THE PEOPLES' FInES TOOLKIT: CSG/M John Sutcliffe-BraithwaiteTRANSCRIPT
THE PEOPLES’ FInES TOOLKIT: CSG/M Hello, everyone: I am delighted to be here today! My name: John Sutcliffe-Braithwaite, My agenda:
• Introduction to CSG/M (fuller exposition in the White Paper) – It can be seen as a ubiquitous FI Societal experimental methodology
• THE BIG QUESTION: What is Future Internet in the Real World?
– It is the socio-technology layer for complex society: we are key players
• A NEW RESEARCH PARADIGM: – The need for a new federation of research to effect strategic change – A new theory & science of societal complexity – A programme of Action Research/NPD to deliver CSG/M to the world
• My Aim: TO SHARE OUR WORK WIDELY. White Paper available: “EU Complexity Research-an integrated approach-THE PEOPLES TOOLKIT”
a proposal for federation between Future Internet Science/FInES & CAPS to design, deliver, and deploy an affordance called
THE PEOPLES’ TOOLKIT whose rationale is:
Science of complex systems + SocioTechnology + Emergence + ecologies + People: IS ‘SMART SOCIETY’ DYNAMICS

THE PEOPLES’ TOOLKIT: CSG/M - the societal layer for FI
We all ‘do complexity’, a kind-of Darwinian model
We all ‘do systems’, multi-level, Meta-models
We all do ‘SOCIETY’ - the greatest ERM System
But what is it fundamentally? - The evolving CAS of society
CSG/M takes systems thinking to new limits – computable society
Computing in-vivo human purpose, will & wilfulness
FI-CSG/M Engineers are socio-technical Meta-modellers Society’s complex systems available to all are the new social media Metaloger tapestries retain in perpetuity the aetiology of all ‘life’ SOCIONOME enactments index its dynamic DB We each weave our own tapestry: life uniquely computed together.
We will all be part of COMPUTABLE SOCIETY’

To the great sweep of change that is simplistically categorised as a technology-push and market-pull, can be added 'people-power' somewhat contentiously. There is a wide concern at blind technology leading the world towards the brink , and one of the answers is to give people the means to voice concerns in a way that makes them effective; there is an even wider issue, one of purpose and involvement generally in the march of progress. The interest in more effective democratic processes is widely pursued - from the western model, to that of China, from the model of involvement on the factory floor in Volvo or Japan, to the delivery of low technology to the Third World. We envisage a different way of re-capturing the organic wholeness of earlier societies:
JSB Thesis 2000, metamorphosed into S-GAIA
CSG/M: FI: GPS: the federation for Computable Society
• The argument: ‘FI’ is a fundamental phenomenon that requires a fundamental solution –as yet undefined: – it comprises intertwined Society/Complexity/ICT: we have not
defined what this means. Society & complexity is obvious at the everyday level – but its scientific basis & how it is computed is a new quest
• FI choreographs solutions in this complex world: – CSG/M is a toolkit to support this; it’s hypothesis is that Meta-
Modelling is how we work as humans; it is the basis of human complexity & involves all of Society: us, everyone, everywhere
• The toolkit is a generic ICT overlay on all existing systems; over the FI; it is: an evolutionary set of complex ecologies; in-vivo: processing ‘life’; it’s basis is novel systems-science – It will introduce & build a new computational paradigm of human
purpose i.e. Intertwined ‘Society/complexity/Meta-modelling’. Governance, Policy, Standards the core of Democracy: People do CSG/M from the bottom-up, Computable Society

CSG/M experiencing a way to a better world
We will all ‘engineer CSG/M’ – the societal internet
Bottom-up people’s perturbation is the new game Traditional societal control has given way to democracy and modern Communications – typefied by twittering in Tariha Square
Society is messy, old stability gone, no silver bullet ‘Controlling’ models of Society have to be re-fashioned to build the new paradigm of people ‘engaged, enabled and empowered’
Complexity science of social behaviour, is designed SOCIONOME, mimicking genomics, enabling in-vivo computational society, everyone will experience it: the new social computing Metaloger-labs are working socio-technology: ‘how we do things’, in our mind, our systems, & life
A new partnership and model of ‘GPS’ choreographs global Metaloger-tapestries of evolving society

The 'people' within the social-dramaturgical model give life to it; they enact a theatrical performance, cf the Theatre of War. They follow scripted dynamic processes, involving many audiences, whom they strive to please
the group is about existence, surviving, managing its world (and moving on). A focus is living with, handling, and managing change.
activity is purposeful, to build group meaning and identity. Professor Winston suggests language is the equivalence of 'grooming' for human groups to establish cohesion. Groups which lose this cohesion fall apart, however rationalised as due to external circumstances; the way to destroy individuals and groups is to isolate them.
People function by a complex marshalling of their personal resources, to accomplish goals, and survive obstacles. The group sustains this effort, feelings find expression and we become potent, ie 'motivated and empowered'. Fundamentally this is nurturing.
virtual networks need 'virtual' leadership for modern flexible organisations in which anyone can take the lead according to the priority of activities and the nature of each member (or specialist's) contribution, cf. Belbin's roles. Shakleton exhibited the inspirational leadership described by Goleman/Boyatzis/McKee, ref E20 "Primal Leadership", and enabled each person to exert their maximum contribution to success - survival - of the group
Engineering the Socio-technology of complex Society
The paradigm of Computable Society will involve huge ubiquitous societal involvement
Multiple Societal ecologies is a global scale effort; global GPS has a pivotal role in this major societal change programme
CSG/M will counter fragmented, fraudulent & criminal approaches to complexity in the real world
The EU is likely to lead CSG/M – eventually and it represents a major opportunity to support world sustainability
There are >1000 societal EU initiatives; FuturICT is a leader. There is a global
crisis; BAU is not an option. CSG/M is the right toolkit to support an integrated approach to FUTURE INTERNET & Complexity in the Real World.
