Introduction The concept of Second Nature is relative to the social, economic, and cultural outcomes that are affected by the development of human ecology. The first process that this book will visualize and explain, are the moments in human history that changed the framework from which human beings view themselves as nature. Catalyzed by impact events such as discovery, invention, art, and destruction; changes to ethics, values, and knowledge have been relative to the development of how humans view themselves. In order to re-design the future, we must understand the past. In order to understand the consequences of events along the time line of human history, we must understand what principles have guided change and why.

Beginning to Resymbolize In order to design the future, we must understand the shifts in paradigms that created the old story, and why they developed into disharmony with nature and ourselves. The synergy between what we create to facilitate our needs, and the systems we have designed to make them real is out of alignment with nature and the human spirit.

Measuring Signals Mapping signals that are relative to socially responsible values is the context from which this document will communicate the events that have had lasting effects on the conditions of life and our perceptions of nature. These perceptions are proportional to the discovery of ourselves. We develop technology in order to thrive in this world, to have the ability to flourish and experience the depth of being that is proportional to our self-discovery. Without the abilities brought on by technology, we fear the world will consume us. We have grown in disharmony with nature, by being conditioned by the tools necessary to consume it.

Ripple Effects Every human creation creates a ripple effect in nature. When ripples are made in water, they achieve harmony with its source. With human creation, the models of growth do not create ripples but turbulent tides.

Case Studies From History Context Mapping the Past to Resymbolize the Future

To define the new framework that will create a richly imagined future, measuring the impacts from paradigm shifts in human history will reveal insights regarding the difference between socially responsible intentions, and the patterns of human development that will result in positive, or negative outcomes. These outcomes are vulnerable to long standing enterprise models that are focused on growth. In order to develop new enterprise models that can be successful in creating a future that values the synergy between humans, nature, and technology, the following study will chronologically map case studies to develop a solid foundation from which to build a successful framework to generate alternatives.

Proliferating Ideas http://jmaccartney.studentsofdesign.com

Signal Strength

Gutenberg Press Date: 1450 Country: Germany

Intention

Enables

Gutenbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intention was to invent the ability to print with movable type as an alternative to traditional labour intensive methods.

The printing revolution was an innovation in technology that created a wide circulation of information and ideas that created a paradigm shift in the transfer of knowledge. Specially, in Europe and then internationally, this proliferation included scientific discovery, opening a line of communication between scientists. As a result, a community of scientists developed and maintained the demand for scholarly journals that contributed to the scientific revolution. Ultimately, the printing press was the democratization of knowledge. This was a step towards social equity in providing people with knowledge that led to enriching daily life by empowering them with content that led to a culture of debate.

Definition As apposed to block printing, that was created by hand, Gutenbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creation of movable type led to the first assembly line style of mass produced books. The Gutenberg press empowered people to proliferate their ideologies. Specifically, the development of medieval society in Europe created a desire for economically viable alternatives to traditional working methods. Furthermore, the printing press generated a demand for literature due to the increase in literacy among the middle class. (Eisenstein) Additionally, a new enterprise model for authorship became more profitable, as well as meaningful due to mass recognition.

Vision beyond nature http://csahm.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/prayer_girl1.jpg

Ripple Strength

Consequences The first book to be produced with the Gutenberg press was the Gutenberg Bible. With the intention of being socially responsible, the dissemination of Christian belief created a view of nature that was beneath human kind. Spreading this vision conditions humans to look beyond nature for reassurance and hope. Additionally, the printing press became a tool whereby wealthy patrons could spread propaganda in order to affect public opinion. These values still exist today within the knowledge transfer industry known as the media. As a result, the proliferation of ideologies has provided a framework to indoctrinate humans.

Improving Sight http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/65/Eye_iris.jpg/800px-Eye_iris.jpg

Signal Strength

The Microscope Date: 1500 Country: Netherlands

Intention It was the intention to improve the sense of sight that led to the discovery of the microscope.

Definition The microscope was the innovation of the worn eyeglass. The eyeglass was developed from a worn device into a hand held one to facilitate a greater increase in magnification. The ability to achieve this was by increasing the amount of optical lenses between the human eye and the subject to be viewed, inventing the compound microscope. This primitive version gave the ability to see fine details in nature, which led to the discovery of the plant cell. With the development of optics, the optical microscope was created and can achieve a visible range of 200nm. Specifically, this is the size of a wavelength of light. In contrast, the electron microscope that was first created in 1941 has the ability to magnify images thousand of times smaller than the optical.

http://mrmc.amedd.army. mil/index

Enables The microscope has enabled human beings to look beyond the naked eye. It has explored biological cells of the human body. These discoveries have inspired the research and development of this technology. The discoveries by the microscope has enriched human existence by creating paradigm shifts with the information it has provided about ourselves relative to the earth and microscopic life. The ability to identify life-threatening organisms has led to medical innovations to study and develop cures to otherwise devastating epidemics. Additionally, the microscope enabled criminal justice for social and cultural benefits.

Ripple Strength

Consequences The microscope is an artifact of change that has provided the human race with a means to understand ourselves on a biological level. This level is where the most dangerous organisms reside. Without a means to identify them, humans would suffer age-old epidemics that could have the potential to render the human race extinct. As a tool for diagnoses, the microscope has become an essential tool for our survival. In contrast, science has created a paradigm shift in the way we view nature, as something we must control in order to eliminate danger.

Nature vs. Value http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pyrite_Fools_Gold_Macro_2. jpg

Signal Strength

Alchemy Date: 1649 Country: Germany

Intention The intention of alchemy was to discover ways of converting inexpensive base metals into valuable gold.

Definition In 1649, Hennig Brand a German merchant experimented with distilled human urine to produce phosphorus. This was significant in raising the question of what it meant for something to be an element. Subsequently, a substance that cannot be broken down any future through chemical reactions defines an element. In this scientific view of the world, everything is composed of the elements that make up the natural and artificial world. As a result, nature is viewed as something that has the potential to be transform. Basic substances like water was now viewed as sum of its parts: Hydrogen and Oxygen.

Enables Even though alchemy failed to produce gold to create economic benefits, it created a worldview that is the foundation for chemistry. Interestingly, scientific inventions back in the 16th century are attributed to these discoveries. As a result, humans started to experiment and continued to categorize all the elements into the periodic table. Consequently, this led to the invention of new materials and explosives. Harnessing the innate properties of nature enabled humans to benefit by recontextualizing them. Therefore, alchemy enabled humans to manipulate nature in order to create value.

Nature as Elements http://www.bpc.edu/mathscience/chemistry/history_of_the_periodic_table.html

Ripple Strength

Consequences Science is now categorized as part of nature, a movement away from nature as a spiritual existence to a more quantifiable view of the world. It is now measured by the elements that it is made of, relinquishing its explanation to science and used create value for social, cultural or economic benefits through trial and error. This shifts the perception of nature as an abundant source to control.

Mechanizing Labour

Signal Strength

The Cotton Gin Date:1793 Country: United States of America

Intention It was Eli Whitney’s opposition to slavery that was the inspiration to mechanize the process of cotton picking. Additionally, Whitney saw an opportunity to create value in the mechanization of slave labour while having the potential to procure intellectual property rights.

Definition Patented in 1794, the cotton gin was designed to mechanize the processing of cotton by removing the cotton fibers from their seeds. Apposed to its non-mechanical alternative, the separation of the raw cotton from its seed by hand, metal teeth were used in the machine to replace the human element. As a result, productivity increased while undamaged seeds were able to generate either more cotton through re-seeding, or products like cottonseed oil or meal.

http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Cotton_gin

Enables Whitney’s gin revolutionized the cotton industry in the United States. Specifically, cotton production expanded from “750,000 bales in 1830 to 2.85 million bales in 1850.” The American Southern economy became dependent on cotton production, and was an international supplier for the textile industry. As a result, the slavery that enabled it to be so lucrative was further depended upon. Accordingly, six slave states in 1790 became 15 in 1860. Moreover, American Southerners imported a total of 80,000 Africans, and by 1860 approximately one in three southerners was a slave.

American Civil War http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_artillery_in_the_American_Civil_War

Ripple Strength

Consequences As opposed to his socially responsible vision, Whitney’s invention led to the growth of slavery in the American South as the demand for cotton workers grew to accommodate the rise in cotton production. As a result, Whitney’s invention has been identified as the catalyst for the American Civil War, from 1861 to 1865. After the South’s secession from the North, who apposed the proliferation of slavery, 600,000 soldiers were killed destroying most of the South’s infrastructure. Therefore, the plantation owners that failed to develop the production of cotton with Whitney’s original intentions, sacrificed human rights for economic growth.

Producing Protein http://agronigeria.com.ng/

Signal Strength

Mechanized Slaughter Date: circa 1800 Country: United States of America

Intention The intention of mechanizing the slaughter of animals was to centralize it. Animal slaughter shifted from being a backyard process in the public realm to the private due to the increase in ethical values. The overall intention was to increase the production rate of meat to be available for human consumption, and be economically viable.

Definition The modern slaughterhouse as an institution can be traced through three major periods. According to Fitzgerald, public slaughterhouse reforms in the eighteenth century moved them away from the view of the public due to become concealed and regulated. Specifically, ethics regarding the exposure to slaughter was the socially responsible act at the time. Secondly, the industrialization of slaughtering began in the Union Stockyards in Chicago during the late 1800’s. After technical innovations, and the invention of refrigeration, meat was able to be transported large distances without spoiling.

As a result, the desire for meat products grew on an international level.

Enables The production of meat for human consumption, in the private domain, enabled access to protein. As a result, health benefits were to individuals suffering from “protein deprivation, who prior to its development suffered from short lifespans.” Therefore, the growth of the meat industry, through the rationalization of slaughter, empowered people with a nutritional category that was now economically priced. As a result, this enabled a dichotomy between what was being consumed, meat, and how it was made, the killing of animals. Furthermore, the assembly line production that slaughter developed was adopted by other industries the sought after a more economical method of manufacturing. Consequently, Henry Ford was inspired by the efficiency of the industrialized slaughtering process.

Ignorant Food Chain http://www.fairwarning.org/2013/05/as-factory-farms-spread-government-efforts-tocurb-threat-from-livestock-waste-bog-down/

Ripple Strength

Consequences The industrialization of slaughtering distanced people from the animals they consumed, and the natural environments that the animals were normally raised (Fitzgerald). The raising and slaughtering of animals on the industrial scale is now considered as the largest contributor of negative ecological effects. Specifically, this is due to the impact on water, energy consumption, and the emission of toxic gas from animal waste. As a result, this is now part of the global consciousness and is augmented by the ethical treatment of animals. Furthermore, controversial side effects have been discovered relative to the use of growth hormones and antibiotics. Consequently, these are used to generate growth while protecting livestock from disease due to congested living conditions. Moreover, the side effects from ingesting this meat is claimed to range from food poisoning to the development of cancer in humans.

Agrarian to Urbanite http://webs.bcp.org/sites/vcleary/ModernWorldHistoryTextbook/IndustrialRevolution/Images/sweeper-anddoffer.jpg

Signal Strength

Factory Labour Date: 1834 Country: United States of America, Europe

Intention With the invention of the steam powered engine by James Watt in 1781, the ability to power machines made it possible for industrialization, which ultimately led to the creation of the factory. Overall this intention was to mechanize labour and increase the quality of life.

Definition The mechanization of cotton spinning is amongst the first industrialized systems that contributed to the growth of urban areas. As workers from rural areas migrated into the cities in search of employment, they did so by leaving their old agrarian lifestyles. This paradigm shift, from working with nature as a source of livelihood to the vision of an industrialized system as a means of income was a monumental transition.

http://www.justinbuzzard. net/2010/11/11/start-a-revolt-at-the-idol-factory/

Enables The Industrial Revolution saw the rise of the middle class industrialist and businessman. They provided opportunities for employment in their factories, but were motivated by growth. This newly invented industry was motivated by the necessities of life and designed products to fill those needs. Specifically, products that the working class could afford became the enterprise model that promised to deliver a socially responsible alternative to expensive goods while achieving economic return.

Despair http://zero-drop.com/?p=1614

Ripple Strength

Consequences While attracted by the prospect of reliable income, the new urbanite works regularly under strict conditions. Long working hours and labour is pressured to mirror the progress of machines setting their pace and productivity. Issues of human rights has been trending since the dawn of the first factory. Though change to human rights has developed since, it has been due to the unethical treatment of human being. Therefore, conforming to the machine has always removed the autonomy of labour and replaced it with technology for the efficiency of growth.

The Natural Truth http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8a/Charles_Darwin_by_Julia_Margaret_Cameron_2.jpg

Signal Strength

Darwinism Date: 1837 - 39 Country: United Kingdom

Intention Charles Darwin’s intention was to explore and define a new model from which we can understand the development of biological life through time.

Definition

Enables

After his publication of “On the Origin of Species” Darwin created a framework from which people can understand evolution scientifically. As a result, Darwin disrupted Victorian society by aligning the ancestry of humans with animals. Specifically, the Darwinian idea of evolution focused on ideal form as being a result of evolutionary development. (Waenerber 46) This paradigm shift has created controversy with creationists who believe nature is an act of divine power.

Specifically, evolution through natural selection was Darwin’s greatest contribution. In doing so, his “nonreligious biology appealed to the rising class of professional scientists.” (Desmond) This alternative to the creationist theory enable people to see nature as a self driving force independent from any divine intervention. Specifically, animals were represented as long standing entities that lived in competition to one another. As a result, “the survival of the fittest” became a societal construction that people applied to the applied as a slogan for “unrestrained and ruthless economic competition.” (Walmswell)

An alternative Belief http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Darwin

Ripple Strength

Consequences Darwinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theory of evolution was a socially responsible alternative to creationism. Specifically, this was due to Darwinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intention of finding an alternative to the beliefs that were predicated on phenomenon and entitlement. As a result, natural selection created a paradigm whereby humans saw nature as a system that perpetuates characteristics that are better for survival than others. Darwinismâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic impact was in opposition to hereditary entitlement, stimulating the idea of equal rights to compete for individual freedom and competition. In contrast, social consequences revolved around the justification of class division and justifying racism by a genetic trait. Nonetheless, Darwinism shifted the idea that nature was perpetual and growth was an evolutionary process. 39

Self-Reliance http://images.wisegeek.com/civil-war-revolver-with-opened-chamber.jpg

Signal Strength

Standardization Date: 1851 Country: United States of America

Intention It was the intention of utilitarian manufacturing and design to create products economically and efficiently. The philosophy behind this motivation was the rationalization of methods for production. As a result, this included the rationalization of time itself to develop more efficient processes through means of manipulated metals to create long lasting, functional artifacts.

Definition During the Industrial Revolution, interchangeable parts led to the democratization of specialized services. Specifically, the working class was empowered by products that could add value to their existence. These products were the Singer sewing machine, and the Colt firearm. Both consisting of interchangeable steel parts, they were modular, with the capacity to be taken apart and put back together again. As a result, it was an innovation that was socially responsible that provided the working class with the means to liberate themselves.

Enables

Specially, these products became available to the working class. They provided the ability to defend oneself, and the ability to create, and fix clothing. By design, manufacturing becomes more economically viable, providing products to individuals who can now afford them. This revolution in manufacturing increased the requirement for parts and labour. Therefore, the division of labour was enabled in consideration of the parts that comprised the product categories.

Credit Debt http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/ f8/U.S._National_Bank_Building_-_Portland%2C_Oregon.jpg

Ripple Strength

Consequences In order to make products available to lower income demographics, the credit system is available for consumption. To economically justify the new enterprise model, products are sold with interest, increasing profit margins. As a result, peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desires for ownership sustained the new credit system whereby global economics has justified it as a human entitlement. Negatively, this consumption model has repercussions when actual values fall well below their inflated debt causing social and cultural disparity.

Social Objects

Signal Strength

Electroplating Date: 1851 Country: England

Intention Precious metal defined high social merit during the time of the Industrial Revolution and social activities like tea were the means to display it. It was the intention of designers and manufacturers to democratize product categories that were relative to social status and eliminate the use of expensive material.

Definition The process of electroplating replaced natural metals that were normally procured through the mining process. George and Henry Elkington were awarded a patent for electroplating in 1840. Specifically, the process coats a metal object with a thin layer of another metal by means of electrolysis. As a result, metals are also protected from corrosion, wear or rust. Previously, rare earth materials that required hand making expertise were expensive and therefore a luxury item.

http://museumvictoria.com.

Enables Electroplating became an alternative to rare metals and democratized goods that were synonymous with social status. Specifically, tea, cutlery sets, and jewelry were the first product categories to replace their luxury counterparts. As a result, the middle class was able to afford products, and the emphasis on authentic materials shifted to the democratization of them. Subsequently, as technology developed to achieve economic growth, the aviation and automotive industry adopted electroplating into their value chain. As a result, electroplating empowered the manufacturer economically, and the consumer socially.

Status Symbols http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e1/Motorcycle_Reflections_bw_edit.jpg

Ripple Strength

Consequences The democratization of valuable earth metals shifts the perception of luxury artifacts as a status symbol to a benchmark that stimulates affordable product categories. With technology, rare materials can be replaced. This shift in perspective is crucial from nature as value, to the value of social objects. Therefore, the ecological consequences from the process of electroplating is hidden by economic growth and social benefits.

Art as a Reflection Art reflects back the autonomy of the human spirit, like a beacon of hope existing outside the status quo.

Impressionism Date: 1870 Country: France

Intention It was the intention of the Impressionist painters to shift from the standards of realism that relied on state-sanctioned institutions like the Salons. These institutions valued the arts that were of Academic quality at the time. Specifically this quality, that the impressionists were apposed to, was the accurate depiction of human behavior in nature.

Definition The generation of French painters around 1870 focused on painting urban subjects. Specifically, these subjects were upper middle class at leisure in the urban environment. At first, the impressionist movement was ridiculed for its fast, open brush strokes and unfinished look compared to the desired realism of art at the time. Specifically, the group of artists that made up the Impressionist movement was Paul Cezanne, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, Camille Pissarro, and Peirre-Aursute Renoir. These artists work was contrary to the work of Realist painters like Edouard Manet.

Enables This paradigm shift in art symbolizes the change in the social fabric that existed during the Industrial Revolution. As a result, the Impressionist artist benefited from the extrinsic rewards that the upper middle class had exposure to, and were able to consume. This development in lifestyle was possible due to the growth in industrialization that provided the upper class with their consumables. However, the benefit of capturing these subjects for the artist was economical, social, and cultural. Subsequently, this can be seen in the techniques of the impressionist painters.

Sensing Time

Consequences This signal in art history, during the Industrial Revolution, was valuing nature as a symbol of the passage of time. Socially, privileged individuals had the luxury of existing in their lowest energy state. Meanwhile the working classes were restricted to the measuring of time that industrialization used in order to achieve economic rewards. This measuring of time by representing nature as an impression rather than a detailed depiction was a signal of how the value of time is relative to the desires of the privileged class rather than the lives of the labouring.

Democratizing the Automobile http://silodrome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/ford-model-t-assembly-line. jpg

Signal Strength

Ford Model T Date: 1908 Country: United States of America

Intention The intention of Henry Ford was to create an efficient method of manufacturing that could create a paradigm shift in the transportation industry that was economically and culturally revolutionary. It was also his intention to make his automobiles purchasable by the workers who built them.

Definition Produced by Henry Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motor company from 1908 to 1927, the Model T Ford was considered the first affordable automobile by democratizing ownership to the middle-class American. The company built more the 15 million Model T cars and transformed the economic and social fabric of the 20th century. Consequently, Henry Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manufacturing innovation known as the assembly line that became known as Fordism, was inspired by the efficiency of industrial slaughter.

http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Assembly_line

Enables The Model T enabled the middle class American with an innovative alternative to travel. Up until itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conception, automobiles were made by hand for the elite. This paradigm shift affected the cultural, social, and economic fabric of American society by turning it into a mobile one. This enabled the freedom of exploration from the natural environment to cultural scenes. As a result, the automobile began its legacy as a social object, separating itself as a cultural symbol above the natural alternative that was the horse and buggy. (Elliott) Furthermore, the working class became a reliable consumer, made possible to them via a credit system that later influenced democratic enterprise models. 53

Global Infrastructure http://www.comm-presse.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/images.4ever. eu-embouteillage-a-los-angeles-154350.jpg

Ripple Strength

Consequences The Model T provided an economically viable means to mechanized travel. The dependency on nature as a source for transportation was previously something we tended to and nurtured on a daily basis. As a result, the model T altered the systems in which we designed to interact with the world. Specifically, the infrastructure that developed to accommodate the automobile is a reflection of how people prioritized their economic investment. Moreover, social class and cultural distinctions has fetishized the automobile for decades.

Art as a Reflection

http://samgallowayart.blogspot.ca/2011/08/mondrian.html

Neo-Plasticism Date: 1912 Country: Netherlands

Intention It was the intention of Piet Mondrian to follow the ideologies of De Stijl (“The Style”). Specifically, these meant artists should aspire to create beauty as a universal truth by eliminating everything sensual or subjective. In addition to this idea, Mondrian was also followed M. H. J. Shoenmaeker’s ideas about Theosophy whereby he argued that an “inner visual construction of nature consisted of a balance between opposing forces, such as heat and cold, male and female, order and disorder.” Subsequently, Shoenmaeker believed artists could represent these inner constructions of nature with abstract forms like horizontal and vertical lines and primary colours.

Definition Piet Mondrian was exposed to Cubism, a painting style introduced by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. It was an original painting style that was meant to convey multiple perspectives simultaneously. Empowered by this ideology, Mondrian began to abstract animals, trees, and landscapes,

searching for their “essential” form. Consequently, Mondrian began to conform more to the ideologies of Shoenmaeker and his work became largely abstract being composed of black horizontal and vertical lines on a white background with blocks of primary colours. Mondrian called this painting style neoplasticism.

Enables By conforming to the ideologies that universal beauty could achieve, Mondrian eliminating the defining features of nature, and replaced them with an abstract grid system in order to achieve harmony. Mondrian called this attempt at achieving harmony a “dynamic equilibrium”. Additionally, it was Mondrian’s belief that De Stijl would have applications in the real world, and by existing in the natural environment it could achieve a prefect balance and therefore purify it. Consequently, Mondrian hoped to be the world’s last artist under the hope that universal beauty would “infuse all aspects of life” and therefore there would no longer be a need for art. 57

Universal beauty http://blog.smartset.ca/2013/07/be-modern-collection/

Consequences It was the First World War that created the paradigm shift in society that makes Mondrianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work so valuable. Being exposed to the tragedies of war altered the perceptions of reality, creating a need to escape it. While hoping to create a solution for the world by redefining beauty, Mondrianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concept was a tool to eliminate the possibility for a subjective interpretation by eliminating reference to the natural world entirely. However, this movement in art was inspired by peace, but rationalized humanity as separate from nature in order to recover from trauma.

Social Housing http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/66/Frankfurtm_ zickzackhausen.jpg

Signal Strength

Deutscher Werkbund Date: 1927 Country: Stuttgart, Germany

Intention It was the intention of the Deutscher Werkbund to affect the development of modern architecture and industrial design. As a result, it was their hope to increase Germanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competitiveness with global markets and to create democratic alternatives to existing enterprise models.

Definition Specifically, the Werkbundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intention was to establish a partnership between manufacturers and designers in order to create competitive products that were both economical and desirable. In order to achieve this in architecture, the Deutscher Werkbund in known for the Weissenhof Colony, for the housing expo of 1927. Subsequently, the Werkbund followed the philosophy of the De Stijhl movement, to create beauty by eliminating any subjective relationship to nature.

Enables Using steel, concrete, and glass enabled the Weissenhof Colony to democratized housing as a socially responsible initiative. As a result, a lack of luxury and decoration defined the housing block that was replaced with the geometry that reflects the Di Stijhl ideology of beauty. Furthermore, each home was a direct copy of the next. Therefore, the design of social housing by the Deutscher Werkbund enabled affordable housing to those in need, with a unifying principle that eliminated the need for individual style.

Building Materials http://spinnakers.blog.com/2009/10/30/reinforcing-and-concrete-pouring/

Ripple Strength

Consequences By designing with socially responsible values, the democratization of housing for lower class individuals was possible by adopting the principles of beauty that removed the defining elements of nature. As a result, affordable materials that were produced by large manufacturing industries became a logical choice. This methodology of building has caused a ripple effect through the building industry on a global scale. Therefore, the affordability of concrete, steel, and glass have become the materials that compose most developing human habitats, and now represent human settlements that consequently have a negative ecological impact. 63

Dominating Humanity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapon

Signal Strength

Nuclear Fission Date: 1936 Country: United States of America

Intention It was the intention of the Manhattan project, to develop the tools that would produce an atomic weapon in order to have a strategic advantage during World War II.

Definition The Manhattan Project was a research and development program lead by the United States with the support of Canada and the UK. Specifically, the aim was to develop the first atomic bomb during World War II. Through the experimentation with uranium and plutonium, tools were created to harness the power of the atom through the process of enrichment. As a result, the United States of America was empowered with an atomic weapon ahead of the Germanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. This weapon was used to end the war with Japan after the Pearl Harbor attack. On 1945, the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japan, one on Hiroshima killing 140,000 humans, and one on Nagasaki killing 74,000.

http://www.siyasethane.com/ komplo-teorileri/578-gercek-oldugu-ortaya-cikan-komplolar.html

Enables The nuclear weapon has no equal in danger, and for the first time, caused genocide within a minute time frame. In contrast, nuclear fission has enabled human beings to create cheap and more efficient source of energy production. Nuclear energy currently produces about 13 % of worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electricity and does not produce any green house gas emissions. Therefore, nuclear energy is ecologically responsible alternative to the burning of fossil fuels. This alternative means of energy, that is more reliable and allows us to develop our infrastructure in newer places, is an alternative to natural materials like fossil fuel. 65

Consequences The consequences of the Manhattan project were the hidden dangers of nuclear energy and its long-term impact on nature. These dangers can be observed in events at Chernobyl, and recently, the Fukushima disaster. Despite the potential for these dangers to lead to the permanent loss of nature and settlements, humans rely on Nuclear energy to support our contemporary infrastructures.

Gene Therapy Date: 1938 Country: United States of America

Intention The intention to explain life through scientific means led to the discovery of gene therapy.

Definition Inspired by atomic theory and quantum mechanics, Warren weaver was the first person to combine the physical and chemical definitions of life in 1938. These values empowered human beings by shifting our traditional view of medicine from a level of basic understanding to a more complex understanding of human biology. This provided people with medicine that could cure diseases on a genetic level with gene therapy. Human beings now have the technology to manipulate the human genome. As a result, it is now possible to alter genes in order to repair genetic defects.

http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Chromosome

Enables This discovery enables human beings to apply the theories of chemical reactions and physics in order to create new therapy methods. As a result, drugs now exist to manipulate the chemical bonds of atoms. These new performance drugs not only help to cure the sick, but have prevented the possibility of 10 years worth of premature deaths. Additionally,the ability to enhance the performance of a healthy individuals is a paradigm shift in medicine due to the possibility of extending human life.

Do we have the right? http://tribwpmt.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/babies.jpeg

Ripple Strength

Consequences Gene therapy raises ethical issues that have created policies to protect from human genetic manipulation. Human beings have now developed the means to manipulate our own nature, either as a cure for disease or a competitive advantage. As a result, human beings have attempted to manipulate genes in order to achieve benefits that question human values and intentions. Essentially, it questions what defines human nature due to the attempts to alter it.

Art as a Reflection

http://www.wikipaintings.org/en/joseph-kosuth/one-and-three-chairs

Dematerialization Date: 1965 Country: United States of America

Intention

Enables

It was the intention of conceptual artist Joseph Kosuth to convey an alternative to the physical object by replacing it with the concept of its intention.

This paradigm shift represents the moment when art literally dematerialized objects, eliminating the need for them to create value. As a result, it enabled the concept to take the place of physical forms â&#x20AC;&#x153;by suggesting that it was a catalyst for a work of art.â&#x20AC;? This enabled a variety of possible outcomes to communicate the original concept. Therefore, the accuracy of the original intention for conceptual art became its objective, replacing the physical object with an emphasis on communicating an idea.

Definition The conceptual art movement empowered the artist to separate the idea of an object from its form. As a result, Conceptual art varies in defining the result of a concept, that was synonymous with a three dimensional object. Specifically, the physical object itself, the performance of creation, or the written idea are all true definitions.

Class Distinction http://toomuchglass.net/2010/06/10/sixth-avenue-shoeshine-2010/

Consequences This paradigm shifts from viewing nature as source of truth, to focusing on the complex interpretations of human communication. These complexities are due to the diversity of demographics in society. The interpretation of things varies depending on social class or culture. We know longer share a universal understanding of artifacts. Therefore, the difficulty in communicating a concept is relative to the varying definitions of a wide range of social classes.

Communication http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/34/SCR188.jpg

Signal Strength

The Internet Date: 1969 Country: United States of America

Intention It was the US governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intention to use computer technology to improve communications between USA and Europe (France, England) in an effort to create an electronic communication network.

Definition The standardizing of communication infrastructures that consisted of hardware and software layers were the elements that created the communications architecture that became the Internet. Devices were designated Internet protocols (IP addresses) that enabled individual signatures. The structure of the Internet is that of scale free networks. The Internet follows the same laws as the ones used to predict events and scale within nature. Subsequently, the structure of the Internet is very robust but very vulnerable to foreign attacks. In modern day the Internet is primarily a collection of data, users, businesses, social networks, communication, Data transfer, surveillance and a

means to express one self in a second reality.

Enables The Invention of the Internet enabled us to communicate complex ideas across large space through the transfer of data. This enabled communities to form and share these ideas on a common platform. On a larger scale, the Internet unified the world on a international level allowing humans to be more culturally aware while having a deep enough level to have sustainable value. The Internet is a socially responsible design by succeeding in the distribution of cultures, and enabling global trade. Human growth on a social level is now possible on a global scale; we are no longer restricted by nature and time. Information can be synced in real-time around the world with virtually no delay; this created a huge paradigm shift in the way we access information, and communicate through a multitude of media.

Interconnectedness

http://www.3dincites.com/2014/02/mobility-internet-things-drive-requirements-innovative-sensors/

Ripple Strength

Consequences Huge amounts of energy is required to sustain the infrastructure of the Internet as well as huge amount of space required to house the hardware. As a result, this creates a huge impact on nature due to energy consumption. On a social level, the Internet increases and simplifies the method of communication between humans. Additionally, we no longer need to travel in order to gain knowledge. Information is on-demand providing a platform to acquire knowledge, and construct memories through images, video, written text, and sound. In contrast, being conditioned to depend on the Internet disrupts the authenticity of real life experiences. However, with data stored on servers, the immortality of the digital self is possible. 79

Growth hormones Date: 1981 Country: United States of America

Intention The intentions behind the discovery of growth hormones were based on the studies of the pituitary gland in hopes of curing diseases that affect the growth of children.

Definition

Enables

Growth hormones were first identified, purified and later synthesis by Choh Hao Li. Later, Genentech pioneered the first use of human growth hormones in human therapy to aid children with hormone deficiencies. Before the introduction of DNA technology, growth hormones were used to treat deficiencies by extracted the pituitary glands of cadavers. During this phase most clinical experimentation of growth hormones were done on monkeys, that resulted in a gain of body mass and nitrogen levels. Finally in 1985, synthetic human growth hormones replaced pituitary-derived human growth hormones for Medical use all over the world.

Growth hormones enabled humans to help children with hormone deficiencies undergo normal development, resulting in an equal chance at life. In contrast, they allow for a higher production rate in the food chain. As a result, we now have the ability to reduce the growth cycle of a cow from 5 months to 2. Crops can now be harvested in a much shorter period of time, as well as allowing farmers to gain a more sustainable form of economical growth. Consequently, this also provides more economical alternative for food consumption.

New mode for consumption

http://static6.businessinsider.com/image/51adf71d6bb3f7f623000013/ tyson-foods-drops-pig-farm-over-video-of-alleged-animal-abuse.jpg

Ripple Strength

Consequences Due to the development of growth hormones, we now have the means to control nature in order to be an economically beneficial enterprise model. Meat, Agriculture and human performance industries have capitalized on the production of growth hormones. Tending to time and process is no longer deemed valuable. Therefore, natural development has become an obstacle to humans, and the acceleration in modes of consumption has developed and dependency on them.

Dolly http://i.imgur.com/pGtNFnc.jpg

Signal Strength

Cloning Date: 1996 Country: Scotland

Intention The intention of dolly the sheep was to recreate life from a single cell.

Definition Dolly the sheep was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell, through the nuclear transfer method. Ian Wilmut, Keith Campbell at the Roslin Institute, in Scotland England, are attributed to cloning dolly. In addition, Dolly was the first clone produced from a cell that was taken from an adult mammal. The creation of Dolly proved that genes in the nucleus of such a mature somatic cell are still capable of reverting to an embryonic state, creating a cell that can then go on to create any part of an mammal. Dolly lived her entire life in the lab environment and gave birth to five baby sheep.

Enables This enabled the potential to revive extinct species, now giving humanity the ability to recreate nature and reduce the potential of being deprived from it. The cloning experiment with dolly also enabled humans to understand cell growth and how to manipulate cells in order to control its innate functions for the first time. Human creation is no longer viewed as being controlled by nature, but can be controlled by science. As a result, we now have the ability to grow organs and to repair tissues using stem cells.

Ethics http://www.veteranstoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/devastation_by_taenaron-d5gxwcf.jpg

Ripple Strength

Consequences Cloning has created a paradigm shift in the perception of time and the accountability of human destruction towards biological beings. Specifically, the extinction of natural species by humans now has a potential solution for reanimation. This raises ethical issues regarding the value of human life, the value of biological nature, and the technology we now possess in order to potentially overcome the restrictions of mortality. As a result, policy has been issued to restrict humans from cloning due to this potential. The potential to harvest organs from clones in order to extend our own lives questions what values we are willing to compromise. 87

Insight In order to regain harmony in our lives, humans have created moments in time that give the impression that we can reclaim our autonomy. We develop a disharmony with nature because we are preoccupied with measuring our time relative to our ability to survive as biological, cultural and social animals. We are not agents of time, but slaves to it. By example, humans have used time as a tool by structuring it into weekdays and weekends, to regain the autonomy that was lost while striving for economic independence. We forfeit our autonomy as it has become part of the system for economic security. Relinquishing our time, our passion, our spirit, we develop a disharmony with nature and ourselves. In order to regain harmony we now accelerate our experience of autonomy. Relishing moments of hedonism to fulfill potent desires, giving us the impression that we are in control.

The Old Story Rationality The rationalization of time and nature has led to negative impacts on the ecosphere and the humansphere. Our loss of autonomy is strengthened by the structuring of time and from the enterprise models that use democratization as a strategic tool. Conditioned to value these principles, we measure our worth by the efficiency of which we can consume.

Faith Both science and religion have shed a light on the world that has provided apposing alternatives. A look inward to value vision, and a look outward to value proof. We create tools to extend life and explore it. There is disharmony with nature because we struggle to exist.

Growth Technology has developed to facilitate our necessities. Beyond, it has grown to facilitate our desires. The growth model in predicated on efficiency and the accuracy of which we measure it. Enterprise models are managed to sustain themselves and improve upon existing products.

The New Story Human Autonomy When the outside world coalesces with our intrinsic rewards, our autonomy will be part of the new human structuring of time. The Richly Imagined Future will value human autonomy and develop systems to conform to it.

Spirituality Through Association A harmony between nature and mortality can be achieved through spirituality. When inward vision can manifest into reality, nature will reflect back the human spirit. This relationship with nature can create harmony with the technosphere, ecosphere and humansphere.

Technology as Agents To provide a synergy with human autonomy and nature, technology can act as agents to facilitate our needs on demand rather than producing high volumes for consumption. Technologies efficiency will be based on the reliability of services and the innovative means that we reimburse them.

Opportunities Preliminary Alternatives

Vision beyond Nature By proliferating philosophies of truth, cultural distinction can be defined by human nature and conditions rather than a vision beyond nature to compensate for what is lacking in our lives. In doing so, the truth of our circumstances can inspire responsible change.

Seeing Ourselves Developing technology to provide new methods to see beyond the surface area of nature without traditional tools, the development of technology can augment our sense of sight with microscopic properties of nature. The democratizing of scientific knowledge can realign our image of nature.

Nature as Elements Information regarding the properties of our environment can be valued as a transparency. This knowledge can provide the tools necessary to a society of makers who will have the means to harvest elements in order to fulfill their needs without expertise, and provide local alternatives to the global supply chain.

Mechanizing Labour The mechanization of labour must provide benefits to all humanity. As a replacement tool for labour, the liberation of the labouring class from physical demand must be replaced with services. Technology as the agents for human needs can allow humans to regain their autonomy. A paradigm shift in how we measure time can eliminate the control by machines.

Ignorant Food Chain Taking advantage of the ignorance with the food chain provides the opportunity to replace meat with a more ecologically and economically viable alternative. Meat through stem cell growth is already possible. A paradigm in the way we understand animals and their place in our value chain can shift to a source for creation, rather than slaughter.

Labour and Despair Development of technology can replace the effects of harsh labour conditions. As a result, the information society can replace physical labour with the coding revolution. In conjunction with the mobile society, economic gain can be achieved with a high level of autonomy.

An Alternative Belief An alternative belief is always necessary for the development of the human spirit. However, the elements that are in control of human life affect how alternative beliefs are applied. The new alternative belief can be predicated from joyous acts, and how we measure our success in life will shift from monetary gains to intrinsic rewards.

Credit The abuse of credit has been defined as a repercussion of choice. If our built environments allow for the delivery of products and services, on demand, their accessibility will be provided to fulfill our immediate needs that can be reimbursed through barter.

Status Symbols Shifting the value of objects from their material properties, to the social benefits they provide will be achieved if they are socially networked. The Internet of things can augment social behaviour, dematerializing social status.

Infrastructure for Travel The automation of travel can eliminate the complexities, and ambiguity of human behaviour that validate the policies for insurance. Infrastructures can then conform to new methods of travel that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require human expertise to operate them creating more ecologically responsible and socio-economic alternatives.

Building Materials A new aesthetic language that values organicism for its a-symmetry can augment durable materials with biomimetic ones. Self assembling materials can take time to finish the facade, or interiors of structures, allowing for responsible gaps within the value chain that are replaced with the respect for naturally occurring processes.

Unknown Dangers The dependency on nuclear fission can be decreased with environmentally sustainable alternatives. Specifically, technology must condition lower consumption by resymbolizing its intention. Resymbolizing the way we consume can mean the development of technology that materialized food on demand, symbolized by its outcome rather than by the passage of time.

Do we have the right? Economically, removing the possibility of disease with gene therapy is socially responsible. The social and cultural barriers are relative to those that were apposed to eliminating Polio. Our genetic flaws make us susceptible to disease and death. This is a Darwinian philosophy.

The Internet The Internet has replaced the need for face-to-face interaction. By extending the modes of communication with immersive experience, economical alternatives are possible. Additionally, the Internet can provide a place where the simulation of experience can fulfill human desires, and replace those that negatively impact social, cultural, economic and environmental systems. As a global brain, the Internet has the potential to democratize intelligence. Internet protocols will be assigned to every human creation and wearable technology will assign them to the biological structures within human beings to prompt the need for healthcare.

Growth Hormones To eliminate the need for growth hormones, social equity is needed to value authenticity rather than performance. Meat will be more valuable. Gamification will shift from physical performance to mental.

Ethics of Cloning Technological development is required for the creation of live tissue. Healthcare can benefit by providing healing services that repair wounds on demand by replacing damage to limbs through the additive process. This can be achieved by strategically harvesting a patients stemcells at birth so treatment is not rejected.

Ushering In The Richly Imagined Future The future will value autonomy. Our harmony with nature can exist if the intentions of our creations value the human spirit while respecting time rather than exploiting it. Spiritual awareness will be part of how we depend on nature, and how it manifests our values. As agents, technology can provide humanity with the means to create as opposed to setting the pace of consumption. The democratization of creation and intelligence will usher humanity into a Richly Imagined Future.

Cross Impact Analysis Mitigating Threats and Resymbolizing Prospects

By discovering the impacts of paradigms shifts during the course of human history, we can map the structures that contain the systems, products and services that are a part of them. These structures will be evaluated relative to the new framework of social autonomy, cultural spirituality and technological agents.

Impact Discovery The way in which human beings interpret the world around them is proportional to their experience in it. These experiences are shaped by the things that people consume in order to fulfill their needs and desires. Enterprises that are responsible for the structures from which human beings adapt themselves to must be discovered in order to identify threats to the future of humanity, or prospects. As a result, a strategic landscape will divulge threatening organizations that necessitate mitigation, and prospects that require resymbolization in order to create the new story from which human beings can exist as autonomous and spiritual beings.

Mapping Impacts

To better understand what the impacts of paradigms shifts has had on the development of humanity, an analysis of the cross impacts on society, culture, politics and economics will reveal existing enterprise models that dominate the impact landscape. The threats that require mitigation will not conform to the framework that the Richly Imagined Future is predicated from. In contrast, prospects will reveal what elements of our world deserve to undergo innovation and resymbolization in order to create a future that is rooted in ideologies that will allow humanity to prosper. As a result, a strategic landscape will contain all threats and prospects in order to generate a resymbolized landscape for the Richly Imagined Future.

Factory Labour The importance of analyzing the cross impact of factory labour is relative to the well being of the workers that are affected by the structures that value growth over human rights. The lack of autonomy that workers are faced with is relative to the mechanization of labour, and the labour laws that govern the jurisdictions that manufacturers are located. Laws that do not value human rights, create structures that produce cheap labour, and therefore competitive manufacturing within the global economic landscape. As a result, these jurisdictions suffer the most cultural impact, setting back the well being of a society by decades. In terms of more affluent societies, the slow decline of emotional and physical well being is tolerated through the use of products and services that are designed to temporarily elevate physical and emotional symptoms. Nonetheless, factory labour diminishes the well being of those that are dependent on it. Therefore, the cross impact of factory labour will expose enterprise models that deliver economically viable products and services by utilizing global distribution models to achieve growth.

Alternative Belief The structures that have been affected by alternative beliefs to creationism are relative to the value of identity. However, self worth has been measured predominantly by the economic gains of individuals relative to products and services that are available. In addition, individualism within the context of alternative beliefs is a competitive landscape that does not promote an idea of universality, but rather one of idolization. As a result, the cross impact of alternative beliefs does not point to themes that value the self as part of a communal landscape, but value independence.

Credit The cross impact of credit is dependent on the desires of human beings, and the credit systems that make ownership possible. The development of enterprise models that offer credit have favoured dematerialization. As a result, the financial transaction has shifted consumerism into the digital world making easier to incur debt. Therefore, the cross impact of credit has strong roots in risk aversion, while centered on generating debt for the individual in order to achieve growth.

Infrastructure for Travel While the human race has become increasingly dependent of the infrastructures that make traveling long distances on a daily basis possible, they are not conducive to ecological sustainability. The enterprise models that dominate this landscape exist to facilitate the needs of individuals who work or labour in order to achieve economic security. Additionally, tourism is desired in order to enrich ones life experience. Nonetheless, these needs are still predicated on the fact that human beings do not possess the autonomy to accomplish tasks without needing to physically occupying a designated space.

Building Materials The cross impact of building materials is heavily focused on economic viability. Affordable building materials have given access to a lifestyle that individuals can no longer live without. Ranging from heating, cooling, running water and electricity, these necessities of life are part of the first world infrastructure. Consequently, the building materials that are used are globally accessible. However, these materials are part of a system that rely heavily of material extraction, processing. and specialized services. Although these systems are part of an extensive network, they do not provide a long-term solution in terms of ecological sustainability. The existing enterprise models that provide the services to build for society are guided by policies that proclaim the minimum standards by which the lowest quality of materials are used, and the medial standards of living are determined.

Nuclear The cross impact of nuclear energy is important to understand how relevant this â&#x20AC;&#x153;cleanâ&#x20AC;? energy technology is to the future of humanity. The sensitive nature of nuclear technology is centered on the potential uses of it. Specifically, the use of nuclear energy has proved to be a great risk, with the potential to wipe out the global food chain. Additionally, national security relative to nuclear technology poses an even greater risk when faced with its potential use for human annihilation. Regardless, lack of trust has become the circumstance from which nuclear energy poses more of a risk to nature and humanity than a long-term solution to the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy crisis.

Cloning The cross impact of cloning is relative to its application within the health sector. Primarily focused to increase the fertility rate of individuals, cloning is a paradigm within health sciences that has created systems of innovation that are able to provide choice to those who seek out parenthood. As a result, the commodification of human reproduction has become a lucrative product that contains unique services. For example, the surrogate host to a fertilized embryo has now become a reality from which economic rewards can be generated for those who are willing to carry an unborn child for another human being. Nonetheless, cloningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impact on life is centered on providing a choice to individuals who are not capable of conceiving naturally without scientific intervention. Therefore, the impact of cloning is one that is based on the inclusiveness of human rights.

Gene Therapy The cross impact of gene therapy is relative to the markets that have achieved growth from genetic engineering. These impacts range from health sector, to the manipulation of food resources called genetically modified organisms, or GMOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The theory of genetic modification to better the lifecycle of an organism like a food crop has very provocative implications. However, the leading GMO producerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do not conform to values that would contribute positively to the growth of humanity, and agricultural food production in general. Consequently, the impact of GMOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on culture and society has negative implications due to enterprise models that are preoccupied with economic growth. Subsequently, the promise of higher food crop yields from GMO seeds are not without the need for toxic chemical pesticides that enterprise models like Monsanto are also in the business of trading. In addition, the privatization of plant seeds does not conform to the values predicated on autonomy. Therefore, the cross impact of gene therapy is heavily weighed on economic growth by manipulating nature in order to exploit it.

Growth Hormones The cross impact of growth hormones are primarily centered on the acceleration of organisms that are produced for human consumption. The accelerated development of these organisms is designed to increase market yield. Ranging from meat and agricultural production, to designer drugs to enhance athletic performance, growth hormones speed up the natural growth cycle of organisms. As a result, the impact of growth hormones is relative to mass consumption, and the ideologies of growth. Subsequently, these ideologies are focused on economic rewards that depend on additional products to make their existing enterprise models function successfully. For example, the need for antibiotics in meat production is due to the risks of developing and spreading disease that mass live stock farming imposes on itself. Therefore, the impacts of growth hormones are relative to the dependency that humans have become acclimatized to in regards to mass production and consumption.

Internet The cross impact of the Internet on human beings has extended communications with a rich plethora of information that can be shared through many platforms. The connectivity of the Internet has created new means of communication. These range from more economical alternatives, to greater means of self expression. User generated content has created enterprise models that value information. As a result, these enterprises offer their services at no cost. In addition, the social networking revolution has extended the means by which human beings choose to connect. These platforms store the data that individuals generate, creating valuable information that is commodified. Therefore, the Internetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impact is powerful, it has become a cyclical outlet from which human beings and enterprises have become dependent on.

Inward Vision The cross impact of inward vision is relative to the outlets that human beings access to gain knowledge. As a result, this knowledge is primarily centered on ideologies that focus on self-gratification. In doing so, these outlets have a tendency to impact human development by offering an escape from reality. Subsequently, the attraction to escapism has been part of humanity for millennium. Regardless, the quality of story telling that human beings have grown to consume is far from the spiritual enlightenment that the future of humanity requires in order to achieve self-actualization, and ultimate happiness. Therefore, the impact that content has on the development of an inward vision is predicated from services that offer moments in time that human beings can consume as diversions from reality.

Scientific Sight The impact of scientific sight serves to augment humanity. Specifically, it has created a catalogue of information from which humanity can measure nature in order to manipulate and identify it. Furthermore, it has given humanity the ability to diagnose and eradicate microscopic organisms that pose threats to human health. Therefore, the cross impact of scientific sight revolves around the tools that humans have developed to measure and distinguish themselves as social and mortal beings.

Nature as Elements The cross impact of viewing nature as elements is relative to the monetary value that human beings have assigned to it. From rare earth metals that are not affected by time to fleeting elements that generate energy, humans value those that provide the greatest return on investment. Specifically, elements that are able to augment social status like jewelry or perfume has created lucrative enterprise models that depend on class distinction to maintain their economic sustainability. As a result, the development in manipulating nature has grown to create a material cultural that is dependent on free markets. In contrast, the innovation of tools better serve humanity. Therefore, the impact of nature as elements has grown to encompass a spectrum of elements that serve humanities necessities, and superficial desires.

Mechanized Labour The automation of human labour has cross-impacted enterprises that serve to manufacture products for human consumption. Technology plays a vital role in substituting human labour with machines. However, this development has generated models of growth that require more human labour to sustain them. As a result, human labour has paradoxically grown to facilitate mass consumption that the pace of machines makes possible. Therefore, the cross impact of mechanized labour is relative to the pace of consumption that first world nations have grown to expect.

Status Symbols The cross impact of status symbols is relative to how human beings define their identity within a material culture. The democratization of materials has made it possible for individuals to own material things that simulate quality through visual representation. However, the low quality of these materials generates more material waste that is ecologically devastating. As a result, material culture that gauges social status by the quality of products that people own, create modes of consumption that does not value material quality but superficial characteristics. Therefore, the impact of status symbols is relative to how artifacts are made and for what purpose they are consumed.

Food Chain The cross impact of the food chain is relative to the values that human beings judge their food by. Specifically, values and ethics regarding the circumstances that food is produced under determine if they are edible. As a result, many categories make up the global food chain that rely on specific details to distinguish them from others. Subsequently, cultural standards weigh heavily of the treatment of food, following a set a guidelines that will render the food culturally unique and worthy of consumption. Regardless, there are numerous ideologies that enterprise models are created to facilitate. These ideologies determine the value of food, ranging from economically viable ones like process food, to organic that prides itself on possessing low traces of chemicals but at a very high cost. As a trend, the higher the value of food, the healthier it is for human consumption. Therefore, the impact of the food chain segregates society into groups whose ideologies depend on knowledge that values food relative to their beliefs.

RIF Scenarios

The following scenarios are of a time that is impacted by the events of the RIF landscape. They are a projection of the future where human exist with complete autonomy, spirituality and trust in the world that is augmented by technology. Please enjoy the following excepts from the voices that speak from the Richly Imagined Future.

Every Atom is Connected

http://shelest.deviantart.com/art/Shelest-DNA-11053501

There once was an old saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;everybody makes mistakes.â&#x20AC;? It was from a time when everything was made up of inert materials. Nothing could change, everything just was what it was until it became old and undesirable. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine living in a time that was filled with things that only had one purpose and lay dormant. When I sync to the collective my contextual environment changes to alter my reality. Like a custom habitat, it can mimic the physical properties that make up other parts of the world so I can experience them immediately. Reflex re-sequencing to create textures, temperature and even smells, our metamorphic environments are a mirror of the world, able to alter its physical properties at the blink of an eye. We call it US because it is synced to accommodate our immediate needs. Like a parent, it catches us when we fall, and like a friend, it scratches the itch we cannot reach. Compared to its predecessors, they are living habitats. They contain synthetic DNA that can re-sequence itself to alter their shape and consistency. We have everything we will ever need, comfort, safety and security. I could not imagine a time when the world was composed of things that lay dormant. It was a time when people relied on illusion to alter their reality. In our time, we are US, and US is family. Here there are no mistakes, only magic.

We Live in a State of Prime Being

http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/061/3/0/dew_on_flower_petal_wallpaper_by_wallpaperc-d5wsmmk.jpg

Ever since intuitive creation replaced enterprises that mass-produced what people called products, we have lived in peace. We are told stories of a time when humans had to struggle to have the things that kept them alive. Now, everything we need is fresh and specially designed for us. We call it BLOOMING. The world is synced to our life rhythm, aware of what we need to maintain our prime state, it produces for us spontaneously. It makes with compassion, aware of what we desire by listening to our inner voices. Our environment delivers the essentials of life to us. Essentials that we can choose to consume actively by swallowing, or passively by inhaling. Whatever we need our guardians BLOOM. Whatever BLOOMs, we know we need. This is a time of trust. Maintaining our prime state is the goal of our world. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look back but exist in the moment. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t struggle here we blossom.

We Are the New Enterprises

http://hdwallpaperart.com/mc-escher-hands-wallpaper.html

My best friend Ethan says “I think I would be a mathematician if I lived back during the data revolution.” I say, “I would be an artist, maybe a sculptor.” We laugh. Nothing makes me happier than playing with matter. Ethan can’t get enough of making infinity loops, digital fractals where data can live forever by using the collective interface. I prefer to use my hands, there is nothing like the feeling of manifesting something in real time. Many people prefer to operate in artificial reality. I don’t see the allure, but then again, they prefer people like me to generate alternative realities that they can touch. You could say that we each prefer to serve one another, and we like it that way. Ever since we were children, we have been contributing to the world-revise. We have matured alongside a world that has always been in a state of flux. This is because we can’t get enough of new experiences. Back in the day, things called enterprises existed with a specific purpose. They were small systems that needed many people to keep them running. Now, I guess you could call us the enterprises, with the power to modify the world. The collective recognizes our talents and knows what contextual interfaces best allow us to use them. Our task is to make the world better and our world functions to serve us. You could say that we live to create a world that better serves ourselves. What I think is different now from the past, is having the freedom to contribute to the collective by whatever means we choose, and we choose what we love.

Ever since humans achieved interstellar travel, innovations in biotechnology created a revolution that rendered the human species resilient to trauma. Human cellular regeneration was the first major breakthrough that made humans impervious to injury. Now, we live without risk. We are born with genetic perfection, and no longer live with fear. We do not understand what life would be like without cellular regeneration, nor do we try. We jump from the highest mountains, and travel to the far reaches of space just to touch our neighbours. The space games are where the most resilient play. They compete under terminal velocity, skimming the stratosphere until the make their strike. The leaders strike the terra firma to leave a trace of their power. Compared to our ancestry, we are powerful. If some were to glimpse into their future, they would see a world filled with gods.

The Collective Mind

http://www.thepixelprize.com http://parablev.deviantart.com/art/Apophysis-080404-14a-83077363.au/?attachment_id=383

Today my family singing me Happy Birthday woke me up. Normally we communicate when we are all synced, but on special occasions like this, they can access my mind through the collective. When getting out of bed I was surprised by the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events. Memories of worldly events converge with my mind, allowing me to remember them as if I lived the experiences myself. They become my own. Technology no longer exists as external machines. Computers once operated as a means to display content, now replaced with the minds eye. We live as a collective, and experience vivid thoughts as a collective. Time was once experienced as fleeting moments, paced by the rising and setting of the sun. Now, memories of experiences are accessed in the collective mind, giving us the ability to experience more life events in a given moment that extends the perception of time exponentially. By choice, we choose what to remember. By experience, we choose how to live. No longer do humans need to gain knowledge by processing data. Data now flows freely through the collective landscape, our brains able to immerse itself in it. It is all ours to share. Extra sensory perception involves mind-to-mind communication. Technology converged to exist within the body, cerebral immersion made connecting to any number of people at any given moment possible. When transferring thoughts, time slows to a halt. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been told that compared to our predecessors, we experience life as if we are living a hundred lifetimes.

Trust Opens the Heart to Spirituality

http://www.tailoredwellness.net/?p=604

Closing Statement The current impact landscape that has developed structures to facilitate the needs of humanity has progressed to maintain their growth. These enterprise models do not function to serve the wellness of humanity, but their own economic sustainability. Enterprises that will prosper will do so by mitigation the elements within their existing models that this book has revealed. They will exist in the Richly Imagined Future if they have evolved beyond the dependency on a consumer culture to sustain them. Therefore, the evolution of the global distribution system must progress to develop structures and systems that can manifest custom products for human consumption on demand. Human beings will evolve to operate autonomously by providing a service to these systems that function to deliver life necessities. The future will make complete autonomy a way of life, and global systems will operate at the apex of innovative and scientific achievement. The paradigm shifts that this book has forecasted by resymbolizing prospects must be followed in order to usher humanity into a state of perfect equilibrium with the world.
