What are the bonds which bring society together; what is the glue that fosters collective identity, shared values, and a sense of belonging within communities? A socially cohesive community is acheived by the degree of connectedness and solidarity through shared values, trust among members, and the ability of diverse individuals or groups to work together harmoniously.
This is the goal of One.

One believes in the sentiment for global cohesion promoted by the United Nations Secretary General – a vision also described by the UN's Sustainable Development Goals for a united future of inclusion and celebrated diversity. Their SDGs provide a template for thinking about a future in which we can be proud to be human by acting on the responsibilities which have come with the level of awareness inherent to a species experiencing intelligence.
If we were to take a first principles approach to AI alignment, we would start by actually defining who we are, both individually and at scale. Psychometrics can provide a high dimensional mathematical model of an individual's unique phycological identity, world-view and future-thinking aspirations through the field of mathematical psychology.
Considering the depth of character within us, cultural incentives can drive us to seem as if we were intensely superficial – especially if viewed from the perspective of social media data. What if AI could act as a sounding-board towards ourselves and between each other, using the knowledge of therapeutic psychology and psychometrics to uncover true states of emotional, cognitive and aspirational identity?
If we are to have the expectation of a transformative digital intelligence within our society and want for it to align with our human nature in a meaningful capacity we must be comfortable with the idea that to some degree we will need to virtualise our humanness in some measurable way – this is called a digital-twin.
This may sound abstract however in sentiment it is the same way we have been handing down our humanity and virtues generationally throughout history; by the successful handing-on of information, stories and ethics through language. Large Language Models have given us the foundations for this story – the story of who we are – however there are still unmapped inner worlds which are not frequently expressed socially or formally. Having an AI trained to seek maximal understanding of who you are and promote you by helping to bring you closer to your objectives and vision of your ideal future self with constructive logic (in the context of goal-setting) then AI can not only be better aligned with us individually but it also provides maximal self-awareness to become more aligned within ourselves.
This is a virtualisation of individual and social identity which would be unprecedented in its level of definition and will surely uncover new patterns in thinking and social dynamics which can bring new clarity to strategies of change.

AI agents can actively mediate introductions between people and toward constructive ideas which will maximally resonate with them.
Having a sense of direction requires some idea of a destination or an ideal future state. The ideal future state of the planet is currently hidden within the seperate visions held within of all of us.
One aims to increase the potential for an ideal future by increasing our awareness of what we are capable of and by defining future states through our beliefs and ideologies using technology and mathematical psychology to increase not only social cohesion, but provide a literal and quantifiable vision of a positive future for humanity.
The virtualisation of virtue itself creates a foundation for us to envision the ideal state of our future collectively – beyond our current ability to understand or imagine as individuals.
How can we qualify and quantify a concept of the imagination? Creating a dimensional model of scaling characteristics which reference the deeper understanding of our own psychometric data allows for the comparative analysis and semantic visualisation (through generative video) of what may otherwise have been abstract conceptions insoluble to our collective understanding.
With a tangible, engaging format for visualising future states we can not only self-generate and contribute ideals and perspectives from within ourselves but we can adopt the fragments of perspectives of others which align with us and in doing so consolidate a shared dream for a spectacular sense of unified direction.

An ever-evolving representation of our ideals
Conversational AI which uses generative imagery to aid in its communication of concepts.
If data can be thought of as a form of currency in the age of information, then in terms of the data we have on the true nature of ourselves as sentimental and ambitious human beings, we have only thus far been able to define ourselves with data in purely superficial dimensions, commercially. Business interests drive systems which loosely predict our buying habits and this analysis of human behaviour builds a commercial landscape which gives birth to new products, services and institutions which aim at intercepting the trajectory for our future selves with an alignment of virtues – leading to the transfer of value provided by meeting an expectation of customer needs with monetary value.
This is a fair motivator, however it is extremely low-fidelity in the fact that it is a process built mainly on assumptions determined by past behaviour and the further assumption that people know what they really want or have the appropriate motivation to want to understand themselves properly, outside the bounds of consumerist thinking or culturally-defined metrics which may not be truly providing personal growth or support to become all that they want to be. One is simply a framework for thinking about the directions we want to go in, in truth – and provides the capacity to be more deliberate about orienting ourselves and our thinking towards our individual goals.
In doing so we will inevitably uncover patterns in our collective ambition and be able to meet our future with a more informed and efficient process of transferring value toward our goals and between each other.
Social Broadcasting
Almost all current social media platforms and advertising channels use data on what you are doing now or what you have done in the past to build a model of what you want.
Intention Broadcasting
Understanding intentions can better project support (either socially, from institutions, commercially or from other AI agents) toward your future-self to help you to meet your goals.
Active-assistance through a goal-setting AI which aligns people, products, services and institutions.
Ideally a small, portable button (a standalone device with cellular connectivity, microphone and speaker for conversational AI) would be an affordable interface without the need for a computer or smartphone – this could provide the platform accessibility to reach every community around the world.
One will be available on all devices and platforms and will encourage spoken conversational interactions using natural language. The featured wireframe to the right is an indicative preview only and does not show the actual potential of its functionality.
Questions of 'are we alone', 'who created us' or 'where are we heading' become somewhat meaningless if we are not able to answer the question, 'who are we?'
What the future should mean to us is the opportunity to become closer to who we really are; who we really want to be. We may not be able to unite in beliefs in religion or even in science, but we can understand ourselves and each other in our perspectives by the courage and process of being honest. There is one direction in which all space is open to us, and I believe that direction is within. If we travel within ourselves, without fear or compromise but in pursuit of truth and understanding, we can find the answer.
Mathematical models and neural networks are simply tools to help us find ourselves – and like the tool of language itself opened a door within us to express new abstractions of thinking such as humour, music and art – I believe we have the potential now to open a new door within us which lets in collective truth and will abstract our awareness from the paradigm of separateness to the peace we will find in surrendering fear of each other to understanding.
What does it mean to you to speak from the heart? To not be afraid of being misunderstood? What if this was the baseline for how we all communicated with each other?
What if we had the resources to feed and clothe every single person on the planet? The truth is, we absolutely do. 100 trillion dollars trades hands every day on planet earth – some people may see this as some insane level of productivity and in many respects this is what it does represent. Personally, I see this as a marker of what happens when you place a system which is intrinsically corruptible above all else – the result being several billion people working like there is no tomorrow towards a future where by the definition of an unsustainable economy and ecology, there will be no tomorrow. So it could be said that we are in fact racing towards our own demise at the willing pace of 100 trillion dollars per day.
But I am not so pessimistic; clarity is a gift which can enable change.
I think Daniel Schmachtenberger sums up our current condition in perfect clarity, saying “The global market is like a misaligned super-intelligence already.”
To move past this all-encompassing system we need to think outside of it; we need to think as one.
Imagine a 'diffusion of understanding' whereas you share perspectives and knowledge with your 'nearest-neigbors' in understanding and life experience, functionally creating a realistic opportunity for growth and true understanding across all levels of self and social awareness without the fear represented in a learning curve with whch we may not be individually comfortable.
Through the virtualisation of ourselves, we can begin to create a map of our future. We can find alignment by sharing our hopes and dreams and learning from each other. As we are already transitioning toward becoming a globally-cybernetic species through digital technology, we should start to consider the idea that such a transformation could actually be a wonderful thing.
Life is not and never was static, we can change it whenever we want – I hope that One becomes a technology which allows us to consider that fact; individually, rationally and effectively.
Feature length documentary
We see diversity as ethnicity or gender, but what about the vast diversity within the human mind? The diversity within the depth of mental states of love, trauma, addiction, personality disorders, schizophrenia, homelessness, dissociation from identity, desperation, desire and death.
Documentary mini-series
Human perspectives reflect many sides of an inward-looking object – our desire for connection. What surrounds the object is a vast abyss of fear – that we will not be understood, or good enough. When we get closer to what is at our centre we may find that all we really need, is each other.
Feature length documentary
A visual journey through our collective imaginations as aided by generative video and the assimilation of data and sentiment. A projection of our conscious intentions and something tangible that we can think about – perhaps that we can feel about, and move towards.
This is a concept I have developed aspirationaly for validation and collaboration with individuals and organisations who may find alignment with it.
Note that One's goals are not commercially-driven (the aim is not the accumulation of wealth for the sake of financial gain of the company) but instead seeks social impact outcomes. One's goals are a) to sustain positive social impact, and b) to continue the development of it's own capabilities.
I can talk endlessly on this topic so please connect with me if you have any questions or interest.
