Holotopia
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.
Holotopia is a social order of things that 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.
As a prototype, Holotopia undertakes 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.
Five insights
Five insights
Holotopia follows from a single principle, axiom or rule of thumb – that knowledge must be listened to and used. Or as we like to phrase it
Knowledge must be federated
Just as the case was in Galilei's time – as soon as we liberate ourselves from renegade socialization which is once again keeping our minds and our evolution in 'house arrest', and begin to heed to knowledge of knowledge – a new approach to knowledge is ready to emerge, and lead to comprehensive change. We call that emerging paradigm in knowledge work holoscope
A single value
By federating knowledge, we arrive at a single value – wholeness.
Wholeness it as the quality that distinguishes a well-functioning mechanism and a healthy and thriving human being.
