THE COST OF RE-MINDING HUMANITY

THE AUTOGNOMICS (AG) PROJECT 
The presence of a Global Collective Consciousness with Conscience (Truth with Relevance & Goodness for all Humanity) in a society is the essential foundation for creating and growing a democracy. The American experiment with such is increasingly seriously threatened at its foundation.

TO CHANGE HUMANITY, WE MUST FIRST CHANGE THE HUMAN MIND
The Human mind, hence humankind, is on the doorstep of a co-created evolutionary extension of itself via a distinct new race of integrated human-machine systems (CyberGnomes) which will in time emerge as an embryonic form of an Autonomous Synthetic Mind (SynMind), the AutoGnome.

COMPARING THE COSTS OF EXISTING BIO/BRAIN RESEARCH TO THAT OF THE ONGOING MIND RESEARCH OF THE OF THE AUTOGNOMICS PROJECT
 At the human bio-level the human genome project revolutionized creative genetics [at a of cost of $3.8 billion over 13 years; with an estimated value created over 20 years at $800 billion].

At the human neurological-brain level the proposed human cognome project intends the complete mapping of the brain-sensor-effector system [estimated cost and benefits not yet agreed upon, but likely comparable to the genome project]

At the human mind level the AutoGnomics Project intends to experientially map the MultiCoRelational Whole Field Semiotic organization of the human mind, on this foundation to formulate a standard theory of mind, and to technologically synthesize and applicationally engineer its implementation (the AutoGnome), all via an open participation social network of collective intelligent communities of inquiry, innovation and implementation [the current citizen science effort to map the human microbiome is analogous], focused on developing and commercializing incremental components of this SynMind. [estimated cost at $750 thousand to initiate, $750 million to develop over 7 years, and $750 billion of created value over 14 years from initiation to adequate realization]. Note: The $750 million would include the building of a computer with an AutoGnomic Operating system.

AUTOGNOMICS (AG) DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS TO DATE
Over the past five decades, dating to the late 1950’s, an emerging trio of groups of geographically and functionally independent researchers coalesced as a distributed AG-founders team from 1979 to 1989 to focus on the completion of the formulation of the Specification for the AutoGnome (Autognomic Design Specification) which led to the inception and formation of the AutoGnomics Group of Companies (AGC) beginning in 1994. On this foundation, the bulk of the effort since has been on the interpretation of this specification in small modules of software code, bit MindClones, building toward a mature AutoGnome, a Virtual Mind (in a Virtual Community).Since the initial founding of the AGC in 1994, through 2010, AG technology has realized investments (partly directly and partly indirectly through key affiliates) of approximately $15 million applied to its development efforts.

AUTOGNOMICS VALUE – ESTIMATED
This project has produced what arguably remains as the only publicly known, globally existent, experientially-grounded, MultiCoRelational Whole Field Semiotically formulated, standard theory of mind with a detailed conceptual specification for building a synthetic mind. At a baseline value of $41 million in 1999 and conservatively assessing the value-added during the intervening decade and a half since, the current estimated value is of the order of $50 million.

THOUGHTSIGNS, INC. (TSI) 
As of 2011, TSI has absorbed the AGC development entities’ functions and serves as the AG developer and holder of the intellectual property. TSI’s founders [Fred Reed and myself-Jon Ray Hamann] are now poised to address the 7 Syns

beginning with the creation of a virtual ChaotiCosmos as Whole and, via a partitioning of the Whole, sub-creating a unit (atom) of relational life (Bion) on which to build the biological cell and explicate the derivative origin of consciousness – MIND creating MIND!

Since all that is known by humans is known by Mind, our approach to Re-Minding Humanity is that it will eventually emerge as a REFORMATION of GLOBAL HUMAN CULTURE evolving from our AutoGnomic Global Collective Consciousness with Conscience (Truth with Relevence & Goodness for all Humanity). For BigThinking to go beyond concepts demands big money—as a WAG estimate we are rounding the previously referenced $750 million for the AG Project to $1 Billion.

$100 MILLION WAS ONCE BIG MONEY FOR A START-UP. NOW, 
IT ’S COMMON.
Known as a mega-round in Silicon Valley, large-scale fund raising is producing a frenzy around tech companies with enough reach and momentum to absorb a large check.
