Holoscope is defined as the alternative and the antidote to narrow frame.

Science gave us new ways to look at the world, and our vision expanded beyond bounds. The telescope and the microscope enabled us to see the things that were far too distant or too small to be seen by the naked eye. At the same time, science had the tendency to keep us focused on things that were either too distant or too small to be relevant – compared to all those big things, right in front of our eyes, which now demand our attention. Holoscope is conceived as a challenge, a placeholder, to academia, to give the contemporary people and society a functional way to see the world. A way that will empower us to see what goes on, and to take care of it.

Once the holoscope is in place as the way of looking at the world, the holotopia vision is the natural result.

-* the correction of an epistemological error; answer to the question "How should we see the world?", and "What should knowledge be like?" Instead of trying to compose a jigsaw puzzle-like "reality picture" (and ignoring all that fails to fit in), we create a multiplicity of views, using all potentially relevant data. The goal is to see the whole from all sides, and in correct proportions  – to be able to attain a correct [[gestalt|<em>gestalt</em>]].
