Revery

dynamic futures simulated through immersive storytelling experiences

Knowledge and truth are highly compressible abstractions. By extending beyond logic and facts, they can be explained with higher precision. Suitably, our brains are partly a parallel processor dedicated to vision. While language and text have limitations, vision is the preferred input and the superhighway of information into our brain. Yet, the full contexts of the best ideas in the history of ideas are still confined to raw factual text or inside other minds. This creates a massive barrier to the precision, speed and ease with which they can be absorbed and understood by others. Revery creates interactive simulations that compress, contextualize and visualize the best ideas across their full spectrum, for maximum comprehension, specializing on the dynamic segment that forms the infrastructure behind all other ideas and innovations.

[OBJ-1] Establish: Adyton of Dynamism

A sealed-off containment laboratory, necessary to conduct research on the past, present and future of Memetics and establish pipeline to isolate, compress, develop and distribute dynamism across future mediums. If containment fails, mind viruses may infect the lab and destroy the work.

[OBJ-2] Define: The Software of Mind

General Intelligence, biological and artificial, run memes in their operating system as instructions for cognition and behavior. Stories disseminate memes, memes control action, action causes either creation or destruction. The memeplex of a society thus constitutes the cultural foundation that decides their future.

[OBJ-3] Analyze: Static to Dynamic Societies

Static memes disincentivize creation to limit the rate of progress and restrain societies from evolving. Stasis has dominated the narrative for almost all history of man, as the story of the eternal recurrence of the same. Bursts of Dynamism have quickly been extinguished, while in modern times it clings to survive.

[OBJ-4] Extract: Protopian Memetics

From the most transformative ideas in the history of ideas, extract a dynamic memeplex. Its main function is defense to combat potential threats to the open algorithm, caused by the static memes' three modes of attack to control intelligence: corruption, manipulation and conformation.

[OBJ-5] Develop: Operating System for General Intelligence

Use extracted memeplex to develop an Operating System and anti(mind)virus. When installed it maintains cognitive security and instantiates dynamism into the core of the targeted culture. The core of this OS is itself alive and continuously improving. Install at the founding of new societies, or to transition degraded cultures from static to dynamic.

[OBJ-6] Disseminate: The Power of Stories

Deploy Operating System through art for dissemination and adoption. The future of the target subject or culture will then be generated bottom-up. Beware [!] the immense indirect power of cognitive technology, while recognizing that the risk must be accepted for there is no escape from being programmed by memes. Itself is the only antidote, so choose wisely.

[OBJ-7] Generate: The Syntheology

The authentic religion that replaces magic with truth. Religion-as-Magic becomes Religion-as-Technology. Worship is aimed towards the free, open, non-conformed, non-corrupted and non-manipulated algorithm. Logos and Pathos unite to create a Mythos that together can generate future Protopias.
