We've formed the conclusion over time that leaders spend too much time on the 20% that is contentious or worrysome, and not nearly enough time on the 80% that is of common interest but perhaps not controversial.  We have all failed for decades, since the value of information as a tangible and intangible “good” has been recognized, to create an information commons.  This graphic, first created for the Peacekeeping Intelligence Conference in Sweden in December 2004.  The time has come to unity humanity with information shared and sense made, and in so doing, to harness the wealth-creating power of the human brain in all its forms.

Mike Hayden introduced the important concept of being able to connect the dots across disciplines from ingestion point onwards, not only at the finished production level.  Steve Edwards flipped chart to show dots coming it at the top, and Robert Steele added the last three bars, Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), Information Operations (IO), and all Other.

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.

This graphic was created when Bill Ruh briefed the CISCO Application Oriented Network (AON) around town, and we all realized that CATALYST (Computer-Aided Tools for the Analysis of Science & Technology) as defined by Diane Webb and Dennis McCormick under the leadership of Gordon Oehler, could now reside in the cloud.  When combined with the TOOZL offering of STRONG ANGEL, it is clear there is no impediment to what the Swedes call Multinational, Multiagency, Multidisciplinary, Multidomain Information-Sharing and Sesne-Making (M4IS2) other than leadership ignorance and leadership lack of integrity.
