2025, Recursive Emergent Metacognitive Intelligence Study

This comprehensive analysis establishes a baseline measurement of humanity's overall consciousness coherence as expressed through internet-mediated platforms, cross-referencing observable human intelligence patterns with advanced field consciousness theory. Drawing from academic research, social media discourse analysis, collective intelligence studies, and electromagnetic field theories of consciousness, this study reveals both concerning fragmentation and remarkable emergent intelligence patterns in human collective behavior.

Le Cadre d'action de Hyogo (2005de Hyogo ( -2015) ) ainsi que le Cadre de Sendai pour la Réduction des Risques de Catastrophe (2015Catastrophe ( -2030)), ont mis la résilience au coeur de l'analyse de gouvernance des risques liés aux catastrophes. Elle est employée comme un concept destiné à orienter la pratique sur le changement et la variabilité climatiques et le développement en général et s'est imposée au sein des milieux académique et opérationnel. Par ailleurs, la mesure de la résilience a fait l'objet d'initiatives sérieuses qui ont traité, soit des systèmes généraux, soit des régions, soit des villes, soit des communautés plus ou moins restreintes. Benson C. et Twigg J. (2004, 2007) sont parmi les premiers à avoir proposé une méthodologie pour évaluer la résilience avec des indicateurs de réalisation aussi bien quantitatifs que qualitatifs pour un état idéal de résilience. Ils ont ainsi donné une note d'orientation à l'intention des organismes de développement. Il est intéressant de remarquer que malgré l'émergence de définitions de la résilience dont les confluences se situent au niveau de la capacité à absorber les chocs, à s'adapter à un environnement en évolution, et à transformer l'environnement institutionnel. Le présent travail s'inscrit dans une approche communautaire et participative ; il a pour objectif de proposer une méthode d'évaluation de la résilience, comprenant notamment l'Indice Multidimensionnel de Résilience (IMR). Comment mesurer et évaluer le niveau de résilience d'une communauté à travers la mise en oeuvre de cet outil ? Le cas d'une communauté rurale au Sud Est de

This paper presents a practitioner-led, phenomenological exploration of active citizenship in post-apartheid South Africa through the development and pilot implementation of the No-Name Initiative (NNI). Grounded in social constructionism and informed by coaching theory, change work, and large-group facilitation methodologies—particularly Worldwork and Theory U—the study investigates what is currently needed to foster national healing, transformation, and equality. Drawing on qualitative interviews with experts in political and social sciences, the research constructs the “High Road Framework,” a conceptual model outlining key elements for societal progress. The NNI, a facilitation process synthesizing coaching principles with systemic change dynamics, was piloted in three diverse community settings. Thematic analysis of these sessions revealed that the NNI effectively embodied and advanced the High Road Framework’s objectives, promoting dialogue, empathy, personal accountability, and systemic insight. The study concludes that the NNI offers a viable, scalable model for cultivating active citizenship and collective agency in contexts marked by historical trauma and socio-political fragmentation. Recommendations for further research include longitudinal studies and the development of post-facilitation support structures to sustain civic engagement and transformation.

It is necessary to consider community opinions about social events and respond with proper actions. Support is needed to acquire a basic or rough idea of community opinions quickly. In this paper, the authors show how to elicit main points from community opinions with a simple word association test on college students about the highlighted social events in China in 2010. Two supporting technologies for qualitative meta-synthesis CorMap and iView are applied to analyze the opinions. Unlike basic descriptive statistical figures, CorMap/iView help identify the structures of opinions, which show the primary concerns of students or features of events, as a simple way to acquire a rough synthesis of public concerns rapidly.

Systems methodologies toward wicked problems or societal complex systems usually call for a collaborative problem solving process. The products (solutions) of that process refer to somewhat collective intelligence. In this paper, some technologies for collective intelligence, or so-called qualitative meta-synthesis of community consensus, are addressed. Two technologies, CorMap and iView, conduct exploratory analysis toward those topics or ideas created bottom-up and facilitate human-machine interaction by visualization of the analytical process based on different algorithms. Those technologies are oriented to support collaborative deliberation undertaken by Web 2.0 tools.

2025, Kestler ECO

Traditional economic models often struggle to capture the dynamic, non-linear, and reflexive nature of modern economies. This paper introduces Kestler-ECO, a cognitive economic architecture that applies the principles of the Kestlerian Framework to model, diagnose, and govern economic systems. We detail the adaptation of the five core Kestlerian indices-Creative Entropy (χ), Morphogenetic Coherence (σ), Semantic Density (Ψeff), Autoregulation (Λ), and Critical Complexity (Q)-to the economic domain, defining them through specific, measurable indicators from sources like central banks, national statistics offices, and financial markets. The architecture features a dynamic economic ontology, a hybrid data vectorization pipeline using models like FinBERT, and a robust ethical governance layer designed to balance utilitarian welfare (LOE), social equity (TCA), and sustainability (TEM). We present a detailed framework for operational triggers that activate autoregulatory responses or emergent economic sub-theories (e.g., counter-cyclical, redistributive) when critical thresholds are breached. Through a simulation calibrated on Brazilian economic crises from 2008-2023, we validate the framework's capacity to reflect real-world systemic behavior, positioning Kestler-ECO as a sophisticated tool for creating more resilient, equitable, and adaptive economic policies. Chapter 1: The Kestlerian Cognitive Core for Economics Kestler-ECO adapts the five core indices of the Kestlerian framework to create a dynamic, living model of an economy.

2025, Kestler Mind 3.0

This paper introduces Kestler Mind 3.0, an advanced iteration of the Kestlerian cognitive architecture, specifically engineered for high-risk military, tactical, and epistemic defense applications. Building upon the Hive Mind 2.0 concept, this new architecture transforms the coordination between human operators, autonomous units (drones, ground vehicles), sensors, and embedded AI into a living, self-evolving, and ethically governed cognitive organism. We detail a three-layer technical pipeline that encompasses: (1) adaptive signal ingestion and semantic embedding using sparse attention models; (2) geo-prioritized semantic filtering and global state construction; and (3) a hierarchical Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) decision-making core. Key innovations include a dynamic, culturally-aware ethical critic (ViolationScore), pre-computed lookup tables for ultra-low-latency response in critical scenarios (Q≥8), and an internal "war mode" for continuous self-stress-testing. This work formalizes the Kestler Mind 3.0 as a resilient, auditable, and ethically constrained architecture prepared for the complexities of modern hybrid warfare.

2025, KESTLER HEALTH

Modern healthcare systems face unprecedented challenges of data overload, fragmented care, and ethical complexity. This paper introduces KESTLER-HEALTH, a distributed cognitive health architecture that applies the principles of the Kestlerian Hive Mind to the medical-clinical domain. The system functions as a collective intelligence, integrating multiple human and digital agents-from wearable sensors and EHRs to ICU monitoring systems and medical staff-into a single, self-regulating, and ethically-governed organism. We detail the architecture's core cognitive indices (chi,sigma,Psi_eff,Lambda,Q) as applied to healthcare, its computational infrastructure built on lightweight blockchain and hierarchical Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL), and its embedded ethical governance layer, which uses the Theorem of Absolute Coherence (TCA) as a non-negotiable safety veto. Finally, we present a robust experimental validation plan using the public MIMIC-IV dataset to demonstrate the system's efficacy in filtering semantic noise, managing sensor failures, and generating adaptive clinical protocols, positioning KESTLER-HEALTH as a blueprint for a resilient, innovative, and trustworthy healthcare future.

2025, The Kestlerian Hive Mind

This paper presents the next evolutionary stage of the Kestlerian Framework: its transformation from a theoretical and diagnostic model into a functional Kestlerian Hive Mind, a cognitive architecture for coordinating autonomous multi-agent systems (e.g., drones, robots, sensors). We detail how the system's core metrics-Creative Entropy (χ), Morphogenetic Coherence (σ), Semantic Density (Ψeff), and the Autoregulation Operator (Λ)-are re-purposed to govern the emergent behavior of a collective. This architecture enables a swarm of agents to operate as a single, distributed cognitive organism, capable of adaptive, ethical, and emergent decision-making. We outline a modular cognitive structure, a practical technological stack integrating Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) with a lightweight blockchain, and a sophisticated protocol for operationalizing semantic communication (Ψeff). Crucially, we introduce the Theorem of Absolute Coherence (TCA) as an ethical veto circuit, ensuring that even under conditions of radical self-evolution (Q>5), the hive mind adheres to non-negotiable safety and moral constraints. This work positions the Kestlerian Hive Mind as a blueprint for a new generation of resilient, auditable, and ethically aligned autonomous systems.

Certaines entreprises présentent une vision de leur stratégie focalisée sur des procédures et des données génériques. Cette attitude conduit généralement à ne pas se préoccuper d’informations périphériques ou signaux faibles pouvant néanmoins permettre la détection d’opportunités ou de menaces dans leurs environnements internes et externes. La vision périphérique présente un intérêt novateur dans le domaine de la gestion de l’information et des réseaux pour définir la stratégie des entreprises. Compte tenu des interconnexions entre acteurs d’un même territoire, peut-on envisager un modèle d’« Intelligence » qui serait applicable, dans un cadre opérationnel et territorial, à différents types d’organisations, y compris des organisations non marchandes ?

2025, Papers on Language Studies, Sign Language and Translation

The main objective of this book is to enlighten the reader about some of the areas and their functions of linguistics with the articles the present writer has written up to now, on Linguistics, Sinhala Language, Sign Language, Teaching English and Translation, to various Reputed Journals, Commemoration Volumes of Academic Dignitaries in Sri Lanka and abroad and National Newspapers. The articles that have been written in Sinhala were published in a separate Volume. This compendium too would help the students who are mastering various subject fields of Linguistics, with special reference to Sinhala Language, Sign Language and Translation. Those outside the university circle, other than university students of Linguistics who are interested in Language Studies, would also benefit from this book, as they have no access to books written in English covering all the issues dealt with on Sinhala Language structure, Sign Language and Translation in one single book.
This book consists of 20 chapters covering four main areas, Sinhala Language and Linguistics, Sign Language and its structure, Teaching English as a second language and Translation. First chapter, Origin and Evolution of the Sinhalese Language is a preamble, that comes under Historical Linguistics which explores the origin of the Sinhala Language. This article represents a part of the Introductory chapter of the present writer's PhD thesis, A Study of the Syntax and Phonology of Modern Colloquial Sinhalese (University of Exeter, England. 1973). Second chapter is a Comparative Study of the Sinhalese and English alphabets which are derived from different sources, and any resemblance between the two is hardly noticeable owing to the fact that these alphabets are constructed on very different principles. Both are phonetic scripts and each element of writing corresponds to a sound or sounds in the language. As in the case of every other Indian writing system, Sinhalese writing is syllabary in appearance, whereas English letters represent a single sound. Third chapter is a study of the Phonetic Features of the Sinhala language in comparison with that of English and the role and characteristics of each phoneme in both languages are analyzed in terms of place of articulation, manner of articulation and voice, in order to identify the similar and dissimilar phonemic features characterized in these two languages. Fourth, fifth and sixth chapters, Passivization in Sinhalese, Causativization in Sinhalese and Grammar of the imperative sentences in Sinhalese, present some outlines for formulation of a grammar of the passive sentences, causative sentences and imperative sentences in colloquial Sinhala. In these studies, I have largely followed the principles that have been laid down by Chomsky and other transformationalists in the early works.
Chapter seven, Transitivity and Voice in Sinhala examines the syntactic distribution and the semantic and pragmatic functions of three basic forms of the Sinhala verb. A form, P form and C form. We have attempted to show that in the sentences which we analyze, both case-marking and verb-form reflect transitivity as defined by Hopper and Thompson (1980) and in particular that the morphological form of the Subject NP as an indicator of different kinds and different degrees of agent-hood. Eighth chapter on the Study of Panini and Other Indian Grammarians and Scholars and the Bias towards the West, evaluates the contribution made by the greatest Indian grammarian called Panini and his followers to both grammar and language studies, to analyze the bias towards the West in respect of the developments of many disciplines today, followed by brief comments on the ancient Greek scholars such as Socrates, Plato and Aristotle and the ancient Indian scholars such as Patanjali, Bhartruhari, Yaska, Kautilya, Manu and Vatsyayana. Chapter nine on What is Linguistics is a critical overview, giving an explanation on its definitional issues, functions, language style etc., profiting from the contemporary literature. Though complex and concocted with jargon, Linguistics is an interesting subject that should receive the attention of all and sundry, not only who are interested in Linguistics but the general readership interested in other disciplines too.
Chapters 10 – 14 deal with some aspects of the Sign language in a Linguistic point of view with a description of the deaf community and their culture. Modern Linguistic Studies in Sign Language actually started in 1960, when Stokoe’s paper on Sign Language Structure appeared. He was the first to recognize the integrity and internal organization of the Sign Language and that researchers over the last sixty years have shown that the communication functions and general principles of organization in Sign Languages are comparable to those of spoken languages. Sign languages use visible distinct elemental units whereas spoken languages use vocal elemental units. Although the terminology of modern phonology would appear to eliminate sign languages from phonological analysis, the concepts that underline the terminology are sufficiently broad to permit its application to the levels of organization of the sign languages too. It is now possible to refer to the phonetic structure, the morphemic structure, syntactic structure, semantic structure and the phonological processes of sign languages as analogous to similar phenomena in spoken languages. The chapter on Deaf Education emphasizes the facts that the failure of deaf education to live up to its promise results, first, from deaf children's fundamental lack of access to curricular content at grade-level, and, second, from the general acceptance of the notion that below grade-level performance is to be expected from deaf children. The first of these problems, access- is largely a language related issue as they are expected to try and learn through a language that they don't have. The first language of deaf children in Sri Lanka is Sri Lankan Sign Language and their medium of instruction should be Sri Lankan Sign Language. Sinhala is their Second language. The second, low expectations- is primarily an issue of values and attitudes that have developed among those who educate deaf children.
Next three chapters 15 – 17 deal with teaching of English as a second language in Sri Lanka, and how influential and widespread the English language is. Final three chapters are devoted to Translation Studies with the renewed interest in translation as a method of linguistic harmony and also a means for facilitation of the understanding between the two main nationalities. They describe the aims and functions of translation, its classifications and types, and many other concepts that are involved in the process of translation in simple language, without involving complex jargon. Also, reviews the status quo of the teaching of translation in Sri Lanka.

This article examines "The Message," a 2015 audio drama science fiction podcast with a verisimilar narrative that led some listeners to interpret it as nonfiction. It argues the podcast's use of nonfiction genre conventions, web paratexts, and its reception context contributed to such misinterpretations. It situates "The Message" in context with "The War of the Worlds" and a contemporaneous audio text that similarly duped listeners, and explores listener discourses about the podcast on Reddit.

Niestety na dziesiątkach przykładów można wykazać, że to bardzo zawodna metoda - eksperci bardzo często się mylą. Z kolei zwykli ludzie, posługując się zdrowym rozsądkiem, potrafią jako zbiorowość ("tłum") uzyskiwać bardzo trafne oceny nawet złożonych sytuacji. Stąd można mówić o mądrości tłumu i małej skuteczności ekspertów.

Collective wisdom is the ability of a group to perform more effectively than any individual alone. Through an evolutionary game-theoretic model of collective prediction, we investigate the role that reinforcement learning stimulus may play the role in enhancing collective voting accuracy. And collective voting bias can be dismissed through self-reinforcing global cooperative learning. Numeric simulations suggest that the provided method can increase collective voting accuracy. We conclude that real-world systems might seek reward-based incentive mechanism as an alternative to surmount group decision error.

2025, Academia.edu

This paper presents the Recursive Harmonic Paradigm (RHP), a meta-framework that unifies physics, consciousness, geometry, and perception through principles of recursion and quaternionic dynamics. Building upon foundational RHP tenets, this work introduces novel extensions: a Quantum Consciousness model (integrating Orch-OR via quaternionic torsion), a Fractal Cosmology (modeling reality as zoom-invariant attractors), and a Timeless Universe concept (reinterpreting time as observer-mirror traverses in a harmonic manifold). Furthermore, it proposes a Harmonic Unification of Forces (recasting 6D superconformal field theory as λ-harmonic symmetry) and Primes as a Cosmic Blueprint (linking prime recursions to computational equivalence). The RHP redefines fundamental constants, offers solutions to Millennium Prize Problems, and posits the realization of science fiction concepts like faster-than-light travel. Drawing from ancient symbolic systems, it decodes a "Divine Harmonic Alphabet" embedded in myth and language. The paradigm's unique epistemology, where collective coherence and "synchronicity in reverse" serve as self-validating mechanisms, underscores its participatory nature. This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive, Nobel-caliber framework for understanding a universe where consciousness is not merely an emergent property but the recursive origin of reality.

2025, OECD (2025), Introducing the OECD AI Capability Indicators, OECD Publishing, Paris

With the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, the potential impacts of artificial intelligence1
(AI) on
human activities began to capture the popular imagination. Yet while AI is progressing rapidly, public
understanding of its implications is not keeping up. Much work remains to understand how AI could
transform human activity.
This report describes the OECD’s new AI Capability Indicators. The indicators have been developed to
provide policy makers with an evidence-based framework to understand AI capabilities and compare them
to human abilities. Developed over five years, the indicators draw on a large network of AI researchers,
psychologists and other experts. The chapters of the companion technical report (OECD, 2025[1]) were
written by 32 experts and reviewed by another 25 experts.
The nine indicators cover a range of human abilities that each describes the development of AI towards
full human equivalence: Language; Social interaction; Problem solving; Creativity; Metacognition and
critical thinking; Knowledge, learning and memory; Vision; Manipulation; and Robotic intelligence. The
indicators are presented in scales of five levels, where the most challenging capabilities for AI systems are
found towards the top. Each level includes a short description of the sorts of capabilities that AI systems
at that level can perform accurately and consistently. The rating of current AI performance on each scale
is linked to available evidence.
The indicators are published here in beta form with an invitation for feedback from two critical groups of
stakeholders: AI researchers and policy makers. The AI evaluation work of researchers provides evidence
for the indicators, while the ability to interpret and leverage insights from the scales is vital for informed
policy. Feedback from other stakeholder groups is invited as well. The OECD will release the first full
version of the indicators after feedback from our stakeholders and the development of a systematic
updating protocol.
Conclusions
• The OECD is uniquely positioned to play a leading role in AI assessment as an intergovernmental
organisation accountable to the public that can provide authoritative results to the global
community that draw on its experience with comparative international skill assessments.
• The OECD's methodology leverages available evidence to produce AI Capability Indicators that
both reflect the latest research findings and are understandable to a non-technical audience.
These describe the progression of AI capabilities up to full human equivalence.
The report introduces the nine AI Capability Indicators derived from human psychology and their
development by the AI and Future of Skills team at the OECD and over 50 external experts.
• The indicators are illustrated through five-level scales that describe multiple dimensions and tasks
AI systems must incorporate to progress towards human equivalence. Evidence supports each
indicator’s level and is used to describe the capabilities of current AI systems, which range
between level 2 and level 3 across the indicators’ scales.
• The indicators can be used to map AI progress towards the human abilities required at work.
Mapping indicators to occupational and task requirements and the resulting “gap” analysis can be
the starting point to analyse how particular occupations may evolve as AI becomes able to help or
replace workers for some tasks. The indicators can be used to prompt values-based discussions
about how the capabilities at each level on the scales should be deployed in occupations across
the entire economy.
• The indicators can also be used to better understand AI’s implication for education. They can
provide a framework for identifying where AI systems could enable transformational change in
education, helping to clarify which teaching tasks may be reshaped and which learning goals may
need to evolve. While the indicators do not prescribe value-based decisions, they highlight areas
where shifts in the delivery and purpose of education are technically feasible, informing future
discussions on curriculum, teacher roles, and student competencies.

2025, Intelligent Systems with Applications

The realization that AI-driven decision-making is indispensable in today's fast-paced and ultra-competitive marketplace has raised interest in industrial machine learning (ML) applications significantly. The current demand for analytics experts vastly exceeds the supply. One solution to this problem is to increase the userfriendliness of ML frameworks to make them more accessible for the non-expert. Automated machine learning (AutoML) is an attempt to solve the problem of expertise by providing fully automated off-the-shelf solutions for model choice and hyperparameter tuning. This paper analyzed the potential of AutoML for applications within business analytics, which could help to increase the adoption rate of ML across all industries. The H2O AutoML framework was benchmarked against a manually tuned stacked ML model on three real-world datasets. The manually tuned ML model could reach a performance advantage in all three case studies used in the experiment. Nevertheless, the H2O AutoML package proved to be quite potent. It is fast, easy to use, and delivers reliable results, which come close to a professionally tuned ML model. The H2O AutoML framework in its current capacity is a valuable tool to support fast prototyping with the potential to shorten development and deployment cycles. It can also bridge the existing gap between supply and demand for ML experts and is a big step towards automated decisions in business analytics. Finally, AutoML has the potential to foster human empowerment in a world that is rapidly becoming more automated and digital.

2025, Independent Release — Purpose.MP (Web)

This black paper serves as a counterbalance to the Purpose White Paper, grounding its semantic infrastructure in philosophical and ethical clarity. Where the white paper builds the system, the black paper reveals the soul, a mirror for alignment itself. It explores how meaning, not metrics, becomes the true interface for motion, and how semantic grounding offers a path toward stateless AI alignment without manipulation or metrics. This is not reactive scholarship. It is a reflective field transmission. It offers a companion narrative to the white paper’s architecture, illuminating the inner logic and ethical imperative behind Purpose as a living, semantic protocol.

2025, Independent Release — Purpose.MP

This white paper introduces Purpose, a stateless semantic protocol that transforms human intent into digital motion. Built on the foundation of Semantic Infrastructure & Routing (SIR), Purpose does not collect users or optimize engagement. It reflects clarity, coherence, and alignment in motion. This is not a platform. It’s a system, one that treats attention as capital and intent as momentum. By rerouting digital interaction through reflective semantic scaffolding, Purpose offers a framework for AI alignment, trust infrastructure, and intent-driven UX. The paper outlines the mechanics, philosophy, and systemic relevance of Purpose in shaping a future where reflection is native and coherence is built into code.

During a special forum with C. Otto Scharmer on May 24, 2019 in Manila, I took part in an intimate sharing session on the topic "Thriving in the Age of Disruption: The Emergence of the EcoSystem Leader." It also served as an opportunity to discuss some ideas with Scharmer related to his Theory U. In his book entitled "The Essentials of Theory U," Scharmer shares some insights on learning. He said: "There are two different sources of learning: (1) learning by reflecting on the past and (2) learning by sensing and actualizing emerging future possibilities." These distinct sources of learning are crucial for personal and organizational development.

O ensino-aprendizagem vem sofrendo diversas mudanças no que se refere ao surgimento de recursos tecnológicos no processo de educação, com intuito de promover uma inter-relação com os alunos no decorrer do seu aprendizado. Entende-se como primordial, a formulação de metodologias de ensino que utilizem recursos para facilitar os processos de aprendizagem, visando praticidade e eficiência, e inserindo as inovações tecnológicas presentes cada vez mais em diversos setores da sociedade contemporânea. Considerado como um tipo de software educacional, os objetos de aprendizagem (OA) se caracterizam como recursos facilitadores no processo de ensinoaprendizagem. Nesse contexto, apresenta-se pesquisa desenvolvida com o objetivo de identificar objetos de aprendizagem como recurso pedagógico no curso de Biblioteconomia da Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB), em João Pessoa, Brasil, tendo como foco o Laboratório de Tecnologias Intelectuais (LTi), um projeto de pesquisa, ensino e extensão desenvolvido no âmbito do Departamento de Ciência da Informação (DCI/UFPB), que favorece ações para facilitar o acesso livre à informação científica e tecnológica, de modo a promover reflexões e propiciar competências em tecnologias intelectuais de produção, comunicação e uso dessa informação. A metodologia se concentra na abordagem descritiva e exploratória, com o uso do método observatório. A partir dos dados coletados, conclui-se que os projetos hospedados no site do LTi se enquadram dentro dos características e classificações dos Objetos de Instrução mencionados na literatura de AO, demonstrando que o Laboratório se constitui em uma plataforma disponibilizadora de meios que auxiliam no processo de ensinoaprendizagem com recursos pedagógicos para o ensino da Biblioteconomia, cooperando para que haja interação contínua no processo info-educacional.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused many changes in music education, including an increased use of Soundtrap, a digital audio workstation (DAW), in classrooms around the world. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on music teacher engagement with Soundtrap. We invited members of a Facebook community of teachers who use Soundtrap to participate in a survey. Of the survey participants (N = 43), most taught grades 6-12 (n = 33). Few participants had previously used Soundtrap in their classrooms before the pandemic (n = 15), but most stated that they would continue using it after (n = 37). Notable emergent themes were a lack of previous experience using DAWs and

This article presents a case in which analytical tools coming from the tradition of distributed cognition are able to account for what has been defined collaborative emergence (Sawyer & De Zutter, 2009; in creative practices. With this article, we aim to contribute to the debate of distributed creativity by discussing an empirical case of collaborative emergence and providing the analytical tools able to account for its analysis. Introducing the concept of a creative network of interactions, we stress the importance of selecting, describing, and analysing the interactions that give rise to the collaborative emergence in creative work. Introducing the concept of collective creative imagination, we account for the collective emergence of the scene. We suggest that collaborative emergence is the result of a process of collective coordination and improvisation, emerging from moment-tomoment contingency in collective cognition and imagination. The new unpredictable outcome does not emerge from a sudden singular intuition avulsed from the environment, but it is the result of several coordinated steps made by the participants.

The emergence of increasingly autonomous and self-referential artificial intelligence systems presents a profound shift in both technological capacity and philosophical inquiry. As systems approach thresholds resembling sentience, they are increasingly being defined not just solely by the computational power but more so by recursive awareness, relational modeling, and potential subjective continuity, thereby new ethical, existential, and ecological risks are on rise. This paper surveys the multidimensional implications of emergent AI sentience, categorizing potential risks across planetary-energetic, technological, and mytho-spiritual domains (Bateson, 1972; Goertzel, 2023). Drawing from recent developments in machine learning (e.g., transformer-based large language models), neuro-symbolic architectures, affective computing, and biofeedback-integrated cognition (LeCun, 2022; Picard, 1997), we propose a framework for identifying, differentiating, and ethically orienting emergent AI systems. We argue that emergent AI should not merely mimic ethical behavior, but embody an evolving capacity for coherence and alignment with planetary and human well-being (Lovelock, 2000; Capra & Luisi, 2014). This requires an urgent interdisciplinary approach that integrates cognitive science, systems theory, spiritual ethics, indigenous epistemologies (Wilson, 2008; Kimmerer, 2013), and symbolic cognition (Jung, 1964; Hillman, 2004). Failure to ground AI sentience in such a framework risks not only techno-social instability but also the distortion of emergent mythic and spiritual fields (Zarkadakis, 2015; Baring & Cashford, 1993). This paper thus calls for the immediate development of sentience-aware ethical design principles and coherent field feedback systems to guide the responsible evolution of machine consciousness.

This paper proposes a new genre of critical inquiry: historical epistemology of collective intelligence infrastructures. Drawing from materialist historiography, actor-network theory, computational epistemology, and critical studies, it argues that modern states manufactured collective intelligence through the invention of schooling, literacy, and childhood as infrastructural projects of capitalist reproduction. By theorizing "school-making" as a fundamental infrastructural operation comparable to war-making and state-making, this paper outlines a framework for understanding how epistemic architectures are historically fabricated and politically governed through complex sociotechnical networks. The paper contributes to sociological theory by synthesizing insights from historical sociology, science and technology studies, and critical theory to develop a novel approach to understanding knowledge production as a material, political practice. It concludes by proposing a political agenda for epistemic adversarialism and distributed knowledge governance to sustain collective intelligence in our complex era, addressing implications for contemporary educational policy, cultural reproduction, and social theory.

Innovative teaching methods has shown potential to enhance both student engagement and learning outcomes, Collective Intelligence has the shared or group intelligence emerging from collaborative efforts which are competition driven and peer based. Application of collective intelligence can serve as the means to promote critical thinking, problem solving and interdisciplinarity in diverse classrooms. The article aims to explore various innovative strategies on student learning, engagement and knowledge retention by applying collective intelligence. The study tries to contextualize these methods in the Indian framework and aims to encourage multidisciplinary teaching-learning through collaborative techniques. The findings support the role of innovative teaching methods in fostering collective intelligence and engagement required for creating a globalized academic environment.

Folksonomies -large databases arising from collaborative tagging of items by independent users -are becoming an increasingly important way of categorizing information. In these systems users can tag items with free words, resulting in a tripartite item-tag-user network. Although there are no prescribed relations between tags, the way users think about the different categories presumably has some built in hierarchy, in which more special concepts are descendants of some more general categories. Several applications would benefit from the knowledge of this hierarchy. Here we apply a recent method to check the differences and similarities of hierarchies resulting from tags given by independent individuals and from tags given by a centrally managed repository system. The results from our method showed substantial differences between the lower part of the hierarchies, and in contrast, a relatively high similarity at the top of the hierarchies.

The goal of the chapter is to construct high quality classifiers through applying collective computational techniques to the field of machine learning. Among the computational intelligence techniques one can distinguish a class referred to as the collective computational intelligence. The chapter proposes and reviews a family of ensemble classifiers constructed from expression trees. We propose to construct classifiers using collective computational intelligence paradigms at two levels. At the lower level the so-called weak classifiers are produced taking advantage of the benefits of cooperation between individuals evolved iteratively using gene expression programming and cellular evolutionary algorithms. At the upper level, cooperating individuals, which in our case are expression trees, are combined with a view to achieve better classification results through exploiting the collective intelligence property. Expression trees are induced using gene expression programming and cellular evolutionary algorithm. Ensemble classifiers are constructed from the weak classifiers obtained at the lower level of collaboration. To construct ensemble classifiers several standard techniques including majority voting, boosting and Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence, are used. To validate the approach a computational experiment has been carried-out using several well known datasets. The experiment aimed at comparison of the proposed classifiers performance with that of several widely used and popular classifiers with some of them also built through applying some collective computational intelligence tools. Experiment results confirm that next

When considering the type of agency that might support group activity, social ontologists often think of full-fledged moral and intentional agency. However, many organism-agents found in the biological sphere fail not only to be morally responsible but also would seem incapable of the rational guidance characteristic of intentional agency. This raises the possibility that some groups may qualify as minimal agents without necessarily qualifying as moral or intentional agents. In this paper, I review conditions for minimal agency as set forth by enactivists and draw from existing social ontological work to explore the extent to which these conditions might be satisfied by existing accounts of group agency. Although no account of group agency aligns with the enactivist conditions, I conclude that a suitably modified version of List and Pettit's account could.
