Abstract

What lies below is a cybernetic ignition system: a step-by-step algorithm that feedforwards towards the future. There are five distinct stages to this ignition system, each in turn flowing out from the previous stage:

  1. 1.

    Setting a high concept picture and key values to set a coherent point in the future and compatible pattern of behaviour in times of uncertainty.

  2. 2.

    Benchmark the comparative competitive context.

  3. 3.

    Know yourself, so-called what-is.

  4. 4.

    Start the bottom-up ignition of multiple targets.

  5. 5.

    Repeat 1 to 5 to start the infinite regress through design space.
