Vectors in the B-cluster

For test, start at the top, per Maslow, of the hierarchy of human values.
There, you have 14 concepts. In order for them to relate properly,
they must be defined properly. It seems that Maslow has done a nice
job of percolating. I would trust his judgement on these 14 words
because he had more brains than I do.

So rather than writing adout Maslow endlessly, why not focus on
seeing if these 14 points really exist? If we could begin work on
this, it is almost guaranteed to solve some of our worst problems
because Maslow was a scientist above all and only presented
alternative futures.

Unfortunate how so many people quote Maslow and write about
Maslow but have no idea what else he had to offer us on a silver
platter.

You could say that he was working on a "Science of How to Get Along with One Another."

Sounds like something we could use. How much would you PAY for such a
Discovery? Maslow had the patent on it, but forgot to drop off the
papers in the proper slot.

"Our founders have set a goal of devoting approximately 1% of Google's equity and yearly profits to philanthropy."

"Cheapskates. This shows that they are stuck in the old economy paradigm, not B-economics."

 

The Eularchy

The eularchy is composed of the set of Maslowian B-values arranged in network space such that any signs of
breaking ties between the individual values will depend on Lukasiewicz logic and not human intervention.

Voting and Rating

Each site or blog must be rated across all of the B-values on a Lickert scale. The form is being developed and will be available in the near future via links to Third.ORG. Each rating will be cross-referenced to the professional profile of the rater so that reports will be useful to marketing and research professionals.

As soon as I have figured out how to do this using the "UNIX Philosophy" (i.e. with minimal text tools such as grep, awk, etc., I will present the rating system for Beta testing. Thanks for visiting and I look forward to your input in the near future.

The B-values

First, here are the B-values (bookmark these):

* WHOLENESS (unity; integration; tendency to one-ness; interconnectedness; simplicity; organization; structure; dichotomy-transcendence; order);

* PERFECTION (necessity; just-right-ness; just-so-ness; inevitability; suitability; justice; completeness; "oughtness");

* COMPLETION (ending; finality; justice; "it's finished"; fulfillment; finis and telos; destiny; fate);

* JUSTICE (fairness; orderliness; lawfulness; "oughtness");

* ALIVENESS (process; non-deadness; spontaneity; self-regulation; full-functioning);

* RICHNESS (differentiation, complexity; intricacy);

* SIMPLICITY (honesty; nakedness; essentiality; abstract, essential, skeletal structure);

* BEAUTY (rightness; form; aliveness; simplicity; richness; wholeness; perfection; completion; uniqueness; honesty);

* GOODNESS (rightness; desireability; oughtness; justice; benevolence; honesty);

* UNIQUENESS (idiosyncrasy; individuality; non-comparability; novelty);

* EFFORTLESSNESS (ease; lack of strain, striving or difficulty; grace; perfect, beautiful functioning);

* PLAYFULNESS (fun; joy; amusement; gaiety; humor; exuberance; effortlessness);

* TRUTH(honesty; reality; nakedness; simplicity; richness; oughtness; beauty; pure, clean and unadulterated; completeness; essentiality).

* SELF-SUFFICIENCY (autonomy; independence; not-needing-other-than-itself-in-order-to-be-itself; self-determining; environment-transcendence; separateness; living by its own laws).

--------------------------

Each one of the B-values forms the nidus of a holarchy and each B-value is connected to each other B-value such that any hierarchy among the B-values is idiosyncratic to the hierarchy leading to each B-value. That is to say, there can be a distinct hierarchy of the B-values for an individual or an ontology, but no B-value is more or less important than any other B-value in and of itself. The B-values are connected into a "string" which denotes the realm of value or general value.
