12) With the meta transform kludge, we can apply rigorous prims to non-rigorous domains. At least I hope so.

Thoughts?

5) Conclusion: problem-solving requires a meta transform upwards. You can't drive to successful task completion with a functional blind spot.

I also want a word count button in my Mac OneNote. There. I've said it. I want to drag it across from some Button Bookstore Depository bruiting about on my desktop.

A lot of cross-domain and hypothetical leaps and TBA and TBD. I'll leave it here for now.

7) It gives me strength to contemplate it. Even if it cannot work. Yet. I still believe we can get there from here.

2) Am I missing other internal, external, or endogenous points of friction that can be looked at?

3) More design details, specs and tech dives later (RAH helped, along with Texas Instruments; my friend David R. knows what I'm talking about).

More on heists TBA, but it's 'stealing ideas from the future by kludging necessary conditions' and 'stealing ideas from unrelated domains with new tricks.'

Your baseline human right:

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE WITHOUT SYSTEMIC DREAD.

The existence of an org implies an impermeable boundary around its humans. An org can can support no dread. By design.

Again, enshittification or it just happened that way?

2) To have someone speak up and if necessary advocate on your behalf, impartially, like public counsel.

Above all: to eliminate dread of the org. I'll come back to this.

Vital design lessons from Heinlein's gentle consumerist satire of the 1950s corporate treadmill, with an unfortunately jaw-droppingly strange resolution in the romance subplot.

9) In conclusion:

We don't need permission from anyone to clone a good org process and give it away to people to use freely.

First one in, turn on the lights.
