04 / HOW IT GROWS

How does a public knowledge map
keep getting closer to reality?

  1. 01
    Locate

    Identify the domain, scale, level of evidence and value premises of a question.

  2. 02
    Frame questions

    Break vague unknowns down into questions that can be observed, reasoned about, compared or discussed.

  3. 03
    Connect

    Connect cross-disciplinary evidence, competing theories, historical cases and the perspectives of different civilizations.

  4. 04
    Probe

    Design experiments, simulations, thought experiments and public discussions to look for signals that can update our understanding.

  5. 05
    Revise

    Publicly record changes in evidence, counterexamples, disagreements and versions, so the map keeps evolving.
