Dialectical Engine - diversus-me/blossom GitHub Wiki

For many years the "Dialectical Engine" was the working title of the project. But as the term is for some people difficult to understand and we need some connectivity to the general public in order to implement the system, we changed the title to DIVERSUS. This name is easier to recollect and it contains the wonderful idea that the perspective of literally every living being is needed in order to understand reality, as reality is a phenomenon that has the inclination to constantly hide and change. We simply need as much data as possible to only describe it properly and in order to process the information we really need everybody. So we came up with the beautiful name "DIVERSUS", that can be understood as an inviting mantra, that is constantly opening the project to everybody - hoping that this openness is infectious and people understand that we deny all killing or damaging of life of any kind.

But after we started to implement TIM (time independent meetings) which is based on exactly the same technology and principles of collective cognition we recognised that the Dialectical Engine is still there: it is the entirety of underlaying technologies that can be used to build thousands of different applications that are aiming to accelerate knowledge building by exploiting the laws of dialectics.

The Dialectical Engine is the hidden project behind DIVERSUS and TIM that mysteriously emerges from all our activities and hopefully by attracting more and more open source people who are benefitting by contributing.
