how power1 gets done has new rule sets emerging
the focus is shifting from what power is to how power moves…
so what?
most people are out of step with the new pace of power2
what does the data say?3
- power | ˈpou(ə)r | noun
the ability to do something or act in a particular way…
–New Oxford American Dictionary 3rd edition Data is signaling that power moves in multi-dimensional, omnidirectional, surges, purges, and progressions…all at speed that require faster rates of adjustments than today’s leverage-based power systems can deal with. More on power systems*, leveraged-based and its competitors, in the sections to come. For now, let’s focus on how power moves.

- Ironically, often times it is those who think they are setting the pace are most out of step because they rush past the multi-factors that shape power and rush to a narrow rule set that does not factor in ‘external rule sets’ that arise from machine learning. click here for more↩

- tactical | taktək(ə) | adjective• (of a person or their actions) showing adroit planning; aiming at an end beyond the immediate action: in a tactical retreat, she moved into a hotel with her daughters.
• relating to or constituting actions carefully planned to gain a specific military end: as a tactical officer in the field he had no equal.
• (of bombing or weapons) done or for use in immediate support of military or naval operations. Often contrasted with strategic.
– New Oxford American Dictionary 3rd edition © 2010 by Oxford University Press, Inc. We humans have done it again. We have created a new technology we don’t yet fully understand. We think how Galileo handled things is a good reference for how to relate to new data flowing from new technology. To see how legacy power (business & more) models hinder power moves (an anticipated historical event because power moves in anticipatory cycles and loops), check this out this example involving Microsoft ∞ Google.
“Probably the best example is Microsoft: the company didn’t “miss mobile” — Windows Mobile came out in 2000 — but rather was handicapped by its allegiance to its license-based modular business model and inability to envision a world where its core product (Windows) was a planet orbiting mobile’s sun; everything about Windows Mobile’s design presumed the exact opposite.”

Patterns ∞ Opportunity ∞ Value
It is our point of view, there are patterns in the physical world, which lead to opportunities, which create value…
- our ability to make one’s way in the world (power) follows a pattern » different opportunities move at different rates
- distributive technologies are moving us and our money to move in complex patterns similar to how change moves in the physical world…
- some industries are closer to the physical world than others » the way they move, the patterns they display » holds insights for us all
Being close to food and technology uniquely positions us to help you better understand how distributive technologies can harmonize your world in known and yet to be discovered ways » systematically, scaleable, through known patterns

This morphing of each power pattern7 is causing an anticipated historical event. Due to new tools, in true traditional fashion, humans are once again being forced out of cherished routines and ‘processes’.8
Power always finds ways around leveraged assets.
All elements to this emerging understanding have not yet crystalized in form. However, the data are presenting many combinations of power that are underutilized by the current, leverage-dependent power structures, platforms, processes and more.
Presented below are the five basic patterns of power, and more.6
- the word pattern is both a noun, as in model or design, AND a verb, as in “Give a regular or intelligible form to”. For example “‘the brain not only receives information, but interprets and patterns it’”. For further clarity, when we refer to ‘power patterns’ we refer to both the quantifiable power factors and the qualitative power interactions.↩
- each in their own way, each with their own timeline of change; which requires we humans to adjust our ways and timelines.
- “Throughout history, scientific revolutions have been launched when new tools make possible new measurements and observations, e.g., the telescope, the microscope, spectrometers, DNA sequencers. They’ve enabled us to significantly increase our understanding of the natural world around us by collecting and analyzing large amounts of data. Our new big data tools now have the potential to usher an information-based scientific revolution on just about any domain of knowledge, – including people, and their varied interactions, organizations and institutions, – given our ability to now gather valuable data on almost any area of interest.” Irving Wladawsky-Berger↩

The data in the sliders below reveal the collapsing effect of what is currently happening to many classic ‘in-the-box’ power systems10. It is our point of view, this is happening due to new ‘peer-to-peer’ enabled machine learning technologies11 . A repeatable power interaction pattern12 is forming in spite of…
‘Never saw it coming…’
‘We thought we were safe…’
‘We thought doubling down on operational efficiency would help us ‘wait it out…’
- in this situation our use of ‘classic’ is similar to other references (the shift from classical physics to quantum physics, and more…) where before optical technology was able to bring clarity to situations (things like microscopes, telescopes, and more…) humans used ‘best guesses’, ‘rules of thumb’, averages and raw intuition to make perceptions and decisions. ↩
- in this situation our use of ‘machine learning’ is used to suggest the affect of today’s machine learning on our understanding of the physical world is similar to how previous optical technology, (e.g., eyeglasses, telescopes, sextants, microscopes, DNA sequencers, spectrometers, near-infrared, lidar, & more…) upended the way previous generations viewed the world and our place in it.That is to say the raw data, and early use case experience are demonstrating previous ways of perception and decision-making (best guesses, rules of thumb, averages, and more…) and the leverage-based power rule sets collapse as new multi-dimensional, omnidirectional, raw data streams in from machine learning tools.Tools like: blockchains,artificial intelligence, deep learning, cloud computing, hyper-connected networks, and so much more…)….This last point about leverage-based dependent power systems collapsing is evident and exampled in the next section.↩

We use the term playground in the way most understand it to mean: a place to hold recess. Where the focus is not on the stuff you can see (the playground equipment, or the open space used to play ball or tag), but rather on the human interactions that resets the brain.
To see how children’s playground and recess relates to the very adult interactions between power practitioners, stay with us as we take a closer look…
Playground is one of those words whose definition does not signal the full meaning of the word. Obviously, it is an outdoor area provided for children to play…, but the main focus is on the interactions that take place at recess that closes the loop on the full definition of the word playground.
Recess, a power situation that initially appears to be so simple as children playing, is in real terms a complex network of human power system(s) interacting within their physical world.
Technically speaking:
A multi-layer, multi-dimensional power system that moves in omnidirectional ways across many facets of power: Financial, Logistical, Analytical, Biological, Social.
Where the power factors include the stuff you can see and touch: the open space of 1) the playground itself, 2) the playground equipment, 3) the young people playing, 4) the supervising adults, 5) and more…
Where the power interaction loops are: 1) within each child’s individual mind, 2) between any two individual children, 3) between individuals and small groups of children, 4) between small groups of children and other small groups of children, 5) between any individual child or small groups of children and any number of supervising adults that happen to be present, at the moment and throughout the recess period, and more…
… the importance of the complexities of the quality of the interactions become self-evident
Another type of playground, most notably brought forth by Albert Einstein are thought experiments. Throughout time, power practitioners have used conceptual rather than actual experiments as a precondition to running experiments in the physical world.
agnetic, inspired by those that came before us, continues this systems design discipline by 1) conducting design focused use case power scenarios, 2) apprenticing focused use case power simulations and importantly 3) producing focused exponential power moves.
We provide these articles as playground equipment for other power practitioners to enjoy at recess. In the same way recess resets the human brain for school children by providing a necessary break from the rigors of concentrated academic challenges in the classroom, we offer this open space to give power practitioners open space to practice their power interaction capabilities, and more…
The ability to do something or act in a particular way is power. Power has many facets. Facets include both interactions and the factorsthey shape.
in this situation our use of ‘machine learning’ is used to suggest the affect of today’s machine learning on our understanding of the physical world is similar to how previous optical technology, (the microscope, the telescope and more…) upended the way previous generations viewed the world and our place in it.
That is to say the raw data, and early use case experience are demonstrating previous ways of perception and decision-making (best guesses, rules of thumb, averages, telescopes, and more…) and the leverage-based power rule sets collapse as new multi-dimensional, omnidirectional, raw data streams in from machine learning tools. Tools like: artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, cloud computing, hyper-connected networks, and so much more…).
