TAP ID (Identity)

Smart Question 00145:

What’s TAP ID?

TAP Response 00145:

It’s a whole new way of establishing improvement in identification in the world. It’s a fundamental improvement in the structuring of the TAP model and world. It’s primarily concerned with establishing a better identity of TAPPERS and TAP groups - the two main types of intelligence and important info generators within the TAP game world.

Smart Question 00146:

How’s TAP ID different from ID used in today’s world?

TAP Response 00146:

Many ways:
- 1) it’s more psychographics based and less demographics based;
- 2) it’s more self-identity based and less outsider’s misguided understanding of us based;
- 3) it’s more dynamic and less static based - changing continuously as we find better understanding of ourselves and the universe;
- 4) it’s more automatic and based on our activity within the TAP world;
- 5) [more coming soon]

Smart Question 00147:

Why’s TAP ID better?

TAP Response 00147:

It’s much more honest and truthful. It naturally encourages honesty over what we each believe will benefit us better by being dishonest.

Smart Question 00148:

Is the TAP ID an honest ID?

TAP Response 00148:

TAP ID is mostly automatically created by a TAPPER’s play activity within the game tool. TAP’s designed to create an honest identity of each TAPPER. It soon becomes clear enough, that pretending or lying only disadvantages the TAPPER. This is not to say, though, that a TAPPER cannot be the best of who they think they believe they really are. Meaning a TAPPER is encouraged to be aspirational re: self goodness. TAP’s NOT that interested in TAPPERS revealing the dirty secrets of their lives. TAP’s far more interested in what a TAPPER thinks about the important issues of civilization - personal opinion of important topics and subjects vs. telling the details of personal life stories.

Smart Question 00149:

What exactly goes into one’s TAP ID?

TAP Response 00149:

TAP tracks nearly every move the TAPPER makes within the TAP world. In the TAP world everyone is encouraged to be far more honest, less secretive and more open with their creativity sharing. Every personal list a TAPPER creates is considered personal creativity and personal input into what might be truth. So ALL case-lists a TAPPER engages in is very important to establishing the TAPPER ID. Almost as important are the TAP cases that are skipped or NOT engaged in. This too established ID. But many other things help establish TAP ID too, like what groups is membership claimed in, what one place a TAPPER calls ‘home base’ and where in the you navigate and explore - present and past. All this type of player activity data is tracked and becomes part of the ID that the TAPPER her/himself can review or any other TAPPER can explore.

Smart Question 00150:

What’s the TAP home base?

TAP Response 00150:

Everything a TAPPER does in the game is done with the TAP avatar. This avatar continues to play the game even when ‘you’ personally on inactive - whether this be a temporary attention shift to something else in your life or whether you close down the TAP game tool on your mobile device. The avatar never stops playing. So with TAP, ‘you’ MUST always think about where ‘you’ leave your avatar positioned or standing in the TAP world structure, for this is part of your TAP ID. But even more important than where ‘you’ leave ‘your’ avatar - is where, in the whole TAP world structure, ‘you’ call ‘home base.’ Home base is much like where ‘you’ claim your home in the real world. But in the TAP world, the entire world structure is mostly open to you. The exception is ‘closed private groups’ - that ‘you’ must be invited into to establish membership. But ‘you’ can choose any open group as ‘your’ home base. And ‘you’ can change this home base anytime 'you' feel like changing it. Your ‘home base’ is a very important piece of your TAP ID. TAP is a place to help every TAPPER find more happiness in their personal life. At times the home base is best established within no group, other than the one overall level 0 group. Meaning ‘you’ are a TAPPER but you presently want to be independent of all other people and their subgroups.

Smart Question 00151:

How does a TAP group get its TAP ID?

TAP Response 00151:

Much the same way as a TAPPER does, but instead of by the one mind - instead by the equal combining of all group member IDs. Also with where the group is positioned. Also by the case-lists adopted and thoughtfully not adopted. As well as the group voice of every case-list engaged as a group.

Smart Question 00152:

How does a TAPPER explore a TAP ID?

TAP Response 00152:

Independent of whether a TAPPER is exploring their own TAP ID, another TAPPER or a TAP group - the explorer MUST move their avatar to the thing they want to explore. This action tells the TAP Tool and others what the TAPPER is presently doing in the game. In the case of exploring something external vs. internal (self exploration), the TAPPER must navigate their avatar to the place just outside and adjacent to the subject to which they want to check out. Think of, with the 2D version of the TAP world structure, the one explorer square coming into contact with some other circle or square - the object’s perimeter geometry touching. Once precisely identified, it takes no time to travel from place to place in the TAP world. It can happen in an instant. From the adjacent touching position the explorer can explore anything the subject has explicitly stated the random explorer can see for data and creativity - understanding that in the TAP world everyone can always see certain important ID type information. But the TAP world does allow some restriction of some data and creativity to certain types of explorers.

Smart Question 00153:

So TAP does have some form of privacy and permission concepts within its structure?

TAP Response 00153:

Yes. TAP allows TAPPERS to specify family, friends, following/followers, etc., like many platforms do - and to grant permission or set restrictive access for each type. TAP even has the concept of event activation permission/restriction - which means certain types of life events trigger changes in permissions and restrictions. E.g. Physical death is a very important trigger in the TAP world.

Smart Question 00154:

What ID information can be kept from certain other TAPPERS?

TAP Response 00154:

One obvious type of information is real world name and demographic type data. E.g. ‘You’ when first becoming a TAPPER, ‘you’ may NOT want to reveal your true identity to random explorers - instead just playing with your general TAP ID which does NOT include your real-world ID. ‘You’ may want to prevent others from seeing your personal list data. This means they cannot do side-by-side comparisons of ‘your’ data with theirs or their groups. TAP encourages everyone to be more honest and open, but at the same time is designed to allow this type of openness to slowly evolve - as the TAPPER gets more and more comfortable with all the newness and openness.

Smart Question 00155:

What ID info cannot be hidden from others?

TAP Response 00155:

The basic TAP ID data cannot be controlled or hidden. This includes:
- 1) Unique TAPPER ID Code;
- 2) Home base position - world structure position ID / nav link;
- 3) Present position - world structure position ID / nav link;
- 4) Group membership IDs & nav links;
- 5) Case-lists engaged;
- 6) Case-lists skipped;
- 7) TAPPER life time = overall time that has passed since becoming a TAPPER;
- 8) Last active = time since last active in the game;
- 9) [more coming - lots more play/activity stats about the real person behind the avatar]

Smart Question 00156:

What’s a nav link?

TAP Response 00156:

It’s just a TAP way of immediately navigating to the position or object in the TAP world structure.
