This graphic was inspired by both the work of LtCol Gary Beaver, USA (Ret), then in Bosnia, and the efforts of the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) to create a global inter-agency information sharing capability.  We still need this, at the global as well as the regional levels.

This was created by Robert Steele in the 1990's when it became apparent that top-down secrecy-based government was completely unsuited to reality and the needs for public consensus decision-making taking the long-view as advocated by Steward Brand.

The conceptualization of this chart was indirectly influenced by the works of Kirkpatrick Sale and by the Native American concept of “seventh generation” decision-making–making every decision with a profound appreciation for its implications on the seventh generation out (roughly 230 years out at the time).

Epoch B is a phrase used by someone specific that we cannot run down right now.
