Abstract:

There are an estimated 6 billion cellphones and smartphones in use worldwide and about 3 billion people have fixed or mobile Internet access. This results in a massive amount of connections between people which has an impact on their life, work, relations and the power they can summon together to get things organized and done. This baffles traditional business types and politicians who notice that their vertically layered closed hierarchies can no longer cope with complex environments and are outpaced and outsmarted by online P2P horizontally interconnected groups of people, who co-create and learn together. Open organizations with high quality external communication links, which will result in Power Shifts all over the globe.

The research question this lecture tries to help answer is: “How are such wired groups structured DISTRIBUTED and how can they function as one fast responding organism which can scale up without central coordination and without central leadership?” After the urgency for horizontalized organization and value chains is shown as one of the key to come out of the economic crisis, the key ingredients for the line of thought are found in nature. All ‘Living Systems’ , including humans and groups of humans, can be described as functioning using 20 vital subsystems handling material, energy and information. Recent discoveries in analysis of how the human brain may work based for a big part on MRI scanning measurements and neurobiology & neuropsychology show that handling Patterns and matching those with memory and expectations is basic. You can look with your probably imperfect eyes but you see with the lenses in your brain. You can listen with your ears but you hear with your brain and combine your thinking with other information patterns there. These recent findings can be transposed on brain-like structures of connected people using the Telescope Metaphor which can be extended into a structure which processes images in parallel based on orthogonal transforms. This is pre-correlation which simplifies matching. This caters for the fact that with such Lens - holography like structures everybody can see the whole picture and can contribute to improvement of it and by combining and synergy, help to develop emergent models for decentral consensus, vision & knowledge sharing, constructive solutions and actions. Maybe we will find that swarms of bees and colonies of billions of bacteria have used since millions of years the same connection structures to organize collective intelligent collaboration, so why don’t we do that too using telecom- and computer networks?

This recently started research, which has combined a number of well known scientific findings, has important consequences for effective and more flexible organizations, new internet social media services and new political structures (P2P Connectivism) connecting distributed independent people & groups and the institutions needed in the networked civil society and post-transition co-creative economies. Not only can such a connected group Weavelet react very fast to unexpected situations, it is resilient to failing nodes and links and it can learn and cope with imperfections, incompleteness. To paraphrase an ancient philosopher: “So outside, so inside the human brain: the connections are the message”.

Introduction: Network interconnection effects ?? At present there are about 6 billion cell phones (including smart phones) and about 2.6

billion internet users active worldwide. Does that have effects? Sure. It lowers transaction costs, makes organizations more transparent and allows new types of collaboration and network effects with synergy.

Example: At disasters like the big Sichuan earthquake in central China in 2008 volunteers reacted immediately and coordinated aid and each other with TWITTER and Facebook, while it took DAYS before the officials even published that the accident took place and came to the scene.

Example: the sudden flashmob of tens of thousands of young people eager to attend a party in Haren, NL last year, because a girl had made the mistake to invite ‘everybody' on FaceBook to her 16th birthday party. Did the partygoers organize themselves before and after they arrived by way of networking? Yes they did. So did the hooligans in the sudden 2011 London riots. Can companies and institutions do so too, or will they be outpaced and outsmarted into irrelevance?

• So networking has temporal (time) and spatial (distance) effects. How can we make use of those to construct Collective Intelligent Organizations? Thus, the questions are: • How do groups of people harness the power of Internet connections collectively in a

constructive way to collaborate? • What can we learn from success stories so they will help us create even more of them?

This lecture of Eshel Ben-Jacob is very important to understand that some bacteria colonies behave collectively and move without central leadership but with specialisationof tasks. This notion also has huge impact on the our knowledge about cancer cells andhow they still outsmart us by….. collective behaviour.

What happens at the Transformed Plane? All of the information is available there (halfway the Weavelet) to

make spatial (3D) models, for handling Depth and Proportions, and temporal (time: 4D) models of movements etc. to act upon.

The patterns are distributed, stored and manipulated all over the Weavelet by multiple feedback loops in contact with the ecology around it. So collective and individual decisions and actions can be taken.

Physical evidence: In optics halfway behind the lens there is the FFT Transform plane. The image is fuzzy there, while on the Focal plane it is sharp. Jumping spiders have 4 distinct photoreceptor layers in their eyes, they can judge distance to jump by processing the difference between defocused and focused layers. http://www.livescience.com/18143-jumping-spider-unique-vision.html

Conclusions

We believe that weavelets - self-forming alliances of individuals, connected through channels made possible by advanced computing and communications technology – presage a sea change in the evolution of the species. These groups, interconnected in ways that mirror the patterns of living systems, can achieve fast, orthogonal transformations (like the FFT), at a level never before possible. Using distributed models of thought and action, following maps hidden in plain sight in the natural world, they will have the ability to collaborate quickly, seamlessly, and in service to the goal of bringing what Amartya Sen1 has called “The Five Freedoms” to all present and future travellers on this beautiful, blue-green planet.

Groups of people with a connected structure and distributed actions and decision power can have an emergent mind and soul which is everywhere & nowhere like a hologram, a powerful connected life form of Weavelets which will be part of the Global Brain.

This may be the next evolutionary leap of life forms and may bring us in the Era of Idea’s [Bommerez]

See my blog: the-future-of-internet-the-Weave/• Maybe this leap is part of the Singularity.

• Remember that nature has done such leaps before. Jeffrey Sterling wrote in a recent mail message: My favorite book on the subject is Earthdance by evolutionary biologist, Elisabet Sahtouris which covers the entire evolution of life on Earth. Chapter 11 of the book is called the Big Brain experiment http://www.ratical.org/LifeWeb/Erthdnce/chapter11.html.

• Toward the end of that chapter, Dr. Sahtouris makes this observation. "Particularly interesting is the fact that bacteria invented communications systems prior to organizing themselves into nucleated cells, and that nucleated cells invented intercellular communications systems before organizing themselves into multi-celled creatures. This is how the Internet will play out its enormous role."

Future research

Weavelet-like structures and its functions can help to explain how “emergent behavior” in groups of massively interconnected animals work.

Imagine that the recently discovered underground interconnections by fungus wires between trees in a forest would lead to a collective mind and spirit, in combination with changes in genes (changes DNA) ??

It might give Telecom Operators, ISP’s and Internet network providers incentives to defend, preserve and strengthen Internet as a “Web of Life”.

Imagine what would happen if the users of InstaGram, PhotoSynth and Layar would interconnect APPs and clouds; and form a collective intelligent Weavelet?!

Challenge 1. Will weavelet-like organization structures enable society to create new jobs and work for middle class workers with unique skills?

Challenge 2. We suspect that combinations of [pinecones, cacti, LOFAR array radio telescope math., Ben-Jacob bacteria growth, Fibonacci/ golden mean, galaxies] will show how weavelets will further unfold into 3D,4D,5D spirals. Are galaxies life forms too?

Lecture invitations and (any type of) funding for further research would be most appreciated.
