<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Just a word to say that I strongly disagree to say that the concept of<br>
holoptism may describe what we are seeking and trying to do here (P2P<br>
foundation).<br>
<br>
I think that the concept of "Anopticism" may describe it better.<br>
<br>
If it seems quite paradoxical to name the project of making the<br>
collective intelligence visible : "Anopticism" [from the Greek "a"<br>
(without) and "optiké" (vision)], it’s certainly because it needs some<br>
explanations ...<br>
<br>
Of course, the anopticon is the opposite of the "panopticon". In a<br>
certain manner, the concept of "Anopticism" also differs from the<br>
concept of "holopticism" [from the Greek "holos" (whole)], which<br>
"consists of a physical or virtual space whose architecture is<br>
intentionally designed to give its players the ability to see and<br>
perceive all that occurs there ". If we consider the opposition of the<br>
Greek roots, we could even believe that there is a radical antagonism<br>
between Anoptic and holoptic. It's not quite the case: if Anopticism<br>
and holopticism, "are designed to give to each individual a modeled<br>
representation of space [...] in which he operates", the Anopticism<br>
mourns for the idea that the "totality" of this space is the<br>
"objectivity" of its representation, it insists instead on the<br>
arbitrary and subjectivity of the points of view that govern the<br>
models and on the rules that determine them.<br>
<br>
For the Anopticism, human relationships are not reducible to the<br>
establishment of a cybernetic feedback loop between the group and the<br>
individual: the essential is forever invisible to us. The mourning of<br>
objectivity is made bearable by the fact that everyone is potentially<br>
the author of the points of view and the actor of the implemented<br>
rules and codes. In this way, the Anopticism intends to legitimate a<br>
"digital perspective" which may be applied within social systems.<br>
