  • 2. Abstract:There are an estimated 6 billion cellphones and smartphones in use worldwide and about 3 billion people have fixed or mobileInternet access. This results in a massive amount of connections between people which has an impact on their life and work and thepower they can summon together to get things organized and done. This baffles traditional business types and politicians whonotice that their vertically layered closed hierarchies can no longer cope with complex environments and are outpaced andoutsmarted by online P2P horizontally interconnected groups of people, who co-create and learn together. Open organizations withhigh quality external communication links. The research question this lecture tries to help answer is: How are such wired groupsstructured DISTRIBUTED and how can they function as one fast responding organism which can scale up without centralcoordination and without central leadership? After the urgency for horizontalized organization and value chains is shown as oneof 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 andinformation. Recent discoveries in analysis of how the human brain may work based for a big part on MRI scanning measurementsand neurobiology & neuropsychology show that handling Patterns and matching those with memory and expectations is basic. Youcan look with your probably imperfect eyes but you see with the lenses in your brain. You can listen with your ears but you hearwith 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 imagesin parallel based on orthogonal transforms. This is pre-correlation which simplifies matching. This caters for the fact that with suchLens - holography like structures everybody can see the whole picture and can contribute to improvement of it and by combiningand synergy, help to develop emergent models for decentral consensus, vision & knowledge sharing, constructive solutions andactions. Maybe we will find that swarms of bees and colonies of billions of bacteria have used since millions of years the sameconnection structures to organize collective intelligent collaboration, so why dont we do that too using telecom- and computernetworks?This recently started research, which has combined a number of well known scientific findings, has important consequences foreffective 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-transitionco-creative economies. Not only can such connected group Weavelet react very fast to unexpected situations, it is resilient tofailing nodes and links and it can learn and cope with imperfections, incompleteness. To paraphrase an ancient philosopher: Sooutside, so inside the human brain: the connections are the message.(cc) 2013 vantill @ gmail com & sara @behavioraleconomics . net2

  • 4. Introduction: Network interconnection effects ?? At present there are about 6 billion cell phones (including smart phones) and about2.6 billion internet users active worldwide. Does that have effects? Sure. It lowerstransaction costs, makes organizations more transparent and allows new types ofcollaboration and network effects with synergy. Example: At disasters like the big Sichuan earthquake in central China in 2008volunteers reacted immediately and coordinated aid and each other with TWITTERand Facebook, while it took DAYS before the officials even published that theaccident took place and came to the scene. Example: the sudden flashmob of tens of thousands of young people eager toattend a party in Haren, NL last year, because a girl had made the mistake to inviteeverybody on FaceBook to her 16th birthday party.Did the partygoers organize themselves before and after they arrived by way ofnetworking? 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 outsmartedinto irrelevance? So networking has temporal (time) and spatial (distance) effects. Howcan 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 ina constructive way to collaborate? What can we learn from success stories so they will help us create even more ofthem?(cc) 2013 vantill @ gmail com &sara @ behavioraleconomics . net4

  • 26. What happens at the Transformed Plane? All of the information is available there (halfway theWeavelet) to make spatial (3D) models, for handling Depthand Proportions, and temporal (time: 4D) models ofmovements etc. to act upon. The patterns are distributed, stored and manipulated all overthe Weavelet by multiple feedback loops in contact with theecology around it. So collective and individual decisions andactions can be taken.Physical evidence: In optics halfway behind the lens thereis the FFT Transform plane. The image is fuzzy there, whileon the Focal plane it is sharp. Jumping spiders have 4distinct photoreceptor layers in their eyes, they can judgedistance to jump by processing the difference betweendefocused and focused layers.http://www.livescience.com/18143-jumping-spider-unique-vision.html(cc) 2013 vantill @ gmail com &sara @ behavioraleconomics . net26

  • 38. ConclusionsWe believe that weavelets - self-forming alliances of individuals, connected throughchannels made possible by advanced computing and communications technology presage a sea change in the evolution of the species. These groups, interconnected inways that mirror the patterns of living systems, can achieve fast, orthogonaltransformations (like the FFT), at a level never before possible. Using distributed modelsof thought and action, following maps hidden in plain sight in the natural world, they willhave the ability to collaborate quickly, seamlessly, and in service to the goal of bringingwhat Amartya Sen1 has called The Five Freedoms to all present and future travellers onthis beautiful, blue-green planet.Groups of people with a connected structure and distributed actions and decision powercan have an emergent mind and soul which is everywhere & nowhere like a hologram, alife form 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 Ideas [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: Myfavorite book on the subject is Earthdance by evolutionary biologist, Elisabet Sahtouris which covers the entireevolution of life on Earth. Chapter 11 of the book is called the Big Brain experimenthttp://www.ratical.org/LifeWeb/Erthdnce/chapter11.html. Toward the end of that chapter, Dr. Sahtouris makes this observation. "Particularly interesting is the fact thatbacteria invented communications systems prior to organizing themselves into nucleated cells, and thatnucleated cells invented intercellular communications systems before organizing themselves into multi-celledcreatures. This is how the Internet will play out its enormous role."(cc) 2013 vantill @ gmail com &sara @ behavioraleconomics . net 381 Sen, Amartya 2000, Development as Freedomhttp://www.amazon.com/Development-as-Freedom-Amartya-Sen/dp/0385720270
  • 39. Future research Weavelet-like structures and its functions can help to explain how emergentbehavior in groups of massively interconnected animals work. Imagine that the recently discovered underground interconnections by fungus wiresbetween trees in a forest would lead to a collective mind and spirit, in combinationwith changes in genes (changes DNA) ?? It might give Telecom Operators, ISPs and Internet network providers incentives todefend, preserve and strengthen Internet as a Web of Life. Imagine what would happen if the users of InstaGram, PhotoSynth and Layarwould interconnect APPs and clouds; and form a collective intelligent Weavelet?!Challenge 1. Will weavelet-like organization structures enable society tocreate new jobs and work for middle class workers with unique skills?Challenge 2. We suspect that combinations of [pinecones, cacti, LOFAR array radiotelescope math., Ben-Jacob bacteria growth, Fibonacci/ golden mean, galaxies] will showhow 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 mostappreciated.(cc) 2013 vantill @ gmail . com &sara @ behavioraleconomics . net39
