Or who else sees sustainability and investment as bondedto all the future exponentials of the natural gravity of systems to spin life or death?

Shocking Mathematical mistake causes humanity’s last century –will you help prevent this? who’s who of leadership concerned with this globalization challenge

As a statistician, I have never gone to sleep worrying that a meteorite will strike earth or that nature will invent a great plague. It’s not happened in millions of years of life, so there are many more individual ways that my life or that of my family’s line might be snuffed out than a natural global implosion.

However, as we all know life changed in the middle of the twentieth century when mankind invented nuclear fusion. In the wrong hands that could end the cleanliness on earth that all our human bodies need. What’s odd is that the mathematician most associated with nuclear Johny von Neumann also warned us of the dual-edge sword of computer networking connectivity. Ever increasing human connectivity can lead on the positive development exponential to ever greater collaborations of service and learning (co-mantor) networks between peoples and across cultures, but on the disaster exponential it can mean that the power to terrorise gets distributed to micro-teams as well the top being disconnected from the whole's need to be evolutionary alert at every coordinate.

Even though one of my dearest mentors was killed in a terror attack in London, I still believe that love of humanity and cross-cultural care for one another at the grassroots of education and society can win out for all peoples. But, the extreme irony for a mathematician like me is to face the situation where an exponential mathematical mistake – how organisations govern performance and economist advise national leaders – is now actuarially like to cause humanity’s termination this century.(Your brain's not much use without its other organs so why in a networked world would people design organsiations so that top and coordination (productive & demanding pressure) hubs of gravitational flows are separated?)


Whenever there is a mathematical mistake, there is a mathematical antidote. The full antidote of value multiplying exponentials requires contextual governance of every market sector’s compound future consequences which can be mapped around 10 interactions of productive and demanding relationships. Quite simple really –as you can start to see here – but not the first lesson we need to share between every decision-maker fro the 10 year old child to the fifties something leaders of the largest organisations in the world or anyone who waves networking connections in between.

Until the 4th quarter of the 20th Century, few corporations had simultaneous global impacts in the risks they took on humanity’s behalf. Those organisations that operated around the world were usually multinational. In other words, most of the risks they took were seen and operated at the national level. Up to this stage those who led the world’s markets could be content with a good job done if they stewarded the interactions of 2 meta-variables :
Lower cost
Higher quality

Progress of humanity depends on innovating higher quality not always going lower cost. There are remarkably many measurement and legislative professions whose maths is not wholly transparent enough to systemise this dynamic correctly but people in most democratic countries had a chance of weeding out these poor mathematicians before they compounded too much harm. However the connectivity of networks which makes all our localities interact globally now means that a 3rd critical variable has come into this play. This is most accurately defined in terms of a sector’s sustainability vision around the world – is each industry typology compounding a better or worse world in terms of the chances of sustaining or destroying life? Unfortunately no organisational system defined by the 20th century’s national democracies – be this global corporation, national government, or human interest network – has measurable accountability for systemically stewarding each industry sector’s sustainability of life. Unless humanity around the world stands up and demands those with the biggest leadership decision-making include this as the third measure of valuation of any sector’s compound impacts on peoples, the 21st century is statistically likely to be the last one to sustain 6 billion beings.

Any questions about: cost, quality, sector sustainability of life?
So now we know our mutual collaboration challenge, is there any way our transparency mapmaking communities at valuetrue.com or I can help you pass on this message?

Can you help us extend this who’s who’s listing of crisis in exponentials stewardship?

National Leaders who understand:
Queen Elizabeth – 2005 end of year message to Britain Commonwealth – Is Humanity turning on itself
Prime Minister Singh – 50 year learning curve on economics of nations who accept humanity’s number 1 duty : compound no underclass anywhere around the world

Corporate leaders known to fully understand:
Sir John Banham
Ray Anderson
Probably ebay’s leaders in view of their foundation for microfinance; probably Gordon Moore of Intel in view of his exponentials laws; probably co-founders of google if do no evil systemises their leadership of and valuation of networks
(please help aSIN extend this list)

Future History Journalists who appear to understand:
Thomas Friedman Marjorie Kelly

Economists who may understand:
?Benjamin Friedman

Scholars of law who seem to understand:
Margaret Blair, co-chair of Unseen Wealth
Joel Bakan- scriptwriter of Canadian documentary schools on global corporation

How can people all over the world cheerlead CEO leadership & sustainability like that which Ray Anderson exhibits?

The typical Business Case merchant today has corrupted measurement so much that human life and nature's future waves are not accounted for.
Compare some of the scripts of The Economist's lead editorial writer of the early 1980s, and today's warnings on Green is the New Red White & Blue from Thomas Friedman. If you feel ready to stand up for humanity, we can quickly train you up in the open source traffic light rankings of organisational governance or the 20 factors that citizens need to network transparency with global villages and deep communities. Chris Macrae, wcbn007@easynet.co.uk

Ray Anderson is unusual in exposing this business disgrace since he's the chairman of a New York quoted corporation. Extract:I’ve made the business case for sustainability over and over and over, as I have with you in terms of survival, the macro case, risk management, markets, people, processes, products, profits, purpose, shareholder value,all based on focusing proper attention to place.There’s no question in my mind, based on our experience at Interface that it’s a clear, compelling and refutable case, yet the sceptics remain.
So given the sceptics’ reluctance, even disdain and unwillingness to accept my case, I wish to challenge the sceptics to make their case. More precisely, I’d like to hear the business case for double glazing the planet withgreenhouse gases and while talking about the cost of preventing global warming, please address the cost of not preventing it.
I’d like to hear the business case for destroying habitat for countless species, about whose connection to human kind in many or most cases we have not a clue. Ecological ignorance abounds in our culture. Paul Hawken says an average American can name a thousand commercial brands and only about ten trees. Maybe with you it’s 500 commercial brands and 20 trees.
I’d like to hear the business case for poisoning air, water and land. I’d like to hear the business case for disrupting pollination and photosynthesis - that ought to be a really interesting one.
