THE PEOPLES' FInES TOOLKIT: CSG/M John Sutcliffe-Braithwaite

1. THE PEOPLES’ FInES TOOLKIT: CSG/M
Hello, everyone: I am delighted to be here today!
My name: John Sutcliffe-Braithwaite, My agenda:
• Introduction to CSG/M (fuller exposition in the White Paper)
– It can be seen as a ubiquitous FI Societal experimental methodology
• THE BIG QUESTION: What is Future Internet in the Real World?
– It is the socio-technology layer for complex society: we are key players
• A NEW RESEARCH PARADIGM:
– The need for a new federation of research to effect strategic change
– A new theory & science of societal complexity
– A programme of Action Research/NPD to deliver CSG/M to the world
• My Aim: TO SHARE OUR WORK WIDELY. White Paper available:
“EU Complexity Research-an integrated approach-THE PEOPLES TOOLKIT”

2. a proposal for federation between Future Internet Science/FInES & CAPS
to design, deliver, and deploy an affordance called
THE PEOPLES’ TOOLKIT whose rationale is:
Science of complex systems + SocioTechnology + Emergence + ecologies + People:
IS ‘SMART SOCIETY’ DYNAMICS
VALUES ARE THE NEW GAME IN TOWN
The science: Computational Socio-Geonomics
ENGINEER METALOGER Meta-model processor
Introduce WWW Computed social systems
Apply S-GAIA Toolset for Mankind
Outcome MODEL-WORLD Joined up society & systems
Exploitation Institutions Handle global dynamics
Vision SMART SOCIETY Sustainable world ecology
The dynamics of society are the result of Abstract values perturbing the CAS called Society.
‘SMART SOCIETY is the continuous Living Lab of life, an in-vivo expression of the complex
game of life using the entire range of tools that we can devise to generate a better world

4. THE PEOPLES’ TOOLKIT: CSG/M - the societal layer for FI
We all ‘do complexity’, a kind-of Darwinian model
But what is it fundamentally? - The evolving CAS of society
We all ‘do systems’, multi-level, Meta-models
CSG/M takes systems thinking to new limits – computable society
We all do ‘SOCIETY’ - the greatest ERM System
Computing in-vivo human purpose, will & wilfulness
We will all be part of COMPUTABLE SOCIETY’
FI-CSG/M Engineers are socio-technical Meta-modellers
Society’s complex systems available to all are the new social media
Metaloger tapestries retain in perpetuity the aetiology of all ‘life’
SOCIONOME enactments index its dynamic DB
We each weave our own tapestry: life uniquely computed together.

5. THE METALOGER PARADIGM SHIFT
To the great sweep of change that is simplistically categorised as a technology-push and market-pull, can be added 'people-power' somewhat
contentiously. There is a wide concern at blind technology leading the world towards the brink , and one of the answers is to give people the
means to voice concerns in a way that makes them effective; there is an even wider issue, one of purpose and involvement generally in the
march of progress. The interest in more effective democratic processes is widely pursued - from the western model, to that of China, from
the model of involvement on the factory floor in Volvo or Japan, to the delivery of low technology to the Third World. We envisage a different
way of re-capturing the organic wholeness of earlier societies:

6. CSG/M: FI: GPS: the federation for Computable Society
• The argument: ‘FI’ is a fundamental phenomenon that
requires a fundamental solution –as yet undefined:
– it comprises intertwined Society/Complexity/ICT: we have not
defined what this means. Society & complexity is obvious at the everyday
level – but its scientific basis & how it is computed is a new quest
• FI choreographs solutions in this complex world:
– CSG/M is a toolkit to support this; it’s hypothesis is that Meta-
Modelling is how we work as humans; it is the basis of human
complexity & involves all of Society: us, everyone, everywhere
• The toolkit is a generic ICT overlay on all existing systems;
over the FI; it is: an evolutionary set of complex ecologies;
in-vivo: processing ‘life’; it’s basis is novel systems-science
– It will introduce & build a new computational paradigm of human
purpose i.e. Intertwined ‘Society/complexity/Meta-modelling’.

8. CSG/M experiencing a way to a better world
 Bottom-up people’s perturbation is the new game
Traditional societal control has given way to democracy and modern
Communications – typefied by twittering in Tariha Square
 Society is messy, old stability gone, no silver bullet
‘Controlling’ models of Society have to be re-fashioned to build the
new paradigm of people ‘engaged, enabled and empowered’
A new partnership and model of ‘GPS’ choreographs global
Metaloger-tapestries of evolving society
We will all ‘engineer CSG/M’ – the societal internet
Complexity science of social behaviour, is designed SOCIONOME,
mimicking genomics, enabling in-vivo computational society,
everyone will experience it: the new social computing
Metaloger-labs are working socio-technology: ‘how we do things’, in
our mind, our systems, & life

10. Rich Picture THE SOCIAL-GROUP (CAS)2 PARADIGM
virtual networks need 'virtual' leadership for modern flexible organisations in which
anyone can take the lead according to the priority of activities and the nature of each
member (or specialist's) contribution, cf. Belbin's roles. Shakleton exhibited the

11. Engineering the Socio-technology of
complex Society
The paradigm of Computable Society will involve huge
ubiquitous societal involvement
Multiple Societal ecologies is a global scale effort; global GPS
has a pivotal role in this major societal change programme
CSG/M will counter fragmented, fraudulent & criminal
approaches to complexity in the real world
The EU is likely to lead CSG/M – eventually and it represents
a major opportunity to support world sustainability
There are >1000 societal EU initiatives; FuturICT is a leader. There is a global
crisis; BAU is not an option. CSG/M is the right toolkit to support an integrated
approach to FUTURE INTERNET & Complexity in the Real World.
