22 Jun 2020
22 Jun 2020 – Strategies, declarations and sets of values and principles typically take the form of lists with a specific number of items. The number selected often varies between 8 and 30. Examples are the 8 Millennium Development Goals of the UN and the 30-fold Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Currently a major focus is given to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the UN.

The purpose here is to note further possibilities in 3D, building on the models previously presented — and offering interactive access to them over the web. The various design metaphors explored here frame the question as to how global integration might be comprehended in dynamic terms in virtual reality — especially given other possibilities that such models might suggest.

Neglected Critical Factor Undermining Global Strategic Viability – The attention of the media and governments worldwide to “COVID” can be seen as unprecedented. It is now a primary preoccupation of international institutions, most obviously the UN and the WHO. The strategic response has been variously framed as a “war.”

11 May 2020
Learning from Terrorism, Communism, Fascism and Evil as Pandemics of the Past – There is no denying that COVID-19 is a disease that is causing worldwide fatalities. Less evident is the extent to which it is a memetic disease–and the nature of the fatalities with which that is associated.

27 Apr 2020
27 Apr 2020 – The response to the coronavirus, COVID-19 and the pandemic is variously framed in terms of threat, fear, surprise, panic, evil, pestilence, and the like. There is a case for exploring the set of such images as a source of insight in its own right.

Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens - TRANSCEND Media Service,
20 Apr 2020
The following argument explores the sense in which the very form of the virus effectively mirrors the nature of global civilization at this time. To an interesting degree it could be asked whether COVID-19 “is” global civilization — or whether global civilization “is” COVID-19. Like it or not, does the coronavirus effectively define the identity of global civilization as humanity has chosen to engender it?

11 Apr 2020 – The argument here follows from a previous criticism of the strategy of social distancing, so rapidly adopted worldwide. The speed with which consensus was achieved within countries could be considered remarkable when compared to the procrastination so evident with respect to other issues variously upheld as urgent.

Zome Modelling Dynamics Allowing for Uncertainty in Perception of Order in Governance? Given widespread urgent calls for a “Global Plan” in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the argument first challenges the appropriateness of any “plan” in a global context. This is contrasted with the so-called doughnut model which has been presented as appropriate to ensuring a safe operating space for humanity.

30 Mar 2020 – The presentations here follow from an argument previously made suggesting that there were insights to be gained from the form of the coronavirus in 3D. In particular this highlighted the possible isomorphism between the configuration of spikes on the viral form and psychosocial forms potentially characterized in terms of “spikes”.

23 Mar 2020
The future may well marvel at the primary strategy advocated globally in response to the coronavirus pandemic, namely social distancing. The question here is the viability of social distancing on a planet on which overcrowding is already widely recognized — but as a purely local challenge. This is most evident in the restriction of access of tourists to popular destinations. The reality of local overcrowding is the theme of a separate argument which notes the total unreality of global implications

Reimagining Coronavirus in 3D as a Metaphor of Global Society in Distress
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens - TRANSCEND Media Service,
16 Mar 2020
16 Mar 2020 – Crowning pattern that connects spiky organisms, satellite constellations, nuclear explosions, and egomania? In a period of widespread concern about the coronavirus, and widespread media response, the concern here is with the possibility of another way of imagining its implication — of relevance to responses of new kind.

2 Mar 2020
The concern is with the accumulation of clues to a dramatic commemoration of the process, inspired by the Passion Plays so widely used with respect to the Trial of Jesus. The focus here is however on identification of dramatic elements and processes which might serve to highlight the passion for truth, most obviously associated with investigative journalism, and to a lesser degree by other disciplines exposed to lesser risk.

24 Feb 2020
19 Feb 2020 – The following items have been progressively accumulated as an addendum to an earlier document elaborated as a speculative dramatisation of the legal process against Julian Assange in several Christian countries. Given the probability of his extradition, trial and conviction in the USA, a further document was produced to offer Christians the possibility of collectively determining his punishment — in the spirit of that dramatisation.

10 Feb 2020
10 Feb 2020 – The discourse between those in favour of capitalism and those critical of it is now a characteristic of those concerned with social progress in general. The criticism of alternatives variously proposed could be said to follow a similar pattern. Both “sides” are comfortable with their understanding of the appropriateness of their own perspective and the dangerously misinformed inefficacy of the other — readily extended to framing what is opposed as fundamentally “evil”.

In a period of so-called just war, with which forms of “just torture” are increasingly evident, the concern in what follow is how best to reflect the highest democratic principles in those countries most inspired by the highest Christian values — and most implicated in the outcome of the trial of Julian Assange for having spoken truth to power.

16 Dec 2019 – Recognizing the Challenge of Soundscape Comprehension in Controversy and Emergency – Current discourse on any theme is readily recognized as characterized by distinctive “voices” and their associated “tones”.

2 Dec 2019
The argument follows from the controversial assertion recently made by President Macron of France with respect to the “brain death” of NATO and the potential implications for any “global brain”. The question that is obviously raised with respect to the brain metaphor is the nature of the “brain waves” which might be detectable as indicative of life and intelligence in any global collective such as the United Nations or in any “think tank” (originally termed a “brain box”).

11 Nov 2019
11 Nov 2019 – The world has been confronted by the assertion by President Macron that NATO is “brain dead”. Rather than explore the case made with regard to NATO alone, the institutional problem recognized is far more fundamental and general. Given its coincidental timing, the assessment could then be readily dismissed as a riposte to the recent formal withdrawal of the US from the Paris Climate Change Agreement.

From the psychosocial systemic perspective, naively neglected by environmentalists, Climate Activism can be usefully compared with a new religion — something to believe in urgently, as being vital to the salvation of the planet.

Imagining Toroidal Life as a Sustainable Alternative
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens – TRANSCEND Media Service,
9 Sep 2019
From Globalization to Toroidization or Back to Flatland? Much is made of the fundamental shift in historical perspective from living on a Flat Earth to dwelling on a rotating sphere — a globe revolving around the Sun. The argument here endeavours to clarify the manner in which the toroidal form can be used in support of imaginative insight of strategic relevance — for the individual, if not for the collective.

Any 16-fold pattern is a provocative challenge to comprehension, given the constraints on human capacity with respect to the complexity of any such pattern as a whole. This is especially the case when such a pattern is used by the United Nations to frame an overriding strategic preoccupation for global governance — with an explicit call for widespread credibility.

29 Jul 2019 – This exploration follows from previous concern that, despite their symbolic importance, little effort has been made to clarify the possible dynamics between people of wisdom variously configured together at an archetypal “round table”. The issue is of continuing importance with respect to 12-person juries and the committees of the wise periodically convened in response to challenges of governance.

22 Jul 2019 – Learning Action Avoidance from Rabbits in Anticipation of Disaster – Much is now made of assessments of carbon footprint, ecological footprint and climate footprint, and the strategies for their reduction in different situations. There is however a case for exploring the choice of the footprint metaphor given its associations with the most distant part of the human anatomy, however grounded it may be held to be — despite being necessarily left behind.

International Complicity in Avoidance of Consideration of Long-term Human Suffering – In a period when much is made of the consequences of evolution of global warming over the coming decades and to the end of the century — highlighted by extreme weather conditions — virtually nothing is discussed about the evolution of migration pressure over the decades to come. Whereas statistical estimates are available on the former, none are officially available on the latter.

It is currently irrelevant whether those procedures are in any way in question. Trump is therefore the legitimate representative of the American People.

1 Apr 2019 – The Tao symbol is widely known as an indication of viable harmony between opposites — understood as a possibility for a mature human civilization of the future. There is extensive commentary on the subtlety of the insight it represents, dating most notably from that of Laozi in the Tao Te Ching. This explains that the Tao is not a ‘name’ for a ‘thing’ but the underlying natural order of the Universe whose ultimate essence is difficult to circumscribe due to it being non conceptual yet evident in one’s being of aliveness.
