Holotopia vision and mission

As part of our initiative to develop knowledge federation as an academic field and a real-life praxis, we present to you the Holotopia prototype.

As a vision of a social order of things, holotopia is practically realizable and yet more auspicious than the common utopias. It is realizable because we already own the knowledge needed to make it possible. It is more auspicious because the authors of common utopias either lacked the knowledge of what is possible, or conceived their visions before the possibilities we have today became manifest.

The mission of the Holotopia prototype is to facilitate the pursuit and the realization of that the holotopia vision.

What makes the holotopia particularly attractive is a paradox:

Comprehensive change can be easy – even when smaller and obviously necessary changes may be impossible.

Holotopia summary

In the spirit of knowledge federation, we offer holotopia as "the point of it all", or technically as the circle in the information holon in which the knowledge federation prototype is the square.

Let us explain this point here by a mockup logical argument. We may interpret the "H" as "H ⇒ H", which is a tautology. But when written as "Holoscope ⇒ Holotopia", it becomes an intuitively obvious theorem – which our project undertakes to federate: When we liberate ourselves from our socialized ways of looking at the world and begin to see it holistically, then a wonderful new world, a whole world, is the natural result.
