Our goal here is to include experts into the ('upper') loop where critical insights and solutions relevant to the public and institutions are created. Processes We provide a way to ask questions (typically of the type: What do you guys know about this phenomenon? What are the systemic causes? How can they be explained to a non-expert? What might be a leverage point â strategy for systemic change) to selected people, groups or communities â or for creating a team around the question. As in the lower loop, here too there is an editorial / sensemaking process orchestrated via DebateGraph. Also a federation process takes place: The chances are that the insights and solutions will initially be expressed in a technical language of a discipline (for ex. finance). The challenge then is to create a completely clear, moving insight, that can be shared to the public (for ex. why is the existing financial system a form of legalized xyz?). These are the nuts and bolts of "Wikileaks for insights" Ultimately a clear strategy / leverage point needs to be formulated. Or a knowledge base for creating strategies. Tools We propose to use DebateGraph to orchestrate these processes. Working on the paradigm As in the case of Induct, here too we collaborate with DebateGraph as a company stakeholder to develop software tools based on systemic innovation. Here is our value proposition to DebateGraph as KF stakeholder: The mission of DebateGraph (shared by KF) is to develop sensemaking procedures â and ultimately facilitate, even enable understanding and solutions to key issues. A tool should not backfire; it should not be a tool for unintended suicides; so when making this sort of tools, we also assume a responsibility. We point at the danger of being stuck in the 'problem domain' â the phenomenological view of the world, represented by the lower loop in our Vertical Infinity Kernel. So our value proposition is to develop together tools and processes for 'an upper floor' of DebateGraph as sensemaking tool (...).
