TAP WEB

Smart Question 00177:

What’s the TAP Web?

TAP Response 00177:

It’s a structure and solution for organizing individual minds into effective groups for the objectives of improved decision-making.

Smart Question 00178:

How’s the TAP Web work?

TAP Response 00178:

Place in your mind a 2D or 3D spider web like structure. Place droplets of water on this web structure. The droplets are individual tappers. Now imagine the center most droplets. These are the core tappers or core decision-makers. NOT self-appointed. Instead evaluated and assessed by those adjacent tappers in the web structure and placed there by necessity of objectives. What is assessed is understanding of all things TAP. As we move outward from the core the overall understanding becomes less and less. New and novice TAP minds are found at the outermost web segments. But within the TAP Web solution is the possibility that any mind can work its way to the core position. Also understand that people die and the core constantly changes with the next closest minds.

Smart Question 00307:

How’s the TAP Web determine who 'the alien' is?

TAP Response 00307:

The TAP alien is a real human being. The alien simply possesses a different way of thinking about the world and universe. TAP Ed simply provides the story of this way of thinking and the improvement possibility TAP makes possible. The alien will one day, maybe even soon, die. Or the alien will become sick or otherwise incapacitated. TAP can definitely survive on its own without the need for the alien. But 'the alien' does provide a very important function for TAP. The alien motivates everyone of the world to work hard at the TAP objectives. The role of the alien can be attained by anyone willing to put in the work. The TAP Web also exists to continuously provide 'the alien' mind at the heart of the web.

Smart Question 00308:

What's the detailed structure of the web?

TAP Response 00308:

Place at the center of the TAP Web 'the alien' mind. Imagine a small square represents this mind. Draw a ring (circle) around this square and place three (3) more squares equidistant apart on this ring. Draw connective lines from the alien square to each of the other 3 squares. Now draw a slightly larger concentric circle. Call this ring R2 and the first ring R1. Place 9 more squares on this ring. Then draw connective lines from each of the three R1 squares to the nearest three (3) R2 squares. Repeat the concentric circles and squares for as many TAPPERS who join TAP. Note that each inner structure square connects:
- 1) inwardly to only one (1) other
- 2) laterally to two (2) others
- 3) outwardly to three (3) others
The rings, positions and connections are very important to the overall TAP Web structure. They define important groups and how communication happens between groups and all individual minds.

Smart Question 00311:

How many concentric rings would exist if Earth's total population were included in the TAP web?

TAP Response 00311:

Twenty-one (21)

Smart Question 00312:

How many TAPPERS can then exist within that 21st ring?

TAP Response 00312:

10,460,353,203

Smart Question 00313:

How does the web improve communication?

TAP Response 00313:

All TAPPERS inside the outermost ring are connected to six (6) other TAPPERS. But the newest and lowest scoring TAPPERS - on the outermost ring are connected to only three (3) other TAPPERS. The web exists is better control participant contribution (info & data) flow - through better controlled communication flow. Every TAPPER has limited communication access established by the web. 'You' can only directly communicate 'your' creativity and response contribution with those directly connected to 'you.'

Smart Question 00309:

How does a TAPPER, across time, change position in the web?

TAP Response 00309:

TAPPERS can move in either direction - inward or outward. TAPPERS do not move laterally around their present ring. A TAPPER moves inward when assessed to have advanced understanding of TAP. A TAPPER can however be moved outward - if other(s) have been assessed with more TAP understanding than the subject TAPPER. A TAPPER can voluntarily swap positions with any of their 3 outward connections - simply by self-assessing that their protégé has a better understanding of TAP. But a protégé TAPPER need not always replace their mentor TAPPER. A protégé can also replace someone else from the more inward-positioned ring. To do this, the subject simply needs to attain a TAP Ed assessment score that is better than the lowest score mind on their mentor's ring.

Smart Question 00310:

How does assessment scoring work?

TAP Response 00310:

First thing to know about web position assessment scoring is one's score is quite dynamic in practice. Meaning everyone is continuously assessed. Because minds both progress and regress - as well as stay the same. We all age, mature, develop and most often decline at some point in life. We often lose our edge and our motivation to continuous learn and evolve. So TAP must deal with this reality of life. Assessment comes from all three directions: inward, outward and lateral connections - those six (6) TAPPERS 'you' have the greatest interactions with. They know your TAP Ed understanding better than anyone else in the world. There's lots of particulars to deal with in the TAP Ed system:
- New smart questions proposed
- Responses proposed
- New cases proposed
- New list items proposed
- New morphs (of all the above) proposed
  - And different formats of each: text, graphic, GIF, video, etc.
How much 'you' directly engages with 'your' real intelligence vs. how much 'you' allow your avatar to respond is a huge factor in your web score. Then it's 'your' contribution suggestions and recommendations that factor in. Some people really understand TAP and some don't really get it.

Smart Question 00314:

Can the TAP web structure be used by any type of group?

TAP Response 00314:

Absolutely! It can help any type of group improve its internal communication - as well as provide an improved governance structure. And if a Co-TAP, with financial interest - then the TAP web can provide a great solution for compensation too.

Smart Question 00315:

How does the Co-TAP web compensation solution work?

TAP Response 00315:

Consider each concentric ring of the TAP Web structure as a compensation tier - with the innermost person netting the highest compensation wage and the outermost ring group members getting a lower wage. This solution, all based on all individual's understanding of what the group does for the world.
The solution simply requires all ring percentages to sum to 100%. And members of a particular ring equally divide up the specified %.
The TAP innovation is how the whole group arrives at these ring percentages - using the TAP group voice approach.
The solution is to begin at the center of the web and then work outward.
- So first an average % is calculated from all group members, for this one position. Whoever holds the role gets this % of available member compensation funds for the cycle period.
- Then thought shifts to the next ring and the up to 3 people who are positioned here. What % will they equally divide up?
- So forth and so on - until the last ring remains. It gets any remaining % to divide up.
The cool thing is the whole solution is always editable by any group member at any time. So the solution can always adapt to changes in group membership numbers.
And this solution has almost nothing to do with who presently exists in each ring. This is handled by a totally separated and fair solution.
So every group member has equal say in what exactly the group's compensation solution is. And because any member can move to a different location at any time in keeps everyone more honest. Plus everyone can look at each others input data - keeping everyone even more honest.

Smart Question 00316:

What would the ring percentages be for a Co-TAP group of 100 - if everyone were to be equally compensated?

TAP Response 00316:

First, there would be four (4) rings in their particular web.
The ring member count numbers would be:
- R0 = 1
- R1 = 3
- R2 = 9
- R3 = 27
- R4 = 60
And the ring compensation numbers would be exactly the same.

Smart Question 00317:

What would the ring percentages be for a Co-TAP group of 100 - if mentors made 5% more than protégés?

TAP Response 00317:

The ring percentages would be:
- R0 = 1.18...%
- R1 = 3.37...%
- R2 = 9.64...%
- R3 = 27.53...%
- R4 = 58.27...%

Smart Question 00318:

What would the ring percentages be for a Co-TAP group of 100 - if mentors made 50% more than protégés?

TAP Response 00318:

The ring percentages would be:
- R0 = 3.72...%
- R1 = 7.45...%
- R2 = 14.90...%
- R3 = 29.79...%
- R4 = 44.14...%

Smart Question 00319:

What would the ring percentages be for a Co-TAP group of 100 - if mentors made twice what their protégés made?

TAP Response 00319:

The ring percentages would be:
- R0 = 8.42...%
- R1 = 12.63...%
- R2 = 18.95...%
- R3 = 28.42...%
- R4 = 31.58...%

Smart Question 00320:

What if a group member specifies something counterproductive or even bad?

TAP Response 00320:

First, you have to transport your mind to a world that has far less haters - because the TAP world just has way less problems and most people are much happier with the TAP world. So no need to be thinking about the worst-case scenarios too much with regard to this TAP Web stuff. What any group can do is adopt bylaws and impose logical limitations to these mostly automated processes. For example, 'your' group can easily adopt the rule that compensation of mentors can NEVER be less than protégés. Equal is possible but nothing less. So the independent minded group member can't even enter a number that will break this rule. All this type of stuff is easily possible in the software engine of the TAP tools.
