The Goal

As originally seen...

To fullfil one's obligation to divulge & document
To find what on earth the others are up to
To be able to use short term or distant help
To make the self-managing team
To extrapolate the microscopic to macroscopic
To make a self-managing world
To capture the structure of everything and analyse the whole mess

Douglas Englebart had in fact put it better: the augmentation of human intellect.
