OrganicDesign/Vision statement

Our vision is to see the world, its inhabitants, and resources governed by a global unified system having having the maximum peace and well-being of all inhabitants and the environment as its fundamental bottom line. This system evolves toward ever closer alignment with its bottom line by its architecture being open and by providing the ability for people to independently modify any aspect of it and assess the value of those modifications with respect to its bottom line.

Full openness includes maximising the accessibility and understanding of the relevant information and concepts. Combining this principle with the ability to change any aspect and the procedures to test how aligned a system is with the vision and values allows us to govern ourselves as a planet for more effectively by applying the vast spectrum of available knowledge and expertise toward the achieving the vision in an objective and unbiased way.

Self governance: When a trust group collaborate on their shared vision and work together to actualise it in alignment with their defined values, they need to have methods and tools available for making decisions together, resolving conflicts and managing resources in their system. Self governance is the ability for a trust group to do these things without requiring any external parties, and in general, is how a group's system can undergo change in response to feedback from its members and stakeholders and from changes in the environment it operates within. The manifesto to which Organic Design is aligned follows the bottom-up principle that organisation at the global scale is achieved by organisation beginning with individuals and local regions, rather than being determined from larger centralised institutions downwards. From this global context, self-governance in alignment with the values allows the best known options to be found and selected for all aspects of the social mechanism. This is achieved by making more effective, unhindered use of the totality of available knowledge and expertise. [more]
