the da Vinci Concept
(currently unedited from original dated April 2002)
There are only a certain number of ideas that have the potential to have a drastic impact upon the way that humanity views itself and the world. Many of these radical concepts are particular to certain systems of belief. Regardless of the medium inherent of the system; rational, spiritual, cultural; the use of a world changing idea often requires more than an individual's bare existence as its means. World changing ideas are intimidating, change is intimidating, perhaps because people are not used to affecting the changes occurring around them, feeling perhaps like passengers on the train of humanity, never asked if it was the passage they wanted to take. The idea for the da Vinci concept occurred at a very reasonable time, self-stimulated thought was being forced out of its owner's mind at a rapid pace, following the tide of scholastic semester's end, wrapping up loose ends of concepts learned throughout a semester of a diverse curricula. The very idea behind da Vinci is inherent in this type of coerced thought, motivated problem solving, diverse and multidisciplinary methods. problem statements
1. hypothetical determination
Our main focus within the scope of problem solving has been the use of science as a method of determining the truth or falsity of hypotheses. Science, however, does not create, and is not imbued with the methods of determining new hypotheses. In fact, there is no series of steps, no rule of thumb for hypotheses creation. One method that seems apparent to any science oriented individual, is through the formulation of hypotheses and through their testing through analytic methods. Questions, with and without answers, create a fecundity of new questions without answers. Maybe it takes a certain kind of perspective, a type of open-mindedness that is inherent to inventive minds, something that lies outside of the realm of proselytized methods. It is apparent, however, that the thing that creates new questions demands no formal education, but keen observations, and a means to isolate or create significance around those observations. Anybody can ask good questions about any given discipline; musicians about waste disposal, engineers about theology, journalists about quantum optics. Because of the disparity between what one knows and what one ask questions about, multidisciplinary threads are already woven into a fabric that contains the threads of questions and answers that fall in between the lines of modern conceptual machinations.
2. generalization of methods and solutions
There are an infinite number of possible problems that desire solutions and there are an ever-increasing number of know problems within the human context. Many of these problems have solutions that are applicable within any given field, but most solutions will be applied to a single instance of the problem occurrence, within the scope of the field posing the question. Every solution or solution method has cross-disciplinary applications that will inevitably be left unused in all circumstances. The generalization of problem solving and problem solving methods has the potential to create a medium through which problems may both be solved in a more general manner, and inevitably applied in a more general way. The ideas There exist an infinite number of methods for solving any kind of problem, regardless of its field of desired expertise, its apparent difficulty, even its apparent viability as containing marketable concepts. The application of specialized methods to solve problems will almost always create a problem solution that is less than optimal, and less generally applicable.
da Vinci Concept development components
1.personnel
who are they
The members of da Vinci Concept were initially chosen randomly from the pool of people knowing the founder and appearing to be interested in problem solving. This was the simplest and safest networking scheme, as many of the people spoken to were both trustworthy and easily persuaded to listen.
who will they be
Of the 56 people listed as members of the concept development forum, I expect only 15 to 20 to make any tangible contribution and only between 7 and 10 to become integral to the purpose of the concept. These core members will create much of the basis with which da Vinci Concept draws in its initial funding and solidly lays down some of the fundamental principles of the business. The core members will introduce new people to the idea in both a random and a searching fashion. Whether or not da Vinci Concept will advertise itself, or create secretive rumors about possible future potential is yet undecided, but for safety and sanity's sake, an abject NO to blatant advertisement of the ideas as part of everyday conversation. da Vinci Concept will eventually be made up of hundreds of problem solving professionals and non-professionals who will all share in ownership of the company as a privately traded venture, both to protect da Vinci capital from market fluctuations, and to assure clients of the motivation behind the business. tools
