Open Webbook

Introduction

Welcome to the Webbook of the Self-Powered Community.

The Webbook focuses on philosophy, methodology, Infrastructure, and governance. Philosophy (for daily life) and methodology (from general methods to algorithms) in many directions directly relate to the GHA and GDT venture progress.

Infrastructure and Governance (I&G) form the pragmatic core of this venture. Operating globally, it manifests similar problems for millennia; in our time, we can identify similarities both in low- and high-income provinces (from the need for a holistic approach to precisely formulated tasks and their solutions).

Therefore, the question of choosing a strategic algorithm, where and with whom to start, and how to direct the works on the Webbook further is at stake. How to identify (find consensus) on task selection and prioritization? Where and what is the value that can be expected? Where is the space for the practical cases of AI/ML solutions? Has to human-machine approach chance?

Let me start with a present-time example of balancing the wishes of the Human and the environment where each of us (individual, team, collective) lives. The most critical are differences between low- and high-income provinces and the growing distance between poverty and affluence if expressed in money.

Let's say we have two projects on the Table that report data that can be compared and evaluated. Both projects are about access to water. Yes, it is a hypothetical and made-up example. It is not a project but an idea of how to look at two worlds: developing and advanced (in the standard classification), and how both can co-existence.

Let's introduce a case of a need for a water supply system in a rural area with prolonged water deficits for about one million inhabitants with an open idea of which technology will be used (for construction works and operation services).

In contrast, let's introduce a case of a water supply project with the assignment of high technology (with AI and ML components) for the reconstruction of the existing and expansion of the new water supply of a city of about one million inhabitants.

Two worlds, two different income groups, and the same problem, water supply. What should such projects have in common in the preparation, implementation, and operation stages? A quick answer will probably look like this: "NOTHING." Yes, of course, every question asked evokes the principle of some answers, especially in such a polarized environment of final Target Groups (TGs) and Beneficiaries (FBs) of the two worlds, rich and poor.

If the question does not only have political content but the answer is also expected from water management experts, it gives the sense to continue. In this case, all assignment stakeholders are pressed to work professionally and communicate precisely, e.g., according to dialectical diagrams (write down the assigned tasks, set priorities, search tasks, solve them, and compare the available findings). In other words, create, manage, and operate a stock of data better for specific purposes than for general, quasi-talking.

It means to communicate professionally about a specific issue, to search, create and check data, which will ultimately, for one field (access to water), bring benefits (the result) from various As-Is to a standard view of the To-Be of different objects of located in rural, peri-urban, and urban areas.

It will help them to solve the global problem of access to water in the Great Triad (GT) environment, help to set a system of task identification and project prioritization, and help to develop and implement new tools, e.g., New Project Paradigm (NPP), a tool beneficial for a wide span of other apps.

Therefore, both sides must work professionally and communicate via precisely formulated questions and answers virtually, simply online, e.g., via an international Web portal. Both sides need this platform for their internal needs and shared communication.

The low-income side, via the SPC Utility, can present their interest and ask on the Internet, "Does our solution reflect the principle of the high-tech for our real social environment? Where is the risk potential of business for this sector? Has the financial sector the will to participate in the win-win venture"?

The answer can look like this: If you are still in the project preparation stage, we would like to introduce you to this offer and the steps for alternative financing." Suppose communication has started and disseminated. The associated business activity penetrates TG and FB formations, and quality, the scope of management, and storage data capacity are growing.

It links other relevant cases via hundreds or thousands of potential solutions worldwide. Such communication can have many positive impacts, e.g., via Figure C4f (organizations and projects opportunities), Figure C7g.3 (relationships of Final Beneficiaries with the SPC Utility), and C10c (the new acceptance of the human-machine responsibility).

In other words, the Webbook says day-to-day philosophy feeds the content of communication, and the methodology, represented by the Internet (www services, like browsers, platforms, sites, and portals for e-mail, life chats, and video, and virtual contacts).

The Webbook suggests that the Internet can awaken the intellectual potential of the present population and enable and disseminate communication between TG and FG formations in a specific branch - Infrastructure and Governance (I&G).

It is the algorithmic work go step by step, from simple to complex responsibility relationships between the human-machine operations in the investment and maintenance of infrastructure projects. It will open a space for governance skills growth via project data communication worldwide.

The Internet is ready to grow worldwide, and the Webbook's objectives can be missed like many other things in their maturity stages. What exactly should we do in this case?

When the IP, as a project, is in the preparation stages and consequently more precisely introduces its "face," it will be more readable. Only after that it be feasible to understand the TG and FB formation much more profoundly and its communication needs introduced by this Webbook. It is the specific task for apps of dialectic (both cycle and dynamic grading) diagrams of these maturity processes.

Currently, the TG and FB formation has no address structure, and no internal hierarchy model exists to build the future. It makes market operations too complex, and communication between TG and FB, and inside of both, is unproductive (almost dangerous) for any GHA and GDT base-building steps.

These transformations need an environment based on the daily mode of data management, their evaluation, and further use (in statistics, benchmarking, checking, auditing, etc.) unified worldwide.

The emergence of this environment (in other words, the Infrastructure of both GHA and GDT) is a necessary condition for achieving target changes, mainly progress in the preparation and implementation of projects, performance, and competitiveness of enterprises.

In other words, they are achieving the stage when social and economic transformations will continue, grow, and reflect the changes in building a new and common infrastructure serving the needs of the TG and FB formations entering the growing structure of objects of both GHA and GDT.

The new processes of GHA and GDT need their own (new) Infrastructure to successfully build new structures (of projects, organizations for education, governance, and other services for all spectrums of operations).

The GHA and GDT are processes that need to grow on the new Infrastructure, step by step, as they progress through time and global space from As-Is states to the vision of a unified To-Be. In summary, it is about a business "symphony" building, e.g., by Figure C5c (the chain: project-supplier-organization-customers) or Figure C10e.2 (model of a strategy algorithm).

The introduction to the web book is reminiscent of the Genesis of thinking and behavior of a person who tries to use a new tool that he developed himself, and only when implementing it, does he find out what the new tool has to offer him. In our case, it is about the entry of the Internet into the growing distribution of social and economic relations, specifically between individuals, teams, and collectives TG and FB. How to proceed? What about the opportunity below?

Coalition for the UN We Need (C4UNWN)

C4UNWN provides an open forum for civil society, the United Nations and Member States to support the renewal, innovation, and strengthening of the United Nations system. They support and initiate partnerships, activities, campaigns, information gathering and sharing, progressive ideas, leadership, and advocacy for new paths.

Let me introduce an idea of how to proceed with a link to the new UN initiative via Webbook. The work on the Webbook will end in 2025. It is enough time to look for the needed space for the next steps.

There is an excellent opportunity to supplement this UN initiative with a parallel effort but with the stream of communication in the opposite direction. First, to grip a specific detail and then its content transfer into an understandable and precise (aimed) discussion, still on a general level.

Both directions, top-down, starting on the general issues, and bottom-up, streaming to the holistic thinking, are for the UN operations helpful.

There's a lot to talk about. The world will gain significant experience in project strategy, tactics, preparation, implementation, and operations in various applications over the past 23 and seven upcoming years to 2030 (e.g., through SED packages, DRR, and HA projects, see, e.g., Figure W11).

UN has presented a new vision for the world development of the Century in two steps and is now preparing for the third one. The first step was the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) during the years 2000-2015, and the second step was the promotion of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2015–2030. That being said, the third step is behind the door.

The ongoing process of the second step is an attempt to use the project tool for a wide range of tasks (17 goals) for all people from all states. A new platform is being created that needs to be rebuilt for the communication environment of 21. Century.

There is a chance to utilize the second step to build the next one. The open question still is what it means and how to do it. The first step, especially the second, will evaluate how everything turned out and how to proceed. There are a lot of challenges and new stimuli in the game.

The Author has monitored the Coalition for the UN activities for over two years, inspiring him to the idea of the Internet Portal (IP) under the UN umbrella. The idea is about how to grip a specific detail and then its content transfer into an understandable and precise (aimed) discussion, as was said above.

Both directions, top-down, starting on the general issues, and bottom-up, streaming to the holistic thinking, are for the UN operations helpful. The Website and Webbook (W&W) recommend that Infrastructure and Governance (I&G) be accepted as the "detail" of this global Internet Portal (IP).

The start-up step is formulating a need for a worldwide standard IP for Infrastructure and Governance (I&G) tasks, its added value, and the risks of its failure. The Author of the Webbook is persuaded that the UN level is the best place to start this work.

For example, forming a Task Force to precisely describe the reason for building the IP and advocate it. If the Webbook is accepted as one of the inputs, he is ready to participate and endorse the vision of the IP and its mission content.

Content

Chapters of the Webbook (A, B, C, D, E, and F) offer presentations in different deep of their content. The first two Chapters, A and B, describe the web intention and methodology of the SPC Concept and will be finished as the last one. When all chapters are completed, at least with the content like Chapter C, they will be all structured by sub-sections called Figures with numbering.

The Webbook is almost in the preparation stage and is more about ideas, information, and data collection than a book with a complete and closed text structure. Chapter C is in the full text and offers a view and suggestions on respecting the social and business feasibility of the SPC Concept. It pays attention to the growing impact of computer (machine) distribution systems worldwide and aims to utilize these opportunities for projects and organizations in low-income countries.

Chapter C forms and navigates the content of Chapters D and E (SPC Utility and SPC Drivers). Both D and E Chapters represent work in progress and will form the central portion of the works of 2023. Chapter F is outlined and will reflect the progress of chapters C, D, and E. Via specific projects.

Webbook will try to map a link to the social and economic environment in low-income provinces worldwide in Chapter F. The author estimates to close the Webbook at the end of 2025.

Its Content offers six chapters:

• A – Intention

• B – Methodology

• C – SPC Concept

• D – SPC Utility

• E – SPC Drivers

• F – Project examples

• Abbreviations

• List of Figures

General notes

The Open Webbook is a process of preparing the unification of multiple opinions on using of new opportunities that new technologies bring. Its meaningfulness conditions the behavior and knowledge of people willing to work with this tool. The Webbook enters new processes called Global Digital Transformation (GDT) and Global Human Adaptation (GHA). Both GDT and GHA are linked. The reason is simple.

Technologies have reached a level of development in a global dimension, which will no longer be meaningful if the digitization of things (data flow) does not develop in parallel (in a meaningful way) with the adaptation of people to new data flow and procedures. The market is about goods for people (people as payers), and people need to know how and why they buy new things. Both sides are bound to keep their steps on the market offers and demand. It applies to the behavior (existence) of families, local markets, and global markets.

The author of the Open Webbook works in a broad spectrum of information (more the web reader finds on the bar Genesis and References). It allows him to evaluate many previous works (in books, magazines, conference conclusions, webinars, etc.) and defines the space for unifying information, data, and algorithms. It assists him in looking for paths for consensus on the technical, economic, and legal feasibility not only of the Webbook itself but also for projects (project portfolio) during their implementation and utilization in the framework of the SPC Concept. Open Webbook addresses Target Group (TG) and Final beneficiaries (FB) to start independent activities for the SPC utilization if it interests them.

The goal of the Webbook is not to write another book, magazine, or advertisement and publish them in an established media environment. The goal is to construct a platform for obtaining space, resources, and social stability for the involvement of organizations in the preparation and implementation of a standard large (vast) project (project portfolio). It concerns tasks for the needs of a province (studies for FB) and functions for global markets (lessons for TG linked to FB). It is about the pre-set assignment for, at first unknown conditions of a specific territory in a size of a province, which operates on principles of democracy in a balance between Homo Sapiens and Homo Diabolis by Chapter C6 (Figure C6c.1).

Webbook is a new place for planning and implementing activities (in the project's structure). It is a place for creating and consolidating work procedures into a standard methodology. It is a place for monitoring and evaluating results (e.g., by benchmarking examples of projects with a distinction between the talent of individuals, the professionalism of teams, and collectives representing the relevant territorial units, e.g., province).

Webbook's structure is introduced via broadly utilized triad functions, dialectic, and dynamic (debate) diagrams. Like the MOME, ABOUT, and TO WHOM Sections, the Webbook building, and internal structure can be described using a Dialectical Diagram. The Author uses a simple system based on a package of "six items."

Anyone can argue how simple it looks, adding a sarcastic comment, "how primitive it is." But anyone such an Observer must be careful because such a court is more about personal obtuseness (self-conceit) and does not respect of principles of "Nature" (e.g., the principle "water flows" forms all algorithms of any cycles that involve item water).

It is further why Dialectic Diagrams (its two versions) are pointed out (underlined) at the beginning of Chapter C to maintain the balance of the Human courts and Nature principles. It is a strongly recommended methodological tool for the correct and less conflict decision-making for any Webbook reader in many areas (e.g., in a matter of any flows).

It means, for example, it is not only about the water but also about data, information, money, etc.; it is about any other physical and idea "data" flow in time in the As-Is and To-Be spectrum. Any engineer knows how strong an "enemy" the water can be, the unintimated water flow in open countryside, or any building processes.

The same is valid if citizens start to talk about the impacts of any data, information, money, or blessing at the wrong time, place, or in favor of the wrong object. To all of them, the Dialectic Diagram technique can help.

Figure W.9 and Story 4 of the Webbook Section

Diagrams we can read this way:

Be careful, and don't use the red line. To go directly on the path through a concept script, item (d), and believe that you reach the goal (a) is fiction (for someone, maybe a dream). It can be tempting but always marked by a populist distortion. For any Homo Diabolis (see, e.g., Figure C6a), it is the most pragmatic way to promptly hide deformations at any work (project) that are almost invisible, hidden, and often discovered too late.

This is the reason why the Author introduces Chapter C via the Dialectic Diagram (its two versions) at the beginning. So, "no pain, no gain," the green line is the correct direction. You can read diagrams in this way:

The green line gives a sense. If you have an intention, then the item (a) and your paths to the item (d) and back create initiation cycles that help you formulate the first idea of the SPC Concept. To make some progress, you must start building the proper methodology, item (b). You must create the future function of a body responsible for all project's preparation and implementation; you must start work on the SPC Utility system building and know with whom and what the SPC Utility will do, item (e).

In parallel, you should start mapping where, when, and how you will operate in situ in the environment of a specific province to begin building the SPC Drivers system, item (c). If you have the structure of all three-step in the design process, you must think about how to test them, control them, and benchmark them, item (f).

Then you can expect some results and readiness to enter the subsequent cycles and iterate to excellent results. For example, the Webbook presented here in April 2023 has many processes behind it, and plenty of cycles lie yet ahead of the Author.

The Diamond Grading Model (see Chapter C9 and in annex of Chapter C) is an example of an effort of sustainable value on the global market. It is a good example and a strong inspiration for gaining sustainability on your project's paths to your goals.
