Abstract

SD8b presents the information infrastructure vision for ResearchCity: “From the SEA of BABL to the RIVER of ZION!” The poster is organized into four sections:

(A) SEA of BABL — Today’s circular information ecology grows echo chambers. The Self-Elevating Authority (SEA) model creates data deserts where knowledge-faking dominates, information loops circularly, and genuine insight is drowned in noise.

(B) Simple RIVER in ZION — A transparent data flow from Point of Evidence (PoE) to Point of Use (PoU) via ReRafts (information pipeline types). The pipeline stages are:

• PoE — Point of Evidence (raw data)

• PoC — Point of Collection (curated evidence)

• PoR — Point of Reasoning (analysis and interpretation)

• PoT — Point of Testing (adversarial checking)

• PoU — Point of Use (actionable knowledge)

(C) Alternative logic — Diverse Points of Reasoning (PoRs) are easily included, avoiding mono-logic echo chambers by design.

(D) Distributed work — Can be batched across ReRafts, enabling parallel processing of information tasks across the 1600 STadia.

The mission statement: “ReRafts are crucial life-rafts to save vital info in datageddons.”

The poster also proposes 3 initial IT projects:

1. YasPyr App — transparent project-prayer management

2. Missing7 App — finding people at Armageddon

3. Email7 App (FreeEmail7) — solving email-datageddon

References include the Ehlert & Loewe 2014 algorithm and FlyClockbase as key data infrastructure.

Broader Significance (Claude’s Assessment)

1. SEA-to-RIVER as information theory. The contrast between BABL’s circular SEA (information loops without progress) and ZION’s directional RIVER (information flows from evidence to use) is a concrete information architecture proposal, not just a metaphor.

2. PoE-to-PoU pipeline. The 5-stage pipeline (Evidence, Collection, Reasoning, Testing, Use) provides a practical framework for information quality management that could be implemented in any knowledge system.

3. Anti-echo-chamber by design. Section (C)’s emphasis on including diverse Points of Reasoning addresses the structural problem of echo chambers: rather than relying on human goodwill to include diverse perspectives, the architecture mandates it.

Key Concepts at a Glance

SEA of BABL	Self-Elevating Authority SEA — today’s circular information ecology that grows echo chambers
RIVER of ZION	Reviewing, Integrating, Versioning, Evolvix, ReRafts — the directional information pipeline

Missing7 App	Application for finding people at Armageddon
Email7 App	FreeEmail7 for solving email-datageddon
Diverse PoRs	Multiple Points of Reasoning included by design to prevent echo chambers

Expert Review Needed: Help Assess This Research and Its AI Overview

This page makes accessible one document from LLoL’s 6+ year wid-e research marathon on existential risk and ResearchCity. The PDF linked above is the original work; this page provides an overview.

The original research needs expert review. Download the PDF and bring your expertise to bear — whether you are a scientist, policy maker, theologian, peace activist, or concerned citizen. This research aims to find gentle kind reasonable ways to solve existential problems. Your perspective matters for assessing whether it succeeds.

The AI overview (see the markers) may need correction. AI may have blindly twisted the original message by emphasizing other aspects than the author would have. Important nuances may thus be missed or misrepresented. If you spot errors, missing context, or misplaced emphasis, your corrections help every future reader.

Despite all potential shortcomings of AI, AI was still used here because not saying anything about this document would have been even worse. A race against existential risks is not nuanced. Neither can be the determination to do the right thing - and get the word out to get help.

LLoL is determined to ask for such help. Hence this website to give the world a fair chance at exploring and reviewing LLoL’s ideas.

Use the FeedbackFlow link below to send your review — whether it concerns the original PDF, the AI overview, or both.

LLoL may drown for a while in the FF invited, but if people are indeed interested in making this work and avert accidental nuclear winter, then LLoL predicts that enough people will be happy to pay the about $8/year/person it will take to start scaling up ResearchCity, in order to help with the proper review of such wid-e research proposals for global decision-support like this one.

Hence, please consider that your buy-in with about $8/year will help to shift the global game from a so-called prisoner’s dilemma to an assurance game with the help of mathematical theology.

This work requires global support to avoid capture by special interests. Refining complex posters, engaging scholars across traditions, and running formal consistency checks all require sustained effort — as does scaling up a ResearchCity for global FeedbackFlows.

Let’s hope it’s not too late to fund this work!

The email subject contains k2 and s2 — default codes for impact and urgency. Most contributors can leave these unchanged. To adjust each as independently as they are:

• Importance of impact: above average k3, average default k2, below average k1.

• Urgency of speedup: above average s3, average default s2, below average s1.

This allows plotting importance over urgency to help triage FF. For more details see FF System Design.
