Wise Decision-Making & Integration Protocol (WDIP)
We're developing the universal methodology providing the 'How' for wise decision-making across the Global Governance Framework - a compassionate guide for navigating uncertainty, integrating diverse forms of wisdom, and arriving at choices that are not merely effective, but wise, just, and regenerative.
This framework will include:
- ð Five-Phase Process from Invitation & Framing through Deep Inquiry, Synthesis, Deliberation, to Living Implementation
- ð Holistic Sensemaking integrating scientific, Indigenous, spiritual, artistic, and experiential perspectives
- ðģ Seven-Generation Scoping evaluating all decisions for 200+ year impacts on future generations
- âĪïļ Relational Accountability assessing choices based on their impact on relationships with all beings and Earth
- â ïļ Precautionary Wisdom placing burden of proof on demonstrating safety for existential risks
- ðĪ AI-Mediated Impact Simulation Tools stress-testing decisions against core principles and long-term consequences
- ðŠķ Indigenous & Spiritual Council consultation with traditional knowledge and ceremonial guidance
- ð Adaptive Implementation with reflexivity engines and learning loops for continuous course correction
Expected completion: Q2 2025
ð§ The Philosophy of Wise Decision-Making
ð Beyond Linear Thinking
Complex civilizational challenges require decision-making processes that honor the interconnected nature of reality. WDIP moves beyond reductionist approaches to embrace holistic sensemaking.
ðģ Seven-Generation Perspective
Every decision is evaluated through a 200+ year lens, asking: "What choice would our ancestors be proud of and our descendants thank us for?" This radical shift from short-term gains to long-term flourishing.
âĪïļ Relational Accountability
Decisions are assessed based on their impact on relationships - among humans, between humans and non-human beings, and with Earth itself. The goal is to heal and strengthen bonds.
âĻ Emergent Coherence
Wise outcomes emerge from deep, authentic dialogue and integration of diverse truths, rather than being imposed through top-down authority or forced compromise.
ð The Five-Phase Wise Decision Process
The Invitation & Framing
The QuestionGoal: Arrive at shared understanding of the true question being asked.
- Issue triage and system mapping via AI Assistant
- Seven-generation framing by Global Council for the Future
- Formal public invitation for engagement
Deep Inquiry & Sensemaking
The ListeningGoal: Gather and honor all relevant knowledge and wisdom without premature judgment.
- Scientific & technical synthesis
- Indigenous & spiritual council consultation
- Lived experience testimony
- Non-human consultation via Rights of Nature
Synthesis & Possibility
The WeavingGoal: Generate diverse set of integrated, life-affirming potential pathways.
- Integration via Transdisciplinary Foresight Labs
- AI-mediated scenario modeling
- 3-5 distinct, holistic pathway generation
Deliberation & Choice
The Turning PointGoal: Make collective choice with full awareness of weight and consequences.
- Meta-Governance Council deliberation
- Principle-based assessment
- Consensus seeking with cultural mediation
- Transparent documentation of choice
Embodiment & Learning
The LivingGoal: Implement chosen path as living experiment and continuously learn.
- Adaptive implementation
- Real-time reflexivity engines
- Regular learning loops and reviews
- Knowledge sharing via Global Meaning Infrastructure
