Banyan Tree Model for Science, Crowd Sourcing, Mind-Mapping, R and D
Now then, let me make a few comments and then get into a brief dialogue to start this off if I might.
If we look at DARPA's crowd sourcing exploits to design a Humvee replacement prototype or if we think about how Black Projects break things down into components, where those working on any given part don't have the whole picture, but an idea of at least some of what they are doing, we see similarities as to how the brain processes information along the pathways.
Similarly a large company working on a personal tech device might have 500 suppliers, none of which has any idea what the final product might actually do or look like, although some of the more important component makers might have a pretty good idea.
Next, in this case, I'd like to put forth the "Banyan Tree" model, and if you've ever been to perhaps Hilo Bay on the Big Island of Hawaii you can see that this makes a lot of sense.
Large roots above ground into a solid trunk, branching out with smaller vertical trunk-like pieces.
In many regards this is similar to an autistic brain but, it's even better due to all the ancillary support systems bringing nutrients up.
Now then, if we'd like to visualize this in a more systematic way, think of an hourglass as the trunk with stingers going from the top and bottom.
Consider the hourglass a piece of transparent grid paper somewhat like Einstein's gravity theory, but as a black hole with an inlet and outlet, then with the stringers.
Next, put horizontal rings, also on a grid further apart on the ends close in the center - trunk.
That is the model I'd use for the crowd sourcing mind-map to hold data together, to allow by-passing.
Lastly, put the science tree branches pouring out of each of the grid lines on the top, perhaps like Stephen Wolfram's Mathematica - leaves, branches, ever decreasing size for every possible niche of science.
The leaf-masters are those working on all the cutting edge of all the science "pure research" and that is to be carefully monitored, but everyone can access the trunk and put in input.
Those with significant abilities but not in the sciences or research can have access to the leaf masters but through the information stringers prior to the offshoots.
All the system needs to do is scour the leaf-masters work, asking questions, perhaps a few crawlers (insects-birds-tree shrews) can connect the dots, only a few who know the entirety of what they are trying to do.
Since the science tree or crowd sourcing model contains all the information, highest level of current human knowledge, it wouldn't matter what you wanted to accomplish, create, or discover, as you'd have a go-to person or leaf-master for any particular need, thus you could run thousands of projects, invest in the pure research and solve any problem or accomplish any pressing need.
If I was Google X, IBM, Intel, DARPA, DuPont, 3M, Northrop, Boeing, Lockheed, GE, or any of the others, that's how I'd be organizing the information, and encouraging the flow of that knowledge - along the Bayan Tree - plus, it's so simple, I could explain it to anyone in an elevator pitch! Any thoughts on the Banyan Tree model, if so, shoot me an email, and in the mean time please consider all this and think on it.
