\nThe read edit write, read edit write, read edit write – with humans in the loop is an adult global game of “telephone” or “Chinese whisper” or “whisper”. Filtering through human brains strips most of what was learned and gathered – but not shared – by the original groups.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Incomplete copies scattered on the Internet with no links, or context, no verification, no communities is a recipe for global meltdown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“Read and start from scratch on your own with no one to help” is what most readers face. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But put digital twins and real tools and methods on the Internet where every person (not just reading but using and adding, the questions remembered, the suggestions remembered, the experiments and results remembered, the AI transcripts remembered)\u00a0 contributes to global open shared human knowledge.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

When a paper it copied, most of the data, equations, references, connections, meaning and solutions – are lost. The powerful visualization tools are condensed to shadows of what they can do – by flattening them into locked and inaccessible “ink on paper” or “marks on a screen”.<\/span><\/p>\n

A group that has something to say, to share, can put it as “living knowledge and tools” on the Internet. The readers, users, community is linked directly to the many people working on something – together.\u00a0 Everyone sees and uses and can comment and work on ONE body of knowledge, where nothing is lost or forgotten.\u00a0 Where the tiniest whisper is clear and lossless.<\/p>\n

Creation and use are tied together in real time globally. Separating “design”, “production”, “markets and impacts” can be a thing of the past.<\/p>\n

“Publishing” and “broadcast” in cheap paper is a failed paradigm.\u00a0 It is wrong when used on the Internet. When used for 8.2 Billion humans it is deadly at tens of millions dying scale now, for many different things that cannot be handled without end to end optimization, planning, verification, best practices, continuous improvement methods.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
