EL4DEV, a geostrategic tool to save Europe and the World.pdf

But what should we actually experiment with?

The goal is simply to experiment with the tangible benefits that these ethical rules could bring to
territories. This involves gaining insights from local samples of more balanced, sustainable, and
equitable socio-political, economic, and behavioral models, as well as experimenting with spirituality at
the core of local economies and governance. This would inevitably foster collective action within
societies by unveiling an ever-growing number of positive change-makers. Ultimately, it would enable a
transformative education powerful enough to propagate these positive movements of thought and cocreation beyond the borders of the territories involved.

The foundation of a social contract through EL4DEV’s progress dynamics

The territorial dynamics initiated by the EL4DEV program are unique because they take into account the
specific socio-economic and cultural characteristics of each region. These dynamics begin as highly
participatory, experience-based projects and quickly become viral through the use of information
technologies.
The numerous territorial civic implications (referred to as singular territorial dynamics) are
interconnected like pieces of a giant puzzle through an ingenious application mechanism powered by a
powerful catalyst: EL4DEV’s "Big Smart Data." Together, they will form a modular, highly scalable, and
adaptable structure. From this, a true global civil society will emerge in prototype form—arising in ways
no one anticipated.
The rules for exchange and global governance would ultimately be defined in a highly participatory
manner within the social contract, based on mass consent. Only through this consent can the muchenvisioned global civil society—often dismissed as utopian—be realized. In essence, the social contract
will emerge solely through the continually growing civic involvement of actors in territories across the
globe. The connection between territories will be built upon similarities in their civic initiatives. These
shared experiences across peoples will form the foundation of the social contract. The result will be
greater than the sum of its parts—a key principle of cybernetics, the science of self-regulating complex
systems.

The Social Contract: voluntary, not imposed

The social contract will never be imposed on individuals, nor will its values. It will exist because of the
deep and shared desire of a diverse international population seeking to evolve toward a sustainable and
far more respectful way of life for living beings and the environment. It will be born from the participatory
conceptualization of all global actors. It will emphasize positive interdependence and spirituality. Over
time, civil society will evolve from its basic form to increasingly sophisticated versions while retaining its
foundational principles.
