It is the transformation of the techno-industrial civilization to one living in harmony with the planet (i.e., Gaia harmony).
- What is the motivation for mass socio-cultural transformation?
Survival of the planet, its atmosphere and all living beings.
- Why? What are the symptoms, the need for such transformation in a given society?
One does not need “big brother” or spy satellites to see a need for transformation, when the world is in trouble. The symptoms are axiomatic; they are, basically, overpopulation, overpollution and destruction of the resources needed by the world to survive.
The solution lies, not in economic sanctions. nor in military might, but in cultural therapy of a given society (or of a whole civilization). In other words, when one determines that a society is sick, and when that society is no longer in denial, then there is a potential for it to be healed.
- What is cultural therapy?
Cultural therapy is not a formula but the result of unique creative applications for any given community. Cultural therapy needs artists of all types.
- How is cultural therapy done?
All the known expertise in cultural facilitating and counseling may be applied, but that only brings one to the front door (of a community to be healed). To get in the door, to apply solutions and to be successful, something else is needed. So, at the core of cultural therapy is a set of creativity tools known as the Qualitative Information System (QUIS).
It is a set of tools, to be used by artists and social leaders (i.e., “seed persons” in society) to bring about unique, creative solutions to a given community, causing that community to make leaps of mass consciousness, into a lifestyle of Gaia harmony. Therefore, we are able to identify the output or “product” of this information system, which is mass socio-cultural transformation (a.k.a. cultural healing).
- Is QUIS a computer system?
Initially, QUIS is a set of software tools and a knowledge database, but it doesn’t need the computer to work. We anticipate that the consciousness of humanity will evolve beyond the need for computers and databases, and in that case, the tools will still be applicable in an advanced form.
After all the facilitating and counseling expertise has been applied, one learns to become a “seed person” in civilization by use of synchronicity techniques (not formulas). Like a music composer or a painter or poet, one learns to compose a story of that community, a nonlinear drama that reaches out to members of the community, triggering leaps of consciousness in the core beliefs of individuals, as well as society as a whole.
- This is a qualitative process such that one learns the art of depth composition (more on this subject to come).
- It is also an information system, meaning that it is a practical process and will succeed.
It suggests the “four directions” in Latin terms; the what - wherefore and why - how relationships, in other words, the ascendant - descendant and midheaven - nadir planes of astrology. This denotes something of the architecture of QUIS (and we hope the explanation helps).
- How can QUIS be implemented world wide?
This a problem the author has wrestled with for years. Although the group consciousness of corporate teamwork has empowered him, in his experience, present-day corporations are not the answer, because there is no business case for socio-cultural transformation. Although cultural healing might not be profitable, there’s light at the end of the tunnel:
- A solution might be found in the form of a large-scale humanitarian grant, for a regional implementation.
- Following that, venture capital might be gained, anticipating profit in the selling of data from the knowledge database to conventional systems.
In that case, a large corporate contractor with telecommunication and analytic horsepower, but with no focus of its own, might be candidate for global implementation. In doing so, the corporate culture would need to be transformed, as well as society.
- What is the goal of this web page?
The author can't promise anything, but his hope is to put a running, freeware version of an application on this site.

The three applications are the result of the author’s quest for a better theoretical system to use, as a basis for producing nonlinear art (i.e., musical, dramatic and literary composition). In a flash, while meditating in York Minister Cathedral in 1997, he saw these tools as applicable to socio-cultural transformation on a world wide basis:
- Pythagoron (Copyright © James Semark 2006) a computerized number board that utilizes an “esoteric” interpretation of the Pythagorean theorem. Rather than by “getting it right,” one learns, by synchronicity, to develop nonlinear creative “works” that vibrate with the collective consciousness of society. Note: a training manual titled The Stanzas of Abu Nibu has been written. The idea is, technology developing so rapidly, that it takes a monk named “Abu Nibu” living in a cave, to explain how to navigate Pythagoron and what it is all about.
- Talea Pattern (Copyright © James Semark 2006) a computer application that produces a gentle, harmonic strategy for cultural healing. Can be used as a stand-alone tool or as a plug-in to Pythagoron. Musicological disclaimer: although inspired by the 14 th century French composer Machaut, use of the Talea concept bears little or no resemblance to his.
- Holistic meta-model. This is an advanced data modeling design technique describing the access methods by which a global knowledge database would communicate with workers (“seed persons”) using the Pythagoron applicaton in the field.
