Awesome! This is exactly what I've been wanting to do for years.
These guys have found a marketable way to sell the concept, even if they're not sure what to do with it. I'm sure we do.
The Belief Genome: an open source technology startup
With this sort of tool, one can more easily map out Deficit Terrorist cells and their supporting networks. Then it's easier to organize a strategy for sending Bruise Missives to their key bottlenecks, the ones clogging our group thinking and preventing policy agility.
Yes, but what about Adaptive Innovator Cells? Can't we also map them, and send Groove Wishes, to collaborate and coordinate with them?
Adaptive war has indeed been virtualized. The battleground for national and species survival has now moved to the arena where Luddites and innovators OPENLY contest for control of their national and cultural Adaptive Rate.
To paraphrase Joshua Chamberlain: We cannot know what specific contexts the future may bring, and therefore cannot much prepare for them. We can, however, determine what sort of Adaptive Rates we can muster when those contexts strike. To better determine those capabilities, we can map AND VISUALIZE all our cultural processes, so we can practice making Rapid Adaptive Transitions in our own culture.

Bernays/Madison Ave/political machines have been using a form of this technology for decades. It isn't hard to condition a dog to eat cat food, get a man to dress like a clown or convince people to vote for their executioner---as long as you've got the $$$ to study and then manipulate. This is tried and true and it works marvelously.
Knowing what conscious or unconscious determinants influence beliefs is nice, but constructing a game plan with that information alone and expecting it to alter the inertia of belief is fanciful at best, especially when the time for action is now.
" To better determine those capabilities, we can map AND VISUALIZE all our cultural processes, "
This has been missing wrt monetary operations... good point here by Chamberlain...we gotta get started on this ....
rsp,
Matt -- ASAP and hopefully the referral that Roger got from wilwon32 for an animation group (see comment in earlier post) will help us do this.
