2. Starting Point: PFTF Founding Principles
Short Name Description
Stewardship Ensure all future generations have a healthy planet a.nd ecosystem
on/in which to thrive
Collective Intelligence Learn and improve how we create better solutions as a community
than we can as individuals
Co-Evolution Adapt our mindsets, practices, values, and protocols (human systems)
as our tools evolve, and evolve our tools as our human systems evolve,
bidirectionally
Scale Evolve practices & tools that scale to have planetary impact
Leverage Seek always to “Go Meta” for impact via networked improvement
communities, in the A-B-C sense
Bootstrapping Iterate, learn, adapt often, quickly. Accept that every iteration is
imperfect.
Incubation Spawn collaborating initiatives, each aligned with these principles
Ecosystem DNA Create guidelines that allow aligned autonomous scalable
collaboration, without single points of failure or control.

3. Stewardship
• Ensure all future generations have a healthy
planet and ecosystem on/in which to thrive
• Current Energy
– Lots of projects, lots of controversy
• Grade: C-
• TODO
– Provide current activities / teams / projects with
scalable augmentation tools & practices

4. Collective Intelligence
• Learn and improve how we create better
solutions as a community than we can as
individuals
• Current Energy
– Lots of top-down tools & applications
– Few collaborative tools & applications
• Grade: D-
• TODO
– Expand wikis, simulation tools,
– Establish GlobalSIM project

5. Co-Evolution
• Adapt our mindsets, practices, values, and
protocols (human systems) as our tools evolve,
and evolve our tools as our human systems
evolve, bidirectionally
• Current Energy
– Almost no appreciation of this principle
• Grade: F+
• TODO
– Articulate, Document, Educate, Practice, Embody Co-
Evolution in everything related to PFTF, COI, KF, etc.

6. Scale
• Evolve practices & tools that scale to have
planetary impact
• Current Energy
– There are scalable technologies that are having impact
– Almost no new scalable practices
• Grade: C+
• TODO
– Do not focus on scale
– Focus instead on DNA for scaling

7. Leverage
• Seek always to “Go Meta” for impact via networked
improvement communities, in the A-B-C sense
• Current Energy
– Professional associations are “B”
• Grade: D+
• TODO
– Establish a “NIC of NICs” activity
– Look for other candidate “NIC of NICs” already established
– Prepare to merge with other / better candidate “NIC of
NICs” as we encounter them

8. Bootstrapping
• Iterate, learn, adapt often, quickly. Accept that
every iteration is imperfect.
• Current Energy
– Agile thinking is close
• Grade: C+
• TODO
– Embody bootstrapping in every related activity
– Establish & Grow the Community of Impact (COI)

9. Incubation
• Spawn collaborating initiatives, each aligned
with these principles
• Current Energy
– Chaotic
– The “dynamics of team emergence” discussion in
“Amigos”
• Grade: F-
• TODO
– Create the ecosystem for “black boxes”

10. “Black boxes” in context
Black boxes

11. Ecosystem DNA
• Create guidelines that allow aligned
autonomous scalable collaboration, without
single points of failure or control.
• Current Energy
• Grade
• TODO
– Establish and co-evolve the COI practices
– Study collaborology / establish sociomatics

12. PFTF
Architecture
(wip)

13. Creating an ecosystem for…
• Dictipedia – portable toolbox of words & concepts
• Learntweets – “What I learned when I was…”
• WYSIWYDo – coordinated atomic execution
• Framework: “Principles of Collaboration”
• CCC’s: “communication & commitment to collaborate” – the
unilateral action between business card & contract
• Federated identity infrastructure – transparent network of identity
(CCC’s at core)
• GlobalSIM – executable knowledge for predictive simulation
• “new” knowledge engineering – the practice around GlobalSIM
• PFTF-2018 Challenge – What could we demonstrate on 20181209
that could stimulate innovation for the next 3-5 decades?
• …

14. CCC
Structure

15. Where “we” are
• Establishing & Embodying the COI
• Pushing on PFTF-2018
• Creating the ecosystem
• Defining the “black boxes”
• Creating a legal entity to support all this
• Looking for individuals who align with this –
to collaborate with!

16. Thank you!
