The Project
The state of the world calls for a complete reorganisation of global society in alignment with sustainable principles. To further this cause there is a project with the following goals:
- To unite humanity in peace and justice
- Having achieved a harmonious and sustainable society, humanity unfolds its full potential
- It is proposed to achieve this by going through the following three steps
- 1: Define an evolving standard for sustainable development - Open Standard
- 2: Develop software tools which embody this standard - Peer
- 3: Deploy organisational systems based on said tools, giving everyone the ability to create sustainable high quality products and services - Peer-based Organisation
- Which creates the foundations and momentum to achieve the next steps
- 4: Unify and harmonise existing systems through agreement to use new standards and tools, transform economic and political structures with high speed
Much has already been worked out - however, the contributions of skilled technical writers and programmers would be greatly appreciated at this stage.

Fuller's Geoscope
"With the Geoscope humanity would be able to recognize formerly invisible patterns and thereby to forecast and plan in vastly greater magnitude than heretofore. "The consequences of various world plans could be computed and projected, using the accumulated history-long inventory of economic, demographic, and sociological data. All the world would be dynamically viewable and picturable and radioable to all the world, so that common consideration in a most educated manner of all world problems by all world people would become a practical everyday, -hour and -minute event." -- R. Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller, 1981, The Geoscope chapter in Critical Path
