TAP Communities

All groups within the TAP virtual world can be thought of as communities - as one thinks about a community within our present physical "real" world.

Groups can easily exist within TAP that represent real-world communities. The problem then becomes one of the inclusion and exclusion issue that readily exists in our real world. TAP does NOT exist to replicate the problems that exist in today's world. Instead it exists to eliminate many of the problems today's world have - because of its design and rules.

TAP will allow for private groups to exist within it. But these will be in the minority. More will exist in the initial stages of launching TAP - when people do not fully understand TAP. There are practical applications for private groups within TAP. A simple example is a family unit - as a family unit is understood and defined in today's world. But YOU will soon learn that even "family units" change in the TAP world.

The very best way to teach something new is to have the target audience ask specific questions along a new understanding flow path. This versus me just spewing out new information as I see best. I'm actually the very worst candidate to act as teacher. My more detailed understanding can often cause me to fluff over very important new concepts. Things I take for granted but the audience has little to no understanding of. Because of this issue, I encourage Nina (with help from YOU) to direct me within the educational flow concept.

There is however a core of understanding YOU should be aware of re groups and communities...
The core is the identity of the group within the greater structure that is ALL groups that make up the whole structure.
So both structure and the identity of all objects within the structure MUST be first addressed and better understood.
Prior to any group or community doing anything as a group in a world -
- we MUST understand how they exist and how they are identified -
  - so that we ALL can better understand them relative to all other groups and communities that exist or that can be created anew.
As a player within TAP YOU must give yourself identity -
- and YOU must position yourself inside or outside of groups.
So let's first consider a 2D model of the TAP virtual world...
- Just as easily a #D model can be envisioned.
YOU are represented as a "square" in the model.
ALL groups are represented as "circles."
The entire TAP world is one large circle.
Within this one large circle exists smaller circles and even smaller squares.
Every smaller circle contains a minimum of two squares.
- Meaning: Every group requires a minimum of two players.
Squares (players) can however exist outside of smaller circles.
- This is a very important place in the TAP world called "totally independent."
  - Being totally independent of ALL others and all groups -
    - is a very important place to establish in the realm of possibility within the TAP world.
      - It's a place WE all need to go to in our minds from time to time.
Smaller circles (groups) can exist inside other circles (groups.)
There's no limit to the depths of groups within other groups.
New groups can be easily created by any two players.
Old groups can dissolve and disappear -
- any time a group becomes a single player.
Because all players are free to come and go -
- at any moment in time
- from ALL open (public) groups -
  - the overall structure of the TAP world is constantly changing.
In the TAP world, as a player, YOU must consider several things about YOU (your avatar) within the structure of the world:
- YOUR stance position - think of where YOU move and leave your avatar positioned in time and space.
- YOUR home base - think of the place YOU call home in the TAP world.
  - Understanding that YOU can navigate and explore almost anywhere else in the TAP world.
- YOUR communities - think of belonging to group(s) and communities.
  - Any number of different groups.
    - Private and public.
Like our physical world YOU must think about where you are at all time.
- For where you stand helps to establish your identity.
  - Others will infer things about YOU from where they discover YOUR avatar standing.
But stance position is NOT the most important attribute to YOUR ID.
- More important is YOUR home base.
  - The place you call home in the TAP world.
- YOUR home base can be:
  - In a group; or
  - Totally independent
- Just one or the other!
Then there are any groups you claim membership within.
- No limit to how many.
- YOU can claim membership in none.
- These decisions also impact YOUR identity.
Just like all players -
- ALL groups have an identity.
Even being totally independent -
- indirectly puts YOU in a group -
  - of totally independent players.
The group of totally independent players have their own identity as this group.
- Though NOT a very meaningful identity in the TAP world.
There's rules to how new groups get formed and where they end up being positioned in the TAP world.
- Too much detail for now.
- I will NOT get into all these rules now.
Instead I will shift to the identity of groups now.
Just like players there is indirect and direct ID.
- Indirect ID is inferred identity because of factors like:
  - Position in structure
  - Number of members
- Direct ID is an automatically generated ID by combining ALL the IDs of the present membership.
Let's now focus on a group's direct ID...
- If YOU can imagine every player of the TAP world holding up a sign that is a visible identity -
  - think of every group holding up a similar sign.
This ID sign for the group is automatically generated by combining equally the signs of all group members.
TAP groups have no leadership.
- Instead every member is a perfect equal with every other member.
It's the construct of the direct ID signage and the ability to automatically generate direct ID -
- that allows for no leadership to be necessary.
As new members join a group -
- and as old members leave a group -
  - the group ID automatically adjusts itself.
The solution simply combines the IDs of all active members.
In the TAP world a community or group is NOT what leadership presents it as being.
- Instead a group is what its members combine to say it is.
- This solution greatly helps to reduce misrepresentation in the TAP world.
  - So WE who navigate and explore the world have much more honest information with which to make important decisions about:
    - Where we call home base.
    - Where we claim membership in.
    - Where we stand and leave our avatar.
  - All that impact our indirect identity in the world.
TAP is designed the way it is in order to help YOU better -
- make better personal decisions -
  - that can directly impact your life.
So as I started out this discussion with...
- Before YOU do anything with anyone else in the TAP world -
  - TAP is designed to help YOU:
    - Feel better
    - Trust important information better
    - Make better personal decisions
TAP believes -
- with YOU being a happier individual in the world -
  - YOU will be a better citizen in the world.
- And with better and happier citizens will come a better overall world!
A simple base concept -
- with which to build an improved world upon.

So the TAP world is very different than today's real world.
It changes in many ways how we all think and act in its world -
- and possibly in the real world too.
It is one of the objectives -
- for TAP to create more positive things in the real world.
Here are some of the things we hope TAP will do for YOU and the world:
- Help YOU find more happiness.
- Help YOU feel more an equal contributor of positive things in the world.
- Help YOU improve many aspects of YOUR daily life, like:
  - Be more honest.
  - Be engaged more in the work and decision-making of YOUR communities.
  - Fear far less.
  - Have a better understanding of what might be truth.
  - Make better informed personal decisions.
  - Better prioritize all the things of your life.
  - Better understand the agreement & disagreement -
    - in all your groups with TAP;
    - across the entire world of TAP participants.
  - Better focus YOUR limited time and resources.
  - Get more free time in YOUR life.
  - Focus more on YOUR positive creativity.
  - Get more and better help -
    - when YOU need it.
  - Build YOUR avatar -
    - that will survive YOU after YOUR physical world death.
  - Greatly reduce the moments in YOUR life when YOU consider suicide.
  - Experience far more harmony within group interaction.
  - Be more open -
    - fear privacy concerns far less.
  - Get way more helpful feedback.
  - Be more accepting of others' beliefs.
  - Be exposed to far more new positive possibility.
  - Pursue YOUR passions and interests more.
I could keep going and going with other positives -
- that TAP can make more accessible to YOU.
Almost everything in our world and in the universe -
- can be taken to either side of the bad vs. good continuum.
- TAP included.
TAP exists to change:
- solutions
- models
- systems
- processes
- rules & law
TAP does NOT look to directly change human beings -
- and their intrinsic imperfections.
Instead TAP is designed to work with all our shortcomings.
Simply recognizing they exist -
- and building better solutions to deal with the reality of their existence.
TAP simply provides (perhaps) better possible alternatives.
- TAP is NOT 100% certain every alternative will result in long-term improvement.
- But the awareness of the alternative itself is beneficial itself.
  - If not -
    - only to allow us all to better assess what exists today.
TAP believes that assessment of anything is better accomplished -
- with a side-by-side comparison of options.
With this comes a better understanding of the PROs and CONs of each option.
- And then a better overall assessment.
- And then a better decision.
TAP is just one more tool in the toolbox to have available to fix the issue or problem -
- or add improvement toward reaching the objective and goal.
