How to Visualize the Growth of the Matrix-8 Structure
The system I am describing here is an Internet-based system that can enhance or even replace all examples of the Democratic Process as currently practiced in large groups. My system has never existed before, and therefore it can be far from intuitive. By including graphic representations of what I have in mind, I hope to make my written explanations as understandable as possible.
As I've explained elsewhere, my system is far superior to the stopgap governmental systems Mankind has been laboring under since the Agricultural Revolution. Please don't be put off by the following esoteric interlocking Cubes floating in air – they can help you to understand a system which has the potential to greatly increase the quality of your life. I am talking about your ability to anonymously participate in deliberations, and then vote anonymously on the pending matters vital to your future. That should be important to you. The following diagrams and their explanations should help you see how this new system actually works.
Visualizing the Dynamic Structure
By an initial self-administered Survey of a growing Cause Group, 8 Members who have the greatest degree of Agreement about their Cause are assigned to deliberate in an 8-PAC (8 People in Active Communication). Now imagine a large Cube described by its 12 rigid black Lines. Like all Cubes, it has 6 Sides and 8 Corners. Imagine the 8 Members of our 8-PAC as red rubber balls occupying the 8 Corners of the Cube. This is an image of an elemental 8-PAC. It is also the basic element of a 3-D Fractal Cube that expands geometrically as a Matrix – 8, 64, 512, etc. Whether we are talking about a group of 50, 500, or 500,000,000 – at each Level, it operates exactly the same as if you and seven friends were trying to determine what to do next about something important to you all.
In this graphic representation, when the balls are red it means that the 8 Members are ready for, or are in the midst of Deliberations in their mini-Chatroom atmosphere. They continue in their Deliberation mode until they reach an Accord about some aspect of their Cause that they want to communicate to the other 8-PAC's in the Matrix. When they have finished deliberating amongst themselves for the moment, our red Members change to blue – signaling that they are now ready to communicate their Accords with the larger Matrix.
Delegates Share the Data
Once they have something they want to share, they then elect one of their Members as their Delegate. (In any Matrix of any size, each Corner of each Cube has its fixed unique Identifying Number. And to maintain anonymity, Members in their 8-PAC's address each other—not by name—but by their Corner's Identifying Number: #1 through #8.) In this example, 8-PAC Member #6 was chosen to carry the 8-PAC's message to the rest of the Matrix. The now blue rubber ball, representing their elected Delegate, moves to the center of their Cube. At this point, Member #6 has two duties: 1) To continue with Deliberations with his or her Peers in their 1st Level 8-PAC; and 2) To enter into Deliberations with his or her Peers in the 2nd Level 8-PAC now being created.
The center point to which Member #6 moves, is coincident with one of the Corners of the larger Cube of the next Level up. In this manner, starting from their 1st Level 8-PAC, their elected Delegate and 7 other Delegates from seven other 1st Level 8-PAC's create the growing Fractal – in the form of the larger Cube describing the 2nd Level. Every Level after the 1st Level is made up from the Delegates just below it. Even if there is only 1 other Delegate sitting in his or her corner when Member #6 gets there, Deliberations can continue. And once all the 8 Corners of the larger Cube are occupied, they have created their complete 2nd Level. To continue Deliberations they would then elect their Delegate who would move to the center of their 2nd Level Cube, immediately describing a Corner in the next Level to be formed: the 3rd Level.
We have seen that each 1st Level 8-PAC is made up of 8 Members. So, a complete 2nd Level 8-PAC is made up of 64 Members. And eight complete 2nd Level 8-PAC's make up a complete 3rd Level 8-PAC – a total of 512 Members. 8 X 8 X 8 = 512. (But no Member is deliberating with more than 7 others at any one time.) Represented as a 3-D Fractal with the Cube as the elemental unit, a completed 3rd Level 8-PAC looks like this:
This is a picture of a complete 3rd Level 8-PAC of 512 Members. Think of all those red rubber balls held in place in their Corners by the rigid bars describing the Cubes. That is the repeating form of any 3-D Geometric Fractal that describes a Cube Matrix of any size.
Surveys Continue to Concentrate Agreement
Now lets give life to all those Members in their Deliberations. As Deliberations get underway, watch the red glow as Members deliberate and digest the new information they glean from their 7 Peers. Then, when they reach Accords they wish to share with the larger Matrix, watch the blue glow as the information flows up the Levels. Then, it turns red again as the information flows back down to be discussed and understood in the lower Levels. Picture these continuing cycles from 8-PAC to 8-PAC, and Level to Level, continuing as the Data is discussed, and Importances refined.
This cycling will generally continue until a point of stasis – where little forward progress is being made in relation to the Cause. If the Cause Group has as yet been unable to reach any Actionable Accords, the 8-PAC's need to be reordered to further concentrate Agreement. Since the whole purpose of the Matrix-8 Platform is to solve problems in the Real World and get things done – sitting day after day arguing with #4 and #7 about something you are sure about, is a waste of time. So, at this point, a new Survey should be called for. Only then, will forward progress in the Cause continue to be made.
Graphically speaking, those rubber balls you are imagining, are being held in place by rigid bars: the Lines describing the interlocking Cubes of the Matrix. But when a Survey is called in order to reorder the 8-PAC's into greater Agreement, all the balls float free from their positions in all the Levels. While discussions are always ongoing in the larger Chatroom of their Cause Group—ever refining general Understanding and Agreements—for the moment, Deliberations within their 8-PAC Matrix is halted. They hover in the air until the Survey is completed. But once the Survey reveals new levels of Understanding and Agreement—Member by Member—they are drawn to clump to each other according to the degree of their Agreements. From these clumps new 1st Level 8-PAC's are formed. And similarly, all newly formed 8-PAC's are clumped together to maximize Agreements in the higher Levels as the new Matrix is formed. You can think of the whole system as a pulsating Agreement Factory.
The rigid bars of our Matrix have stayed in place, maintaining the form of the structure. And now, reordered into their new 1st Level 8-PAC's, and re-energized by the greater Agreement they find among their 7 new Peers, Members pick up their Deliberations – always with the intention of eventually reaching for the Actionable Accords necessary to realize their particular Cause. From their new 1st Level 8-PAC's they elect Delegates who form the new 2nd Level; they, in turn, begin their Deliberations, and send their Delegates to form the new 3rd Level, etc. Thus, the Corners in the Fractal are newly repopulated to the extent of the number of Members of the Cause Group currently forming the Matrix. And if new Members have joined the Cause Group—growing the Matrix—they too will be assigned to 8-PAC's according to their surveyed importance's.
The Members continue this cycle of Creating, and Deliberating, then Disbanding, Surveying and Restructuring their Matrix – until Actionable Accords are finally agreed upon. Then they act to realize their Cause in the Real World. There is so much to be done in the world that many folks might find themselves drawn to various different Cause Groups at the same time. But they are not involved in any Cause Group to just spin their wheels and sit around and chat. These are serious folks – there to arrive at Actionable Accords to get the job done! And when the task at hand is indeed done, if they have completed all their business, the whole Matrix ceases to be. The Members involved may or may not join other Cause Groups, and repeat the process to realize their new Causes.
