Federation through Applications
Reflection
The future of innovation
We are about to dive into an ocean of details – so let's make sure we see the big picture first. What is all this really all about?
If you allow yourself to spend a few moments with this reflection about the future of innovation, we expect that the result will be amazement: How can it be possible that a creative frontier of such a paramount importance has been ignored for so long – at this advanced stage of our civilization; and in spite of what the giants have been telling us (see Federation through Stories).
A partial explanation can be found on our front page, by which we introduced our initiative: Owing to the kind of knowledge we've created and prioritized, we ended up being a people lost among the trees and not seeing the forest. You may now imagine that the forest is on a mountain, and that this mountain – however paramount its size and importance may be – has of course remained ignored.
To show this mountain will be our purpose here. By showing this collection of prototypes, which have been designed strategically to cover the space of the 'mountain', we undertake to make what's been ignored visible and open to co-creative engagements.
But this explanation is still insufficient to do justice to a paradox of this magnitude. And indeed – it will turn out – it is really just half the story. The other half will be the theme of Federation through Conversations, where we will see that our ignorance of systems has really been the consequence of the nature of our socialization – and on a deeper level of the way in which we have been evolving as culture, and as society. We shall see that to be able to intervene in this evolution is the core of our present historical task – and the true departure point of our next paradigm.
