Introduction

Vish, the Protagonist, believes that "Human Life is Simple and is the sum of its Actions”. John Galsworthy, in 1867, stated similarly before, “A man is the sum of his actions…”. Expanding on this, Vish made it a tool so it can become an implementation method.

Vish believed that the life’s larger context is the ability to survive and with sustainable human well-being. Vish believed the "larger context" perspective offered human perpetuation. Vish by this belief with conviction and wisdom, was ready and willing to help pave the ideological way for the new age. His New-Age Ideology was based on the Humanology combined with consequential Human Actions (measured with LifeScore) and both applied to the politics, economics, and society for the 22nd century. Thus defined Vish, his New-Age Ideology and Governance.

Vish, with knowledge of human history and wisdom of possibilities, in his book "Life’s Larger Context", reasoned that one can perpetuate the good things in life that transcend across humanity. He offered a formula for a better life here, now, and forever.

Vish defined Human Life as "Sum of Actions for Self and Selfless". He formalized that into a mathematical equation. A quaint, a singular, and a rather simplistic formula.

Life = Sum of Actions [(Self (X) + (Selfless (Y) * Z)) +/- Context score]

Self -> Actions for Self

Selfless -> Actions for others that bind people in a real and metaphysical way (Spiritual)

X, Y -> accepted weights by each society

Z -> multiplier number

+/- Context score -> weighted score to quantify along with a qualification (-ve/+ve) for an action… Hurting is negative (-ve), and Helping is positive (+ve). For harsher measures, use a higher context score and magnitude to be determined by local culture, societies, times, geographies, and wisdom.

The incapable person gets the Child score. Vish says each country can customize this LifeScore formula to suit its own needs for its members. Each society provides its own weights and context scores.

Viswas proclaimed, "In the New-Age Governance, LifeScore, as defined, is a central tenet. Governments used the LifeScore to determine the entitlements or rewards at the individual level." LifeScore entitled everybody to material comforts according to their score. All actions of hard work, or lack thereof, were quantified and rewarded. At first glance, this notion appeared almost Utopian, yet the Core Team remained convinced of its feasibility and offered detailed instructions for its execution.

The thought-persona Viswas, the manifested alter-ego of Vish, was on-hand for continuous observations and commentaries. Viswas was omnipresent and like a spokesperson for Vish. Viswas offers a running commentary on the book “Life’s Larger Context”. Viswas identity goes by any gender since it’s an abstract manifestation of an alter-ego. One who understands this book could converse with Viswas!

Viswas further simplified the LifeScore formula. She explained the formula as that provided a measure or a number or a metric so one could use it to calculate the entitlements or rewards based on the actions that were for self or selfless and if those actions were helping or hurting. This was applicable universally and for the entire humanity.

Viswas said everything a human does or does not is helpful or hurtful to fellow beings. Good or bad, useful, or useless depends on social context and societal perspective. He emphasizes the checks and balances in its implementations.

Viswas further propounded, "Life is a chance happening and is a sum that is greater than its parts. It is a mix of materials with resulting characteristics that separates it from individual constituent materials."

Viswas stated that in a cause-and-effect paradigm of Human existence (a chance occurrence), human actions or no-actions were the causes and consequent results were the effects. There was no destiny and no other meaning to human existence than the consequence of their actions. The acknowledgment of extinction events could explain the NO destiny concept. He reasoned that, if there was destiny or meaning to life, there would have been no extinction events in which life became worthless instantly and if started again it will from scratch. Life comes into and out of existence by chance.

Viswas, the almost spokesperson of Vish, said “There is no design or agenda to life’s existence. Since Humans can conceive, create, and construct why not indulge in it positively? Create, progress, and preserve. But Humans also can be static, retrogressive, and destructive which characteristics they should avoid indulging in very consciously.”

Viswas reminds everyone of Vish's motto– “Be Creative. Be Positive. Be helpful.”

This was the year 2100 AD. There were SIX influencer actors who propagate and implement Vish's New-Age Ideology across the globe. Also, come to be known as The CORE TEAM, the global convention of New-Age Ideology believers from time to time chose this group.

The six influencers Adit, Maria, Lea, Kirl, Grace, and Sparq, constituting the current Core team, took up the mantle to implement Vish’s New-Age Ideology in select countries, what was once called in the 21st century but referred to in this book by those same names for ease of benchmark reference, Norway, New Zealand, Slovenia, Namibia, Uruguay, and UAE. Core Team chose these countries because they are progressive, forward-looking, and small on their respective continents even in the late 21 century.

Mr. Vish is from Nepal, and the Protagonist in absence! He authored the seminal book titled "Life’s Larger Context" in 2050. He had a huge following across the world. We will know more about him by following his staunch supporters of his ideology. Here, let me introduce you to the fabulous “CORE TEAM of SIX”:

Mr. Adit is from Japan. He is an expert in economics, Information Technology including AI and Quantum Computing, a certified pilot for airplane and seaplane and is an avid video gamer and game developer.

Ms. Maria is from Mexico. She is a Political Scientist, an expert in Economics, Governance, and Administration and a Space colonist.

Ms. Lea is from France. She is an archeologist, anthropologist, sociologist and Humanologist, an activist and supports major social reform groups and a geographer and has major credentials in Human geography.

Mr. Kirl is from Russia. He is a Mathematician, Philosopher, and an Artist, has set up many Observatories and Planetariums and created Science centers and Meditation centers for populations in many countries.

Ms. Grace is from Namibia. She is a biologist and has expertise in Life Sciences and has research publications on genetics and is a birdwatcher or birder and an ornithologist.

Ms. Sparq is from Dubai. She is a Nurse, an educationist, a philanthropist and is an Education advisor on many School and College boards.

I have tried to showcase all the six influencers’ journey throughout this book while they implement the New-Age Ideology across the globe. This book also attempts to draw the landscape of politics, economy, and society in the countries like Norway, New Zealand, Slovenia, Namibia, Uruguay, UAE as they implement Vish’s New-Age Ideology.

Chapter 1 - The Core

Scene 1.1 — Progressive Economics—

Adit was reading the last pages of the book "Life's larger context" by Vish while flying in his personal AirLyft. This is a rather small book, he read many times over. He considers this book as a Life Guide, much like a Hindu's Gita, a Buddhist's Dhammapada, a Muslim's Quran, or a Christian's Bible.

Adit was flying from Calgary, Canada to Bigfork, Montana, USA about 820 nautical miles. Adit lives in Calgary, Canada, when he had work in Americas. He likes Calgary since it checks all the relevant boxes for him like the cost of living, the crime rate, skiing locations, most of all progressive society there. Adit moved from Japan to Calgary now almost a decade ago and made it second home. He set out flying from home in Calgary, Canada to Folapr’s log house in Bigfork, Montana and configured the AirLyft on autopilot.

It's around 9am local time. The mountainous terrain is beautiful and very pleasant to look at the expansive landscape - from over 1000 feet above the obstructions. He was off to a remote log house by the Flathead Lake Bigfork in Montana, USA. Flathead and Swan rivers supply clean fresh waters to Flathead Lake year-round. After some four hours, he's on the last hop to the rendezvous with Mr. Folapr, a local trekker.

Adit got a few more minutes to check messages before touching down. There were a couple of unread messages. He was a little annoyed when the holographic messages fluttered a bit when going through rougher terrains. Adit glanced through the messages, using the special glasses embedded with a microchip. The Core group made these glasses available to all its members. These glasses are tied to wearer’s DNA signature and so are highly secure and unusable by any other person. These glasses enable one to view and decipher holographic messages. No one else can view these messages. He swiped across a few more of them before reaching the location.

He landed down on a little plain patch, and there Mr. Folapr was waiting. They made greetings and exchanged pleasantries. They were meeting to hash out a few details of Integrative Transportation before the meeting with Core Team later in the day.

Folapr is a lanky and almost 6' tall male. He is Caucasian with a full head of hair for a 40-year-old. He may be thin, but he looks strong with chiseled muscles. He is not very attractive by looks, some opine, but very likable by nature. Folapr has known Adit for a few years now and is a very trustworthy compadre. Adit himself a 50-year-old Japanese, short, stodgy, and stoic. But his persona shows up as a very knowledgeable man. He had a very honest smile, as his friends say!

Folapr asked, "How was the trip over the rough terrain?"

Adit answered, "It was indeed a little rough with turbulence but OK compared to other locales, especially in Japan!".

Adit just traveled in the region almost 900 miles, meeting a couple of influencers en-route in that tiny AirLyft of his invention. AirLyft is tiny but an amazingly practical and efficient personal transporter in air, on land, or on water. It uses permanent magnets (Lanthanide series of metals) for magnetism instead of electromagnets and efficient solar arrays, that are close to 60% conversion of solar energy to stable energy, to generate and power the engine.

Adit continued, "Nearby small airports would not be conducive to my small airplane fly-in today, so I had to use my AirLyft."

Folapr bemused looking at how Adit folded his personal AirLyft into a motorbike. This vehicle still retains a 2-seater configuration in all its three avatars. He smiled and said, "Do you ever need another mode of transportation? I know you are an IFR and a Jet pilot yourself."

Adit nodded and laughed, acknowledging that it is the most useful vehicle serving him as a three modes transporter. Adit can configure this AirLyft to be a little motorized boat or to be a very functional bike. He made it himself and was very proud of his creation. He calls this vehicle a "TresPorter" referring to three modes of transportation!! The AirLyft can fly at 200miles an hour and can refuel in motion, whether on land, on water or in the air, using various mechanisms that Adit invented. He was still testing some of the technologies and so were not available to the public.

Folapr and Adit drove down on that bike to the Flathead Lake. Once at the lake, Adit converted that motorbike into a motorized kayak-canoe hybrid-like contraption. Adit called it Kanyak! They planned to canoe from Bigfork to the Lakeside location en-route on the west side of the lake and to Polson finally. Folapr has a friend at Lakeside from whom they collected the fishing gear. After collecting some accessories and some food they both went off to Polson in the same Kanyak while fishing enroute in those serene, still waters. They had a rather good fishing time.

It was a beautiful summer’s afternoon at about 3 pm local time with the daylight almost fading as the mountain tops and treetops blocked much of the bright sunlight. They could see fish in those clear waters at early afternoon and it was surreal to be able to peer into the 50 feet or so at bottom of the river and yet see the fish. It was magical and trans-inducing to watch the fish swim and come by into the bait. They both caught some fish from the clear and fresh river waters.

Adit got Kokanee Salmon, and Mountain Whitefish fish while Folapr himself caught Rainbow Trouts and Smallmouth Bass, a locally raved delicacy. Both released all the fish back into the waters. They drank water from the river, which tasted great, and they felt energetic. Both agreed that the serene time they just spent together at this isolated lake was peaceful and felt thrilled about their time together. They discussed happenings around with the great privacy that fishing provides.

Once reaching Polson, they got off to the shore and make the Kanyak into the motorbike again and went a few miles into the Polson reservation to meet with Ksanka Herr, a friend of Adit and Folapr.

The meeting with Ksanka happened at the request of Folapr to discuss some last-minute details about Integrative Transportation. Ksanka from Polson was offering the ins and outs of his new communication methods that integrate with many facets of 22nd-century living. Folapr and Ksanka are both trained communications specialists in electronics and linguistics.

Adit, Folapr, and Ksanka discussed the details of the communications framework under which the new technologies needed to apply to newer and developing cultural paradigms.

Ksanka wirelessly transferred the details of his notes about the next-generation communication styles to both Folapr and Adit's devices called "InfoKit" the device that can be set up to accept wireless transfers remotely, globally, and securely. Folapr and Adit set up the InfoKit so it can send/receive information even without taking that out into plain sight. InfoKit was always on and open to exchanging Communiqué with the Core members of Vish’s New-Age Ideology.

After a couple of hours of meeting with Ksanka, Adit and Folapr went back into the waters at Polson and after returning the gear at Lakeside they went back to Bigfork.

They walked to a very inconspicuous log-house Folapr maintains in the area. They are back into the log-house, which is a small log-house of about 300sqft in total. It's about two miles from Bigfork town. This abode is rather secluded, and few know of its existence.

It’s 7pm local time. They refreshed themselves with hot showers. Folapr was a good cook, and he could make great dishes both vegan and non-veg. Folapr made the dishes in an hour. They ate dinner comprising vegan food for Adit and white meat for Folapr. Both ate their food with red wine that Adit sourced from Scandinavian countries. These exquisite wines are gifts from Kirl, another member of the Core when Adit and Kirl met last year at the same Bigfork location. Kirl brought these wines for Adit from his recent visit to Nordic countries, which now were seeing a surge of wineries because of the climate changes and local people adopting to wineries because of extended summers.

Adit said, "The many forms of vehicles currently in use for human transport, such as Jet Packs, Drones, Hover Boards, Cable Cars, Levitation Autos, were all very exciting. Adit did acknowledge how far the transportation mechanisms evolved into late 21st century. But they were all still limited in their utility by the amount of energy use and the amount of energy refueled in-flight!".

Folapr said, "Yes, as you suggested, the holy grail seems to the Re-Fueling In-Transit without interruption to the travel itself. You have patented yourself a few technologies for those refueling-In-Transit (rFIT) technologies."

Adit said, "Yes… man, it's a very challenging undertaking to see those and other complementary technologies integrated and implemented into real-world transportation that people can actually use every day!"

Folapr then digressed as Transportation is not his area of expertise. Even though he was a highly specialized and skilled person in communication technologies, he rarely understood the world of transportation or the people's attachment to a particular class of vehicles such as Human-driven vehicles, or like himself attached to using the "LeviBoard", a levitation board for a single person.

They are both relaxing after a quick dinner and indulging in gentle banter. Folapr asked, "How is Araho doing these days? ". Araho is Adit's son who had just finished his undergrad college degree and was now on a global backpacking tour along with a few of his high-school and college friends. Folapr knew Araho very well for almost 10 years now. After all, he raised the kid during the boy's middle-school years, that's during Araho's age between 8 and 13 years.

Adit said "Thanks mister for asking! You guys should get together once Araho is back from his tour… Araho keeps mentioning meeting you and spending some time with you. He had not met you since from his middle-school years when he lived with you."

Folapr thought Araho was a dazzling kid who liked music and has deep philosophical thoughts. While most of his friends indulged in fun games and other fun activities, Araho used to contemplate and indulge in deep thinking. When talking, he used to debate as if he was a very mature person. He is also working on a device that helps in providing social cues in human interactions for the user. Araho thinks this device can be of a wearable form, though he is not sure which form it is going to take on yet on its completion. Embedded form implanted into a person was one variation that he liked the best.

Araho was trying his hand at dabbling with music too. He was just 21 years old but already graduated from his college. Adit thought the style of his son's music was rather exotic, but interesting and thought-provoking. He thought it was nothing like classical or modern… it's some mix of space-age-like musical melodic construction. The lyrics were rich in language and ideas. The message in it was clear and crisp, which is mostly interlaced with feelings of anger, change, and people. The message reflects the times of rapid global changes and human values. Adit liked his son's voice and the music style rather secretively. Adit does not want to influence his son's creativity. Adit would rather let the instincts of his son flourish naturally. Araho was going to attend the concert of RawPwr this Fall season at the Grand Hall. RawPwr was a very close acquaintance of Adit.

Adit said to Folapr, "Araho is doing fine. Araho already had a few albums published. Audience received two song numbers badly. But a couple of other songs were a success, on public media, especially for their beats and melodies. I particularly loved one album for its rich and meaningful lyrics mirroring current day affairs."

Folapr said "He had listened to a few of Araho’s songs…" and said "Araho had a touch of class to his lyrics and melody" with some pride and fulfillment having raised Araho in his childhood years.

It's time for the Meeting of The Core team.

Adit set up a "CommBox", a small communication device the size of 5"x4"x1" looking like a piece of glass, to communicate with others remotely in that dimly lit log house. Folapr himself, a Licensed Amateur Radio Operator, helped create the CommBox along with Adit. Adit designed and created the CommBox with very high computing abilities using Optical chips and complete with quantum-safe encryption that was unbreakable and unhackable. This level of security was made possible using Quantum Cryptography.

The topics to be covered in e Core Team meeting were wide-ranging from improvements in transportation, communication, social norms, the economy, governance, healthcare, education, and space colonies. The attendees included Adit himself, Maria, Lea, Kirl, Grace, Sparq, and along with a few of their confidantes.

By now, in early 22nd century, it had become routine to use holographic communication and the protocols of absentee participation where those absentees send recorded messages on public networks that are highly secure.

Scene1.2 — Administration and Politics —

Mr. Amzoni went to LAX Spaceport in outer Los Angeles to receive Ms. Maria. It’s 7 am local time. Maria was returning from space attending a symposium on "Space Colonies and New Age Ideology". The symposium was on a Moon base sunny side that belonged to Namibia. Namibia was the sponsor of the event and Maria provided the hosting help.

She de-embarked from the "SpaceTrans" vehicle, suite-sanitized, de-suited, and emerged out of the gate. This has become routine for space travelers and takes about 10 minutes in 22nd century space travel.

Amzoni and Maria both hugged and kissed. Amzoni summoned SelfDrive auto from the parking lot and directed the auto to go to their home in MoonShine village on the beach about an hour south of LAX Spaceport. The SelfDrive auto costs 1000 NewAgeCoins the most popular of the Cryptocurrencies across the world. Amzoni loves this car for its level 5 autonomous driving with 20th century curves. Amzoni loved classic style and a muscled version at that.

Amzoni said, "Maria, you don't look tired even after that space travel!".

Maria jokingly said, "But hey you look tired after a 1300-mile two-hour travel from Kansas City!"

Amzoni said, "Yeah, I had to circumnavigate the disruptions enroute. Hey, who said traveling was easy on Earth even with Level-5 autonomous driving and autonomous flying?"

They both laughed.

Maria of Mexican origin and Amzoni of Iranian origin married (originally under the old Marriage Law) and have been together since and for about 10 years now. But they moved recently into the New-Age Happy-Choice HappyIn relationship.

They first met at a near-earth orbital station. Maria was presenting about the fast changes that are happening in many countries on earth in the spheres of governance, cultures, and the importance of peaceful co-existence. She was an expert in governance policies both at micro and macro-political levels across many different forms of governments and organizations. Amzoni was a last-minute inclusion in that presentation, filling in for an absentee researcher. Amzoni raised several interesting observations during Maria's presentation. Maria acknowledged that those ideas were very relevant and worth including in the New-Age Governance implementation.

So, she had to meet Amzoni again right after the presentation and discussed many details concerning fair and equitable governance. And then, after six months of a series of exchanges and meetings, they were happily living together! Traditional marriage as a cultural institution was slowly becoming extinct across the globe! Maria and Amzoni recognized that marriage as a traditional institution form was on the way out. Since they got married in old ways, annulled their marriage in favor of a New-Age relationship. This was strictly a consensual relationship termed as HappyIn (as opposed to HappyOut where you agree to separate!). It's described as a happy choice and hence became "HappyChoice", as coined by Vish. HappyChoice is a true, ephemeral or eternal, togetherness as long as the mutual consent lasts! It made sense when you look at those countries which wholeheartedly followed in spirit the Vish's principles of New-Age Tenets for relationships.

Maria quotes Vish, "HappyChoice is living together by mutual consent!".

They knew of severe unrest that was brewing in the mid-west USA to cause drastic impacts on the methods of governance within the current local USA Governments. It's a revolution in its infancy in the USA. Some termed this as a rebellion brewing. This had resulted in disruptions in the everyday lives of the population in the mid-west and spreading rapidly across the vast country outwards to the coasts and to the north and south. The ruled general population was yearning to adopt New-Age Governance. The ruler power clingers were opposing it preferring status quo which was a modern form of feudalism in the disguise of capitalism.

Maria visited two colonies on this trip - one on Selene, the Earth-moon and one on near-earth space colony which was named as Schutzgebiet (means protectorate in German) created by Namibia. Maria in her meetings with various colony agencies stressed the need to move on from prescriptive and top-down governance to participative and bottom-up administration. She stressed that newer feedback-loop technologies made it feasible to go participative. She sensed the governments of the colonies were like the early 20th century style imitation of governance deep-rooted in personality cults, gender stereotypes, and still following Aristotelian City-State politics with rule by the politeia or by a constitutional government if not by Aristocracy or elites.

While earth-based political systems are largely Nation-State styled in 21st century governments with a few exceptions - the handful of small countries followed and implemented Inter-State systems from Vish's New-Age Governance theories. Maria believes, the selfish regimes which inherently harm humanity needed to be checked and prevented and drawn towards a more participative and inclusive new age Inter-State political system. Vish proposed this in his white paper "Dawn of New Age Governance" and offered insights and implementation details. Maria just finished again reading the book "Life's larger context" by Vish. Maria pours over the fact of how Vish propounded fair governance for humanity at large that was practical, fair, progressive, and based on the preservation of life's dignity and respect in all its forms.

Maria was convinced that the age of the political concepts of 20th century Aristotelian City-state or 21st-century Nation-state is over. She thinks the fresh and newer approach should be Inter-state politics with local and inward governance implementing inward administration. The administrators or representatives were chosen by their local councils and communities based on the combination of knowledge, accomplishments, virtues, skills, and LifeScores. Everybody who takes part in governance league and ordinary citizens would know what this administrator stands for. The 22nd century advances in technologies made possible this wide participation by the councils, communities, and all citizens at large at the local field level.

Vish propounded the New-Age polity and administration. In this scenario, the budgets are auto-allocated by the needs on the ground and there is no human decision-making in terms of allocation and application of the budgets… which was completely automated and incorporated the feedback-loop mechanism where citizens, communities and councils took part interactively and instantly. This allowed for the changes to be applied to the budgets the even at last minute. They elected the political leaders were there only to represent the country internationally and only to make decisions that impact at global levels, all the while taking country specific interests into account. The leaders represented their countries while making humane agreements and transparent deals.

Maria was on Governing Boards and several specific advisory boards of all the countries that introduced Fair Governance using Vish's theories from his book "Life's Larger Context". She was extremely well known around the world, among both common people and political leaders and establishments alike.

Maria had post-doctoral research in Political Science. Maria intently studied New-Age Ideology and political systems. She followed Vish's principles that stressed the delineation of administration from the politics. This was the same dichotomy of politics and administration, as USA President Woodrow Wilson first proposed. The local governance was for the administration within the country and the international governance was for the leaders to collaborate globally. They were distinct.

The Countries that followed Vish's Inter-State political system ensured every citizen a guaranteed subsistence (material passes) and fair entitlements (material rewards). This is because the new State takes care of its citizens' subsistence in its entirety. It not only guarantees the basic minimum needs (CHEFS*) of every human being but also provides for various mechanisms to incentivize individual achievements and accomplishments. Everybody unto themselves for reaping rewards all the while helping and not hurting others. The accomplishments and accumulations had become strictly personal and attached to that person! Maria introduced the acronym CHEFS to be used with ease for the subsistence components.

*CHEFS: An acronym for Clothing, Healthcare, Education, Food and Shelter (Security/Safety).

Maria emphasizes that this New-Age Governance was one of the many ideas of Vish that had been widely adopted globally today! Man was no more a political animal but a conscientious and caring animal!

Maria states, “The evolution of the State needed the fifth iteration as defined by Vish - the Inter-State Theory. the differences among people were removed. The evolution of governance allowed movement from the Force Theory to Evolutionary Theory to Divine Right Theory to Social Contract Theory to the fifth Inter-State theory. The people were not the subjects of the ruled. The ruled (civilians) was indistinguishable from the rulers (leaders).”

The international collaboration was for the common good of people everywhere as in for entire humanity, not just for the people from the individual transacting countries. Meaning no actions were undertaken that harmed human beings anywhere. Vish stated, "Population was not distinguished as Ruler or Ruled." Just as Thomas Hobbes' "concentrated all wills into one", the New-Age idiom of 22nd century was made dispensable by making "one’s will for all". The New-Age agenda was to implement a policy framework to prescribe a common minimum agenda (CMA). CMA was to guarantee the subsistence of citizens and to encourage actions for selfless. Politics in the traditional sense was not in the play when it applied to CMA implementations. New Age Polity had bifurcated the traditional politics into local administration and international politics. Politics was being relegated to or rather focused on the international arena with leaders from the respective countries to hash out agendas for international comity and issues.

Maria notes that Vish's "Human Obligations", defined as "Actions for self and selflessness", was the mantra for her when working for New-Age governance.

Maria helped to usher in the new political dawn in those small countries represented from all the continents.

Maria replied, "You know space travel even up to earth-moon Selene had become so easy and it was no harsher than travel of 8000 miles or non-stop flights among many other earth destinations!".

Amzoni mentioned proudly that the checks and balances that Maria instituted in implementing the Fair Governance had been the cornerstones of the real-life building of the New-Age alternative governance styles. He mentioned that the landscape of politics in the countries, like Norway, New Zealand, Slovenia, Namibia, Uruguay, and Dubai (UAE), changed entirely by embracing Vish's new-age political and social systems.

Maria said, "The framework and principles set up by Vish for Fair Governance allowed much of my work to be applied in practice and that too equitably." She noted, "more importantly, it's not like Utopia of Thomas More from 15th century, but a very practical and implementable tenets in all countries, cultures, and peoples wherever they live. This was the dawn of New-Age."

She noted, "The new Governance now was impervious to corruption and many such evils that plagued nations and societies leading up to 22nd century."

Amzoni agreed conditionally and said "Yes, but only in the smaller countries that embraced Vish's New-Age Ideology on Fair Governance."

They quarrel like children when they don't agree with each other, which is mostly about minor details.

Maria and Amzoni retired to their home on the beach side for some private time. The next morning, Amzoni made scrambled eggs and served a bacon-cheese sandwich for Maria and grilled avocado-potato mix for himself.

Amzoni does not like Maria to continue to be a non-vegetarian. He cared a lot about the ecology and the importance of all living species. While Maria very much liked to stay away from non-vegetarian food by savoring more and more lab-grown plant-based non-vegetarian substitute dishes specially prepared on space colonies. These non-veg dishes were lab-grown and not directly from animal meat.

He also opened the gentle-looking multi-colored and constantly but gently churning drink for both. This drink called “MoonColada” is the favorite for Amzoni and so Maria brought that from her recent space colony visit. This drink can be made only in near zero-gravity conditions. It cost Maria 10 NewAgeCoins. A precious drink! Amzoni thanked Maria for the delicious drink. This drink, he liked the best.

Now, after the brunch, they went back to the reading room overlooking a nice lake and a beautiful open landscape. Maria recalled the problems that space colonies were facing because of their own older ideologies and changing governance on earth governments. She said the space colony inhabitants appreciated her ideas about new governance and new cultural shifts drawing from Vish's thoughts. She gave them a few digital copies of the Book "Life's Larger Context" by Vish.

It's time for the Meeting of The Core.

Maria and Amzoni went to another room to participate in the meeting of The Core. Maria pulled out the gadgetry to hum into the meeting. They both wore the glasses used by the Core team members and their closest confidantes.

Scene 1.3 — Work and Fairness —

Grace was keenly looking at the little boy John playing with other kids in Modenso Park. Anatomically, John's body above the waist is just perfect, but from below the waist, he had severe underdevelopment of the body because of some strange and horrific disease contracted during his infant years. The cause of that disease was yet unknown to humankind and had no cure found yet.

She observed John was excited and was clapping and giggling at the acts of other children playing in the park. Other kids were also very accepting of the fact of John's immobility. They would occasionally come to him and pass the ball closely and play with him in turns. He can't go out and play in the field because he was chair bound. Jen thanked the kids for their empathy and inclusiveness.

Jennifer Crowley, John’s mother, was called as Jen. Jen looked at Grace and said, "Kids were thrilled to play when they had parents present around the corner of their eyes."

Grace nodded in agreement. Grace asked, "How is Jack doing? I know he is on a business trip to New York City." Jack Bowery is Jennifer’s husband.

Jen answered, "Jack is doing great and is coming back to Bloemfontein this weekend and bringing the latest toys on the market for John from New York City."

After about an hour of chit-chatting with Jen and the other parents, Grace said goodbyes to Jen and John and other parents and children.

Grace left the playground to the Coffee House across the street on Rhyn Avenue to meet with Dr. YoloMunk. Young doctor YoloMunk liked this coffee house, as it offers the finest coffee sourced from across Africa. She had been here a couple of times before. She would fly down from Washington, DC to Bloemfontein, another Capital city of South Africa, to meet with Dr. Grace. YoloMunk was already at the Coffee place waiting for Grace.

Dr. Grace thought, Dr. YoloMunk was a 25-year-old young lady with lots of wisdom and promise! She was from Sri Lanka the beautiful South-Asian Island nation. She was a licensed medical doctor in the USA and currently doing a fellowship in Medical Genetics in Washington, DC, USA. Ms. YoloMunk was visiting Cape Town the capital city of South Africa, to attend a medical conference organized by International Conference on Medical and Biosciences (ICMBS), Cape Town, South Africa, on advanced case studies regarding the space voyagers’ health. This study was primarily focused on Genetics and long-term effects of space radiation on human body. YoloMunk was presenting her findings on the subject. She commanded the rapt attention of fellow researchers on wide-ranging medical topics such as Genetics, Neurology and Humanology.

After winding up at the conference, YoloMunk taxied straight to Cape Town International Airport (CPT) to catch a fight to Bloemfontein, a capital city in South Africa to meet with Grace. Dr. YoloMunk planned to meet with Grace well in advance. She knew this visit particularly had greater significance, for she was going to meet up with Grace and discuss some ground-breaking case study on terminal diseases induced by genetic disorders.

Grace thought “Dr. YoloMunk is so young and so smart and so powerful! YoloMunk is the daughter she never had but always wanted.”

Grace knew that the young doctor was friends with a young man and thought she should bring up the topic just to know how the relationship was going… she only knew too well how vulnerable people were in relationships. Grace propounded the theory that people built relationships not just on trust alone, but also on mutual respect. The relationship was a mixed bag of economic and social well-being aspects with added social necessities such as respect, trust, dependability, and safety. This theory had garnered wide interest and there was an international acceptance of building universal methods for defining and measuring relationships using this metrics that Grace proposed. Grace borrowed and built much of her own theories on relationships from Vish's book "Life's Larger Context".

Grace was a 52-year-old Namibian woman who was scholarly and had formal and advanced learning in Life Sciences and Genetics. She was married at age 21 to a South Asian Indian Telugu speaking man, Chandi Das whom she met during her master’s college years at the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. They had three children, all girls and all out of 12 years of education. The marriage lasted for 20 years, and they divorced consensually and amicably. Chandi Das had daughters’ custody with Grace retaining visitation rights. Since Das was a local college professor, he took the girls so he can focus on their further education or careers while Grace laser focused on New-Age implementations. She was single for the last 10 or so years. She had authored well-accepted scientific papers on human species preservation, climatic changes, and non-earth existence. She had groundbreaking discoveries in all these areas. Das and daughters were very proud of Grace and her accomplishments.

At the Coffee place, Grace ordered orange juice and YoloMunk an Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Coffee. Grace requested in-place ground coffee the one YoloMunk likes the most for its purity, fragrance, and fresh flavor. Over the late afternoon beverage, they spent a decent amount of time chatting over various topics… including genetic mutations, gene therapy, extinction of large numbers of species, depletion of natural resources such as water and other vital elements such as oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus.

They didn't notice that a few hours passed by already! Grace explained to Dr. YoloMunk about her recent excursion, a year ago, with her hobby of Bird-watching.

That was with Adit, another Core member, and about the study of birds while flying alongside them in midair. This airplane that Adit and Grace flying in had lots of interesting tools such as drones sitting on the wings deployed autonomously all through the flight. As with main craft, these drones will generate energy independently and continuously. These drones while perching on the wings charge the plane’s batteries as well… a brilliant in-flight re-fueling method developed and patented by Adit.

The drones would go off from the plane make their own formation flight with birds, take videos and pictures up-close and would come back and perch on plane wings. These could be flown manually, and Grace operated those a few times during the entire study flight across 5 days. Adit made entirely by himself the airplane and the drones in his garage at Calgary, Canada.

They were flying along the 100th meridian boundary is USA that passes through North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas - America’s breadbasket. Adit maintained VFR flight procedures all along that approximately 2000-mile stretch over 5 days.

They stopped all along the route to refuel and rest. Grace could take lots of pictures, videos, with her own camera and with drones. She also took copious notes on the birds she was able to watch so closely. Grace could record the birds’ behavior while she was maintaining eye contact with them mid-flight! Grace was watching and noting the Birds-in-Flight with Adit piloting in a four-seater single-electric-engine land airplane. Adit landed on grass and plain fields for close encounters with interesting animals on the ground too.

Grace's hobby was studying how geography shapes the routes of migratory birds. YoloMunk could easily see how excited Grace was while explaining the mid-light bird watching and bird studying experiences. Grace said, "She came to know that there were more migratory birds that pass through the eastern U.S. than through the western U.S. The migrant bird flocks at places like Duluth, Minnesota, or Cape May, New Jersey, are not matched from anywhere in the West both in terms of numbers and species."

YoloMunk playfully interjected saying that the 100th meridian line goes from pole to pole and can be traced from Manitoba to Mexico in the Americas. She was showing off her own geographical knowledge! YoloMunk feels very happy whenever she meets with Grace. Grace's presence and the company give her comfort and a sense of belongingness a sort of a close family member.

Once finishing up on the beverages they both went into Grace's place about a kilometer away by foot. It’s as rather small looking apartment from outside. They both relaxed into the couches and YoloMunk had the throw on her even though it was like 40 degrees centigrade. Flipping through the pages of The Book, they noted how the world was changing so fast around them. They both discussed a chapter from The Book "Life's Larger Context" by Vish that was about the importance of peacefulness in a person's life. That chapter teaches how to be calm and patient amidst the daily chaos. It teaches how to attain peace with oneself by taking in everything that is going on around you calmly. A smile and sometimes a non-reaction would work wonders. It tells that life may be everything from peace to fighting to wishing ill on others, but one should strive to attain peace for the most of life by wishing the best for others, choosing serenity and peace.

Grace and YoloMunk agreed with Vish's idea of Human life defined as a "Sum of Actions for Self and Selfless". They both knew humans are humans and they would do whatever benefits them and that includes selfish and hurtful actions. They agreed, inspite of the human selfishness, LifeScore formula , when and wherever implemented, would make humans actively work for increasing the scores because that benefited them.

Dr. YoloMunk asked, "How is John responding to the experimental medication to improve mobility in his lower body". She was also officially studying John's case. The young doctor had invested a lot in gene therapy for this boy. Dr. YoloMunk has exchanged copious notes about the case with Dr. Grace. She had presented this case to her superiors at the university in USA and had come up with some ideas. Dr. YoloMunk took the latest reports of John's test results as provided by Grace.

Grace said "Not so great honey, sorry to say. John is now on the second level of drug administration."

"We don't know yet if administration methods matter. We noticed problems with this drug that was meant to introduce genetically modified single-cell organisms to react with the target cells in the lower body. They were not hitting their targets. The only good thing so far was there were no side effects. Disappointed that the target approach was not working and we lost a couple of months."

Grace was telling YoloMunk, "But now we are confident that the newest approach as you suggested will be far better as it introduces newly coded genetically modified cells."

To that YoloMunk acknowledged saying, "We used better genetic algorithms with more powerful computers. Hopefully, it shows better results within the next few weeks. These methods did work 100% on mice favorably and other animal test subjects as well."

YoloMunk said "Yes I hope this time the drugs work! Third time the charm!"

YoloMunk was satisfied fully with her meeting with Grace. Grace then retired to her routine for the night in the apartment and started out reading out loud the book "Life's Larger Context" by Vish again from a random chapter as she usually does. Grace thought about the singular influence the book exerted on societies globally and on humanity in general. She mused the impacts of the rapid changes happening currently in the lives of the global population because of this book. A complete socio-cultural paradigm shift had happened especially in smaller countries across the world. Population in bigger countries was only eager to follow.

While Grace retired and took a break, YoloMunk went into her own room that Grace allocated for her. YoloMunk read a few of the research topics and updated her notes on John Crowley Bowery.

They both got together again, after two hours or so and after some well-deserved rest, as it was time to meet up with the Core team. They both got up and walked into the laboratory through a passageway from her apartment. It's not a huge lab but has powerful scientific equipment. Grace equipped the lab with microscopes and other advanced machinery. Some machines monitor the changes in DNA to the medication. Some machines affect changes to the DNA strands, much like CRISPER and newer such tools. Grace was researching how to take out the inferior qualities, of the DNA and RNA segments, that were brought on by the evolution since the caveman [Neanderthals] times.

It's time for the Meeting of The Core.

Grace, with her couple of assistants and with YoloMunk, found a rather secluded place to take part in the meeting of The Core. They pulled out the gadgetry to hum into the meeting. All of them wore the glasses to read the secure messages transmitted during the meeting.

Scene 1.4 — Social, Cultural, and Ethical Framework —

Dr. Lea treated her bruise and a centimeter sized cut with a tiny machine called UltrEx which looked much like a Star-Trek Tricorder almost the same size and very handy. Lin accompanied Lea to trail adventures. Lin helped to dress the wounds Lea suffered. Lin could cleanse, sew, and close the cut wound using that device. Lea applied infrared radiation to her now-closed wound. Lea also performed on herself an ultrasound discovery run with UltrEx on her bruise and cut with the same machine just to make sure the wound is not deep nor inflammation serious. UltrEx would also let the user browse the human body's many health readings with holographic displays. She was feeling better now in under 5 minutes with the bruise and the cut treated fully to stop the infection and to start quick healing. Lea then continued with her biking along with Lin. After finishing the trip they planned to go to the hotel where there was a meeting arranged with local activists.

Lea and Lin were spotted together in all their wildlife activities such hiking, trekking, biking, and rock climbing. They are both very fit physically and mentally to undertake such grueling and intense activities. Both Lea and Lin were nonbinary. Lin is a 35-year-old adventurer and originally from Guangzhou, China and now living in France for the last 23 years. Lea and Lin were making plans to get into HappyIn relationship which provides for the legal family status. They had plans to adopt six kids three boys and three girls. The kids were to be one from each continent.

Lea was returning from a 20-mile mountain biking on a single-track balcony trail in the famous vertical world of the Anniviers valley situated in Saint-Luc, Switzerland. This was a bikers’ paradise with adrenalin gushing around narrow paths and deep valleys covered with thin snow even in summers.

She was joining others at the Hôtel Weisshorn in the area. The bike was a plain-looking bi-cycle but powered by a Hydrogen fuel cell and adopted with self-balancing technology much like a Segway does and Lea likes that bike very much. Lea leapt out of the bike which just stood vertical and fully balanced, no bike stand was needed!

Lea and Lin went to the hotel to meet with some locals who were gathered with the help of Mr. Alpean. Alpean was at the bike stand waiting for Lea. He was a middle-aged man with a well-built body. They discussed the new venture that Alpean was working on in that area. It’s a training institute for balcony trails and skiing. Alpean, with a wink in the eye, said he got the services covered for summer and winter seasons keeping him busy year long.

Alpean and a group of youngsters were working on a project that surveyed and recorded the basic human instincts during human interactions, specifically those actions which prolonged the togetherness between the participants.

Alpean’s methodology was focused mostly on Humanology, in which Lea was an expert. Alpean had captured extremely well the essence of human feedback mechanisms in social interactions. This was very relevant today in the 22nd century as humanity was living in much of isolation and not enjoying togetherness at all. The recordings were meant to show the experiences of people about their levels of willingness to be at their best, present their intentions and offer positive and lasting experiences to each other.

The survey considered both personal and remote human interactions. These experiences were designed to provide metrics about the aspects of serenity and inner peace as the direct result of human interactions whether personal or remote. In this 22nd century times there was no stigma in living entire lives remotely and with out personal interactions after the first 12-year education. For many, this survey study seemed ironic since people today in 22nd-century don't cherish personal interactions nor they look forward to such encounters. Alpean joked that people avoided personal encounters with each other as if they were in some pandemic times.

Lea asked Alpean "How are you and your friends?"

Alpean replied, "You mean LENA ????" Alpean likes them so much as a team that he gave the team an acronym to mean its members Liam, Emma, Noah, and Ava.

"I am fine and never better! They are fine too and waiting to meet up with you in the evening at the hotel conference room."

Lea, Lin and Alpean walked from the bike parking area into the hotel and into the conference room where all others were waiting.

Alpean continued, "Liam and Emma got married "HappyIn" way, the new Vish's New-Age Ideology way of legally living together in a partner relationship. They are planning to move to Tibet and have children there. Noah and Ava, along with their friends, have joined masters’ program in Sociology and Humanology in an university in Switzerland".

Lea asked, "How is your project going? ". Lea knew Alpean talked a lot. He was a garrulous talker.

Alpean said, "It's going great and I'm almost finishing it up! The team is still in high spirits even after so much of hardships they had to endure during the Survey." Alpean mentioned satellite internet, which helped connect with the global population seamlessly. Internet was provided by space satellites and further boosted by ground-based 6G cellular services.

He asked Lea, "Lea, you are onto something yourself, right? with your discovery of new behavioral adjustments in human interactions aimed at the endurance of longer times spent with each other?"

He was expecting no answer from Lea. He knew Lea tended to be reticent and very absentminded from the comments flowing around in the discussions. She was not a great debater.

Lea had already moved on to check out a few of the Survey models Alpean was working on.

Alpean and his team had surveyed almost one million respondents both online and in first-person interviews. It was a huge undertaking and population samples from literally every country including the New-Age countries. The remote survey was completed, and the field survey portion was nearing completion. They were wrapping up the survey part having already surveyed close to the targeted one million population. Alpean with the help of Lea and Grace created a few models using which some conclusions were derived. These models are being closely scrutinized and these were up for analysis with Lea and Core Team this evening.

Alpean was very confident that his team was on a groundbreaking discovery about human interactions in this age. Alpean was very thankful to Lea, Grace, and some other key players including local university humanities professors.

Lea is 38 years old from France and originally from Chamonix a beautiful small town near the border of Switzerland but since she moved into Paris and spends the most time there in the big city. From her vast personal research experience in the areas of Archaeology, Anthropology, and Sociology, Lea was able to profoundly influence many societies across the globe about how to live their lives peacefully and yet co-exist amidst change, conflict, and chaos. Lea had accounted for almost every detail of leading a blissful life among participating societies on earth and moon and on the immediate colonies in space.

Lea studied many religions and belief systems from across the continents. She hypothesized that a belief system whether with an omnipotent God or not was in fact some form of a religion. So, she did not care too much about discussions centered on God. Just as Vish propounded, Lea thought belief systems ought to change and adjust when they stop being beneficial to humanity or when those beliefs stop making sense for the population in the current context.

There were some groups and societies that accepted the New-Age Culture as was proposed by Vish in his book “Life’s Larger Context”. Lea explained to the group that the Book's relevance to the current day societies particularly and all humanity in general, was immediate and compelling. She also maintained that the influence she could exert on societies was derived from Vish's New-Age Ideology. Vish opined that, of the many ways of leading daily lives, physical work had a very crucial and a prominent part. Everyone should be doing some daily physical work like gardening, farming, chores, etc. One should also incorporate this hard work daily with an hour of Yoga, Tai Chi, Qigong, or such practices where stretches and weights are used for the health benefits of the body and mind.

Lea’s team were all influenced by Viswas (a Belief with Conviction and Trust) which was always with those who read the book "Life's larger context" by Vish. These groups in France and surrounding countries were planning on bringing about changes in governance, communities, cultures, and peaceful living in their respective countries.

Being the recognized and world-renowned Human Geographer, Dr. Lea extensively studied the interrelationships between people, place, and environment, and how these relationships vary spatially and temporally (Spatiotemporal) across and between locations and times and among different races globally. The interdependence and the mutual influence of living, their psychology, and the environment they were in, were all central to Lea's "Theory of Social Everything". She drew heavily from Vish's book "Life's Larger Context" and from its’ chapters "Reign of Religion" and "Nuances of Human Geography".

Lea had drawn many of the perspectives and contexts from Vish. In the "Reign of Religion", a chapter from The Book “Life’s Larger Context” by Vish, he described how sociology, culture, economics, and politics were all shaped by the human urge to survive and flourish. “Larger context” meant any context surrounded by social, economic, political consequences with historical perspectives. "All (as many as possible) things considered and applied to derive the proper perspective". Every perspective had its own set of values that influence how a problem or issue was perceived and resolved. When exploration of an issue was completed with many perspectives, a broad and deeper understanding of the issue could be evolved by the person who was doing the research.

Dr. Lea mentioned about the evolutionary course of Social Actions in her "Theory of Social Everything" by threading together various theories from philosophers such as Auguste Comte, Max Weber, Karl Marx, Émile Durkheim, Michel Foucault, Erving Goffman, etc..

It's time for the Meeting of The Core.

Lea, Alpean, and his team went to the meeting room in the Hotel to participate in the meeting of The Core. They pulled out the gadgetry to hum into the meeting. The gadgets help with holographic communications. Lea, Lin, Alpean, and LENA wore special glasses that let them view the images securely. Without these glasses when looking at the holographic message all one sees was just a beam of light not much different from a flashlight beam.

For Lea, the heavy hitter items were maintaining the efficacy of remote communications while applying the context of the New-Age Ideology by Vish. This was important for influencers and the general population alike. The intentions should be transpired unambiguously and could not be misconstrued or misapplied. Lea knew influencers were dealing within the context of humanity's well-being and efficient communications could not be taken easily. Lea with Alpean was going to offer a few solutions at this Core meeting. Lea thought "When people see benefits of interaction, they would fall in line willingly". Lea wanted that the benefits to people were realizable positively while not being detrimental when those benefits were applied within the well-being context.

Lea was looking forward to talking to Kirl in this meeting. Kirl was like a mentor to her. Lea learned so much from Kirl about serene and peaceful living and the ways to perpetuate the methods in the context of New-Age Cultures.

Scene 1.5 — Peace and Serenity —

Tall and burly, this man aged 56 years, was almost 6'5" and you can tell he was easily heavy. He was a well-known mathematician and philosopher from St. Petersburg and identifies himself as belonging to St. Petersburg-Leningrad Mathematical School. His name is Dr. Kirl Unyakovsky. He was very lovable and always seen with his dog a male Siberian Husky he named 'Sibsky'. Kirl brought in that husky when he was just 2 months old and abandoned on the streets during an early morning walk after a conference in Moscow suburbs. This puppy belonged to the breed of Spitz genetic family, a working dog breed, and had Agouti color. He was now a 5-year-old medium-sized dog.

Kirl had two beautiful daughters Seva and Reva from the marriage with Eva. They are identical twins. Both are aged 17 and attending high school. They were worlds apart in every sense except for their looks and Kirl likes them that way. Kirl's wife Eva died in an accident. When that accident happened all the four members of the family were travelling back from a local fair for kids. It was some 10 kilometers away from home on a hill. The path was a winding road with hairpin bends. It was twilight time and about to get dark. Kirl just navigated through two bends down the road. They were still at top of the hill. Just then a car coming up in opposite direction lost control and hit his car on the passenger side. That car fell into the gorge and disappeared in front of Kirl’s eyes. Kirl’s car was smashed on the passenger side. His wife died instantly from the crash. Kirl and girls were very fortunate to escape alive with only a few bruises and cuts. The girls were at kindergarten school at the time studying 2nd grade. Kirl had the help of his mother until the girls graduated from high school.

Kirl was well respected internationally for his various accomplishments including his change agent role in many countries while implementing Fair Governance as pronounced by Vish. Kirl was seeing a woman and it’s going strong for the last 3 years.

Kirl as with most Mathematicians conducts himself awkwardly in social gatherings and he does not love those settings. But the Philosopher in himself was well versed with the debates and easily got into the groove if the group indulged him in the debates. Kirl had impeccable credentials both in Mathematics and Philosophy. He published numerous peer-reviewed research findings and presented them on international fora. He did not love attention so did not invite one. He had refused to accept many awards in the past.

Kirl was visiting London amidst the chaos. He brought Sibsky with him as he didn't want Sibsky to be alone or with strangers for a long duration. Kirl was at a bookstore to give a talk on Mathematics and its relationship to Philosophy. He did not forget to mention the book "Life's larger context" by Vish and urged the gathering to read that seminal book. He also made some free print copies of that book available at the store.

There were vigilantes fighting corruption, and other social ills in London and other prominent cities. Politicians feeling threatened by the rebellious population. It was very palpable in the London Society. There is a huge outcry about the degenerate state of the governance and people were demanding the politicians to exit the government. They want Fair Governance to take over in the UK. This unrest was in part kindled by the book that Vish published. The rebellious nature of population and wanting a radical change in the governance was the direct result of following the guidelines as proposed by Vish in his book "Life's Larger Context". Kirl stated that Viswas was all along in the minds of people wanting the change.

Kirl had a meeting with a few folks who were supporting the influencers and vigilantes wanting to overthrow the corrupt government. That meeting happened in a public library in central London. They booked the meeting room under the name of the New-Age Artwork.

Kirl spoke gently and softly about the Fair Governance aspects that can be applied to the UK and other West European nations. Sometimes he was barely audible. Kirl was multi-lingual and can speak fluently in Mandarin, Spanish, Hindi, English, Swahili, and his native Russian. While giving lectures and presentations he indulged with various ethnic groups in their local languages. Kirl connected to people instantly even though he was not very talkative. He was honest, brutally at that.

Kirl said to Ms. Reeve, a prominent figure from this group, "You are a very welcome figure in this community!"

Reeve, originally from Spain, said "People are really scared to express openly against current governments and its political leaders. But I get it, they love me and my other friends who are in this with me!! Thanks to the ideologies of Vish! We are loved even though many of us don't belong here or from this country!!"

Reeve said, "Vish's ideas and thoughts are very relevant to this society and that people should read his Book very intently."

Mr. Krishna an Indian-origin researcher said the governance in Greater UK reeked of corruption and had wrong priorities for people's well-being. The well-being of the population was not on the top of the list of current budgetary allocations. Reeve and Krishna both 24 years old are Ph.D. students from Oxford University researching politics-administration dichotomy. They loved the ideas of Vish about Fair Governance from his book "Life's Larger Context".

This group and other such groups across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland want similar changes in their governments as was achieved in Norway. They knew that Kirl and other Vish's Core group members were key change agents in Norway's transformative change. Kirl was instrumental in working out various mechanisms that were applied locally in Norway.

Kirl chose scientific temper as the medium of educating the masses as proposed by Vish in his book "Life's Larger Context". Vish recognized the needs and inclination of people to a change in various hues of life, be it social, scientific, or abstract. So, he proposed to reach out to people. Kirl thought Vish was a big supporter of the selfless lifestyle, where selfishness took backstage as a way of life. Kirl knew it took courage to put self aside and bring others’ benefit to the front and center.

Kirl set up observatories and planetariums in many cities across erstwhile USSR (Soviet Union) countries. Kirl made sure observatories housed refractor and reflector telescopes. These were mostly meant for the common population to inculcate astronomy education and satiate their astronomy curiosity. Kirl designed these to be operated safely even for kids at all times of the day. For viewing, these facilities had the requisite optical filters to protect the eyes. The facilities provided for filters that can be used for viewing full moon and sun. Without using these filters viewers could damage their eyes seriously or even could go blind permanently. As with no one size fits all, Kirl had several building designs for the Observatories/Planetariums catering to the various needs including the research institutes, educational institutes, and community facilities. These facilities are extremely popular among students and the public of all categories.

Kirl was the key speaker in the symposia and conferences on formal sciences such as Mathematics, Astronomy, and Philosophy. Kirl speaks eloquently and sometimes in didactic tones. But he touched the heartfelt feelings of the attendees as evidenced by the swarms of people looking to speak to him directly after the meetings.

He also created Science Centers in many western and central European nations. These centers had various science pavilions which showcased and demonstrated fundamental realities of nature. They explained creature evolution, extinction, and everything in-between across the millennia.

Kirl particularly loves this Science Center that he helped establish in the capital and largest city Ljubljana from Slovenia. The Science Center was on the banks of the Ljubljanica River and near the stem of the Tromostovje (Triple Bridge) bridge on the South side.

The local government gave about 5 acres of land and provided the utilities and landscaping. The current progressive government generously funded the structures and buildings. Kirl himself designed and created many of the architectures of this planetarium/observatory. He created the science facility for children and for common people in mind. Everyone entering these facilities gets transported instantly to the medium of scientific temper and inquisitive learning. All basic science experiments were covered with live demonstrations that were conducted every day. There were also demonstrations that were dynamically conducted autonomously too, depending on the topics and questions of the visitors. This aspect of the center was immensely popular and many people from across the world visit city of Ljubljana for this Science Center facility alone. And then, of course, they go on with other conducted tours of extremely popular other tourist spots in the city as well.

The Science City structure was built like an Octopus with six arms and two legs. The structure stands on only two legs fashioned as rockers and balances itself dynamically with each of the six arms performing a balancing act in real-time. Each of the six branches houses one of each of the six branches of science representing Formal, Natural, Social, Applied, Technology, and Philosophy. The center or head was an architectural marvel emanating from which was each branch or arm to a length of 100 feet. The hallways were built to acoustic standards, and no lighting was necessary during the daytime. It generated the energy using rooftop high-performing and highly efficient solar panels and wind turbines that were installed all along the arms. The facility operated as energy independent with zero carbon footprint. The central part of the building had an enormous dome on the top floor serving the 5000-seat planetarium. This was the biggest Science center in the world with about 5 million built-up square feet area and marvelous science demonstration stations.

The Science City had a comprehensive library second only to the Library of Congress - Washington D.C., USA. However, it had more diverse formats and platforms than from the one in Washington, D.C. It maintained a huge catalog of items, including books in print, digital, holographic, and AR/VR formats. One could find a English digital version of the book of any language in the world. There were instant translations of the books from any language into any other language.

This library also had a catalog of music from across the world. Kirl loves music and had the inclination to play Carnatic music from South India. He loved the songs that emphasized love and current social issues. Kirl made sure that in this library one could find any music published from around the world, from folklore to tribal to modern-day and to space-age music.

This library was also big on art curation. One can find artworks from different millennia. Kirl with the help of the Core team managed to digitize the entire collections of curations and stored them at different space colonies for future purposes. There was a pavilion of art works by Kirl himself. Kirl had won many awards and accolades for his art and paintings. Kirl especially liked to create 3D sculptures using the metals. The completed sculptures were laser sharp. They looked immersive and obsessive to keep watching.

It's time for the Meeting of The Core.

Kirl and his team including Reeve and Krishna found a room in that Central London Library to participate in the meeting of The Core. They had pulled out the gadgetry to hum into the meeting. The gadgets were tuned automatically and appropriately to the respective privileges of the user.

Scene 1.6 — Planned wellness —

Hey Sparqly… the children in the lobby spotted her and shouted in exhilaration as she entered the hospital.

She was none other than the central figure of that hospital and from the once royalty of UAE Ms. Yasmin Al Nahyan. But she was called Ms. Sparq because she was exuberant and energetic with her patients in that hospital. This name got stuck to her and became known by that nickname globally. Even though she was from royalty, she was officially designated as a nurse at this hospital. Her smile was electrifying, honest, and heartening. She was so very jovial and never a dull person, kids fondly called her just as Sparqly. Children and adults alike adored her. Adults wondered in awe how could a person be so elegant and untiring in human interactions, especially in the role of caring for ill children. She made sure her patients were well cared for medically and personally. She cracked funny jokes, and all patients loved her very much even the grumpy ones. Kids just loved her all the way.

Ms. Sparq was about 40 years old but looked much younger much like in her early 30s. She was working as a part-time nurse in one of the biggest and best hospitals in Dubai, Tyb Alqalb International Hospital. Ms. Sparq donated a huge corpus amount and rumors were it's 51% of the hospital's equity. In her early days with that hospital, Ms. Sparq worked in Cardiology and Emergency Care areas. For the past couple of years, she was in the Children's Care unit with the largest number of beds anywhere in the world exclusively for children. She made sure she was always serving in non-VIP care units. These wards were much sought after by the poorer sections of the population as these units costed much less when they were not free. She wanted to serve where it mattered most. Despite her very busy schedule, she made sure to personally attend to the elderly and children, the vulnerable and weak patients on the days she was on the rounds.

Viswas was always with her in her thoughts and actions. She wholeheartedly accepted the ideas from the book "Life's larger context" by Vish. Reading the book gave her peace of mind and a clear direction into the future that was bright, calm, and devoid of chaos. She thought Vish's ideas were well-grounded and cared for the matters that were closest to human life and its well-being. She thought Vish's ideas provided the basis for the existential, all-pervasive human emotions of suffering that needed to be persevered and persisted into the future. Vish propounded that joy and suffering were cornerstones of human existence. Ms. Sparq aligned with Vish's theory that human life exists until some catastrophic and extinction event happens. She believed in what Vish stated, “All humans could was to stop extinction events which erase human existence.”

Ms. Sparq thought Vish was right about human tendencies and that they would not act or take part in self-destruct in a larger humanity context and historically speaking. But at the same time Vish could not be worry-free about the possibility of self-destruct actions that humans were capable of. So, Vish devised the methods of motivation for helping deeds and methods of deterrents for hurting deeds. LifeScore along with New-Age Justice System designed to perpetuate the well-being of humanity. Ms. Sparq was positive and optimistic about New-Age Ideology and the human actions!

That morning Sparq was attending to a child patient Lucas who was being treated for a strange cancer variant. He was 11 years old and looks very frail physically. He was very resilient psychologically and his spirits were high, and that will alone save him from the brink, she thought. He was transitioning unfortunately into stage 3 at this moment.

Ms. Sparq greeted Lucas as she entered the room "Hey Lucas my young man! How are you doing this morning!".

Hey, Sparqly "Good morning! You are on time!! Look what I got yesterday evening from my friend Atif… a fidget spinner which while spinning it also created holographic 3D figures using laser beams."

He was breathlessly explaining as if to catch Ms. Sparq’s attention fully. "Look, I can switch the figures from a Cross to a Crescent Moon with a star to an Om to a Dharma chakra."

Ms. Sparq thought it was beautiful for the kid to navigate between different religious symbols. It was just wonderful and highly mature of a kid. She laughed, acknowledging, and appreciating. She said, "It's an awesome toy" and asked if she could try it. Lucas gave it to her very gladly to try even though it was a very expensive toy. He was happy that she had appreciated it and wanted her to try it herself. Lucas usually would not let anyone use or play with this toy, but Ms. Sparq was very special to him!

After a few minutes and after checking Lucas's vitals, Ms. Sparq gave him a dry bath, changed his clothes and bedsheets, and tucked him back into bed. Lucas could eat breakfast, a sunny-side-up egg omelet, on his own with a spoon with some difficulty while Ms. Sparq was watching and talking to him. She thought a fork was rather risky for frail body of Lucas. She gave him a half-cup of orange juice.

Ms. Sparq got up to finish the notes on Lucas. Sparq knew Lucas’s parents were going to pay a visit now, so she arranged the room by clearing the toys and other items that strewn on the floor and chairs. Just then came Lucas’ parents knocking on the door.

The family and his friends came into the room to the bedside where Lucas was lying. They all knew Ms. Sparq very well by now. Atif, Lucas' friend, was also there but stayed back sitting close to Lucas and playing with him. Lucy and Luther, the parents of Lucas, were there. That steady interaction with Ms. Sparq was helping the family and friends cope with the trauma that Lucas was having to bear.

They all came out while Atif stayed inside with Lucas. Ms. Sparq sat with his family and close friends ensuite room. The sofas were very luxurious. They all had a beverage of their choice and talked a little bit. Lucy and Luther were very alarmed by the fact that Lucas had slipped into Stage 3 just a couple of days ago. After speaking to the Doctors, they were venting with Ms. Sparq because she was very friendly and almost family. Ms. Sparq listened to the near and dear patients with patience showing by empathy and kindness.

Lucy inquisitively asked, "Ms. Sparq will he get rid of the malignancy and go back to Stage 2". She must have asked the same question like 100 times already.

Sparq looking at them, "Lucy, Luther, there is hope and every possibility that Lucas gets back to remission and normalcy. He just needed more time with new medication and newer treatment methods. Good thing is he still had time to try the newer experimental drugs."

She also mentioned that Dr. YoloMunk was also on the case and actively checking on Lucas’s progress. Lucy and Luther immediately felt very good as they knew of Dr. YoloMunk’s credentials. They waited for their chance to meet with Dr. YoloMunk later.

"Lucy your son is strong mentally and he is responding nicely. This sometimes happens to all cancer patients to swing between various stages. This is normal."

"We have the best Oncologists and best medication including brand new experimental medication not that we need experimental medication at this stage right away."

Lucy and Luther were comforted and felt good after talking to Ms. Sparq.

Ms. Sparq came from a rich Emiratis family from Abu Dhabi and was the heir to a very large fortune. She intended to use that fortune to good use. She was a philanthropist and an influencer and that amply showed up in her use of the funds. Above all, she was brave and does not shy away from putting her thoughts into action as she knew her thoughts and actions were humanist and stood to any humanism test. She had carefully selected a few global causes such as climate, equality, science education, and healthcare. She was on the boards of those projects that she founded. Her projects were global and based on progressive and philanthropical causes providing both direct and indirect help to the causes closest to her heart.

Under the direct help programs, she actively funded the needy such as funding for food, health, and shelter, and provides opportunities to work at her multitude of philanthropic organizations across the globe. Under the indirect help programs, she funded various global programs run by other non-profit organizations. She also funded such projects as R&D for addressing climate changes, genetic research. Ms. Sparq heads and supports a few pressure groups to work for the balance of social development across global regions. Ms. Sparq also funded activisms and other causes for restoring humanistic values. These activities related directly to Vish's New-Age ideology that she borrowed from the book "Life's larger context".

If someone asks what type of projects were closest to her heart, she will answer instantly that it's healthcare and science projects and not necessarily utopian but implemented in a modern version of "Little House on the Prairie" style of self-sufficient life. Prominently, she also funded for the shift in the political and governmental movements across the globe that follow Vish's New-Age ideology for fair governance. Ms. Sparq had become one of the Core members of Vish's followers with her commitment to Vish's ideologies.

Ms. Sparq was instrumental in the transformation of the UAE's government into a participative and need-based government. She had helped institute the new governments in UAE, Namibia, and Slovenia. The new constitutions of these countries were all very close to Vish's ideas on participative and empathetic governance. She worked very closely with Mr. Adit, Ms. Maria, Dr. Grace, Mr. Kirl, and Ms. Lea along with others in this effort. She herself became one of the Six on the Core Team with her humanist qualities and untiring efforts to implement New-Age Ideologies across the globe.

Ms. Sparq and Ms. Grace worked very closely on a few healthcare projects that involve cancer research with an emphasis on genetics. Dr. YoloMunk actively treated her patients who were young children suffering from cancers. The young doctor was also working on administering the new drugs, and some other times on experimental trials, that were straight from Dr. Grace’s labs. All these three women discuss and share ideas about the advances in treatment options.

Ms. Sparq founded Al Sharara Foundation as an umbrella institution under which there were numerous organizations formed including Educational, Activist, and Philanthropic institutions. Educational institutions’ goal was to offer STEM education from grade school to college research studies. Its reach was global and had tie-ups with many eminent educational institutions and universities from across the world. Genetics, Robotics, AI and Climate research got a major share of her funds.

Afia Jawahra, dearly called AJ, is only 26 years old but she had lots of ideas about equality. She fights inequality whether it’s based on class, sexism, racism, or any other ways of segregation, and very brave to talk against those practices in various public fora. AJ heads Alkadir Almusawat Waleadala a non-profit organization formed by Ms. Sparq based on the Equality and Justice principles of Vish. She had chosen AJ as head of the organization overseeing close to USD 2 billion. This organization worked at the field level with many volunteers and with global population.

It's time for the Meeting of The Core.

Sparq, AJ, and the team huddled into a meeting room to take part in the meeting of The Core. They all pulled out the gadgetry to join the meeting.

Scene 1.7 — Propagation of Social Justice —

It is the year 2100 AD.

The times are chaotic… politically and socially speaking and it is global. Huge changes are happening to all walks of life. The change agent is the New Age Ideology from Vish. People are looking back and reflecting on the long history of humans and pondering what to look forward to for a longer, equitable and brighter future. People are yearning for change and ready to do their bit and foment the changes as espoused by Vish.

Vish defined Social Justice as “Practice of a society where everyone was served with equal economic, political and social rights and opportunities because they deserved no less.”

Viswas, thinking about Fact-based governance, noted that the glorious unraveling of true and virtuous force of ethical governance that it had become in those select countries.

Budgets were allocated autonomously and algorithmically. The autonomous systems used the vast sensor data and real-time feedback from concerned citizens. Budgets were monitored and adjusted dynamically and autonomously by the New-Age governments. This methodology had helped replace the established corrupt political systems and consequent lopsided decision-making by bucking the pressure from the vested groups with their selfish agenda.

Viswas noted these autonomous methods changed the landscape of politics in the countries like Norway, New Zealand, Slovenia, Namibia, Uruguay, and Dubai (UAE). These small countries had implemented the New-Age political and governance systems quite successfully just as envisioned by Vish. These countries adapted to the change so fast that bigger countries could not catch up and many people from those bigger countries were clamoring for change.

Viswas noted that current-day politics was long due correction and replacement towards participative and fair governance… the New-Age Governance. To draw life out of the current divisive, oppressive, unfair, and selfish politics, she thought the core tenets of humanism need to be reinforced at every step of the decision-making process in society, economics, politics, and governance.

In 21st century, countries with economies, such as traditional economies, command economies, mixed economies, and market economies and many associated forms of political systems had been making policies, blatantly and brazenly, to benefit only a few by making all others powerless and dependent. This imbalance and suffering needed to be stopped.

As Life is defined as the Sum of Actions for Self and Self-less, everybody got a score, the LifeScore, according to their living actions. Everybody gets their fair share of belongings, experiences, and assets based on their LifeScore. This had worked wonders in small countries as it is rather easy to implement at a much smaller scale.

The New-Age Ideology for the 22nd century was on a test when it came to implementing it in larger countries. It's the challenge of the diverse population, various cultures, and at different stages of progress. Above all because of the unfettered and fickle human tendencies. People’s actions did not always follow logic nor they always behave in selfless manner. It's never easy to move away from the status quo, especially for the Haves. Transformation to New-Age Ideology was difficult in the face of obstacles created by the status quo systems which do not see benefits exclusively for themselves. Nor the change is quick or painless.

Vish recognized this difficulty and found ways to implement the change successfully. He believed if the individuals at large think and act to take care of social members then society will follow the footsteps. In order for them to follow the New-Age Ideology they needed to believe in benefits and recognitions for themselves, after all they were human first. Also they needed the deterrence when crossed the barriers of humanity. LifeScore provided both motivations for adherents and deterrents for the non-compliant.

Viswas opines that in politics, there must be a grading system of politicians and policies that encourages knowledge and humane characteristics. He says that demonstrable humane ideas were rewarded. Strong and weak weigh the same. Rich and poor weigh the same. No one to be left behind in participating and making the decisions. Money and power will not get higher credits or scores because it became synonymous with the select few, selfish, and exclusiveness. People from all walks of life and of all kinds should be in the decision-making bodies as representatives! And a leader should not mean powerful but just a guide to help followers. Viswas wanted to see this change welcomed into all other countries as well. And not only here but also at near and far Space and Moon colonies. This grading was applied to all humans and all systems impacting humans. It was based on the core tenets of humanism.

In the minds of his ardent followers, Vish was the protagonist. But Viswas thought everyone was a hero that was compassionate, and conscientious and who would think and act with conviction and courage for the human well-being.

Viswas knew his (Vish’s) followers Ms. Maria from Mexico, Mr. Adit from Japan, Ms. Lea from France, Mr. Kirl from Russia, Ms. Grace from Namibia, and Ms. Sparq from Dubai were at the forefront of various movements across the world to bring about the changes in the governments by using the Fair Governance methodology that Vish espoused.

Vish had defined Governance by redefining politics, administration, governance, inter-state polity, guaranteed basic needs, hard work tied to accomplishments and rewards, justice, consensus-based courtship, the prime directive of inclusiveness. These and more of these ideas made up Vish's New-Age Ideology for the wellbeing of humanity.

Viswas provides a few definitions as below:

Life: Sum of Actions for Self and Self-less.

LifeScore: Sum of Actions [(Self (X) + (Selfless (Y) * Z)) +/- Context score]

Politics: It is only between countries and none within the country.

Representatives: Elected people who enumerate the needs and record.

Field Sensors: Technology to capture, record and enumerate the needs of the people in real-time.

Budget Algorithmics: Computer programs that do automatic allocation in an economy.

DataSense: Derivation and analysis of data based on the metrics gathered from Agents and Sensors.

Administration: Implementors of the budgets locally, nationally.

Fair Governance: Life and Justice balanced with New-Age Ideology.

HappyIn or HappyOut: Consent-based togetherness, a HappyChoice (replacing marriage).

Chapter 2 - Politics and Administration

Scene 2.1 — Dichotomy of Politics and Administration —

Political Science is separated from Administrative Science in the New-Age of Inter-State politics (evolution from Nation-State/City-State). The Catalyst-activist Ms. Maria from Mexico was spearheading the efforts to implement ideologies by following Vish's New-Age Governance.

Maria was meeting with Sreeman Divyanshu, the representative from Leviat Sata Group which adheres to a system that was everything based on inequity and the will of the powerful. Sreeman was American Indian who currently lives in Los Angeles, USA. The agenda was to discuss the New-Age Fair Governance.

Sreeman was here for the meeting, in fact, to dissuade Maria from propagating New-Age Administration and Politics as propounded by Vish. Sreeman saw her ever growing influence in South American countries and was wary of losing economic and political clout in those countries. These New-Age Ideologies, if implemented, will result in the separation of Politics from Administration, and put an end to the selfish regimes. This dichotomy will cause current authorities to lose the power to the autonomous administration essentially freed from politics. It also causes existing politicians to lose much of their power and clout even in their own countries.

The meeting was arranged with Maria by intermediaries after a lot of persuasion from the people of Leviat Sata Group. Maria was reluctant as she knew the context and knew how openly Leviat Sata, and the team opposed Vish's New-Age Ideology. They were especially against the movement taking any roots in the USA or other bigger western countries. They don't want to lose control as they did in those small countries that followed Vish's New-Age doctrine.

Sata and teams actively and openly promoted their propaganda of the status quo that was heavily leaned toward economic and political power houses. Maria thinks Vish's ideas seemed to lean towards ideas of removing gaps between haves and have-nots. Specifically, by applying the new definition of Life and its application to humans where every individual's life was defined by the actions of self and selflessness combined.

Sata was the backbone of many governments and influential businesses. He was instrumental in propping up the openly inequitable policies of the respective governments and organizations. He was a multi-billionaire and easily one of the top richest in the world. He had interests in operations across the globe and had dominant space ventures. His conglomerate, Sata Resources Corporation, had mining operations on Asteroids from Near-earth orbits and minor planets from the asteroid main belt such as Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, and Hygiea. Precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum group metals, and iron group metals are mined and used for construction in space. But Sata's group was interested more in C-type or carbonaceous asteroids for their Carbon-rich minerals including water. Currently, this group and held all human explorations dependent on their in-space supplies of carbon minerals ranging from essential life supporting elements to infrastructure creating materials.

Sata's followers saw danger in Maria's activism hindering their agendas across nations. The New-Age Governance would destroy the stranglehold of the governments on the populations in many countries. If the bigger countries followed the suit of the handful of smaller countries in embracing New-Age Governance their clout will be diminished or destroyed. They didn't want it to happen. So, this meeting between Maria and Sreeman!

It was in a palatial building overlooking the Malibu beach at 11am local US Pacific time. Where they sat, they could see the beach in full expansive view. Maria noticed the heavy security as far as she could see from where they were seated. Maria was impressed with the security arrangements. She thought the more you amass riches the more security you needed!

Maria's team originally suggested a Holographic digital meeting with Sreeman's team. But Maria insisted she would rather meet in person so as not only to dispel Mr. Divyanshu’s false hopes of winning over The Core team but also to press for the change towards New-Age Ideologies of Vish, in the first person, a rare in the 22nd century day and age. Maria wanted to clear up the air with the detractors once and for all. But one could glean the friction, the result of the tussle between the Sata's followers and Vish's followers.

Maria was seated under a gazebo-style canopy comfortably on this early fall afternoon. It was bright and with a cool breeze on the shore felt perfect afternoon. She was served light drinks. And here comes Sreeman Divyanshu with folded hands. His two Fox Hounds leading him to the meeting. They were very well groomed and almost seemed to Introduce their boss to Maria.

Sreeman was a tall, handsome, and rather dark-skinned guy. He had a very infectious grin and very affable dispensation. He was Multilingual and was very proficient in Chinese, Hindi, English, Spanish, and Italian. In his lifestyle, nothing was ordinary from an onlooker and official records perspective. But what is well known was that he could cover up high corruption, dishonesty, illicit relationships, illegal money laundering, and even the murder trials that he bought off by corrupting the legal system. Sreeman was a rich and powerful guy.

Maria was a little distracted by the aura and splendor of Sreeman's entry and by his charm. She knew everybody gets distracted by the beauty! They did contactless greetings and exchanged pleasantries in both Spanish and English and then both settled into the agenda, the taut and teasing conversation to influence each other! The agenda was very clear and precise as Maria wanted. It was about the New-Age Governance with specific reference to USA and India.

Sreeman in an exquisite monotonous voice shouted: "hey Odd, hey Even come say hello to our guest Maria". Odd and Evn were the names given to the pet dogs of Sreeman. Odd was a male dog and Evn was a female dog. They came a few steps closer to Maria and stretched as if they were saying hello to her. Maria thought it was cute and petted them.

Sreeman started by saying "Maria do you think the Autonomous Budgetary Allocation is prone to hacking… I know this was high technology stuff and bad actors could hack and subvert your intentions." He knew, Adit was behind this technology and was helping with the algorithms utilizing Quantum Technology and that they were unhackable at this time.

Maria said, "Sreeman I am glad you brought that up". "In reality, we were utilizing hacker-proof quantum cryptography to secure and guard against unwanted changes."

Sreeman did not like that nor acknowledge that it's hacker-proof. He said, "The encryption algorithms based on cryptographic random number generators have been cracked with the advent of powerful Quantum computers." He wistfully said "Your safe methods are not as safe forever! Are they?"

Maria replied "The technology that we are using is 100% flawless because it is based on Entanglement-based Quantum key distribution and Quantum random number generators. Besides, that's not the only safeguard we have. We also use many other technologies and processes invented by Adit, that was beyond my comprehension to explain, which made it safe and secure. But I can tell you that there was nothing that we knew, nor we could foresee any technologies that breaks the encryption we deploy". "That's for sure!" Maria says with confidence and conviction.

Maria does not want to provide very many details to Sreeman. But she had to offer a few details in the hope of convincing Divyanshu. She knew he was a very powerful man and could influence Sata's stance. She also knew that, on the contrary, he came in to buy her out to put it slightly bluntly.

They also covered many other aspects of New-Age Politics and Administration and the dichotomy of those branches. Maria knew it was not easy to change practices that were centuries old. But she also knew "No struggle No change and No change No progress" as Vish put it.

Maria thought the conversation with Sreeman was useless. She thought all that Sata's people want was to stop New-Age Governance from taking roots now in bigger countries. Sreeman thought the same way that talking to Maria was pretty much useless and he was losing grip on the status quo. But he wanted to give it a try of influencing her and her stand. Sreeman knew they failed to acknowledge Vish’s New-Age Ideology taking roots in those smaller countries under their noses in plain sight. Sata thought it was like a plague and needed to be stopped from spreading.

Sreeman said "the Secretary of State of the USA and Home Minister of India were not very happy with Maria and her teams. He said they were willing to talk to Maria and that he could arrange a meeting with the staff from Secretary or even with Secretary herself."

Maria knew this was coming and was not entirely surprised by the insinuations and the veiled threat.

She said, "We can meet with them… that's not an issue. But that's not going to change my opinions or my team's. We have shown to the world that New-Age Governance works and works for the good of the entire population of the countries as you have witnessed from across the globe. I know they are small countries. But the population is happy in any whichever metrics you care to measure on. The implementations were extremely transparent."

Sreeman was becoming a little uneasy and was not noticing any positive vibes from Maria nor any hope from the conversation.

He said, "The real test of Vish's ideology was when people embrace it open-heartedly. We were not seeing that in the bigger countries. You were seeing so much unrest and resistance within these countries to this fad of Vish's revolutionary New-Age ideas." Sreeman was trying to sow seeds of doubt and thoughts of hardships ahead for Maria and the followers of Vish's New-Age Ideology.

Maria said "The ideology was not forced on anyone! Since it was beneficial to humanity. People were attracted by the benefits to humanity at large and follow voluntarily even if that meant changing the status quo and some adjustments to their daily lives!"

And the meeting time of one hour was up. Both did contactless goodbyes and left not agreeing on any of the items discussed. Maria knew of the outcome, but Sreeman was borderline hopeful and that came crashing down! Sreeman felt lost and defeated in the face of the puny but powerful woman that Maria was, he thought. And he was proven wrong and drubbed resoundingly.

Maria stated that Vish's Proposition of the dichotomy of Politics and Administration was based on the people's needs that were to be satisfied. The resources to satisfy these needs were differentiated internal versus external to their country. The living needs of people were taken care of by the administration at the micro level while safety needs were met by politics at the macro level. The much-clamored change from City-State and Nation-Sate to the Inter-State political system had already changed the landscape of politics in the countries like Norway, New Zealand, Slovenia, Namibia, Uruguay, and Dubai (UAE).

Maria knew that the Politics and Administration dichotomy was as essential when former US President Woodrow Wilson first proposed it in the 1800s as it was now when inequalities were perpetuated and flourished in the continued convergence of Politics and Administration.

Viswas explains, the traditional field of politics aimed to answer the question, “Who shall make law and what shall it be?” while the administration attempts to address the question, “How should the law be administered?”

Viswas stated that New-Age iterative process of administration was handled entirely by the evolutionary processes such as planning, and execution based on equality and humane principles. It took care of the efficient performance of all departments in an organization at various levels within the Country. In the New-Age Governance, all tasks that were fulfilling the needs were pursued with the help of auto-budgeting using the field data ably supported with the feedback provided by people themselves and cross-checked by the auto-sensors from below, above, and on the ground literally. The needs of people were THE influencers and nothing else influenced these budgetary allocations.

Maria aligned well with this dichotomy following Vish's clear guidelines on how to achieve such a goal with the help of advances in the 22nd-century technology and automation at ground level in real-life.

Scene 2.2 - Autonomy of Administration

The Core team was singularly responsible for the New Age Ideology Implementations across the globe. While Maria helped with the implementation policy framework for New-Age Governance with her contributions in the areas of Politics, Administration, Adit helped with Communications and Technology, and Economy; Lea helped with the policy designs of Society and Culture needs by using Humanism and Humanology concepts; Kirl helped with Science and Spirituality; Sparq helped with Healthcare and Education; Grace helped with Health Research, Climate protection and Life preservation. All these were stalwarts in their respective fields and accomplished individually and recognized internationally, with each of them having multitude of patents. They were well rounded with conviction in the Vish's New-Age Ideology.

It’s the year 2100 AD.

Maria and the team laid out the blueprints for all the aspects of governance at various organizational levels and at personnel level with specific reference to achieving the Autonomy of the Administration. Maria knew the freedom or independence could only be sustained with support of appropriate organizational structures with oversight of accountable officials and under independent judicial review within law of the land.

For the administrative agencies to perform their functions efficiently and effectively, without political interference, they needed transparent access to independent field data and independent budgetary allocations devoid of political influences or lobbying.

The all-important field data included field sensors that capture and collect the real-time data; the realities were captured and recorded by IoT sensors in various forms and formats including audio, video, images, and other data formats which was complex and heterogeneous. The data was sourced using multiple mechanisms. Then the data entered an elaborate automatic mapping of the needs and wants of human life. All these tasks of accumulation and analysis of data take anywhere from 2 seconds to 5 seconds maximum. These data metrics will help to arrive at the scoring of the needs and wats for the eventual budgetary allocations. This was a continuous process as in 24/7/365. There were very many parameters for the human needs that range from personal, societal, cultural, administrative and governance, and climatory aspects. The physical and spiritual satisfaction also factored and overlayed onto the core data.

Life's subsistence is guaranteed in the New-Age Governance. Subsistence was defined as catering to basic needs of Food, Clothing, Shelter, Health, and Education (CHEFS). The support systems were identified… these vary from the necessary methods to produce goods and services to the supply chain mechanisms and to the organizations for making sure these goods were distributed and reached the needy timely. In this style of living everyone must work and maybe even work hard. People do need to work per their competence and capability. The kind of work was their choice, either for self or selfless reasons.

There were many levels and kinds of work that were available for people to choose from and to be participating in. There was master catalog of tasks that was updated constantly and transparently. People choose work from that tasks list. No able person can live by idly. The work participation gets them the credits which in turn gets added into their LifeScore that defines their eligibility to the levels of material comforts and entitlements over and above the subsistence level.

Maria along with the Core members drove Vish's concepts of well-being that was evolutionary and progressive. Viswas said, “Life is not a quest for a meaning of existence nor there is destiny to leave actions and results entirely to the chance.”

Maria, Kirl, and Lea were holding a meeting at International Convention Center in Puerto Vallarta** on Mexico's Pacific coast in Jalisco state. The convention was to explain Vish's New-Age philosophy primarily to the South American population. This was both in-person and streamed interactively and globally. The entire event was broadcasted even across the space colonies. They know Leviat Sata was omnipresent and posed direct hurdles to thwart New-Age movement. That's why the Core Team determined that all their policies were out in the open and nothing was ambiguous or surreptitious. The Core team and its associates were very well prepared with answers that address challenges in Society, Culture, Education, Politics, Administration, Economy, Technology, and Healthcare when those aspects move to align with New-Age Ideology.

One of the many changes, brought out by Vish’s New-Age Ideology, was the institution of marriage. It made the marriage in the traditional sense obsolete. New-Age philosophy moved on to the next level in human relationships, based on the preservation of healthy and happy human beings. HappyChoice was the New-Age Relationship promoted as a mutual and consensual tie-in relationship, replacing the traditional and binding marriage. HappyIn and HappyOut were the pathways where one can enter or exit the relationship based on consensus. It made HappyChoice legal and had constitutional support in the New-Age countries. It allowed for having children with a specific person by choice and also by the genetic match. Both this choice and match must be present for the couple to have had children with their courtship or by scientific in vivo/in vitro methods. In the HappyIn relationship, the progeny (biological children) was cared for until they were adults. The biological children were the responsibility of the biological parents until the children attain adulthood. There was no such thing as inheritance. Benefits and Loses because of their direct actions anytime were tied to that person. They, the married couple, could agree on how to share these aspects. HappyOut was a breakout of the mutual-consensual tie-in relationship by agreeing to separate.

Amanda and Matheus, originally from Brazil, were in Mexico to meet with Maria and the teams. Amanda and Matheus currently employed in the Brazil government and were working as Civil-Supply administration heads. They command the entire civil distribution wing for essential food items. They, along with a few other Mexican counterparts, had held previously a couple of meetings as run-up to their meeting with Maria on New-Age Ideologies.

Honesty, integrity, and values in Public Administration were key to the autonomy of the administration; this included the checks and balances regarding the implementation. The balancing acts of various involved committees ably supported by the oversight of the judicial system ensured honesty in execution and institutional integrity in the presence of bureaucratic autonomy.

Amanda and Matheus were on the consulting boards during the political and administrative change over in Uruguay. It was a big deal for the country and the population for the change was to be introduced in many walks of life. It was the New-Age Governance and many other concepts from Vish's New-Age ideology. All changes were to be monitored as well until the autonomous Administration took its roots and on a good foundation. It took about two years before Amanda and Matheus team was satisfied to leave it entirely to the local administrative authorities.

Maria did not have to struggle much to drive Vish's ideologies, as all these attendees were well versed in his ideas. The people read and understood the concepts from the Book "Life's Larger Context". They were all very enthusiastic about attending the symposium at Puerto Vallarta and sharing ideas with a larger population from South American countries attended by interested leaders and administrators from across the globe as well.

Maria stressed that the important but fundamental aspect of New-Age implementations was "How someone gets to navigate the rather simplistic formula of conducting oneself in New-Age definition of Life". It gave the weights to everyone’s actions depending on whether it's for Self or for Self-less. Actions for Self-less got orders of magnitude higher weightage than actions for self. Vish defined Life is the Sum of Actions for Self and for Self-less. Since Self-less actions resulted in benefits to others with no direct return of benefit to self it was expected to get orders of magnitude higher beneficial weightage such as "when I help to build a house for a stranger, I get 20 times weightage of working for my home".

This Formula was used to provide additional living incentives such as a bigger Car, Home, or any of the whims that were not need-based but were based on wants. These wants were rewarded based on accomplishments and recognitions and correspondingly conferred luxury and vanity.

The symposium at Puerto Vallarta** covered many aspects of Autonomous Administration. It was a hectic two-day event with several papers presented, many lectures conducted and along with many convivial group discussions all showing how much support the New-Age philosophy had garnered.

Amanda and Mathews headed a few debates. Maria presented a few papers and gave a couple of lectures. Maria hit upon the idea of the universal well-being of the human population. She presented the benefits of the New-Age Ideologies and reminded the attendees of the friction and opposition from the status-quoists such as from the Leviat Sata's groups.

Amanda and Mathews presented how the poor and rich alike in Uruguay got benefitted with riches from the changes in social, economic, and political life. People were living with respect and dignity within two years of following Vish’s ideologies. This kind of living in New-Age Uruguay fascinated people from other countries on the South American continent, especially in Brazil, Chile, and Argentina.

People in Chile, Argentina, and Brazil have become enamored with the New-Age Ideology from Vish.

Scene 2.3 - Decentralization of Governance

Maria stated that the goal of decentralization was to increase participation, accountability, and efficiency in governance. It also improved access to resources and services. Decentralization would also lead to greater diversity and innovation, as well as a more equitable distribution of power and resources.

To the question “Is it possible to have decentralization of governance as a way polity at country level?” Maria answered emphatically, “Yes, it is possible with delegation of authority, devolution of power to the local governing bodies such as at community and co-operative bodies.

Maria stated that governments should avoid concentration of power with a few individuals by allowing decentralized inter-governmental relationships among multiple levels of governing bodies. This was possible only with delegating decision making to the local bodies and independent allocation of budgets for the local bodies.

Community, Village/town, City, and State governments needed to function as cogs in the wheel of the federal government. The money was spent on need-based projects at all levels. The New-Age framework of allocations was the direction to the auto-adjusting budgets at local and national level governments and not at the behest of any person, party, or group. Needs of people alone influenced the budgetary allocation and only at the hands of autonomous algorithms and with common people providing feedback. Administrators or politicians do not influence the allocation.

The role of governments at various local levels was of apportioning the tasks between public execution and private execution of the implementations of projects. Decentralization by delegation and devolution of power was at Political, Administrative, Fiscal, Monetary, and Market levels and root of the economy and governance.

Maria had a rather hectic last week preparing for and attending the Puerto Vallarta Meet. After that, she wanted some rest and some quiet time. She wanted to go to Grace in South Africa and spend some time with her and her three kids. She also had some matters to discuss with Grace's ex-husband in person regarding the role of administration during Pandemics which seem to recur frequently. He was an expert in epidemiology and virology. But she could not go and meet Grace because she had to fly to Moscow to attend meetings arranged by Kirl. When Kirl did something, they become urgent!

So, Maria took a flight from Mexico City, Mexico (MEX-Benito Juarez International Airport) to Moscow. Kirl received Maria at Vnukovo International Airport (VKO). Kirl suggested Maria should rather fly into the VKO airport as it is closer to the part of Moscow downtown where there was a quick meeting with locals and because it had less air traffic.

Maria emerged from arrival terminal post with her luggage. Kirl was standing there at ground transportation level. Once he saw her eagerly waved at her.

Kirl came in by Sapsan train from St. Petersburg to receive Maria. Even though he was a well-trained Multi Engine Land (MEL) pilot, Kirl liked slow modes of transportation. Kirl took a cab from the train station to the airport. Standing at the international arrivals gate, Kirl spotted Maria first and shouted "hey Привет (Privet in Russian means hi) Maria".

Maria had to turn to her right to look in the direction of Kirl's visceral shouting. "Hey hi Kirl". They were very happy to see each other in person with full and wide grins. It's surprising to note how happy they were to see each other; they just met last week at the International Convention Center in Puerto Vallarta on Mexico's west coast. This was beyond family and was only experienced when they share common ideologies. We can see that in Kirl and Maria - they were followers of Vish's New-Age Ideology.

They shook hands and hugged warmly. They both had outer-body protective covers, face masks, and hand gloves. Interesting times they were living in… Even though the travel dress mentioned sounds strange the actual attire looked very normal and not at all like any hazmat suit.

Kirl was huge and almost double the size of puny Maria. It's odd to look at them greet each other so snuggly because their sizes were so starkly contrasting.

Kirl took her luggage and put it in the taxicab and opened the door for Maria to sit in. The cab driver's name was Enebish. He was from Mongolia and liked to indulge in conversations with his passengers. Kirl knew Enebish very well and scheduled Enebish’s taxi. During the short ride, Enebish was glad to offer, without anyone asking of course, the insights into inner Mongolian lifestyles. Enebish told that his name literally meant taboo and was given to him by his village elder to ward off evil. Enebish kept talking about Mongolian culture and how friendly his people were. He drove rather leisurely and some 30 minutes and reached a location Maria had never been to before. The hotel was not very big nor very expensive. It had a hall with attached guest houses.

Mikhail Smirkhof and Kristina Rivenova received them at the hall. They both were very helpful to Kirl and were very faithful followers of Vish's New-Age ideology. Kristina helped Kirl while setting up the observatory/planetarium in the Science center in the capital city of Ljubljana, Slovenia. Kristina was from Slovenia originally. She flew into Moscow for these meetings with Maria. Mikhail was local to Moscow and himself a mathematician and a Greenhouse enthusiast. He grew everything that goes into Kasha, a drink, and that too at a scale. Kasha was made of whole grains (buckwheat, oats, wheat, millet, barley, rice, etc.) as the main ingredients and served as breakfast or as snack bars. Mikhail grew all the food ingredients in-house at his many cooperative greenhouses all around Moscow. He also owned a restaurant called Planet Kasha and served free meals to anyone who pledged allegiance to Vish's New-Age ideology. For others at the price that covers costs. For this reason, Mikhail was very popular in Russia and nearby East European countries. People come from far and wide to get pristine and organic produce and, while there, visit the Planet Kasha restaurant for a good healthy meal.

Kirl had some local groups come in for the private meetings with Maria. All of them settled in their rooms for the good night’s rest. They needed to get ready for a hectic parleying the next morning. Kirl and the team were instrumental in designing the spiritual aspects of the dichotomy of politics and administration and decentralization of governance. It was basically centered on detachment of power from the politicians. For the population, it was a huge deal of moving away from the status quo of politics married to administration and move towards the dichotomy between them. There were fears that the new system would plunge people into chaos. Kirl and the team took up the role of explaining the New-Age Ideology benefits and calming people. Kirl was instrumental, working with Maria, in creating the frameworks for the decentralization with detachment.

Kirl, following Vish's ideology, believed people ought to shed their baggage and ego and start trusting the autonomous processes entrusted with the common good of the people whether its governance at the local/city or state. Politics was only exercised at inter-state level issues between countries and not within a country.

Kirl believed that a person's selfless actions define trust and pave the way for the decentralization of governance while also nullifying the idolatry of the few and countering the deep-rooted pseudo feudalism that the current capitalism had become infested with.

About 200 people are participating from different locations in and around eastern European countries. Between Kristina and Mikhail, they knew everyone personally. A large holographic display was used for presenting the decentralization of governance concepts. This meeting was a sort of train the trainers or enable the influencers for the changes that were going to happen in their countries sooner than later.

Adit, Lea, Sparq, and Grace have attended this meeting holographically. The meetings were very informal without any real structure but very rigid in terms of the outcomes as was wont in Russia and especially with Kirl. Kirl conducted the meeting with a serious face, tone, and tenor. Even if he seemed serious the attendees knew he was gentle and kind. Maria did most of the talking to the groups from various east European countries who were yearning to understand the New-Age Ideologies better. They knew that Maria and teams implemented successfully New-Age Ideologies in Uruguay and Slovenia.

Maria explained and drove down the facts that how democratic and human-oriented policies make up the New-Age Ideologies. Infractions, civil or criminal, had become less and less as the people in New-Age countries understood and accepted the definition of Life as offered by Vish. It was a simple formula to follow, and it was fair and equitable.

Kristina and Mikhail provided the attendees with ground realities of the decentralization especially in the context of no political leaders to take decisions on behalf of the people. The decision making was handled by the local administrators using the local data and the neutral feedback from the local population. They mentioned how the politicians were absent and their constituents had been detached and there was no connection between politicians and population anymore. This was in stark contrast to the status-quo processes up to 21st century where politicians influence the outcome and there was no guarantee of self-less actions.

Data that led to the decisions was always available online to the rightful citizen. The administration allowed input and feedback from its citizens. Since the raw data was not prone to influence the automatic allocation of budgets was closest to impartial. This had made Vish's New-Age Ideologies such as Autonomous Administration, Inter-State political System, and Humanist life values extremely popular and seen as a long-time coming.

Scene 2.4 - Localization using Prime Directive (from 21st Century TV show “Star Trek”)

Amanda took Maria and others to the local Carnival in Montevideo, Uruguay. Uruguayan Carnival is a festival that was performed on stages locally referred to as candombe, Murga and Tablados. The carnival had evolved into a dance parade in which different comparsas play the drums and dance to the music at "Desfile Inaugural del Carnaval" and Llamadas parade. Amanda played as a drunk person and her dance mate was Maria. They had lots of fun in the festival.

They ate Asado and some local delicacies. Local people went ecstatic watching their hero Maria participate in their cultural activities. This was an example implementation of Localization using the Prime Directive from the New-Age Ideology by Vish. The moral and ethical guidelines that prohibited outsiders to infringe on local cultural and linguistic sensibilities.

Many of Vish's localization ideas were based on the theory that nobody knows better than you about your own cultural and community realities and issues. Vish firmly believed that everybody had a right to choose their cultural paths and be proud of it. It's personal and local. It was about people and communities helping themselves.

Viswas mentioned, the ways to preserve local norms, cultural and linguistic prejudices, beliefs, customs, and values. The implementation steps as per New-Age Ideology consisted of translation of language, adoption of cultural references, feedback, and refinement. It was essentially a way to respect local cultures in all its hues with dignity and respect.

The development and maintenance projects in The New-Age Governance regime got the budgets and allocations that were automated. These allocations were strictly based on the needs of the people and communities. The autonomous allocations were cross-checked and ratified by its constituents in near real-time. Allocation and Planning were based on needs captured by sensors and people and cross-checked by the community itself. This implementation heavily uses the technologies developed by Adit, whether it's access, cryptography, storage, analysis, or communication.

Viswas, says, in all of this New-Age Governance frenzy, one should not lose sight of the nature of the local cultural and social riches. Without preserving local touches and flourishing local riches, the people will not be on board with any schemes of governance. Vish realized this facet of localism and gave a big role for Localization in New-Age Governance.

Amanda and Matheus (both from Brazil) with their teams had designed the localization policies and frameworks for the data collection while implementing the New-Age related changes in Uruguay. They spent a few months in the capital city Montevideo in a make-shift office building not too far from the World Trade Center 4. They met with new and old political leaders and understood the local nuances. Amanda and Matheus drew up plans to implement the local governance. Maria spearheaded the movement in the country with various local experts on the New-Age Ideology. She helped local teams on the ground in Uruguay with details of various branches of the governance disciplines.

Amanda and Matheus debate a lot on many issues plaguing society, especially in South America and usually, they turn to arguments. They disagree friendly and move on to the larger context of the New-Age Ideologies promoted by Maria. They studied Vish's ideologies extensively and think it was very needed now than ever and that these ideas showed the way to a bright future with equality, respect, dignity, freedom, and progress for all.

To a hypothetical question of “Would you choose local culture preserved or choose progress which stunted local culture”, Viswas stated, “Vish’s Ideology would choose local culture preserved with dignity and respect, if that was the choice of locals.”

Matheus remembered the conversations he had with local people. He could not but wonder how nicely the general thinking of the population was aligned to their leaders in the context of progressive thinking. Uruguay was already one of the best countries in terms of free speech, progressive thinking, etc. This progressive and tolerant thinking made things a lot easier to implement the changes as proposed by Vish's New-Age Ideology.

Maria was very instrumental in bringing about the changes to its fruition. She was very much loved, and the Uruguay population adored her and treated her as their spiritual guide in life. Maria and the teams saw to it that the policies and principles of Dichotomy of politics and administration, Autonomy of Administration, Decentralization of governance, Localization using Prime Directive, Just-in-time (JIT) economy, and globalization of safety and security were well laid out and meticulously followed during field level implementation of New-Age Ideology.

A large and redundant network of numerous sensors was deployed whose job was to collect raw data and transfer it over to central computers for further processing and analysis. The sensors were everywhere and were deployed redundantly so the sensor system could withstand and recover even from a partial or a catastrophic failure. The sensors were seen over the ground, under the ground, in the air and space, under the water. These sensors were ubiquitously deployed everywhere. They collect every aspect of life and its realities. That included parametric values for the weather, quality of the developmental infrastructures like roads, buildings, water bodies, the safety of lives and quality of living, incidents of infractions, etc.

The data collected gets to the size of a few petabytes, when compressed, every day at each community level. This data was highly secure and implemented with a cryptography architecture, efficient storage, secure transmission, and quick analysis as provided by Adit. The data was transparent and was open to changes and feedback from the people of the community. The community population gets the privileges to access the data according to their LifeScore. The interactive data management was continuous and feedback was protected by self-checking algorithms.

The final step was the analysis of the data that was replete with raw realities and ratified by the community representatives. This step ensured that the human essence was not missed out in budgetary allocations and decision-making.

Amanda was explaining at the convention on the implementation details of the local autonomous administration. She was highly conversant with sensor technologies and computer systems.

Someone raised her hand from the auditorium and had asked "I have a question."

Amanda said "Yes, please go ahead."

She was, named Elizabeth, from Columbia a country in South America and went on with doubts about autonomous administration. "What if there are errors in the data collection? what if the sensors were hacked or they just become erratic or simply go offline?"

Amanda said "Great questions. Thanks for asking!"

"Let me explain”, Amanda replied, “The data collection was completely independent of any influence. The data reflected the ground reality in a quantified fashion. Adit's algorithms were used in the collection, storage, and analysis processes. The processes complied with safety and security standards and regulations of the governments. The gathered data gets transferred to the central servers that were failsafe and hacker-proof. The data was visible to the community based on their identity and allowed them to provide changes as necessary based on their privileges. Once the data was agreed to be final then it gets processed for the budgetary allocations for various management and administration tasks during the actual implementation."

This was everyday continuous cycle of data collection, feedback capture, transfer to central servers, data analysis, metrics preparation and finally determinations with decision making as the outcome.

She continued "There are many questions especially because the politicians were out of the picture in the traditional sense… people from the communities were concerned about whom to approach in case of loss or in case of contentions."

Amanda continued, "the data collection, transmission, analysis, and dissemination was completely transparent to the citizens and open to questioning. Local administrators would field the questions and clarify. Data points were fundamental to the New-Age Governance along with its quality of mirroring the reality to a near 100%. Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability, and Honesty are cornerstones of the process."

Uruguay implemented New-Age Ideologies holistically. It includes the Autonomous administration, Localization of Governance, Dichotomy of Administration, Just-in-time economy, Inter-State Politics, etc. The Political leaders were dealing only with Inter-State aspects as concerned with the international communities and countries. The true Life definition in practice was almost perfected and it was nowhere better implemented than here in Uruguay. Hardworking people of the country now had a sense of direction and guidance from Vish's Human-centric ideology.

People had to work for a decent living and work harder to earn a luxurious living of their liking. No hard work no luxury. The New-Age framework supports the "One for All and All for One" ethos. People would find the jobs that they like or suit them. They shared the material resources for the common causes thereby increasing the LifeScore that accrued better benefits for them.

The importance given to local cultures and their societies resulted in contentment in terms of the self-respect and dignity of the local population. Because of the inherent helping not hurting culture of New-Age Ideology peace had prevailed in these New-Age countries. Progress is measured by human well-being not by GDP.

Scene 2.5 - Globalization for Safety and Security

Adam and Eva were initially worried that the old guard would not let go of the status quo partisan and selfish politics. Hailing from Uruguay where Vish's New-Age Ideology was strongest among the countries which followed, they were skeptical and hesitant initially about the acceptance of New-Age Safety and Security concepts among the general population. But everyone knew that until now neither national administrators nor the national politicians seemed to address directly and completely the people's safety and security needs.

Adam and Eva were from San Antonio, Uruguay a sleepy town about an hour away from North of the capital Montevideo. The town may be small but its resilient and reflects life in full freedom as in no fear of robbery, no fear of being exploited, and the population living in with respect and dignity. The lives mattered and the quality mattered to them.

Not many people would believe nor understand that their safety and security were dependent on the macro level as well as on local economies connected to the entire planet. These concerns also reflected locally and resonated personally. Maria brought forth the ideas from Vish about what those basic human safety needs were, and where those needs interconnected to global well-being and how the local well-being can be secured which was at personal, economic, health and social levels.

The challenges of social and economic safety and security were varied and complex, reflecting the interconnected and interdependent nature of global societies and economies. Some of these challenges were poverty and inequality, conflict and violence, climate change, migration ad displacement, corruption, etc. Addressing these challenges required a comprehensive and integrated approach that combined effective policies and programs, international cooperation, collaboration between local and national governments and organizations, and investment in education, health, and social protection.

Globalization has both positive and negative impacts on safety and security. On one hand, globalization has led to increased interconnectivity, which has made it easier to share information and coordinate efforts to address global security threats such as terrorism, cybercrime, and pandemics. This has also led to greater cooperation between countries and international organizations in addressing these challenges.

On the other hand, globalization has also increased the likelihood of the spread of infectious diseases and has made it easier for criminals to operate across borders. Furthermore, globalization has also led to economic and political imbalances, which can contribute to social unrest and conflict.

To ensure safety and security in the age of globalization, it is important for governments, international organizations, and the private sector to work together to address global security threats. This involves investing in public health infrastructure, improving cyber security, and strengthening international cooperation in areas such as law enforcement and intelligence sharing. Additionally, it is important to address the root causes of conflict and instability, such as poverty, inequality, and political instability, to promote long-term security and stability.

Maria believed that the stronger the constituents stronger the community and vice-versa. But also, that the benefits from outside of the community were never available or attainable if communities remain sealed off from the outside world. For the benefits such as the ability and potential to acquire immense knowledge and for the benefit of the local societies, people must be attuned to the global contexts. In the context of benefits to the communities from such an arrangement despite the immense potential, everyone should be wary of pitfalls too. Maria noted that this balance was precisely what was stricken by the New-Age Ideology from Vish… a near-perfect blend of localization and globalization.

Maria understood that Safety and Security issues were formidable, complex, and challenging issues. These issues could make or break a community's peaceful existence. These issues could threaten the person from reaching the full potential. The local issues were relatively easily faced, addressed, and mitigated because these issues were visible, felt, and understood easily. These issues were resolved locally to a large extent with local knowledge and resources. But the issues as the result of the indirect and external forces such as macro economy, cultural influences, rapid advancements, and climatic changes were more formidable and need to be dealt with at higher levels and only by interconnecting local entities with global entities. These resolutions summoned from the global solutions and applied to the local communities would help in ways that were not just available if it were only from local or vice-versa.

Maria knew the right judicial system for social and economic safety and security must balance the needs of individual rights and the public good, and must be designed to promote social stability, economic development, and the rule of law. She instituted several mechanisms to address issues of the Judicial System to function as an effective and fair system. These included independence, accessibility, timely delivery of justice, punish the perpetrators, etc.

Adam and Eva along with a group of New-Age Ideology volunteers from Uruguay attended the training sessions tailored to Uruguay and presented by Maria. It was well spaced with theory and simulation games for real-life implementation exercises. The simulation games were designed and created by Adit and value-added by the rest of the Core members in their respective areas of expertise. Attendees for the first time learned how safety and security were multi-layered for everyone and that they are definable and tunable according to the individual's and communities’ needs.

Eva gave Adam a book titled "New-Age Theories 101" that's about how to imbibe New-Age theories and concepts in real-world scenarios. This book was authored by the New-Age Core Group. Adam read that on the first chance he got when he got back in the room and felt very good and unburdened about the complexities of New-Age concepts. When he read Vish's book "Life's larger context" again it all made sense now. Adam understood how the world was badly in need of a change and needed to be oriented towards a more selfless nature that is centered towards human well-being. Adam thanked Eva the next morning when he first saw her… saying "Eva thank you so much for the Book "New-Age Theories 101" and it made me clearly understand what Vish was saying and proposing for the new world order!" and said laughingly now I need "New-Age Theories 102" book!

Adam and Eva were very happy now at the turn of the 22nd century under the New-Age Governance in Uruguay. Its population experienced the best safety and security of their lives better than under any other times and better than under any other governments and regimes in its recorded history. People were seeing their societies change drastically right before their eyes while the richness of the culture was preserved all the same.

When Maria was in this town first time, she had formed several local governing groups with Adam and Eva as members of the local governing committees. The committees follow Vish's New-Age Governance philosophy. These local committees align well with the national committees on Safety and Security which was about syncing local economies and societies with national, international, and beyond.

The currency was digital and global. The Digital NewAge Coin was used in all transactions. In all New-Age countries, it was the major currency used in all transactions whether those were local or global. It made the Monetary and Fiscal policy very transparent and corruption-free.

Since the country followed the Digital Coin that had gone global, the economy and trade were open and truly global. The transactions had become easy with Digital Ledger using the newer Blockchain technologies supported by Adit and Team's state-of-the-art safe & secure Finance framework.

Challenges such as public conscience, immigrants, refugees, natural disasters, acts of war, cyber-crime, terrorism, pandemics, environmental disasters, etc. that impact the lives globally had become more pronounced and immediate to every person no matter which part of the planet or which country they lived in. So, Vish's New-Age Safety and Security were very relevant in this 22nd century. These challenges were easily faced and fought off with a new paradigm of governance that values honesty and selflessness and a clear goal for the well-being of humanity at large.

Security was a topic with urgency and complexity. It was global in scale and global in impact. The challenges and impacts may reach from the local level to the global level and vice versa. Or to coin a new word, Glocality, which meant Local-Global Interdependence, was a key element of the modern-day local Safety and global Security challenges.

In the current, interconnected world, Safety and Security challenges were becoming increasingly complex. Facilitated by developments such as globalization and the spread of networked and hyper-connected technologies, new safety and security challenges arose that impacted local, national, regional, and international societies. These challenges dramatically increased in their complexity and scale.

Adam and Eva set up an organization working with the UN to offer help to various governments that were interested in the New-Age Ideologies. They provided voluntary consulting services that include field study, coaching, and drawing up action plans for their clientele. They also visited several space colonies to provide comprehensive social and economic Safety and Security aspects especially when it came down to cultural relationships within the space colonies.

This was where Adit's many patented technologies come in handy while implementing the New-Age Ideologies. They provide a secure framework in which the transactions were safe and secure.

Scene 2.6 - Inter-State and Space Colony politics

It’s the year 2100 AD.

Inter-State and Space Colony politics was a governance thread of the New-Age Ideologies. It referred to the political relations and diplomacy between different states or nations or space colonies. The United Nations New-Age Councils acting globally, which include outer space entities, oversee guidance and advice to member countries for Climate, Economy, Education, Healthcare, Research, Safety, Security, and Peace.

Inter-state and space colony politics presented several complex and challenging issues, given the unique nature of space colonies and the potential for geopolitical tensions and conflicts to arise. Some of the key challenges include: Jurisdiction and sovereignty, Resource allocation, International cooperation, Environmental regulation, Security and defense, etc. These challenges underscore the importance of international cooperation and the development of effective governance and political structures to ensure the success and sustainability of inter-state-space colonies.

Core members of the New-Age Ideology group working on various committees helped write the New-Age UN Constitution. Core members’ seminal contribution attracted many countries' attention. Their governments and population evinced keen interest and wanted to learn more. The implementation policy follows the mantra that not everybody was born with equal personal attributes and every living person lives with dignity, gives and receives respect, and works hard to their abilities.

Even though the last attribute, work to their abilities, was an assumption, the implementation part of making sure everybody working to their abilities was left to individual member countries. Similarly, not every participating country was endowed with all required resources but is equitable beneficiaries for the well-being of its citizens. LifeScore helped a lot with this adoption.

The New-Age constitution provides guiding principles for the countries to conduct themselves with each other in synchrony. The resources from various countries were pooled for allocation to needing countries. It covered all the resources that cannot be obtained locally from within a country. This global fair allocation was only possible with the inter-connected nature of the countries according to the UN New-Age policies.

The research and development for various initiatives for creating Food, new Medicines, and treatments, new Materials, Climate preservation, Zero-gravity or Micro-gravity production in space-based labs, Quantum computing facilities, next-generation Internetworking, newer Transportation techniques, and such heavy capital investment projects are fully funded and monitored by UN New-Age Councils. The proposals and results are peer-reviewed and well disseminated across the participating nations. The UN sets up facilities for these projects across the globe in collaboration with various participating countries. The results and products are distributed straight to populations per their needs directly matching their LifeScore.

The participating national leaders convened various meetings and workshops for the benefit of the members. The sole guiding principle for the UN New-Age Organizations was to cater to the benefits of the people cutting across national border lines. It's globalization and localization in play at once.

The sole purpose of the UN bodies was to protect, preserve and progress the well-being of the population by creating wealth by aiding in creating goods and services and distributing this wealth equitably among the population as per the LifeScore.

National or international politics don't interfere with individual regional and local governments. It's because there is no such need. The New-Age Governance introduced the dichotomy of the Politics and Administration, Autonomy of Administration, Localization of Administration, Decentralization of Governance, and Globalization of Safety and Security. New-Age Ideologies from Vish was fully embraced and implemented in letter and spirit by the participating countries.

The wars implicit or explicit between nations were barred. Because of the various built-in provisions, the frictions and working against each other were prevented as well. Nations now participate cooperatively and truly globally. There was no option to be outside of the New-Age UN. Every country is included and each provides funding pro-rated based on their population and the grand sum of the LifeScore of their population.

The underlying assumption for the budgetary allocations to the communities was that there was never a dearth of funds for any project because the money was made available to be spent for such projects. The monetary and fiscal systems made sure that there were funds available. The monetary and fiscal policies shed away the zero-sum treatment of the financing. There was no taxation as people got what they deserve by way of LifeScores.

The goods and services were created and produced and added to the national grids. The distribution of goods and services was as per the LifeScores and for the Developmental projects. Derivatives trading is banned. Taxation is banned. Insurance is banned. Buying and selling of resources in the traditional sense were banned. Because a Market-based economy inherently introduces inequalities and profit mongering. Market economies gave scope to the reckless behavior of entrepreneurs to the detriment of the general population.

The New-Age marketplace was an inventory of available goods and services. The transactions were based on the Quantum Blockchain technology to prevent corruption, scale to any level imaginable, and applied to the transactions even across outer space. It's international with goods and services availability master lists and distribution was strictly on a needs basis. There was no profit or loss. Any unused/unsold items are put back on the available inventory list. This master list guides when and what goods to start or stop production. Which also served as the basis to whom to distribute the goods and services thus produced. This method ensures resources are not wasted on unwanted or excess products.

Maria says the aim of Vish's New-Age Governance was not perfection or the ideal society but rather focused on the progression of well-being and removing hurdles in its way. Hence, it's not an utopian society that was only possible in imagination. The New-Age Ideology focuses on reducing inequality while attempting to create wealth and well-being for humanity. This was the pitfall that Communism and Socialism faced. New-Age Ideology avoided this pitfall.

In inter-state and Space Colony politics it often involved conflicts over resources, territory, and power, as well as negotiations for trade and cooperation. These conflicts can take many forms, from direct military engagement to diplomatic bargaining and economic sanctions.

To be successful, Core team designed, an Inter-State and Space Colony political system that would be based on a strong foundation of mutual respect, trust, and cooperation. This would require a shared commitment to democratic values, the rule of law, and human rights, as well as effective mechanisms for dispute resolution and conflict management from participating countries.

The New-Age Core was represented in various fora of the UN Councils. The small countries which ushered in New-Age following Vish's New-Age Ideologies across the globe represent the great examples that can showcase to the various UN Councils.

Many other countries were showing a lot of interest in understanding fully how these New-Age ideas are being implemented. The Core group conducted several conferences participated in full and listened to in rapt attention by members. Maria made sure every question was answered with real-world examples. Adit helped her with communication mechanisms and Lea helped with live answer sessions for the interested groups.

Conducting these meetings, symposiums and conferences was a huge task. There was huge interest from across the globe in learning about New-Age Ideologies and their implementation details in the participating countries. Maria formed several groups each based on the continent that the member country was from. She constituted working groups attached to each continental group for quelling any doubts and for quenching the thirst of the people wanting to know more and more of the Vish's New-Age Ideologies that include reforms in Governance, preserving cultural aspects, reduction of inequalities, changes in Monetary and Fiscal systems, enhancing Socially responsible behaviors, etc.

Maria chose the delegation and dispersion techniques for managing these many onerous tasks. Because of the revolution in communications, it had become rather easier to conduct and implement any idea as long the ideas were welcome by the people. New-Age Ideology was such a philosophy and people all over the world trusted its intent and immediacy and they welcomed it overwhelmingly.

The Core group members each brought out very detailed plans covering many aspects of lives. There were some big issues covering Climate, Equitability, Safety and Security, International Cooperation, Brotherhood, Healthcare, Education, Wealth Creation, and well-being.

LifeScore was at the heart of the New-Age Ideology and this philosophy helped humanity and enabled people to work harder for self and self-less reasons voluntarily in those implementing countries.

Inter-State politics was the mechanism for a member country to understand its strengths and weaknesses. It helped to compare with other countries and draw up plans to share the excesses from each country with other countries equitably. This was not viewed as a Utopian concept but rather as a necessity for the progressively better living of the population.

Scene 2.7 - Diverse and inclusive social fabric.

Life is an eternal struggle for inclusiveness while safeguarding against exclusivity of any aspects of the empiricism, rationalism, skepticism. Vish reasons that spirituality was also essential. Vish opined that the vacuous state of humanity up until the end of 21st century was devoid of any spirituality and burdened by selfishness. Vish's definition of life as the sum of all actions as distinctioned by for-self and by self-less ably summarized meaning of life.

People tend to spend their whole lives dissatisfied and frustrated, in search of a purpose and meaning of life. Vish's ideas and thoughts were that life was always meaningful even beyond Iddo Landau's famous assertion. Philosopher Iddo Landau suggested that all of us had everything we needed for a meaningful existence (as paraphrased). Vish's followers affirm their guide's belief that one should not search for a meaning of life nor for a purpose of living and neither in the concept of destiny. It's because the life is ephemeral, and one should possibly try to accomplish progress with equity and sanity as much as possible in the limited amount of time that they live. This was to avoid arrested development closeted in a time-capsule. Life is not and cannot be static but it has to be dynamic.

Vish's proposition was that everybody lives and encouraged to live to their abilities which indirectly maximizes benefits to the humankind. Those who work hard will get higher benefits personally per New-Age tenets.

According to Maria, a diverse and inclusive social fabric was referred to a society or community that was made up of individuals with different backgrounds, perspectives, beliefs, cultures, races, ethnicities, and sexual orientations. It was a community where everyone felt accepted, valued, and respected, regardless of their inherent differences with dignity.

In such a community, everyone had equal opportunities to participate and contribute, and discrimination and prejudice were minimized. This kind of social fabric was important for promoting harmony and unity, fostering innovation and creativity, and creating a sense of belonging for all members of the community.

The New-Age Core team knew, building a diverse and inclusive social fabric required effort from all members of the community. This included promoting equality, understanding, and tolerance, and actively working to remove barriers that prevent certain groups from fully participating in society. It also required ongoing education, re-training and dialogue to ensure that everyone's voices were heard and that everyone was aware of the importance of diversity and inclusion.

The Core team implemented certain measures to achieve a diverse and inclusive social fabric. This required a multifaceted approach and sustained effort from individuals, organizations, and institutions. To promote diversity and inclusiveness in a community these were the aspects that were addressed:

Education and Awareness, Encouraging Diversity in the Workplace, Challenging Bias and Prejudice, Providing Support and Resources, Building Inclusive Communities, etc.

It's important to note that achieving a diverse and inclusive social fabric was an ongoing process and required continuous effort from all members of the community.

The progressive paradigm shift in New-Age economics, cultures, and political systems by incorporating diverse and inclusive social fabric into the common thought brought up the structures or philosophical frameworks to everyday life in the age of 22nd century.

Maria spearheaded the New-Age Social Fabric as envisaged by Vish with her relentless effort to bring in equitability and fairness to the New-Age societies at large. She along with the Core team instituted many measures as witnessed in the New-Age countries around the world.

Maria acknowledged significant changes in the global political systems that heralded the the emergence of new power centers around the world. USA, China, European Union have lost much of their hegemony with the onset of new power centers in South American Union with Uruguay as their leader, South Asian Union, with Nepal as their leader and African Union with Namibia as their leader.

The technological advancements, demographic shifts and environmental challenges resulted in local governance and participatory democracies. The citizen initiatives, local referendums, and other forms of direct and participatory democracies have been enabled by following the Vish’s New-Age Political and Administrative systems, social concepts, and economic systems.

Maria made sure to usher in decentralization of power with citizens having a real-time say in decision-making processes. This shift had been enabled by advancements in technology, which will allow for greater communication and coordination across communities globally.

The New-Age political systems allowed networked democracies to emerge, in which citizens were the decision-makers through advanced technology. This system would involve a network of local, regional, and global decision-making bodies that were interconnected through digital platforms, enabling citizens to participate in the democratic process on a more direct and meaningful levels.

In this New-Age democracies, citizens would be able to vote on policies and issues that affect their lives directly, with decisions made based on the consensus of the community. This would enable a more nuanced and localized approach to governance, where decisions were made based on the needs and priorities of specific communities rather than top-down, one-size-fits-all policies.

To make this system work, advanced quantum technology infrastructure was deployed to implement secure mobile online voting systems, decentralized and redundant databases, advanced AI analytics tools, and real-time citizen participation.

In addition to the direct democracies other political systems too emerged, by following Vish New-Age tenets, that prioritize sustainability and equality, such as a circular economy-based systems or common minimum programs. These systems would prioritize the long-term health of the planet and the well-being of all citizens globally, rather than short-term gains for a few.

In the New-Age economic systems resources would be managed and distributed in a way that minimizes waste and maximizes reuse, reducing the environmental impact of human activity. The resources and services that are essential to human well-being, such as healthcare and education, would be treated as public goods rather than commodities, ensuring that everyone has access to them regardless of their ability.

Maria emphasizes that Vish propounded New-Age political systems encourage a common goal: creating a more participatory and equitable society that prioritizes sustainability and the well-being of all citizens. The fundamental principles of transparency, accountability, and citizen participation would be at the core of all of them.

The New-Age political and governance system was called "global governance." It is a system of cooperation between various governments, and civil society organizations to address the challenges of the 21st century. Global governance was a complex network of institutions and organizations that worked together to achieve common goals.

Chapter 3 - Fairness in worldly matters

Scene 3.1 - Food/Clothing/Shelter

"Guaranteed universal subsistence Entitlements along with awards and rewards that are strictly tied to personal accomplishments was what Vish wished for humanity," says Ms. Grace.

Ms. Grace is from Namibia. Grace born in Namibia knew human suffering. She was a direct descendant of the Herero survivors of what many historians consider the "first genocide of the 20th century". Colonists subjected populations there to dispossession, deportation, forced labor, racial segregation, and discrimination. They claimed it as the first man-made extinction of a fellow tribe. There was an attempted justice done recently when the descendants got reparations. From a landfall reparations verdict, they awarded large amounts to surviving victims even though of the next generation. Viswas suggestively proclaims, “Justice served at all is Justice redeemed!”. Many of the beneficiary groups both from Herero and Nama, with Grace being the major donor, generously donated those funds to the New-Age Ideology propagation among other humanitarian causes.

Grace, a Herero descendant, worked with passion for the help of the New-Age movement in Namibia and other African countries. The nation recognized Ms. Grace as a modern pillar of the new Age Namibia.

Vish, with his New-Age ideology, devised several mechanisms to avoid the reality of people becoming lazy, which was a real possibility when subsistence help was guaranteed. He devised several mechanisms that motivate people to get up to work and work hard. Dr. Grace notes that "LifeScore, Entitlements, Honor, Recognition, No Inheritance" were motivators and mechanisms with checks and balances.

Grace lived in Walvis Bay, which is near the Dunes Mall and Bird Sanctuary. She avidly watched birds in their natural habitats across the world when not in research labs. Living in the bay-area, the abundant bird-life including flamingos, pelicans, Damara Terns, and other seasonal birds from the area easily fed Grace’s interest.

Grace flew from Walvis Bay Airport (WVB) in Walvis Bay to Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH) in Windhoek, the capital city of Namibia. Before connecting with a flight to meet with Dr. YoloMunk, Dr. Grace made a stop in Windhoek city where Mr. Antony Lubo, Ms. Beti Amira, Ms. Veronica Clark, Mr. Paul Tempr, and Ms. Lea were gathering.

Mr. Antony Lubo was from the capital city, Gaborone of Botswana, a liberal country.

Ms. Beti Amira was from Rwanda. She was a parliamentarian. She was also the exponent in traditional highly choreographed Intore dance.

Ms. Veronica Clark was from Niger, the largest and poorest country in West Africa. In her childhood, she worked in the uranium ore mines.

Mr. Paul Tempr was an Amazigh from Morocco, the indigenous people of North Africa, west of the Nile Valley.

They all adored Grace and loved Vish's New-Age Ideologies. Each told stories of Grace and her accomplishments. They were very proud of her, especially since she was one of them and who had a history like them of deprivation, oppression, and not being born into rights or riches. But she got herself well educated, fought her way up in society and now she was a commanding guide to many countries around the world which wants to embrace Vish's New-Age Ideologies and wanting to bring humane culture into their societies.

They held the meeting at a house of a close friend of Paul. It was in a neighborhood called Olympia, an affluent part of East Windhoek. There were ten people, including Antony, Paul, Veronica, Beti, Paul's friend Ms. Rooky, the host, including Grace. Lea was going to join them in an hour who has just landed at Hosea Kutako International Airport. Lea’s confidante Lin accompanied her.

Ms. Grace explains that humanity has evolved by addressing what was lacking now and how to secure that missed aspect of their lives into the future. Ms. Grace laughingly says everyone needs CHEFS, an acronym she uses playfully for Clothing, Healthcare, Education, Food and Shelter (Security/Safety). She explained, drawn from Vish's New-Age Ideology, that humans evolved from securing food for a living to clothing for dignity, to a shelter for safety, to healthcare for wellness, and then securing a minimum education for sustained wellbeing, etc. Grace said to the group, "now humanity's urgent need was to discuss climate protection for safety and preservation of humanity". Ms. Grace pointed out that only a few sections of the population across the globe have benefited from lop-sided developments, resulting in the loss of respect and dignity of life.

Grace got into eloquence and gave a sort of lecture to that small gathering.

Food, clothing, shelter, and healthcare are among the basic needs of life's existence along with minimum Education which was up to 12th grade. New-Age Ideology made needs as basic and life's subsistence needs. This ideology made life's subsistence a social guarantee and a responsibility of the governments to their citizens. And it's the responsibility of people to offer their share of help to others. Viswas says the very act of help to the fellow beings was to follow New-Age Ideologies.

The state allocated the subsistence needs and funded 100%. No one needs to worry about the sustenance level of Food, Clothing, and Shelter along with 100% healthcare and basic education. The governments taking part in the New-Age Ideology made sure their population gets sustenance fulfillment.

Grace explains the societal sustenance and subsistence levels for clarity and guidance. The subsistence level is mandatory basic allocations for food, clothing, shelter, health and education (CHEFS). Grace further said, “Since the quality of the basic needs were only highly subjective and dependent on the holding cultures and geographies, the allocation was at the subsistence level and, according to the local people's wishes. Allocation of CHEFS over and above the basic levels, categorized as sustenance, depended on the LifeScore of the individual based on the deeds of the person as measured by the Action Formulae deduced from Vish's New-Age Ideology.”

Namibia was an African country and, from the recent legacy, was one of the freest and most democratic countries in Africa. It had a straightforward choice to embrace New-Age Ideology, which was considered the most humane and progressive ideology ever. Vish explained that New-Age Ideology emphasized holistic human health and well-being and was a logical outcome of human history.

Mr. Antony Lubo, Ms. Beti Amira, Ms. Veronica Clark, and Mr. Paul Tempr are among the prominent activists, recognized African continent-wide, who worked closely with Dr. Grace Rukaro to bring about the changes in the system in Namibia.

Grace, working with people from different levels and backgrounds from the cross-section of the society, made sure that the new government instituted the constitutional guarantees to the population for the basic needs. The basic needs include subsistence level food, clothing, shelter, full healthcare, and basic education, dignity, and respect in human interactions. Grace was a huge believer in hard work and consequent rewards based on the New-Age LifeScore.

Ms. Rooky served the group of ten with tea and coffee that she roasted and ground in front of them. The freshness and distinctness of aroma were all around the room. Host Ms. Rooky brought what Grace recommended - the coffee beans from North Africa and tea from the South.

Ms. Lea came in around that time to the house. She was to conduct the sessions with Grace's team in Olympia. Lea liked the tea very much and drank in a rather large cup by local standards.

People across many nations responded well to the “Theory of Social Everything” that Dr. Lea, the Human Geographer, propounded. Lea says "Aristotle may have said Man is a social animal… but with the time man has evolved and social aspects have evolved too. Man has become an unsocial animal." Dr. Lea asserted that Vish's idea of human wellbeing in current times was not tied to traditional social behaviors of first-person acknowledgment. Lea says "Vish's idea of human wellbeing in current times was in fact a collective well-being in a disconnected fashion. The accomplishments did not need acknowledgments in the first-person. It's achieved in accompaniment of the results and automatic LifeScore changes."

Lea believes people should not falsely or insincerely praise good deeds, since it will automatically recognize those selfless acts for the LifeScore awards, and the resulting rewards will benefit the person. Lea, working with Lin, created the failsafe feedback mechanism so that the corruption or deception will not creep into the LifeScore Acknowledgement system.

Lea details the 22nd-century social behaviors by bringing in the prevalent and current advanced technology which differentiates the current times from previous times. Humanity can become one by choosing to stay impersonal. This new paradigm of “disconnected everywhere” makes sure that people don't build egos that only crumble like a pack of cards. Current social systems built most relationships on selfishness and with an agenda. Lea quotes some lines from Vish's book which all the attendees read avidly.

Lea also mentions with this New-Age “disconnected everywhere” paradigm, the populations don’t need validation from each other and hence populations jettisoned need for the Trust, the corner stone until the end of 21st century. Lea noted this was an enormous change in cultures and societies across the world's populations. The advancements in technologies made this possible in the Core team's implementation of New-Age Ideology.

Grace, Lea, Paul, Veronica, Beti, and Antony continued to discuss the progress of New-Age Ideology implementations in Namibia. They focused on the changes in wellness and Social aspects in detail. The New-Age Namibia came in right after Uruguay of its own adoption of New-Age Ideology. Right now, in the year 2100, all these six New-Age Countries are still adapting to the new way of leading lives. They all agree it is a much better way of leading lives. The new-age governance promises to be the next page in humanistic evolution.

Viswas declares that Vish's New-Age Ideology, and its revolutionary aspects of Economy, Technology, Politics, Education, and Healthcare have contributed to the success of New-Age societies in these countries. These New-Age cultures are on the verge of attaining the ideal society status in real life.

Scene 3.2 - Safety/Security

After the meeting ended with a local team in Olympia, an affluent district of Windhoek the capital of Namibia, Grace and Lea were left for themselves. They left Ms. Rooky's place in the night at around 12:30 am and took a taxi to Lea's hotel near Eros Airport. The taxi driver was very friendly. She introduced herself as Lima and without wasting much time starts off by explaining the emission-less technology that her taxi used. She said her friend was an environmental engineer and developed emission-free engines that drive automobiles. Grace and Lea could see how proud Lima was when she contributed to the carbon-free environment. It cost about $ 200 USD, a little on the costly side but Grace thought to reward the goodness as in the driver’s quality of service and overall carbon-emission friendly taxi ride.

Lea reserved a room for Grace too. They checked into their respective rooms without any hiccups at the reception desk. It was a young white lady who was very polite and introduced herself as Adonis. She seemed like in her late twenties and very proficient in English for a German-looking lady. Grace and Lea agreed to wait for each other in the lobby area in the morning the next day. They had a good night's sleep and woke up fresh in the morning. Went out and sat in the breakfast area on the large terrace with a huge canopy.

“Good morning, ladies”, Adonis came up to them. She offered a fresh basket of Whole Wheat Brown Bread and said “Have a nice breakfast! A waiter will be with you shortly to take orders.” Grace and Lea thanked her.

It's cozy and had a good nature view of mountains that are not too far away and not very high either. These mountains are all around the city and provided a very scenic beauty to the town.

Both sat out and ordered some local breakfast items from the Snack basket, Fruit basket, and Freshly Roasted Gourmet Coffee.

The safety and security of human existence are of paramount importance. Vish questions "Is there a next step in evolution without safety and security? People exist because they survived! They survived because they had safety and security."

It is one of the fundamental needs of human beings in its progressive evolution. Grace explains, in general, safety tends to be more focused on protecting individuals from harm, while security tends to be more focused on protecting assets from threats. Safety and security are crucial for human well-being because they provide the foundation for individuals and societies to thrive. These offer Physical Safety, Emotional Well-being, Social Participation, Economic Prosperity, and Human Rights. Overall, safety and security are fundamental to human well-being because they provide the foundation for individuals and societies to thrive physically, emotionally, socially, economically, and in terms of human rights.

Grace and the Core team recognized the importance of social and physical safety and security and followed the spirit of Vish in developing frameworks for Safety and Security. Some threats are man-made and some natural. The core team knew these as two sides of the same coin. Some of the Man-made threats are the destruction of nature, threatening one another, and indifference to fellow human beings' wellbeing. These acts can be avoided if people are holistically aware of the resultant detrimental aspects.

Grace recognizes the importance of participation by the people. She never lets participation slip by and never yields to notoriously simple indifference and chosen ignorance. This is much like the all-for-one and one-for-all principle followed generally by soldiers in the war. Grace says keeping the flock together is like weighing the frogs… they keep jumping off the scale. Flock is people who time-to-time need various degrees of direction and infusion of the goals.

Grace with help from her team in Africa devised ways to address the man-made threats at the societal level by also including health and psychosocial aspects. Lea was here especially to help in that regard. She was here to help sort out issues in Namibia the New-Age country which was well underway in implementing New-Age Governance and other Ideologies from Vish.

"The economic backwardness makes it all the more difficult," says Grace when realizing that people tend to care about themselves first and to the last possible moment. The lack of progress among the population makes people very skeptical of the good intentions and policies of the governments. This is where Maria and her team with Political prowess offer help to New-Age Ideology nations.

The New-Age Core team had created guidelines on how to resolve natural threats such as natural disasters and even extinction-level events. They have made elaborate guidelines for outer earth colonies. These guidelines provide pathways to conduct oneself in any situation whether it's on Earth or Space faring colonies. The core team follows the guidance from Vish that states “Preserve Humanity and humaneness at all times and all costs!” This dictates safety and security at the forefront. Vish’s famous quote from the book is, "When you feel safe and secure you act humanely!" Grace and the Core team make safety and security foundational aspects and offer mechanisms to include these in the New-Age Governance framework.

The core team knows that safety and security are witnessed when everyone they interact with is looking to help others first. This is easier stated than performed. When basic needs are met people tend to act beyond those needs. The wants come into the picture. Helping others come into the picture. Creating opportunities for others will start to happen. All this becomes second nature when the key needs are met. People need to realize that these needs are met only with active participation by every individual in society.

Grace and other Core team members know that just wishing for something good and wanting an idealistic society does not build one. So, Grace and the Core team came up with policies and frameworks that will be implemented by the New-Age governments. They set expectations for the populations using the New-Age guiding principles to build interdependent and hardworking cultures.

Grace notes, "Social threats are in the form of greed, mistrust, jealousy, and selfishness in interactions and the resultant harassment and physical aggression. Safety and security are achieved when these social threats are tackled and removed". Grace with Lea created the guiding principles that will make seemingly simple acts to help tackle social threats. These acts are made sure to be understood easily and followed with ease. The principles and actions had universal appeal and applicability.

* * *

Scene 3.3 - Dignity/Respect

Grace knew only too well that any amount of wealth would not buy dignity and respect. These qualities were earned over a period. The LifeScore was a direct measure of these qualities. People with higher LifeScore values were bestowed with dignity and respect whether it was in direct or indirect contact as was in vogue in the 22nd century.

Lea and Grace worked together extensively on how to bring about the much-wanted dignity and respect to everyone’s lives. Lea was born into a rich, orthodox catholic, and very caring family. She did not have to struggle for anything in her life. Her life was quite the opposite of Grace's in terms of worldly fortunes and social fortunes. But Lea was always compassionate and humane to the core. She was attracted to Vish's New-Age Ideology early on in her college years. She fully embraced New-Age concepts as she thinks they offer precise solutions to humanity in the 22nd century. Just like other members of the Core team, Ms. Lea believes New-Age philosophy is the answer to leap forward into the 22nd century and beyond for balanced human lives.

Lea's work in "Theory of Social Everything" acknowledges the lack of need for in-person contact as very much in line with the lifestyles of current times in the 22nd century. She thinks it's plausible that for the first time in history, humans have the option of leading their lives entirely without physical contact and leading lives without eye contact. It’s because the technological revolutions and the New-Age Ideologies made it possible to live completely distanced and remote from one another. This was made possible with advancements in holography, beaming intents, digital transactions, procreation without sex, changing physical desires, messaging-to-brain, auto-discovery of emotions, etc.

Lea helped create new social norms. The first step was just acknowledging the current state of humanity and how much humanity has evolved historically speaking. With this Lea helps people understand what more progression we can achieve to get to the next level in the evolution of humanity.

Grace and the Core team knew the traditional definition of dignity and respect needed to be redefined to accommodate New-Age norms. Today in the 22nd century most things had become digital in interactions and physical contact became almost extinct except for sexual desires. Physically hurting disappeared and even killings had become extremely uncommon. The paradigm shift in social interactions needed to be acknowledged and positively adapted to. The family system had moved into co-habitation-on-consent. People were encouraged to think independently while keeping the collective good paramount and for the greater good of society.

As the adage goes "Give Respect and Take Respect", treat everyone with respect which inherently offers you respect in return. Dignity is just being you. Respect is what others recognize as "what you got". All the New-Age Ideologies are closely aligned with LifeScore. LifeScore, one simple numerical score, shows the dignity and respect and much more a person has. It's one measure that embodies hardworking nature and helping nature at once.

Grace made sure that dignity and respect, the overarching aspects, were recognized in the implementations in the material world using Sociology, and Administration. Working with Maria and Lea, Grace narrowed down the seemingly abstract notions of dignity and respect and worked these aspects into the objective realization of the LifeScore. The guiding principles from Vish's book make it easier to understand and follow the New-Age Ideology. Vish envisaged a system of LifeScore in which the differences among people’s characteristics were just ignored. There were no distinctions to be made based on the various differences that existed among populations.

Up until recently in the 22nd century, all countries had had some form of discrimination meted out to their populations. These socially evolved unjust constructs were handed down over the ages. The discriminations were based on differences such as Race, Class, Caste, Sexual orientation, Skin color, Age, Religion, Nationality, etc. Grace understands this only too well, being the direct descendant of the Herero race. Besides, Africa has been the hotbed of discrimination against girls for centuries now.

Grace created various grass-root organizations across Arica to address these discriminations against Girls and women. She got several educational and financial trusts to manage various projects for the minority and weaker sections of the population. She created a few self-help organizations, the top of them being "Equal Girl Africa Inc. (EGAI)", and "Quality Health Africa Inc. (QHAI)". Namibia was one of many countries across the world to get help from these organizations. It's because of the implementation of Vish's New-Age Governance and Ideologies, meting out the dignity and respect had become rather easy in Namibia.

Grace and Kirl are the top functionaries of girls' upliftment endeavors. Grace donated huge sums of money to the corpus fund. Kirl provided spiritual exposure for the members of these self-help organizations.

Equal Girl Africa Inc. (EGAI) works for the education of girls and brings in all the things that are required to support their education. The girls needed books and supplies, dresses, food, tutoring, health, and finally blessings from their parents. EGAI provides for all these needs directly or indirectly under the aegis of the committee at each unit of the implementation. The unit of implementation was usually the local school district.

Quality Health Africa Inc. (QHAI) worked for the health of the population. Grace and Sparq were the top functionaries of this health attainment endeavor especially in the Middle East and African countries. While Grace herself was at the forefront of health research, Sparq was the enabler of supporting education, health, and medical benefits that reach the populations.

These organizations were making a real difference at the ground level. Efforts of these organizations resulted in equality for girls. As a direct result of this effort, girls now achieved higher education and better health in Namibia and many African countries that received the help. They realized dignity and respect. One measure of proof was whether there were women and girls from walks of life and whether there was safety and security present for women and girls. It was affirmative for both questions in the New-Age countries.

Populations thank The Core team, and the Core team thanks Vish's New-Age Ideology.

Scene 3.4 - Hard work/Accomplishments

Viswas comments "Hard work is at the root of progress. It's behind spectacular achievements. Lack of hard work would not result in not-so-spectacular happenings. The mundane actions are like waking up every morning and indulging in routine but not stressful actions that result in not-so-noteworthy happenings. Such things can be receiving children from school for example. But earning the sustenance needs of our lives like food, clothing, etc. does need some work. It's the one who realizes the fact that hard work pays off does earn a great deal of respect and greater achievements".

Grace believes that what's due to you was directly proportional to your participation and contribution. This was following Vish's LifeScore which, for the first in human history, codified and valued the existence of Human Life and was defined as the "Sum of Actions for Self and Selfless added with weights (+add/-subtract/*multiply) for the actions that correspond to the community they live in.” Grace explains, "There were Selfless and Spiritual actions and thoughts for others that were beneficial to others. These actions that benefit others and that connect and bind people together in a real and metaphysical way were valued higher than actions and thoughts for self. Selfish actions were abhorred in the New-Age way of living".

The core belief is Life is Simple and is the Sum of its Actions. Viswas in Indian languages means it is a belief, conviction, and wisdom all added into one thought. Vish showed the Path through the influence of an Ideology that had already achieved the taste of success in the 22nd century across the globe. His seminal work New-Age Ideology was a work based on Humanology and rooted in human well-being. New-Age Ideology had the foundation in liberalism, progressivism, collectivism, and well-being.

Viswas says, “According to Vish, in a cause-and-effect paradigm, Human existence was the cause, and human actions and consequent results were the effects". This ideology contradicts philosophies such as Karma, Destiny, and life having a meaning.

Grace with the Core team and her team from Africa drew out an elaborate treatise detailing examples of hard work and related accomplishments. She points to the man-made wonders, technological achievements, social revolutions, and political adjustments from the history of mankind to motivate people to continue to work hard. Grace says No hard work goes to waste. It always shows the results. Grace emphasizes quoting Vish, “Hard work is the cause and Change is the effect”.

Grace knows the fragile nature of human beings that could slip into reveling in laziness in the new age of guaranteed sustenance. She thinks LifeScore was a simple yet powerful formula to be the guiding light for people to follow the right path. Grace with her team further codified a simple checklist for citizens to follow so they worked hard in their everyday lives according to their ability and skill. With the carrot and stick analogy, LifeScore was the singular representation for both. The higher LifeScore you had, the carrot of a better life, sweetened with entitlements, was possible. While the lower LifeScore you had, the stick of a bare minimum in life, bitterness with lesser things, leaves you wanting for more which in turn results in you choosing to work harder.

Grace with her team in Namibia participated in the planning sessions to create the public works programs such as "Food-for-work" which pays workers in food, "Cash-for-work" which pays workers in cash, and "Score-for-spirituality" which rewards LifeScore measures for spiritual work such as teachings, research, leadership, entrepreneurship, meditation, etc.

These programs were tremendously successful. This had multiple benefits such as making people work and showing pathways to get higher LifeScore. These kinds of programs resulted in addressing issues such as directionless and goalless lives for children and adults alike. They had also infused cash into the economy which in turn resulted in economic transactions. These programs have been proven to raise individual, family, and community incomes and various basic needs of populations in New-Age countries.

At the policy framework level, these programs possessed the advantages of targeting the poor and encouraging local economic growth since they support local food producers and economies. These programs strengthen long-term food security by improving local infrastructure, manufacturing activities, and agricultural potential.

Grace had these programs collaborate with various government bodies and local community projects. These programs provided manpower to various agencies. This also kept the employment addressed at the local level. Agriculture, Horticulture, Dairy, Manufacturing, and other economic sectors got benefitted from these programs.

Grace with Adit's algorithms made sure that the participation and hard work were captured into the LifeScore metric, so the population gets the corresponding and due entitlements and rewards.

Vish drew up the LifeScore formula to make people work for themselves and at the same time motivate people to work for others. The inherent nature of entitlements and rewards makes people get up and work. The harder one works the sweeter the results one enjoys.

New-Age Governments devised plans that reward people for their hard work based on the LifeScore. The scoring mechanism of LifeScore was rather nifty. The work to be accomplished was categorized as for self or for selfless. The reward was mapped out along with the weightage that was assigned per local committees and their community needs.

LifeScore entitles a person to certain worldly things such as a Bike, a Car, and a House with varying degrees of luxury attached. Grace gave some examples:

1. Below provided a good score with a good weightage -

- Driving to get own groceries

- Construction of own house

- Teaching own children

- Farming for own consumption

2. Below offered a high score and a high weightage -

- Teaching in Institutions

- Providing healthcare at hospitals

- Working on cooperative farming

- Researching in labs

- Earning medals in sports

- Earning recognition for their communities, villages, cities, and countries

- Giving spiritual discourses

- Enduring hardship for the benefit of others

Grace says, "The value system of entitlements and rewards evolved with times and per individual societies since people and cultures valued things differently". Grace opined, "LifeScore implementation seemed like a system that was taking the place of systems like Capitalism, Communism, or Socialism at once". She mentioned what Vish prophesied, "It's time to sound the death knell to Capitalism, Communism, or Socialism". Vish said, "LifeScore is a Just System for fairness and equality! LifeScore imparts Justice to the population!!"

Scene 3.5 - Entitlements/Rewards

Lea and Grace were knowledgeable bloggers who extensively wrote and discussed "Just Entitlements and Rewards" in the context of modern life in the 22nd century.

Entitlements, in the New-Age, were rights that someone was entitled to receive based on their prorated livelihood in the New-Age country. This constitutes sustenance level claims of CHEFS.

Whereas rewards were granted as a form of recognition for one's individual achievements, represented by one part of the LifeScore formula, which factored in one's hard work and efforts toward self-improvement. Higher rewards were seen as a form of recognition for one's hard work and efforts in service to others, representing the other part of the LifeScore formula. The systematization of both entitlements and rewards served as a motivator for people to engage in activities that would benefit both themselves and society.

Viswas reminds Vish's definition of human life "Human Life is defined as the "Sum of Actions for Self and Selfless". Vish defined the meaning of life in a rather mathematical precision as below:

Life = Sum of Actions [Self (Y) + Selfless (Z) [*] +Context score]

Self -> Actions for Self (including actions for survival)

Selfless -> Actions for others that bind people in a real and metaphysical way (Spiritual)

Y, Z -> Societally accepted weights

+/- Context score -> accumulate every action; Hurting is -1, Helping is +1. For harsher measures use the multiplier effect (*). It is to be determined by local culture, societies, times, geographies, and wisdom.

Viswas says, according to Vish, all actions related to survival were inherently both self-oriented and selfless-oriented and therefore were given a foundational constant score in the LifeScore scheme of human existence. Those who were incapable of contributing to their own survival were given a Child score. Additionally, Vish suggested that each society had the ability to customize and tailor the LifeScore formula to fit the needs of its individual members.

Grace was a strong proponent of Vish's LifeScore system, as she believed it offered a fair and just means of recognizing and rewarding individuals based solely on their actions and resultant outcomes. This system connected the nature of hard work to its corresponding rewards in a clear and discernible way, with selfless actions being particularly valued more. Grace emphasized the importance of actions and thoughts directed towards benefiting others in a selfless and spiritual manner, such as offering prayers or connecting people on both physical and metaphysical levels. Such actions were accorded higher value than those directed toward personal gain.

Grace collaborated with the Core team to create a comprehensive treatise that documented various achievements along with their corresponding entitlements and rewards. These achievements encompassed claims to both tangible and intangible possessions, as well as claims to respect and dignity. By leveraging the LifeScore platform, individuals could experience a sense of inclusion in these coveted realms.

Viswas provides some examples of LifeScore points and how those were awarded for various actions, such as piloting patients to a hospital, offering tours of a manufacturing facility, assisting physically disabled individuals with transportation, caring for the elderly, volunteering in nursing, maintaining a personal vegetable garden, and grocery shopping for family members. These actions could result in points being awarded for either self or selfless behavior.

Individuals with a higher LifeScore number had access to desirable assets, such as expansive buildings, luxurious vehicles, and exotic vacations. Moreover, a higher score provided individuals with the flexibility to choose their preferred type of work and offered access to prestigious awards and medals of honor. Each score was meticulously recorded, stored, and updated in real-time, enabling efficient administration of entitlements and rewards. Adit was instrumental in developing a computational framework for the system, which was praised for its impartiality and user-friendliness.

Grace acknowledged the necessity of social safety net programs to aid the populace. During the era of New-Age Governance, governments had already met the basic needs for survival, and the LifeScore system aimed to establish a precise safety net mechanism. The LifeScore platform addressed the impetus, encouragement, inducement, inspiration, and justification for individuals to labor for the betterment of others. Vish recognized the difficulty of inspiring individuals to work diligently for the benefit of others when their essential sustenance requirements had already been fulfilled. Therefore, selfless actions had to be thoroughly defined and incorporated to guarantee the triumph of these initiatives.

Adit's technological architecture and framework facilitated the gathering of data from various sources through sensors, and his algorithms consolidated and evaluated the information to generate the metrics and measurements necessary for the LifeScore programs. His contributions were instrumental in guaranteeing secure data collection, storage, and transmission.

At the same time, Grace, Lea, and the other members of the Core team formulated policy guidelines for categorizing and assigning value to work, which were integrated into the LifeScore system.

The Core team understood the importance of community involvement in the success of the LifeScore system. As a result, they provided citizens with metrics to encourage feedback and awareness. Community leaders also played a significant role in providing input on the classification and categorization of parametric items, allowing the community to have the final say on the components of work participation.

Vish's vision for a just and equitable society was centered on the concept of "just rewards and entitlements." By requiring hard work and achievements for social benefits, individuals were acknowledged and compensated for their contributions and efforts. Resources and opportunities were allocated based on merit rather than social status or privilege.

The Core team developed policy guidelines for the subsistence budget, which relied on historical estimates as follows: Shelter - 25%, Transportation - 15%, Healthcare - 15%, Food - 15%, Learning - 10%, Clothing - 8%, Miscellaneous expenses - 7%, and Entertainment - 5%. These allocations totaled to 100%.

The aforementioned allocation was subject to slight variations depending on an individual's age and cultural background. However, standard age brackets included 0-10, 10-20, 20-40, 40-60, 60-80, 80-100, and 100 and above.

Viswas clarifies that the LifeScore mechanism is applicable only to individuals who are 18 years or older, as New-Age Governance already provides Universal CHEFS (decent Food, Healthcare, and basic level Shelter, Clothing, and Education) until adulthood. To obtain rewards and awards based on the LifeScore formula, adult citizens must work for them. Grace emphasizes the crucial role of CHEFS in fulfilling the basic needs of individuals, while noting that Vish recognized the importance of Education as a fundamental human need.

Scene 3.6 – Justice and Spiritualty

Vish, in his vision of New-Age Governance, advocated for the incorporation of a fifth pillar called "Spirituality" to complement the existing pillars of democracy: Legislature, Executive, Judiciary, and Press. This addition was met with strong support and agreement from the Core team and New-Age countries, who embraced the ideology proposed in the New-Age Governance by Vish.

The inclusion of spirituality as a pillar within New-Age Governance signifies a recognition of the holistic well-being in the functioning of a democratic society. It acknowledges that human fulfillment and progress cannot be solely achieved through political, economic, and institutional mechanisms but also require attention to the spiritual dimensions of individuals.

Grace and the Core team, being believers in this ideology, understood that spirituality involves an exploration of one's inner self, actions, values, purpose, and the recognition of the interconnectedness of all beings. By incorporating spirituality into the governance framework, they aimed to create a society that values the well-being and growth of individuals beyond material and external factors.

By embracing spirituality, the legislative branch (Legislature) would enact laws that uphold values of compassion, equity, and spiritual growth. The executive branch (Executive) would implement policies that prioritize the well-being and spiritual development of the population. The judicial branch (Judiciary) would ensure justice and fairness while considering the spiritual aspects of individuals in their rulings. The press (Press) would play a role in promoting awareness, dialogue, and dissemination of spiritual values within society.

Together, they worked towards building a society where spirituality was recognized as a vital aspect of governance, and the pursuit of individual and collective growth encompasses not only material progress but also the fulfillment of the human spirit. By integrating spirituality into governance, New-Age Governance seeks to foster a more comprehensive and balanced approach to human welfare.

The introduction of spirituality as a pillar within New-Age Governance seeks to create a harmonious balance among all aspects of human existence. It acknowledges that a society's progress is not solely determined by economic, political, social, and legal factors but also by the spiritual fulfillment and overall well-being of its individuals.

By embracing spirituality as an integral part of governance, New-Age Governance endeavors to foster a society where the pursuit of human well-being encompasses not only external aspects but also the inner growth and fulfillment of each individual. This holistic approach aims to create a more compassionate, inclusive, and harmonious society, where the principles of democracy are strengthened and aligned with the deeper aspirations of humanity.

The Judiciary and the judicial system, as the guardian of justice and protector of rights, should prioritize human well-being in its role. It should ensure equal access to justice and fair dispensation of justice for all, regardless of socioeconomic status, gender, ethnicity, or any other characteristic. The judiciary should interpret and apply laws in a manner that upholds fundamental rights, promotes social justice, and protects the dignity and well-being of individuals. It should act as a check on potential abuses of power, including those by other branches of government, and provide timely and fair resolution of disputes. The judiciary should also proactively address systemic injustices and promote legal reforms that contribute to the well-being of society as a whole.

An equitable Justice System that was based on independence, rehabilitation, restitution, and reintegration (rather than punishment), transparency, accountability, accessibility restorative principles that serves the well-being and dignity of all members of society. This approach has resulted in lower transgressions and even lower recidivism rates.

The effectiveness of a legal system ultimately depends on how well it was able to serve the needs of its citizens, promote justice and fairness, and uphold the rule of law. Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods, such as mediation and arbitration, offer a more collaborative and cost-effective approach to resolving legal disputes. A pragmatic approach to an ideal Justice System that serves human well-being as the fundamental criteria would involve several key components such as accessible, fair and impartial, transparent and accountable, focused on restorative justice and rehabilitation rather than punishment.

The New-Age justice system upholds human well-being as its primary objective and as a fundamental criterion while valuing dignity, respect, and overall welfare that would incorporate the LifeScore formula in its delivery of justice. The LifeScore formula was designed to reward individuals for their selfless and productive actions towards the betterment of society. Therefore, it could be integrated into the justice system as a way to incentivize good behavior and discourage criminal activities.

For instance, individuals who commit minor crimes can be given an opportunity to work towards improving their LifeScore as an alternative to traditional punishment. This could include volunteering in their community, participating in job training programs, or completing educational courses. By doing so, offenders can not only contribute to society, but also improve their own prospects for a better life.

Furthermore, the LifeScore system can also be used to determine the severity of punishment for criminal offenses. For instance, individuals with high LifeScores may be given more lenient sentences compared to those with low scores. This can ensure that the justice system was fair and equitable, and not biased towards individuals with social status or privilege.

A pragmatic approach to the ideal Justice System which serves human well-being as the fundamental criteria would involve a multifaceted approach that considers the diverse needs and circumstances of the population.

The Justice System would need to prioritize the progressive and liberal values of dignity, respect, and well-being for all individuals. This would require a system that was inclusive and non-discriminatory, and that upheld the human rights and freedoms of every individual. The Justice System would need to be designed to ensure that everyone was treated fairly and justly, and that the rule of law was upheld without exception. This would require a robust legal framework that is transparent, accountable, and accessible to all, regardless of social status or economic standing.

Finally, the system would need to be continuously monitored and evaluated to ensure that it is effective in serving the needs of the population. This would require a rigorous data collection and analysis system that tracks the outcomes of the Justice System and identifies areas for improvement and reform.

Overall, a justice system that prioritizes progressivism and liberalism is one that is rooted in the principles of dignity, respect, and human well-being. It is a system that focuses on rehabilitation and prevention, promotes restorative justice, protects individual rights and freedoms, and is transparent and accountable. Such a system provides a foundation for a just and equitable society, where all individuals are treated with dignity and respect, and have access to the opportunities and resources they need to thrive.

Chapter 4 – Dynamics of Consent, Courtship, and Family

Scene 4.1 - Consent/Courtship/Family progression

The social and cultural dimensions of familial progression were interconnected and mutually reinforcing. Cultural values and ethical frameworks play a pivotal role in shaping societal norms and behaviors, while simultaneously being influenced by social progress. Social and cultural progression is an ongoing process driven by the collective efforts of individuals, communities, and institutions. Examples of social and cultural progression can be seen throughout history and in contemporary society. Examples include the advancement of civil rights movements, the recognition and protection of LGBTQ+ rights, the promotion of gender equality, the development of environmental ethics and sustainability practices, and the promotion of intercultural dialogue and understanding. The future of families will be shaped by the complex interplay of cultural, social, economic, and technological factors that unfold over time.

Ms. Lea said that Personal and Social Relationships, whether psychological or physical, were highly important and desirable. Vish says, "A person was in isolation when disassociated with humanity even while living amongst them! One should work for communities and societies at large!". The consensual contract between individuals or between groups was of paramount importance for social exchanges, be it mundanely physical or enlighteningly spiritual. Among those, courtship and friendship were foundational in interpersonal relationships in New-Age Ideology. Social and group relationships were no less important because this was where it gets impersonal and focused on the greater good of the community.

Dr. Lea described the New-Age definition of family as follows: "A family is a consensual contract between two individuals, each assuming personal responsibilities and providing equal care to one another and to their children, whether biological or adopted until the children reach adulthood." There was no place for inheritance in the New-Age Ideology. Lea stressed that the removal of inheritance removed the ills of the grantor becoming selfish or the inheritor becoming lazy.

Lea emphasizes that New-Age LifeScore Credits have taken the form of the traditional currency in the New-Age Governance countries. Since it has an exchange value equal to the paper currency when it was not more, transactions had become easy and global. Accumulation of LifeScore points was possible with the hard work of the individual. It was not possible to hoard, to accumulate illegally, or selfishly. There was no shadow economy.

Viswas says, "Once a person dies, properties of physical nature get transferred to the state. There was no claim from the spouse or children or family. The person’s LifeScore does not carry over to anyone else not even to spouse or children." A gift or donation of one's LifeScore can only be voluntary. They can donate the credits to the State or to anyone else with a caveat that it’s not a quid pro quo transaction. The onus was on both parties to prove that the donation was genuine and one-way to the recipient with no attachments of return favors and under no duress. The New-Age Core team had huge personal credits and they donated credits regularly to the state from time to time per their comfort levels and according to the State's needs.

Liberal allowance of credits to family relationships and contract relationships strengthened the communities. One could have biological children, or one could have adopted children. HappyIn type of marriage brings individuals into the family type of relationship. When they had biological children, healthy DNA match permitting, or when they had adopted the children, the family grew. The New-Age paradigm generously awarded the LifeScore credits to individuals who were in family-type relationships. Individuals could share their LifeScore credits only during their living time. There was no Will nor bequeathing the Credits. Use it for personal, family, and State, or lose it to the State after the person died. The New-Age policies state, "LifeScore credits shall pass to the State upon the death of the individual". So it paid to be within relationships to accumulate and enjoy LifeScore value for mutual family benefits when they were alive. Similarly, people coming together as a group also got liberal LifeScore credits.

Vish introduced the concept of voluntary and happy choice relationships to New-Age cultures. He coined the term for the relationship as HappyChoice. Lea explained, "HappyChoice is the mechanism by which New-Age Governance created pathways for people to come together, like in marriages and purpose-specific groups." HappyChoice relationship allowed for higher weights in the LifeScore metric.

Ms. Lea and her team and The Core had drawn up frameworks for social contracts that cover all aspects of human life on Earth, on space colonies.

Vish had delved into the intricate dynamics of consent, courtship, and family within the realm of human relationships. Lea on her part, by examining the historical, cultural, and ethical dimensions of these concepts, aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of their significance in contemporary society. She highlighted the evolving notions of consent, explored the complexities of courtship rituals, and examined the diverse forms of family structures. Furthermore, ethical considerations related to consent, courtship practices, and family dynamics were critically analyzed.

Viswas says Vish profoundly influenced and contributed to the discourse surrounding the importance of consent, the complexities of courtship, and the diverse nature of families. She says consent, courtship, and family were fundamental aspects of human relationships, shaping the dynamics of societies throughout history. These concepts were deeply intertwined and had undergone significant transformations across different cultures and time periods. Understanding the complexities of consent, courtship rituals, and family structures was essential for fostering healthy relationships and promoting social harmony.

Lea examined the contemporary challenges related to consent, courtship, and family dynamics. She, along with the Core team, discussed issues such as consent education, the impact of digital technology on courtship, changing gender roles, and the recognition of diverse family structures. Furthermore, she explored potential future trends and the implications they had had on these dimensions, including the influence of social movements, evolving legal frameworks, and advancements in reproductive technologies.

Viswas concludes consent, courtship, and family were integral components of human relationships, each possessing its own complexities and nuances. He says, “Vish had explored the historical, cultural, and ethical dimensions of these concepts, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of their significance in contemporary society of 22nd Century.” It was through a deeper understanding of these dimensions that we could foster healthy, respectful, and inclusive relationships, contributing to the overall well-being of individuals and society as a whole. Moving forward, it was essential to continue the discourse surrounding consent, courtship, and family, acknowledging the evolving nature of these concepts and adapting to the ever-changing social landscape.

Scene 4.2 - Social Service Provider

In the New-Age Ideology, social service providers held significant recognition, respect, and value. Their role involved offering a broad spectrum of assistance, support, and resources to individuals, families, and communities. The various categories of social services, such as Humancare, Education, Skill, Science, Spiritual, Healthcare, Medicare, Entrepreneurial, Policing, Administration, Judicial, and more, had been assigned specific values and LifeScore weights.

Under the New-Age Governance framework, care practitioners were generously rewarded with substantial LifeScore credits. This acknowledgment reflected the importance placed on their compassionate and dedicated contributions to society. By assigning a high value to the social service provider role and providing ample recognition, the New-Age Governance encouraged and motivated individuals to choose and engage in caring professions which benefit humanity as a whole.

Counseling and mentoring held immense significance and purpose, making them highly valued resources sought after by individuals. Part of their appeal stemmed from the considerable importance placed on them within the LifeScore framework. These professionals played a vital role in guiding their mentees toward success in the modern era. Within the context of New-Age Governance, these services were recognized as integral to supporting and enhancing overall human well-being.

New-age ideologies encompassed a wide range of belief systems that emphasize spirituality, personal growth, holistic well-being, and a more interconnected worldview. These ideologies focused on concepts such as mindfulness, self-awareness, environmentalism, sustainability, and community building. They advocated for a shift in consciousness and values that prioritize the well-being of individuals, society, and the planet.

As these ideologies gained popularity and influence, social service providers had been actively incorporating their principles into their work. Social service providers include organizations, nonprofits, community centers, and individuals who worked to address societal needs, provide assistance to marginalized groups, and promote social justice.

Recognizing the relevance and efficacy of new-age ideologies, social service providers in New-Age Countries had begun integrating practices such as meditation, yoga, alternative healing modalities, and eco-friendly initiatives into their programs. These efforts aim to address the holistic needs of individuals and communities, going beyond traditional approaches that solely focused on material or economic well-being.

By adopting new-age principles, social service providers sought to promote a more holistic and sustainable approach to social and individual transformation. They acknowledged the interconnectedness of various issues such as poverty, mental health, environmental degradation, and social inequality and recognized that addressing these challenges required a multifaceted and integrated approach.

As a result, the recognition of new-age ideologies had led to increased support, funding, and collaboration with social service providers. Governments, philanthropic organizations, and individuals who aligned with these ideologies were more likely to invest in and support initiatives that incorporate holistic well-being, spirituality, and sustainability.

Furthermore, the recognition of new-age ideologies had influenced policy-making and the development of new frameworks for social service provision. Governments and institutions have started to acknowledge the importance of addressing the non-material needs of individuals and communities, recognizing that social well-being was not solely dependent on material wealth or economic development.

Viswas recognized, the growing recognition of new-age ideologies and their integration into social service provision reflects a broader shift in societal values towards a more holistic and sustainable approach to personal and collective well-being. It signifies a recognition of the interplay between the individual, the community, and the environment, and the potential for these ideologies to foster positive change on multiple levels.

Holistic Humancare in New Age ideology led to greater recognition for social service providers:

Holistic worldview - The New Age emphasis on interconnectedness of mind, body and spirit could promote appreciation for the multidimensional care given by social workers, therapists, etc.

Human potential - Belief in untapped human potentials lends validity to the role of counselors and mentors guiding self-actualization.

Non-judgment - New Age openness to alternative lifestyles and habits could reduce stigma around providers working with marginalized populations.

Integrative health - Blending spiritual, mental and physical wellness meshes with social services taking a holistic approach.

Self-help - New Age focus on self-improvement and self-care complements providers teaching life skills and resilience.

Environmentalism - Eco-consciousness in the New Age movement values social work advocating sustainability and justice.

Complementary healing - Acceptance of energies, auras and non-Western therapies opens trust of social service innovations.

Personal growth - Belief in continuous learning and human perfectibility elevates growth-oriented counseling.

Meaning seeking - Existential questions around purpose resonate with guidance from social workers on navigating life.

Emotional intelligence - New Age prioritizing of emotions and relationships requires skilled empathetic providers.

Viswas says, in this manner, the New Age worldview with multidimensional value of professional caregiving, counseling, and skill building offered through social services strives to achieve a highly humane approach to compassionate mentor-mentee relationship.

During the New-Age era, Ms. Lea highlighted that service to self and service to others was acknowledged with varying rewards. The principles of hard work and creativity held significant value and were duly recognized. To determine awards and rewards, the LifeScore metric employed weighted criteria to ensure a fair assessment.

Lea and the Core Team, following Vish's LifeScore methodology, devised a simple but powerful mechanism to value people's actions. Lea stated that two of the base tenets of social service were the roles of volunteers and non-profit organizations. She and the Core team found a high niche for these aspects in the social service provider sector. Volunteering individuals and non-profit personnel awarded liberal LifeScores per Vish's New-Age Ideology.

Volunteerism was encouraged from an early age. There was a projects and tasks master catalog comprised of works that can be chosen for volunteer services at all levels of age and governance.

Viswas emphasized that in the New-Age, helping actions were not only encouraged but also rewarded through credit weights. These weights were added or multiplied, either individually or exponentially, to reflect the magnitude of the actions. Conversely, actions that caused harm received inverse credit weights, resulting in a reduction of the LifeScore.

The credit weights assigned for service to others held greater significance. For instance, specific service or hard work might earn X number of credits. When the work is for oneself, it would receive Y number of credits. However, if the service is directed towards the family, the credits would be X+Y, and if it benefits others outside the family, the credits would be X*Y. The weights assigned to hard work varied across different societies and cultures, depending on whether it was for oneself or for others.

New-Age Governance dictated that the LifeScore formula incorporated weights based on an individual's specific cultural, social, and geographic contexts. This ensured that the assessment took into account the diverse values and priorities of different societies and cultures.

In the New-Age framework, certain professions are assigned higher weightage for their LifeScores due to the inherent benefits they bring to humanity. For instance, when a Science practitioner invents a process that creates potable water, their invention receives significant credit because it serves the larger population by addressing a critical need. Similarly, when a relationship practitioner devises new modes of social interactions that promote longer-lasting relationships, the benefits extend to humanity as a whole.

Likewise, discoveries made by Medicare practitioners, such as a new medicine that precisely alters DNA to enhance disease resistance or immunity, have far-reaching benefits for humanity. Consequently, professionals such as teachers, researchers, scientists, preachers, and managers receive higher weightage for their LifeScores due to their contributions towards causes that positively impact people in general.

Lea cites a real-life example involving Akenehi and Amelia, who came together as service providers in New Zealand to offer free training in activities like Scuba diving, Snorkeling, and athletic swimming. Due to the valuable service they provide without charge, they were granted permission to utilize various infrastructure facilities at no cost. As a result of their selfless contributions, both Akenehi and Amelia achieved high scores on the LifeScore metric, reflecting their positive impact on others.

With their impressive LifeScores, Akenehi and Amelia plan to utilize their achievements to acquire personal assets—an individual beach house and a yacht. Their dedication to community service has not only earned them recognition but also provided opportunities for personal fulfillment and reward.

The entire Core team members themselves were on the higher levels of the LifeScore achievers.

Scene 4.3 - Justice System - Civil/Criminal

Justice is fairness and equity within a social context bound by human rights and respect. Vish's dictum is, "Fundamental human rights ought to be protected and enforced. With the LifeScore methodology, people largely are enforcers by themselves. The independent judiciary deals with exceptions or complications."

Viswas comments that Vish's guidelines regarding the justice system are "Behaviors of fairness and compassion are supremely important in one's conduct. Individuals in society shall have equal access to wealth, opportunities, and social privileges. Infringement of freedoms is criminal. Hurting others mentally, physically, directly, or indirectly is criminal. The violators are put in spiritual centers and counseled. The justice enforcement is less about penitence and more about rehabilitation and spiritual guidance."

The concept of justice can vary across cultures, legal systems, and philosophical perspectives. It is an ongoing pursuit that seeks to create a just and equitable society where individuals are treated with dignity, their rights are protected, and fairness prevails in all aspects of social, economic, and legal interactions.

It is important to note that the understanding and definition of justice have evolved and continue to be subject to interpretation and debate by scholars and thinkers across different cultures and time periods. Justice is a fundamental principle in legal systems and plays a crucial role in maintaining social order, resolving conflicts, and promoting a just and harmonious society. It involves upholding the rule of law, protecting individual rights, and ensuring equal access to justice for all members of society, regardless of their social status, background, or identity.

Viswas further elaborates on this perspective and underscored the importance of empowering individuals to uphold justice in their daily lives and interactions. By recognizing and respecting the inherent rights of others, individuals contribute to a just and equitable society. However, in situations where conflicts arise or complexities arise, the role of an independent judiciary becomes essential in ensuring fairness, resolving disputes, and upholding justice in accordance with established legal principles.

In the New-Age Governance paradigm, justice is defined as a concept rooted in community ethics, rationality, and equity. It encompasses the principles of being just, fair, and righteous, with assessments also taking into account the individual's LifeScore. Punishment in the form of counseling is imposed on individuals who act contrary to these principles. Notably, LifeScore does not go into negative values for individuals who have not harmed others, and negative LifeScore indicates deserving punishment.

The concept of justice in this paradigm is founded on the idea of balance, ensuring that individuals receive what is right, fair, and appropriate within their specific social context. It aligns with the notion that individuals receive what they deserve within the parameters set by their respective communities. The New-Age Social Justice system aims to foster equality and fairness by ensuring equitable access to opportunities for all members of society.

Viswas poses a question to Grace, only to answer with emphasis, "Why justice is important in our life?", Viswas answers, "Social justice promotes fairness and equity across many aspects of society. For example, it promotes equal economic, educational, societal, and workplace opportunities. It's also important to enforce the SafetyNet of individuals and communities."

In Namibia, Grace with Lea had established community-level judicial bodies. These roll up to wider judiciary bodies at higher levels like wider geographic areas, and gradually up to the country level. Grace notes that "The Justices are well educated in multiple academic areas and stand to high ethics and fairness". Lea, with the Core team, also helped establish such a judiciary system in all the other New-Age Governance countries.

Lea, with Grace, had authored an invaluable compendium about the New-Age Justice system. They published a book "New-Age Collective Justice System" which serves as a guidebook to the New-Age Governance administration.

Among many things, the judicial system suggests how to establish Spiritual Centers for those who cross the ethical lines and who need guidance. The people who cross ethical and spiritual lines are tagged as "Crossers." Values teaching, guidance counseling, and spiritual enlightenment are the focus of these centers. The managers here are the guidance counselors who impart counseling to the attendees. They made these attendees work on various projects that are for Others (as opposed to for Self) in nature".

Grace and Lea emphasize that since all actions contribute to one's LifeScore, the work in Spiritual Centers also earns awards and rewards in the same way. After a period (as determined by the Judiciary) they pledged the attendee back to the free society. They enforced etiquette in the Spiritual Centers to be completely humane and just. The etiquette guidelines are the same inside and outside of these centers. These guidelines apply the New-Age Etiquettes to be used in governance.

There are to be courts at various levels, starting from the communities to wider geographies such as district, county, state, region, and country levels. Each level contributes the justices to the higher-level bodies. This makes sure they gradually and incrementally applied the representation at various levels. The Justices firmly consciously rooted the local concepts in the judicial establishment at every level following the Prime Directive from Vish's New-Age Governance.

New-Age countries Norway, New Zealand, Slovenia, Namibia, Uruguay, and UAE have established the Judiciary System complete with the local judiciary, higher judiciary systems, and spiritual centers.

Grace says that addressing issues of greed and selfishness prevents a lot of hurt. When people attach to themselves and want more than they need, they infringe on the fundamental rights of others and cross the line of established ethics and morals. Only spiritualism help in this scenario.

Lea says a few simple questions will extract the fact that if someone is acting with fairness. These questions are:

1. Have your actions hurt anyone directly or indirectly?

2. Have you infringed on someone else's fundamental rights?

3. Have you acted with greed and selfishness?

Lea says answers to these simple questions tell us if the person crossed the line between just and unjust. Lea, along with Grace, has codified what makes up an infringement and who needs to be rehabilitated. They have established a compliant system so they can recognize the infringers and perpetrators. They can then send these Crossers to the Spiritual Centers for guidance counseling.

When the Core team had deliberations about the New-Age Judiciary system, as envisaged by Vish, they thought it was very subtle. This system treats people extremely humanely when compared to the Judiciary system up to the 21st century. They labeled the infringers as needing guidance. The New-Age system provides them with spiritual guidance and not corporal punishments. The system forces these people directly to work for others and indirectly by using LifeScore mechanisms on the punishment side. The system only provided the Crossers with very basic sustenance. This is because they brought this upon themselves by acting either selfish or in hurting fashion.

The core team initially thought it may be extremely difficult to establish the infringements as they are very subtle and dependent on the local communities. But to their pleasant realization, Vish's LifeScore metrics and the Prime Directive measures helped a lot in drawing the ethical and moral lines. This helped establish when somebody crosses those lines and becomes a Crosser. Technological advancements also helped in this cause with their robust ethical framework. Adit's judiciary architecture allowed for instant participation by all the players in the Judicial System. This architecture allowed to instantly captured crossings and mapped to consequences.

The Judicial System is based on human intentions since a person's actions that are based on those intentions can be for humanity or against humanity.

Ms. Lea developed the social metrics system which helps to determine the nature of the actions which in turn helps to determine when a transgression occured and whether that was against self or others.

The monitoring, the corrections, the counseling, the trials, the defense, the prosecution, the Judges, and the people all take part in the Judicial System. Capital punishment is only for extremes of the crimes and only for the unrepentant person. All other punishments via counseling result in a deduction in the already earned LifeScore Credits and through slowing the accumulation of credits. This mechanism should act as a deterrence for committing crimes.

Lea, who had done extensive research into civil and criminal correction systems in many countries, chalked up details about New-Age Institutions of Corrections. Borrowing from Vish's New-Age Ideology, Lea has drawn up methods that employ the convicted felons by assigning State-mandated work tasks. Only a minuscule percentage of convicted felons are in fact in the correctional facilities. Lea believes in a second chance, and that everyone deserves that second chance. Non-extreme transgressions are sent to the spiritual centers for counseling.

People are scored up or down on their LifeScores. The LifeScore laggards and the guilty are encouraged to improve their LifeScores. As a second chance, they are offered to take up tasks to help increase their LifeScores. This is the only way to get back into the mainstream. The punishments are to assign these folks tasks to work for the betterment of humanity. The punishment tasks will not result in self-benefits.

This new punishment mechanism is referred to as penance as the guilty are made to work hard and earn and reach the threshold of positive LifeScore points. Once they accumulate enough points, they will be eligible to choose the work of their choice.

Ms. Lea explained, “The entire purpose was to encourage people to have freedoms, to choose the work of their choice and liking instead of getting the work assigned by state.”

Lagom (word from Swedish), which meant "Not too much, and not too little, but just right”, punishment to the guilty was the goal of Vish's New-Age Judicial System.

Scene 4.4 - Justice System - Boundary situations(Earth/Outer-earth)

Viswas says Vish defined Human Dharma as individual actions to partake in entire humanity's well-being. Viswas maintains that Sanatana Dharma from Hinduism can be explained as Religion with Spirituality. She concludes that when Sanatana Dharma is imagined with only Spirituality (introspection, seeking wisdom, tolerance, and actions cognizant of consequences) and without a Religion (organized belief systems) then it is for human well-being not just for that particular religious well-being.

Boundary situations in the context of the justice system refer to complex scenarios or legal dilemmas where determining the appropriate course of action or the application of the law becomes challenging. Boundary situations in the justice system refer to cases that test the limits of laws, rules, and social norms. These types of situations raise complex moral dilemmas without always having a clear right or wrong answer. These situations often involve ambiguous or conflicting factors, values, or circumstances, making it difficult to reach a clear and universally accepted resolution.

Navigating these unclear boundary situations thoughtfully is a major ongoing challenge for the justice system and society as moral perspectives evolve. Fairness, proportionality, and human dignity should guide the principles used to develop just laws, procedures, and punishments. Resolving complex dilemmas often requires a thoughtful analysis of legal principles, ethical considerations, societal norms, and expert opinions. Courts, legislatures, and legal scholars continually grapple with these issues, aiming to establish clear guidelines that ensure justice while considering the complexities of human behavior and the evolving nature of society.

Lea mentioned some example cases which fall under the boundary situations as - Assisted suicide/euthanasia requests, Abortion access, Police use of force, Hate speech/dangerous speech, Civil disobedience, Whistleblowing & leaks, Mandatory sentencing, Cases involving children, and death penalty, et.

Viswas further enumerates various dimensions and principles of justice that include:

1. Distributive Justice: This principle concerns the fair distribution of resources, benefits, and opportunities among members of society. It emphasizes the need to address inequalities and provide equal access to essential goods, services, and opportunities.

2. Social Justice: Social justice focuses on promoting equality, inclusivity, and the eradication of systemic disadvantages or discrimination based on factors such as race, gender, socioeconomic status, or other characteristics. It aims to create a society where all individuals have equal rights and opportunities to thrive.

3. Restorative Justice: Restorative justice emphasizes repairing the harm caused by wrongdoing and seeking reconciliation between victims, offenders, and communities. It focuses on accountability, rehabilitation, and addressing the root causes of conflicts or offenses rather than solely punishing offenders.

4. Procedural Justice: Procedural justice pertains to ensuring fairness in the processes and procedures of legal systems, institutions, and decision-making. It involves transparency, impartiality, and providing individuals with a voice and an opportunity to be heard.

5. Retributive Justice: Retributive justice focuses on punishing offenders in proportion to the harm caused. It aims to maintain social order, deter crime, and uphold the rule of law.

6. Environmental Justice: Environmental justice advocates for equitable access to clean and safe environments, addressing the disproportionate burden of environmental harm on marginalized communities, and ensuring the sustainability and preservation of natural resources.

The concept of justice is indeed influenced by cultural, legal, and philosophical perspectives, resulting in variations across societies. Justice represents an ongoing endeavor to establish a society that upholds fairness, equality, and the protection of individual rights ensuring individual dignity and respect. It involves the pursuit of creating systems and institutions that promote equitable treatment, respect for human dignity, and the resolution of conflicts in a just manner.

Different cultures and legal systems may emphasize particular principles or approaches to justice, such as retribution, restoration, or distributive justice. Philosophical perspectives, ranging from utilitarianism to deontology, can also shape interpretations of justice and guide decision-making processes.

While the specific manifestations and interpretations of justice may differ, the underlying aim remains consistent: to create a society where all individuals have access to equal opportunities, are treated fairly, and have their rights safeguarded. The pursuit of justice involves continuous dialogue, examination, and improvement of societal systems to address inequalities and ensure the well-being and equitable treatment of all members of a community.

The New-Age Judicial System is developed by Lea and the team to be adopted by the New-Age World. The ideologies are based on Vish's pronouncements on justice, punishment, and the utility of human life. Lea likes Vish's idea of the precious nature of human life. Vish says "Human life is the most precious and one should value that by accomplishments towards the next level of progressive wellbeing".

Lea believes in Vish's views of the System of Justice. The system should be such that whichever way one looks at it or understands it, should bring benefits to humanity. The system has to provide for a win-win paradigm. When law crossers get pertinent punishment and law adherents get encouraging rewards that was a win-win for society.

Local, county, national, international, and space colonies had the respective boundaries of the judicial system. The Classification of the realm of transgressions was critical. It determined what type of tasks the transgressor had to be assigned at the penitentiary. The sole criteria were for the person to get back into mainstream life. The pathway to this was to mentor, teach, and make the person work hard for humanity and realize the value of the human being. It tasked the person undergoing penance to work for public engagements only while that person's sustenance was taken care of with rewards and awards being offered as well as to any citizen by their LifeScore measure.

Penalties and fees were drawn or paid up using their LifeScore points. The lower the score, the lower the benefits, awards, and rewards. The differences are pronounced starkly and designed to bring a feeling of misery to the lowest rungs of LifeScorers. The Judiciary can employ the shaming mechanism too for the transgressors. This was to allow punishment civil rather than criminal.

Lea detailed the advantages and disadvantages as -

Potential advantages:

- A civil system focused on restitution and rehabilitation may be more humane and effective than criminal punishments like prison.

- Removing the stigma of "criminality" could improve social reintegration and reduce re-offending for some violations.

- Making penalties like fines or community service civil matters lightens the criminal justice system workload.

- For minor or victimless transgressions, civil sanctions like citations, revoking of privileges or required education may suffice.

- Civil penalties allow discretion in assigning punishment proportional to the violation, rather than standardized criminal statutes.

- There are fewer legal protections and higher standards of evidence in civil law, streamlining enforcement.

Potential disadvantages:

- Lacking the deterrent threat of prison, some may be unmoved by civil punishments alone. Criminality implies inherent social harm.

- Victims may feel unsatisfied if severe criminal acts only yield financial restitution and rehabilitation. Retribution has a role.

- Prosecutorial powers and constitutional protections for defendants may be important checks against state overreach.

- Reclassifying criminal actions as civil matters could be seen as de facto decriminalization of serious transgressions.

- Financial-based civil pltiesena disproportionately punish lower income groups, while the wealthy can easily pay fines.

- For violations involving grave moral turpitude, the stigma, and condemnation of criminality may be warranted.

Arguments in favor of civil punishment:

It is more focused on rehabilitation than retribution.

It is less expensive than criminal punishment.

It is more just, as the accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Arguments against civil punishment:

It is less effective at deterring crime.

It is more difficult to enforce.

It could lead to a two-tiered justice system, with the wealthy able to avoid punishment by paying fines.

Lea and Grace considered how to keep punishment more civil rather than criminal. There were potential advantages and disadvantages to each. Viswas says in Vish's New-Age Ideology these aspects are balanced.

Scene 4.5 - Language and communication

Language is the way of expression and the method of communication. The finesse, richness, and depth of meaning as conveyed depend on the expression. Various modes of language exist, such as spoken, written, drawn, and including acts. Ultimately, what's important is the conveyance of the meaning.

Lea worked extensively on the human language and linguistics. Superstrate and substrate languages find their place among the populace, and there is friction since the notion of superiority is unyielding even if it is unjust.

Ms. Lea noted that some cultures across the globe faced humility from the groups with claimed Superstrate language. So the futility of language or the language as a tool to suppress sections of population and cultures, as evidenced up to later 2nd or early 3rd millennia in the human evolution, is intimidating at first as with any other evolutionary changes of life. According to linguistics, a language fits the needs of its community. According to the muted group theory, language is the product of the dominant/dominating group, a tool to perpetuate its domination by not allowing for the expression of the specific experiences of marginalized people.

Lea believes that when language becomes a tool to creep in dominant feelings about self or ill feelings about humanity, then one should move on to relinquish that urge of condescension.

In the light of these scenarios, Vish proposed that society should promote a language that helps in reducing the differences among cultures. Vish thinks such language should enable everyone to use a common social messaging platform or language which relies more on content rather than structure. Social messaging achieves the transpiration of intent in its fuller sense and is devoid of any misinterpretations.

Lea worked with Adit and other Core sub-groups to formalize the transport mechanism of the New-Age language. With technological advancements, humanity is witnessing a plethora of choices such as holography transmission, machine-to-brain link, augmented/virtual reality, chips-in-body implants, telepathy, hypnotism, etc. The transport tools are available to people based on their LifeScore measure. The assumption is when LifeScore is higher you are entitled to a better tool that is highly efficient and secure. The Core team member all are in a higher group where they can use the most advanced forms of language transport tools.

The Core team, under the auspices of Lea, built a language Samepage which was a defacto standard in the New-Age Countries and could become the universal language. It had the potential to become a common language. Samepage borrowed words and expressions from many languages, many countries, and many cultures. Samepage had words based on phonemes, combinatorial graphemes, and digraphs that could represent millions of unique words with distinct meanings. Samepage language has attained the one-to-one correspondence between graphemes and phonemes. Lea stresses, "It will take some time before the Samepage language gets adopted widely."

The Core Team has created the language Samepage following Vish's New-Age Ideology. As a language, Samepage shows cognizance of the history of languages and the communication needs of the New-Age. Lea mentions, "Learning Samepage is easy. Samepage is extremely rich in its words, pronunciations, and grammar. It allows for a wide gamut of thoughts, ideas, emotions, and intentions while also lending itself well to digitization".

Dictionaries of the Samepage language have sprung up along with translations into various other languages. Because the Samepage is birthed in the heights of technological advancements, they implemented instant translations using various language transports, such as machine-to-brain links, chip-to-body implants, etc. It has become very easy using Samepage to communicate with any other language when employed with the latest technologies.

The New-Age countries have made the Samepage language an additional official language by the side of local languages. The results are phenomenal, and the reason is the Samepage language lends itself extremely well to electronic transmission and natural human expression at the same time. Lea says, "We implemented equally successfully Samepage language in various forms, be it digital, print or spoken form".

Language and communication play a vital role in shaping a more just society. Here are some considerations:

- Use inclusive language that shows respect for people of all backgrounds and identities. Avoid terms that stereotype, demean or erase groups.

- Be mindful of how language can encode unconscious bias. Audit communication to root out assumptions based on race, gender, class, etc.

- Call out coded discriminatory language disguised as neutral terms. Question linguistic conventions that reinforce oppression.

- Amplify marginalized voices and stories that have been left out of dominant historical narratives.

- Promote open and constructive dialogue between different communities and ideologies. Look for shared values.

- Make space for public deliberation around challenging ethical dilemmas and social controversies.

- Assert fundamental dignity and rights through language framing, e.g. "people experiencing homelessness" not "the homeless."

- Challenge propaganda, misinformation and demagoguery that stir hostility between groups.

- Consider how format, medium and context shape communication, e.g. social media's impacts.

- Analyze power dynamics around who controls communication platforms and distribution.

- Center values of truth, understanding and social responsibility when communicating about policies.

- Use emotionally compelling narratives, not just data, to connect audiences to social justice causes.

Communication that humanizes "the other," finds common ground, remedies exclusion, and enables civic discourse is vital for the journey towards a just society marked by care and equity.

Language and communication are essential tools for creating a just society. They can be used to build understanding, promote dialogue, and challenge injustice.Of course, language can also be used to create division and inequality. It can be used to spread hate speech, to promote stereotypes, and to silence those who are marginalized. However, when used in a positive way, language can be a powerful tool for creating a more just society.

—

Language and communication play a crucial role in building and maintaining a just society. They shape our understanding of the world, influence our interactions with others, and have the power to either perpetuate or challenge social injustices. Here are some key aspects of language and communication for a just society:

1. Inclusive Language: Using inclusive language is essential to promote equality and respect for all individuals. This involves avoiding gendered or discriminatory language and embracing gender-neutral terms when appropriate. It also means being mindful of the impact of language on marginalized communities and actively working to dismantle stereotypes and prejudices through our choice of words.

2. Empathy and Active Listening: Developing empathy and practicing active listening are crucial for fostering understanding and addressing social injustices. By actively listening to others' experiences and perspectives, we can better understand their challenges, needs, and aspirations. Empathetic communication involves validating others' experiences and feelings, demonstrating respect, and creating a safe space for dialogue.

3. Intersectionality: Recognizing and addressing intersectionality in communication is vital for a just society. Intersectionality acknowledges that individuals have multiple identities and experience various forms of discrimination or privilege based on the intersection of these identities (e.g., race, gender, class, sexuality). Communication should consider these intersections and avoid reducing people to single dimensions or overlooking their unique experiences.

4. Language for Social Change: Language can be a powerful tool for social change. It can challenge existing power structures and promote social justice movements. Activists often use persuasive and inclusive language to raise awareness, mobilize support, and advocate for marginalized communities. Communicating messages that highlight equality, inclusivity, and human rights can inspire collective action and push for systemic change.

5. Education and Media Representation: Just societies require educational institutions and media platforms that promote fair and accurate representations of diverse voices and experiences. By incorporating inclusive language, diverse perspectives, and critical thinking in educational curricula and media content, we can challenge biases, combat stereotypes, and foster understanding among different communities.

6. Restorative Dialogue: Restorative dialogue aims to address conflicts and injustices by promoting understanding, healing, and reconciliation. It focuses on listening, empathy, and dialogue rather than punishment or retaliation. Restorative communication can facilitate meaningful conversations, repair harm, and foster a sense of justice and community.

7. Ethical Journalism and Media Literacy: Responsible journalism and media literacy are essential for a just society. Journalists should prioritize ethical reporting, avoiding sensationalism, bias, and misinformation. Media literacy education helps individuals critically analyze media messages, identify biases, and distinguish between reliable and unreliable sources of information, empowering them to make informed decisions and contribute to a more just society.

By prioritizing inclusive language, empathy, active listening, and critical thinking, we can create a more just society where communication fosters understanding, challenges injustices, and promotes equality for all individuals.

—

Here are some specific examples of how language and communication can be used to create a just society:

The use of inclusive language: Inclusive language is language that does not exclude or marginalize people from different backgrounds. For example, instead of saying "mankind," you could say "humanity." Instead of saying "fireman," you could say "firefighter."

The use of respectful communication: Respectful communication is communication that is free from insults, name-calling, and other forms of disrespect. It is important to be respectful of others, even if you disagree with them.

The use of storytelling: Storytelling is a powerful way to build understanding and promote dialogue. Stories can help people to see the world from different perspectives and to understand the experiences of others.

The use of activism: Activism is the use of action to bring about social change. When used in a positive way, activism can help to challenge injustice and create a more just society.

Language and communication are powerful tools that can be used to create a just society. By using language in a positive way, we can build understanding, promote dialogue, and challenge injustice.

Scene 4.6 - Prime Directive of Inclusiveness

Vish stated, "All cultures have dignity and are to be treated with equal respect."

In this sense, Lea, borrowing from Vish's Culture Directive, mentioned Prime Directive from Star Trek franchise movies as a commendable practice to treat every culture and every individual with respect and dignity. She encouraged people to be polyglot or multilingual while following a singular messaging medium such New-Age Language.

Lea, with her team, wrote detailed guidelines for the Culture Directive of preserving the local cultures. The Core team made the Culture Directive accessible and accommodative.

—

Some key elements that could comprise a "Prime Directive of Inclusiveness" aimed at advancing human wellbeing:

- Recognize the inherent worth and dignity of all people, regardless of identity, background, or personal circumstances.

- Proactively welcome diversity and seek to include people from all walks of life, experiences, and demographics in society.

- Break down barriers, biases, and discrimination that result in exclusion, marginalization, or disadvantage for any groups or individuals.

- Provide equitable access to opportunities, resources, services, and supports to enable all people to thrive and reach their full potential.

- Ensure just treatment, protections, and impartial processes so no one faces discrimination or injustice based on their identity or membership in any group.

- Celebrate both our common humanity as well as the richness of distinctive cultures, worldviews, and life experiences represented across society.

- Promote policies, structures, and norms that are inclusive by design at all levels of society. Take proactive steps to remedy past and present inequities.

- Foster intercultural and intergroup dialogue, learning, and collaboration to nurture understanding and solidarity across diverse peoples.

- Cultivate empathy and compassion for others, especially those from backgrounds different than our own. Look for shared hopes and struggles.

- Respect autonomy and self-determination for all, with special concern for protecting the vulnerable from exclusion, oppression, or harm.

Adhering to principles like these could help guide us toward greater inclusivity essential for just, equitable, and caring societies where all people can thrive together in harmony.

—

The Prime Directive of Inclusiveness for Human Wellbeing is a principle that states that all people should be treated with respect and dignity, regardless of their differences. This principle is based on the belief that everyone has the right to live a full and meaningful life, and that everyone has something to contribute to society.

The Prime Directive of Inclusiveness for Human Wellbeing has a number of implications for how we should interact with each other. First, it means that we should be mindful of our own biases and prejudices, and that we should strive to treat everyone with fairness and equality. Second, it means that we should be open to learning about other cultures and perspectives, and that we should be willing to challenge our own assumptions. Third, it means that we should be supportive of those who are different from us, and that we should work to create a more inclusive society.

The Prime Directive of Inclusiveness for Human Wellbeing is important for a number of reasons. First, it helps to promote social cohesion and harmony. When people feel respected and valued, they are more likely to be productive members of society. Second, it helps to protect human rights. When people are treated fairly and equally, they are less likely to be discriminated against or marginalized. Third, it helps to foster innovation and creativity. When people from different backgrounds come together, they can share their ideas and perspectives, which can lead to new and innovative solutions to problems.

There are a number of things that we can do to promote the Prime Directive of Inclusiveness for Human Wellbeing. We can start by being mindful of our own biases and prejudices, and by challenging our own assumptions. We can also be more open to learning about other cultures and perspectives, and we can be supportive of those who are different from us. Finally, we can work to create a more inclusive society, where everyone feels respected and valued.

Here are some specific examples of how we can promote the Prime Directive of Inclusiveness for Human Wellbeing:

* **We can use inclusive language.** This means using language that does not exclude or marginalize people from different backgrounds. For example, instead of saying "mankind," we could say "humanity."

* **We can be respectful of others, even if we disagree with them.** This means avoiding insults, name-calling, and other forms of disrespect.

* **We can listen to others with an open mind.** This means trying to understand their perspective, even if it is different from our own.

* **We can stand up against discrimination and prejudice.** This means speaking out against injustice, and supporting those who are being discriminated against.

* **We can create safe spaces for dialogue and discussion.** This means creating environments where people feel comfortable sharing their ideas and perspectives, even if they are different from the majority.

The Prime Directive of Inclusiveness for Human Wellbeing is an important principle that can help to create a more just and equitable society. By following these principles, we can help to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to live a full and meaningful life.

The Prime Directive of Inclusiveness for human wellbeing is a guiding principle that emphasizes the importance of inclusivity in all aspects of society to promote the overall well-being of humanity. It serves as a foundational concept for creating equitable, fair, and thriving communities. The directive recognizes that every individual, regardless of their background, identity, or abilities, deserves equal opportunities, access to resources, and respect.

The Prime Directive of Inclusiveness encompasses several key elements:

1. Equal Access and Opportunities: It emphasizes the need to provide equal access to education, healthcare, employment, social services, and other essential resources. This involves removing barriers and discriminatory practices that prevent certain individuals or groups from fully participating in society.

2. Diversity and Representation: Recognizing and valuing diversity is a vital aspect of inclusiveness. It involves promoting diverse perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds in decision-making processes, institutions, and media representation. Embracing diversity cultivates a more enriched and inclusive society where everyone's voices are heard and respected.

3. Social Justice and Equity: The Prime Directive of Inclusiveness underscores the importance of social justice and equity. It requires addressing systemic injustices and structural barriers that perpetuate inequality. This involves actively dismantling discriminatory practices, policies, and attitudes, and working towards creating a more equitable society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

4. Empathy and Understanding: Inclusiveness promotes empathy, compassion, and understanding towards others. It encourages individuals and communities to recognize and empathize with the experiences, needs, and challenges faced by marginalized groups.

Scene 4.7 - Dimensions of an Equitable and Fair Society

Society is a complex system that can be analyzed and understood through various dimensions. While different scholars and theorists may propose different frameworks, here are some commonly recognized dimensions of a society:

1. Economic Dimension: The economic dimension of a society focuses on the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. It examines factors such as economic systems, labor markets, wealth distribution, and economic inequalities. This dimension explores the economic structures and processes that shape the livelihoods, opportunities, and standards of living within a society.

2. Political Dimension: The political dimension of a society encompasses the systems, institutions, and processes through which power is exercised, decisions are made, and public affairs are managed. It involves studying governance structures, political ideologies, systems of law and justice, and citizen participation. This dimension examines the distribution of political power and authority and its impact on societal dynamics and individual rights.

3. Social Dimension: The social dimension of a society focuses on the patterns of social relationships, norms, values, and institutions that shape social interactions and behavior. It includes aspects such as family structures, education systems, healthcare, social stratification, and cultural practices. This dimension explores the ways in which individuals and groups interact, form social bonds, and create shared meanings within a society.

4. Cultural Dimension: The cultural dimension of a society encompasses the beliefs, values, customs, traditions, arts, and language that are shared by its members. It includes aspects such as cultural heritage, identity formation, cultural expressions, and cultural diversity. This dimension explores how culture influences individual and collective behaviors, perceptions, and social norms within a society.

5. Environmental Dimension: The environmental dimension of a society examines the relationship between society and the natural environment. It includes the ways in which societies utilize and impact natural resources, address environmental challenges, and promote sustainability. This dimension explores environmental policies, conservation efforts, and the social, economic, and ethical considerations related to environmental stewardship.

6. Technological Dimension: The technological dimension of a society focuses on the development, adoption, and impact of technology within a society. It includes aspects such as technological innovation, digital connectivity, and the integration of technology into various domains of life. This dimension explores the influence of technology on social structures, economic systems, cultural practices, and individual experiences.

These dimensions are interrelated and influence one another, shaping the overall fabric of a society. Analyzing and understanding these dimensions can provide insights into the complexities and dynamics of a society, facilitating discussions and decision-making processes that aim to promote its well-being and progress.

—

Here are some key dimensions to consider when envisioning and building a more equitable and fair society:

Economic Equity - A fair distribution of wealth, income, property and access to quality jobs. Policies that address imbalances in economic power and resources.

Legal Equity - Fair, unbiased, and universally accessible legal systems that provide equal justice and due process. Laws that guarantee civil rights protections.

Political Equity - Equitable opportunities to participate in political processes and have a voice in governance and public policy decisions. Representative institutions that reflect diverse interests.

Social Equity - Inclusion and non-discrimination in education, healthcare, housing, and other institutions. Valuing human dignity across race, gender, sexuality, ability and other identities.

Intergenerational Equity - Policies that do not disadvantage future generations, including sustainable development and responsible use of environmental resources.

Spatial Equity - Equitable public investment, infrastructure, and distribution of services between geographic areas to reduce regional disparities.

Procedural Equity - Fair, transparent, and inclusive rules and processes for making important decisions. Democratic participation and accountability.

Capacity Equity - Providing resources and opportunities to develop the capacities needed to meaningfully participate and succeed in society.

Cultural Equity - Respecting, preserving, and celebrating diverse cultural identities, traditions, and forms of expression.

Restorative Equity - Rectifying past harms through acknowledgement, reform, and restitution. Healing for communities that faced historical injustices.

A comprehensive framework of equity and fairness should encompass this multidimensional view - creating a society that uplifts human dignity, inclusion, justice, and potential for all.

—

Equitable and fair societies are those in which all people have the same opportunities to succeed, regardless of their background or circumstances. They are characterized by a commitment to social justice and the fair distribution of resources.

There are many dimensions of an equitable and fair society, but some of the most important include:

* **Economic equity:** This means that everyone has access to the same opportunities to earn a living and build wealth. It also means that there is a fair distribution of resources, so that everyone has access to the basic necessities of life, such as food, shelter, and healthcare.

* **Social equity:** This means that everyone is treated with respect and dignity, regardless of their race, gender, sexual orientation, or other personal characteristics. It also means that everyone has the same opportunities to participate in society, regardless of their background.

* **Political equity:** This means that everyone has the right to participate in the political process and to have their voices heard. It also means that the government is accountable to the people and that it works to represent the interests of all citizens.

* **Environmental equity:** This means that everyone has access to a clean and healthy environment. It also means that the government takes steps to protect the environment and to ensure that everyone is not disproportionately affected by environmental hazards.

These are just some of the dimensions of an equitable and fair society. By working to achieve these goals, we can create a society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Here are some specific examples of how we can promote equity and fairness in society:

* **We can ensure that everyone has access to quality education, regardless of their background.** This means providing affordable childcare, making college more affordable, and supporting adult education programs.

* **We can create a more just criminal justice system.** This means ending mass incarceration, reforming the bail system, and ensuring that everyone has access to a fair trial.

* **We can protect the rights of marginalized groups.** This means fighting for the rights of women, LGBTQ+ people, people with disabilities, and other marginalized groups.

* **We can work to address environmental injustice.** This means investing in clean energy, reducing pollution, and protecting the rights of communities that are disproportionately affected by environmental hazards.

By taking these steps, we can create a more equitable and fair society for everyone.

Creating an equitable and fair society involves addressing various dimensions to ensure equal opportunities, rights, and outcomes for all individuals. Here are some key dimensions to consider:

1. Economic Equity: Economic equity focuses on ensuring that individuals have equal access to resources, opportunities, and benefits within the economic system. It involves addressing income disparities, wealth inequality, and providing support for marginalized and disadvantaged groups to overcome barriers to economic participation.

2. Social Justice: Social justice encompasses the fair and just treatment of individuals and communities, particularly in relation to access to basic needs, rights, and opportunities. It involves addressing systemic discrimination, prejudice, and biases based on factors such as race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, disability, and socioeconomic status.

3. Education: An equitable society prioritizes access to quality education for all individuals, regardless of their background or circumstances. It involves eliminating disparities in educational opportunities and resources, providing equal access to education, and promoting inclusive teaching practices that cater to diverse learning needs.

4. Healthcare: Healthcare equity entails ensuring that all individuals have equal access to healthcare services, regardless of their socioeconomic status or other factors. It involves addressing disparities in healthcare access, improving health outcomes for marginalized communities, and promoting preventative and holistic healthcare approaches.

5. Criminal Justice: A fair society focuses on a criminal justice system that is free from discrimination and bias. It entails addressing disparities in arrests, convictions, and sentencing, as well as promoting alternatives to incarceration, restorative justice, and rehabilitation.

6. Political Representation: Equitable societies strive for diverse and inclusive political representation. This involves removing barriers to political participation, increasing representation of underrepresented groups, and creating an inclusive political system that considers the needs and voices of all individuals.

7. Environmental Justice: Environmental justice aims to ensure that all individuals, regardless of their socioeconomic status, race, or location, have access to a clean and healthy environment. It involves addressing environmental inequalities, protecting marginalized communities from environmental harm, and promoting sustainable practices that benefit all members of society.

8. Cultural Recognition: An equitable society recognizes and values diverse cultures, traditions, and identities. It involves promoting cultural understanding, combating discrimination and stereotypes, and fostering an inclusive society where individuals can express their identities without fear of marginalization or exclusion.

9. Accessible Infrastructure: Equitable societies prioritize accessible infrastructure that caters to the needs of all individuals, including those with disabilities. It involves ensuring equal access to public spaces, transportation, housing, and other essential services, removing physical and structural barriers that limit participation and mobility.

10. Intersectionality: Recognizing and addressing the intersectionality of individuals' identities is essential for creating an equitable society. It involves understanding that individuals may experience multiple forms of discrimination or privilege based on the intersection of their identities and considering these intersections in policy-making and social interventions.

These dimensions are interconnected and mutually reinforcing. Building an equitable and fair society requires comprehensive efforts across these dimensions to tackle systemic barriers, promote inclusivity, and ensure justice and equal opportunities for all individuals, irrespective of their backgrounds or circumstances.

Chapter 5 - Education and Healthcare

Scene 5.1 - Schools, Colleges, and Research Institutions

Vish said, "The Learning system should be a societal beacon. Learning, a lifelong endeavor, spans formal education in the early stages and skills mastery later on. For sustainability, it should apply local context, offer broad guidance, and be practical, rooted in humane and inclusive spiritual principles."

Vish advocated for a learning system that guides society on the right path through contextualized, and utilitarian teachings grounded in humanity and inclusive spirituality. He envisioned formal education transitioning into skills mastery to serve people from all walks of life in a society-building capacity. Vish strongly believed in the philosophy of "reflect and reset". From time to time, one should reflect on actions and reset positions as necessary based on ethical considerations.

Sparq said, "The universal achievement of basic skills (proficiency in reading, writing, and speaking) has tremendous potential for citizen participation in a country's progress to reduce poverty, improve health, facilitate equity, and foster new technologies needed to ensure sustainable growth. Learning assessments and related metrics are key indicators to track its progress.”

Sparq advocated for the integration of innovative approaches and modern teaching methodologies, coupled with inclusive spirituality and cutting-edge technologies, in New-Age schools, colleges, and research institutions. This comprehensive approach aimed to ensure and enrich learning experiences, effectively preparing learners for the challenges of the future. The focal point of this learning system was to advance both knowledge and skills while instilling values such as empathy, inclusiveness, tolerance, and sympathetic joy.

New-age ideology defines basic sustenance items to include Learning along with Food, Clothing, Shelter, and Healthcare (CHEFS). Vish stated, "Learning is to gain knowledge and skill, to act with conscience, and to return justice and opportunity back to the society. Education and health are measures of societal advancement. The priorities of education must be on encouraging a positive learning environment and focused on well-being and respect".

Sparq believed, "Education is a necessity and is for the advancement of Human Quality of Life." Sparq propagated the idea of holistic education that provided the abilities of rationality and spirituality. She believed that the first 12 years of formal education should be free to citizens and that providing that service was the responsibility of the governments at various levels, such as biological parents, guardians, community, town, county, state, and country.

Sparq helped to write the New-Age Education policy, which she borrowed from Vish’s New-Age Ideologies. Sparq says the New-Age Learning system will answer the questions of what, why, when, and how of the learning processes. The learning system was a dynamic and comprehensive process that empowered individuals to acquire knowledge and skills, enabling them to thrive in various personal, social, academic, and professional contexts. New-Age policy developed the learning system with a focus on sharing knowledge and empowering people with the skills to advance civilization. Designing effective learning systems was crucial for human progress. All knowledge and no skill was like not utilizing the human potential. Hence, Vish emphasized, "Everyone should work according to their ability and one should improve that ability". It involved applying theories of teaching and deploying provider infrastructures to create instructional experiences that are accessible, equitable, and enriching.

New-age education policy created learning frameworks that played a fundamental role in shaping individuals and societies, driving progress, and promoting lifelong learning. Impart knowledge to students so they could be the change agents. The interactions between the teacher and student were positive by following the participatory methodologies. Impart free education until the children are 18 years of age. Impart education so students gain the abilities of reflection, justice, self-confidence, collaboration, innovation, and responsibility.

The New-Age Governance included New-Age Education in its basic sustenance policy. Free Universal children's education was provided up to the age of 18 years. The next four years of a college education were optional and at discounted charges to be paid back after 30 years of age. This was to encourage students to pursue higher education. The persons who drops off learning after 18 years of age will work and start earning LifeScores. The governments, depending on the current national need, will plan on focus areas of study and provide incentives and encouragement for people to pursue higher studies in those specific areas that were most relevant. It was like the STEM education push in the early 21st century. The focus of the New-Age Education Curriculum was human well-being and progressive advancement.

The learning system was a public system consisting of infrastructure and services. New-Age Learning and Education policy made these resources available and easily accessible. The educational and vocational institutions, run by local communities, provide a hybrid education system. There was a distance learning option and there was an in-person learning option as well.

The Colleges for Higher Learning offered 4 years of college and were physically so located geographically that students wanting to learn higher levels of education could easily access and pursue their education. The master's and advanced education colleges were so located that there was a simple transition from higher education to advanced education. Talented students get master's and higher education at highly discounted prices. The more talented a person was, the more discounts they got. Also, the higher the LifeScore of the student, the higher the discount. The parents and donors used their LifeScores for their children's needs for higher education. Children, while not expected to earn LifeScore, could still earn LifeScore by volunteering to do some useful work as guided by the respective governments. The New-Age Learning system allowed anyone of any age to study, learn, and research in the areas they want by choosing from the focus area lists.

In the New-Age Ideology, a country's progress was measured by how much advanced learning its citizens could access, pursue, achieve, sustain, and practice. Funds for the Education Infrastructure as necessary for schooling and Research and Development (R&D) were allocated based on the need and priority as exercised by the respective governments. Governments, at various levels, determine needs and priorities. They took into consideration what was basic, advanced, and needed in the future.

Sparq had the most knowledge in the areas of education as envisaged by Vish's New-Age Ideology. She with the help of the Core team had prepared meticulous and implementable policy guidelines which were published as a white paper "Document on New-Age Learning". This document served as a guideline for the New-Age governments.

The education providers are the entities responsible for delivering formal education, while education services encompass a broader range of support components that contribute to the overall educational experience. Providers offer the core educational content, while services contribute to the effectiveness and enhancement of the educational process.

While education providers focus on delivering the curriculum and academic content, education services encompass a broader spectrum of support and facilitation. Education providers are often the entities responsible for creating the structure and content of educational programs, while education services may include elements such as counseling, testing, and resources that enhance the overall learning experience.

The key difference is education providers are institutions that deliver bundles of educational services like instruction, curriculum, and credentials. The services support and enable the actual learning. Providers focus more on content and programming while services underpin the teaching and learning processes. Both work together to educate students.

In summary, education providers facilitate the delivery of the core educational content, while education services complement the learning experience by offering content, guidance, and counselling. The two work together to create a comprehensive and effective learning ecosystem.

Scene 5.2 - Education Providers

Dr. Sparq led the redesign of learning and education systems for the New-Age countries to make the population self-sufficient and ever-progressing. Her New-Age Learning systems plan called for the grand Learning Campuses as hubs for transformation. Dr. Sparq spearheaded a revolutionary redesign of the foundational infrastructures powering education and learning. She oversaw the construction of grand Learning Campuses serving as nuclei for this metamorphosis in the New-Age countries. Sparq and the Core team made sure that students, teachers, and anyone associated with and participated in the learning process got suitable LifeScores. Students, teachers, and participants were awarded suitable LifeScore.

The foundational pillars of these easily scaled architectures were the Mega Learning Campuses established in major population hubs. Sparq crafted these sprawling complexes as close to ideal environments as possible while integrating with nature. The central concept was to actualize a new epoch of enlightened learning systems that embody openness and stand to the rigors of assessments. The cornerstone of New-Age learning system was to embrace the empathy and positivity while embodying humane and spiritual considerations. Students from across the globe made pilgrimages to these sanctuaries devoted to knowledge and self-actualization. Students, teachers, and participants were awarded a suitable LifeScore.

The campuses boasted avant-garde smart facilities powered by leading-edge technologies. At the core was quantum computing processing muscle to administer personalized learning with instant feedback loop mechanisms using neural frameworks. This enabled AI Tutors to deliver tailored pedagogies, addressing each student's strengths, interests, and developmental edges at staggering scales. Students and learners underwent intensive training across multidimensional skill spectra in everything from ethics, philosophy, spirituality, and community participation to fusion engineering, biodesign, and consciousness hacking. Ubiquitous AR overlays superimposed interactive learning challenges. Students and learners accumulated Lifescore during the time spent that mapped to holistic growth.

Campus libraries were reinvented as grand reading lounges with holographic wells linking to humanity’s entire digitized knowledge corpus - the ‘Akashic Records’. Students freely cross-pollinated concepts from physics dissertations, poetry anthologies, musical scores, art mosaics and anything imaginable - remixing ideas. Discovery Domes suspended reality to immerse groups in interactive simulations exploring ethical dilemmas, governance systems of lost civilizations, and even the abstract anatomy of inspiration. Campus-wide idea jams resulted in inventions and startups. Proximity fostered collaboration across disciplines and origins. Smart gardens bearing optimized phytonutrient-rich foods fueled enhanced cognition. All spaces tacitly cultivated the soft skills and spirituality critical for a harmonious society. Reinvented libraries linked to humanity’s full digital knowledge. Students freely crossed ideas from physics, poetry, music and more. Domes suspended reality to explore societal dilemmas. Campus jams birthed inventions and startups. Collaboration was proximity-fueled. Optimized phytonutrient foods enhanced cognition. Soft skills and spirituality were tacitly cultivated.

Grand Learning Campuses were complemented by an omnipresent network of Community Learning Hubs circulating localized education. Empowering virtual academies leveraged multi-dimensional immersion to transport remote students. And digital university portals provided live windows into campus happenings. Local Community Hubs enabled localized skill sharing. Rural Virtual Academies volumetrically teleported remote students onto campuses. Digital Portals fostered inclusive windows into campus happenings. The integrated infrastructures enabled citizens to actualize themselves through self-directed education journeys aligned with their strengths and passions. Learners developed practical skills and higher faculties of judgement in service of societal advancement. Pioneering pedagogical mandates nurtured their metamorphosis into model citizens.

This expansive digital-physical apparatus was engineered for continuous improvement, ever-scaling to empower more minds. Sparq viewed these systems as the underlying operating code through which her new civilization could program itself greatness. She had architected an adaptive learning edifice to scaffold humanity's directed evolution. Powerful computing enabled AI Tutors to deliver personalized learning. Tailored lessons aligned to each student’s strengths and interests. Learners underwent immersive training - from philosophy and community building to biodesign and consciousness studies. Interactive challenges were woven throughout.

Guiding directives cultivated learners into influential model citizens. Performance was measured by real-world impacts rather than outdated testing. Ground-up restructuring organically unleashed latent genius.

Sparq focused on well-rounded human development rather than siloed training. Schools became trusted transmitters of vital knowledge to steward societal evolution. Exponentially scaling smart systems formed the foundation where civilization could program itself for greatness. Sparq introduced pioneering educational ideologies into New-Age countries – acknowledging diverse learner needs and teacher capacities while adhering to government-designated focus areas. Applying knowledge was vital to build harmonious societies. With humanity's wellbeing central, learning enabled working towards this vision.

In the new age, education providers became respected guides - revolutionizing how we teach, learn and uplift collective potential. Personalized development was facilitated through networks of hubs, workshops, academies and experiential programs. Learners embarked on self-directed study paths tailored to talents and passions rather than standardized curriculums. Teaching rose as a prestigious profession where spark-igniting educators focused equally on building ethics, philosophy and skills. Performance was measured by positive societal change rather than scores. Decentralization empowered bold, creative trailblazing by both teachers and students. By aligning learning to advancing humanity, these systems unleashed potential rather than constrain it. Education transformed from chore to cherished lifelong adventure – as evidenced in the New-Age countries.

Pioneering pedagogical directives guided learners’ metamorphosis into learned citizens - high functioning anchor-figures within communities who ignited upward transformation through passion-fueled influence. Performance was measured not through outdated testing but via real-world changes driven by students upon returning to local contexts. This ground-up restructuring formed the basic organizing principle for an educational system that organically cultivated and unleashed latent genius.

Rather than siloed training, New-Age Core team visionaries like Dr. Sparq aimed to nurture well rounded human development. Schools were elevated to vanguards entrusted with identifying and transmitting the most pertinent knowledge, situational wisdom and applied philosophies to steward society’s ongoing evolution. The exponentially scaling smart architecture formed the underlying foundation upon which the new civilization could program itself greatness, tap collective potential and author the next chapter for human progress.

These institutes leveraged radical technologies to scaffold enlightened systems that demolished antiquated norms. Quantum supercomputers empowered AI-driven personalized learning. Holographic knowledge centers granted open access to humanity's digitized erudition.

New-Age Learning Infrastructure was designed to be the Architects of the Mind: Sculpting Model Citizens. Dr. Sparq radically reimagined the role of education providers in society - elevating them as architects of the mind, and sculptors of model citizens. She revolutionized the teaching profession into a prestigious, lucrative, and meaningful vocation that attracted exceptional talent devoted to human empowerment. Everyone associated with Learning System in the ways of provider or servicer would get LifeScores.

The education providers of the future are not merely schools or universities—they are interconnected webs of cutting-edge infrastructures designed to uplift humanity's potential. In the new age, Dr. Sparq spearheaded a transformation fueled by investments in innovations that transcend antiquated systems. Dr. Sparq personally donated vast fortunes to the Learning Systems of New-Age countries. New-age education infrastructures also ensure last-mile access through VR academies in rural zones and partnerships with Vistaversity - virtual windows into higher modes of learning. Training in ethics and philosophy is woven throughout.

This expansive system is self-improving - AIs continually mine data to enhance pedagogical approaches, reformat curriculums, and upgrade infrastructure. By democratizing access to high-quality, customizable education, the new age unlocks boundless potential.

The curriculum synthesized time-tested knowledge and future-facing innovations deemed vital for society's advancement. Students earned "LifeScore" through studies, volunteer work, and internships, learning theoretical concepts and practical applications.

Education was a lifelong endeavor focused on bettering communities and societies. Providers and teachers became nation-builders and knowledge cultivators. By aligning the collective mind to humanity's perpetual growth, Sparq illuminated a future where learning was a privilege, not a chore - the fundamental force perpetuating the wellbeing of the self and the other.

Ms. Sparq had initiated many New-Age Ideologies into the educational systems in the New-Age countries. She could introduce many New-Age Educational concepts, otherwise not possible under traditional 21st-century governance policies. These methods range from acknowledging the needs of learners to the capacities of teachers to the freedom of people to learn at any stage of life. Sparq mentioned there was no taint in learning at any age, nor there was a predilection for certain areas of learning. Sparq did not fail to emphasize adherence to the focus areas in the educational system as laid down by the New-Age Governments.

Viswas explains, "This is because learning of outdated knowledge is a waste of resources. This does not help humanity." New-age governments, working alongside other countries globally, conclude about what was relevant and useful knowledge and which direction humanity should move for its sustenance and progress.

Sparq realized the need to put the learning into practice so it becomes useful and helpful in building a harmonious society. All learning and no practice was of no use to humanity. She knew the cornerstone of Vish's New-Age Ideology was to perpetuate the well-being of humanity in the present and into the future. Sparq emphasized that as everybody needed to be working hard to their abilities, learning became crucial and the enabler towards such a goal.

Teaching risen as a prestigious profession where expert educators were revered for igniting sparks of genius in their students. They focus on nurturing ethics and philosophical growth in addition to skills training. Performance was measured not by outdated testing, but by ability to create positive change.

This decentralization liberates both providers and learners to be bold trailblazers. By aligning education to humanity's advancement, new-age systems unleashed our collective potential rather than constrain it. Learning is no longer a chore, but a cherished lifetime adventure. This was evident clearly in the New-Age countries.

Scene 5.3 - Education Services

Dr. Sparq and Lea, guided by Vish's vision of societal well-being, spearheaded a revolutionary overhaul of the education system. She conducted extensive research spanning ancient to modern learning approaches - from Vedic to 21st-century models - synthesizing time-tested wisdom with contemporary innovations.

Sparq established a self-sufficient, comprehensive framework centered on nurturing model citizens. All learning institutions received state funding to provide free, high-quality education. A "train-the-trainer" program upskilled teaching professionals recruited from top academies. Students earned "LifeScores" through studies, volunteer work, and internships in diverse fields.

Lea oversaw the assessment system of the services for quality. The performance was measured on societal impact, not just test scores. Education services expanded from schools to R&D centers, manufacturers, publishers and more - an interconnected ecosystem upholding the vision of equity. Students progressed from daycare to doctorates, gaining knowledge and utility for the life and society.

At the heart was Sparq's belief that education perpetuates well-being. Teachers were nation-builders, preparing children as thoughtful leaders and engaged citizens, forged in literacy and ethics. By aligning education to humanity's advancement, Sparq illuminated the path ahead.

Education services encompass the various elements and support systems that contribute to the learning process. These services were facilitated by educational institutions, government bodies, private organizations, or NGOs. They extend beyond formal classroom instruction and may include counseling, career guidance, assessment services, and more.

Education Services refer to the various components that support the delivery of actual knowledge, the education. A range of entities offered these services and may encompass aspects beyond the curriculum, including technology, counseling, and administrative support. Some such services were Tutoring Services, Career Counseling Services, Testing and Assessment Services.

Ms. Sparq understood the importance of crafting a robust policy framework that was self-sufficient, comprehensive, adaptable, and capable of evolving alongside the ever-changing times. She firmly believed that successful policies should always be centered around the well-being of the citizens. With the invaluable assistance of the Core team, Ms. Sparq meticulously penned the New-Age Education policy. Collaborating with the Core team, Ms. Sparq crafted a policy designed to be self-sufficient, all-inclusive, adaptable, and ever-evolving. They drew inspiration from Vish's New-Age Ideologies to shape a learning system centered on the betterment of society.

Sparq and Lea's work on education was guided by Vish's New-Age Ideologies. She and her team conducted extensive research on major educational systems spanning from ancient to modern times. This included an in-depth study of notable learning approaches from various cultures and civilizations, such as Vedic, Buddhist, Chinese, Greek, and Arabic systems. They thoroughly examined educational philosophies and teaching methods from ancient, medieval, and 21st-century epochs. Additionally, Sparq closely researched modern Western education models. By evaluating this breadth of documented historical and contemporary systems, she aimed to develop new progressive learning frameworks that synthesized elements of wisdom from the past while meeting the needs of today's world. Sparq was committed to building education models rooted in research-backed best practices across place and time.

The teaching profession was associated with higher LifeScore. This correlation stemmed from the fact that when teaching offered lucrative LifeScores and rewarding work, it attracted exceptional talent. Skilled educators helped cultivate knowledge and abilities in students, thereby raising LifeScores. Teaching also conferred elevated social status. As Viswas highlights, "The New-Age Learning System aims to establish teaching as a prestigious, meaningful, and impactful career path. Doing so will continue to draw brilliant minds to nurture the next generation, fuel academic pursuits, empower communities, and boost LifeScores." An incentivized, merit-based teaching system that offered compensation and recognition commensurate with the vital significance of educational roles would replenish the field's talent pool. Society should elevate the teaching profession to attract exceptional candidates devoted to scholarship and human empowerment.

Teachers, instructors, coaches, authors, counselors, etc. all had roles to fulfill, and all got the additive LifeScores depending on their skills, accomplishments, and service. With the higher LifeScores associated with Education and related activities, there was a prime interest and competition to join this Learning paradigm.

In the train-the-trainer concept, the role of teachers was well understood as a nation-building force. As far as Education was concerned, teachers were one of the most important members of society after parents. Viswas says that at home children learn from their parents and outside they learn from teachers and society at large. Teachers gave children knowledge, and purpose, and trained them as good citizens. The children of today were the workers, leaders, scientists, or teachers of tomorrow. Teachers make a child ready for the future.

The New-Age Governance acknowledges the necessity of having a great pool of teachers at all levels of education across the country. So, the government deployed various mechanisms to build pools of teaching professionals. Institutions of higher education exclusively for teachers were created and run by the New-Age state. The sole aim of these institutions was to impart advanced skills and training methods to prepare teachers who, upon completion, can go back to educational institutions to teach students.

Sparq noted that, in modern times of the 21st century, countries such as Finland, Denmark, and South Korea have provided an excellent educational system to their citizens. Their systems are based on literacy and developmental needs. The efforts include attaining early childhood enrollment, good test scores in math, reading, and science at primary and secondary levels, and good completion rates in high school and college graduations.

Education services were institutions and organizations that facilitate imparting education at various levels. Education services and education providers make up essential Learning services. All education-related services are treated with great respect. The education support infrastructures which include personnel, policies, procedures, and administration are all State funded as per the local, regional, and national needs and requirements. The New-Age aligns the Education system with the Global Vision of the ultimate well-being of humanity.

Sparq introduced various mechanisms to measure the performance of institutions, service providers, teachers, and students. The educational system is measured for its utility to society and potential to evolve with time while fully committed to the well-being and advancements of humanity in the future. Viswas thinks “Education perpetuates wellbeing”.

Day Care centers, Schools, and Colleges recruit, retain and reward students for their learning. Students get opportunities to earn LifeScores based on their volunteer hard work. There are internship and associateship opportunities where students while studying can earn LifeScores. These work opportunities exist in many varieties, so there are plenty of choices for students to learn and work.

The organized education services provide many ancillary and helper roles which keep the education system well supported and efficient.

Dr. Sparq recognized the strength of the Institutions to be essential to the long-term sustenance of the viable Education system. She included the Education System in various committees she is on. Her policy at several high-level committees, such as the Education Infrastructure Committee, covers the core educational areas to include integration with supportive learning institutions such as manufacturing, distribution, administration, and policy-making bodies.

Education Services include services offered by organizations such as schools, colleges, universities, R&D centers, publishing centers, and practice centers. New-age governance establishes these organizations based on the field necessities.

Scene 5.4 - Healthcare Providers

In the grand tapestry of the New-Age Ideology, healthcare emerges not merely as a service but as a keystone, an essential pillar among the sustenance-level necessities encapsulated in the acronym CHEFS. Conceived by the visionary Vish, this ideology transcends traditional norms, framing healthcare as a profound commitment to individual well-being and societal flourishing. Vish's declaration, "The state of the population is measured by the quality of health and education," resonates as a powerful ethos propelling transformative initiatives led by key architects such as Grace and the Core Team.

This innovative ideology positions healthcare as a cornerstone in societal progress, recognizing the intricate interplay between the health and education of a populace. It understands them as reciprocal pillars on which the edifice of a thriving society rests. In alignment with Vish's visionary insight, Grace champions the cause of healthcare with unwavering commitment, recognizing its profound implications for societal advancement.

Grace and Sparq, in harmonious collaboration with the Core Team, have not only echoed Vish's ideology but translated it into tangible policies and initiatives. Their collective effort materialized in the form of a meticulously crafted Healthcare Policy document—a manifesto delineating the significance of robust healthcare and charting a course for its effective integration into the fabric of New-Age Governance.

In this paradigm, healthcare providers take center stage as architects of well-being, encompassing a diverse array of individuals and organizations committed to delivering healthcare services. Esteemed doctors, from general practitioners to specialized experts like cardiologists and neurologists, stand as frontline custodians of health. Nurses, the backbone of patient care, form an integral part of this tapestry, along with the bastions of health facilities—hospitals and clinics, each a nexus of healing in its unique capacity.

The New-Age Governance model, envisioned by Vish and manifested by Grace and the Core Team, envisions a healthcare system that transcends traditional boundaries. It is a system where the government assumes stewardship of health, ensuring that it is not a privilege but an inalienable right for every citizen. The egalitarian spirit fosters a humanitarian approach, where the goal is not just to treat ailments but proactively preserve the health of the populace.

Sparq, a luminary in this visionary tapestry, has not only contributed intellectual capital but demonstrated tangible commitment by donating substantial funds to global education and healthcare systems. This philanthropic gesture is not merely an act of charity but a strategic investment in human capital—a recognition that a healthy, educated populace is the bedrock of societal progress.

The luminaries associated with this ideology—Dr. YoloMunk, Krishna, Folapr, Amzoni, Alpean, Liam, Jack, Andean, and others—don't merely espouse these principles from a distance. They actively engage with institutions, imparting wisdom and knowledge through lectures and presentations. Their involvement is not a token gesture but a sustained commitment to nurturing the next generation of Graceders who will carry the torch of the New-Age Ideology.

Creating a robust healthcare workforce is not merely about producing doctors and nurses; it encompasses medical education, research, and development. The post-modern age diseases demand not just treatment but a deep dive into the realms of medical and genetic research. New-Age Governments, in response to this imperative, have instituted higher education institutions in the medical field—crucibles where future medical professionals are forged, individuals who will be the vanguards of health, wielding knowledge and compassion as their tools.

The global perspective of New-Age Governments extends beyond national boundaries. Institutions are strategically established based on the necessities of various governance units, preventing duplication and optimizing resources—a testament to Vish's mantra that resources are precious and should not be squandered.

In this paradigm, healthcare providers are not just deliverers of services; they are emissaries of compassion, custodians of health, and architects of a future where well-being is not a luxury but a fundamental right. Their collective effort transcends individual pursuits; it is a symphony where each note, each endeavor, contributes to the grand crescendo of societal health and prosperity.

The New-Age Ideology is not a theoretical construct confined to lofty ideals. It is a lived reality, manifesting in the policies, actions, and commitments of individuals and organizations. It is a conviction—a resolute belief that health and education are not peripheral to governance but are its very essence. The narrative spun by Vish, Grace, Sparq, the Core Team, and the illustrious cohort of thought Graceders is not a tale of utopia. It is a testament to the transformative power of ideas when imbued with conviction and translated into concrete actions that shape the destiny of nations and the well-being of generations. It is not just a narrative; it is a conviction—a heartbeat echoing across generations, heralding a new dawn for the health of nations and the prosperity of humankind.

Scene 5.5 - Healthcare Services

In the tapestry of the New-Age Ideology, a profound transformation unfolds—a transformation that positions healthcare not merely as a service but as an unequivocal right bestowed upon every citizen. This paradigm shift is not a mere theoretical construct; it is a seismic reconfiguration of societal values, a recalibration that places health at the forefront of governance. Recognized as a fundamental need, health is no longer a commodity attainable by privilege; it is a birthright, as intrinsic as air and as essential as the beat of a heart.

In this radical reimagining, the government assumes the role of a benevolent guardian, offering health for free, aligning it with other sustenance items like Food, Clothing, Shelter, and Education (CHEFS). It's a departure from the dogmas of the past, a departure that challenges the very essence of 21st-century capitalistic societies and their governments.

Yet, within this departure lies a beacon of hope—the New-Age Ideology, an alternative that some hail as post-capitalist. At its core is a revolutionary concept introduced by the visionary Vish—the LifeScore measure. This measure is not just a metric; it is the pulse of a new era, a heartbeat that resonates through the corridors of Governance, Economics, Politics, and Sociology. It breathes life into an alternative reality where economic resources are not shackled by privatization but are collectively owned and managed by the government, serving the common good.

Healthcare, under this paradigm, is not a segmented service but a comprehensive tapestry of offerings. Primary, Ambulatory, Urgent, Intensive, Rehabilitation, Prescription medicine, and Diagnostics care—each thread interwoven into a fabric of well-being. But the distinguishing feature is that every aspect of healthcare is not just affordable; it is 100% free to the citizens. It's a paradigm that challenges the conventional narrative, where financial barriers often dictate the access to essential services.

Spearheading the global movement for this transformative shift is Sparq, a luminary who, with the assistance of Lea, champions the cause of making healthcare a birthright for every citizen adhering to Vish's New-Age Ideology. Sparq, astutely understanding the intricate web that healthcare weaves with parental guidance, administration, education, and research, navigates the labyrinth of challenges posed by funding. In a paradigm where healthcare is non-negotiable, funding becomes not just a challenge but a puzzle to be solved for the collective well-being of society.

Within this transformative landscape, institutions like Hospitals, Care Centers, pharmaceutical facilities, and Bio-R&D wings emerge as cornerstone entities. These are not just buildings with a utilitarian purpose; they are crucibles of care and innovation, operating under what is known as directed-volunteerism with directed-focus. In this paradigm, every service is a manifestation of collective will, every effort a testament to the commitment to the well-being of the populace.

Age and severity of disease cease to be discriminatory factors. Every citizen, irrespective of their age or the gravity of their ailment, receives equal attention and treatment. Governments, recognizing the diverse needs of their populace, establish specialized healthcare institutions. There are hospitals dedicated to children, sanctuaries for the elderly, and facilities offering special care for unique patient demographics. Beyond this, governments invest in pharmaceuticals and Healthcare R&D, acknowledging that the future of health lies not just in treating ailments but in understanding and preventing them.

Healthcare is not a concern that burdens citizens; it is the responsibility of the government. Resources, budgets, and funds are not just allocated; they are judiciously distributed to healthcare personnel, services, facilities, and research. To the citizens, healthcare is not a burden; it's a 100% subsidized service, a manifestation of a government's commitment to its people's well-being.

The establishment of Hospitals, diagnostics facilities, and the manufacturing of medical equipment, drugs, and supplies are not haphazard endeavors. They are strategic moves based on local and country requirements, a reflection of the meticulous planning that underpins the New-Age Ideology. Technology, a potent force in this paradigm, is not just a tool but a catalyst for progress. It plays a pivotal role in the healthcare system, driving innovations that redefine the boundaries of what is possible.

Directed medicines, human-machine interfaces, genetic treatments, epidemiological controls, and prosthetics enhancements—all are not futuristic dreams but tangible realities. These are not just advancements; they are the fruits of a commitment to harnessing the power of technology for the betterment of human health. In this era, technology is not a distant ally; it is an integral part of the healthcare narrative, a partner in the quest for better, more accessible, and more effective care.

Amidst these technological marvels, Vish's emphasis on spiritual methods stands as a testament to a holistic approach to health. Lea and Sparq, echoing this sentiment, recognize that spirituality is not a peripheral aspect but an excellent preventive tool. It's an acknowledgment that health is not just about the physical; it's about the intricate dance of mind, body, and spirit. In this paradigm, spirituality is not relegated to esoteric practices; it's woven into the fabric of daily life. Meditation, connections with nature, social interactions, and physical activities become not just pursuits of leisure but pathways to health, peace, and stability.

As we delve deeper into the various components of healthcare services, it's not merely a catalog of offerings; it's a testament to the comprehensive nature of care. Preventive services focus not just on curing diseases but on preventing them. Primary care is not just a routine check-up; it's the first line of defense against a myriad of health concerns. Specialized medical care is not just expertise; it's precision in addressing specific conditions. Emergency and urgent care are not just services; they are lifelines in critical moments. Diagnostic services are not just tests; they are gateways to understanding and treating health conditions.

Therapeutic services are not just treatments; they are pathways to managing and curing health conditions. Mental health services are not just counseling sessions; they are sanctuaries for emotional well-being. Rehabilitative services are not just exercises; they are journeys of restoration and improvement. Home healthcare is not just medical aid; it's a manifestation of care reaching the doorstep. Long-term care is not just assistance; it's a commitment to the ongoing well-being of individuals.

Pharmaceutical services are not just dispensing medications; they are gatekeepers of health. Health promotion and wellness programs are not just initiatives; they are beacons guiding towards a healthier lifestyle. In this paradigm, healthcare is not a fragmented series of services; it's a symphony where each note, each service, contributes to the grand crescendo of societal health and prosperity.

In this New-Age Ideology, healthcare is not just a line item in a budget; it's an investment in the future. It's a recognition that the health of a nation is not just a statistic; it's a reflection of its collective well-being. Sparq, Lea, and the architects of this ideology understand that healthcare is not just a service for the present generation; it's a legacy for the next.

Institutions aren't just buildings with walls and equipment; they are crucibles where the next generation of healthcare professionals is forged. Technology isn't just a tool; it's a medium through which the next generation of medical breakthroughs is achieved. Spiritual methods aren't just practices; they are legacies passed on to the next generation, guiding them towards holistic well-being.

As Sparq donates not just funds but a vision for a healthier world, as Lea doesn't just spearhead movements but ignites flames of change, as Vish's ideology isn't just a concept but a living, breathing reality, the next generation witnesses not just change but a revolution. It's not just a transition; it's a transformation—a transformation that shapes the destiny of nations and the well-being of generations.

The New-Age Ideology isn't just a narrative; it's a conviction—a resolute belief that health is not just a service but a fundamental right, a belief that technology is not just a tool but a force for progress, a belief that spirituality is not just a practice but a pathway to holistic well-being. It's a conviction that healthcare is not just a present need; it's a legacy for the next generation—a legacy that transcends time, shaping a healthier, more vibrant world for those who follow. In this conviction lies not just a vision; it's the heartbeat of a transformative era—a heartbeat that echoes across generations, heralding a new dawn for the health of nations and the prosperity of humankind.

Scene 5.6 - Philanthropy and Giving back.

Sparq is a recognized philanthropist across the globe. She had spent all her fortune from her inheritance on philanthropy. Sparq had donated multi-billion US Dollars and New-Age Coins, a cryptocurrency, to various healthcare and educational initiatives across the globe. Sparq also donated a huge part of her LifeScore to the benefit of HealthCare and Education in equal parts to be spent in the New-Age countries equally.

New-Age Ideology is big on taking care of each other following the army motto of "All-for-one and One-for-all". All the Core Team members donated vast sums to various organizations from around the world. They donated New-Age coins, LifeScores, and also currency possessions. Research Institutions for Healthcare are recipients of these generosities. So are the Educational Institutions such as Universities and Skill development and delivery organizations.

Sparq had made one such donation to a few hospitals and universities in Namibia that provide childcare and impart life skills. She made sure that the children are well cared for and become healthy and skillful when they grow up. The Core team believes the education and healthcare systems are attuned the current generation and meet the future needs of society.

Sparq once was on the wealthiest people list. Viswas comments, "From the time she embraced the New-Age Ideology from Vish, she spent all her fortunes on philanthropic activities. Sparq is no longer on any wealthy lists." Sparq is also big on charity work. She worked as a nurse in a hospital in Dubai, caring for patients.

Sparq made a difference in the lives of people from New-Age ideology countries and status quo ideology countries. She made a positive impact on the lives of people with her volunteerism, charity, and philanthropic activities.

Philanthropic, volunteer, and charity activities provide huge weightage in the LifeScore equation. Viswas notes, "The best irony is, while they indulge in these humanitarian activities, they get awarded and rewarded more in LifeScores which in turn provides opportunities to give even more!"

Sparq oversees the "New-Age Public Foundation" created by the Core Team for public philanthropic activities, focused on especially for New-Age Governance and other New-Age ideologies.

New-Age Public Foundation has traditional and New-Age funds. Viswas explains, "What this means is it has legacy currencies, New-Age Coin currency, and LifeScore Bank". The Core Team donated New-Age Coins, legacy currencies, volunteer time and efforts, towards the causes of implementing New-Age Ideology.

The New-Age countries Norway, New Zealand, Slovenia, Namibia, Uruguay, and UAE are all beneficiaries of the New-Age Public Foundation. Viswas says, "If you want to know the legacy equivalent currency amount that Sparq and Core Team donated, it is roughly equivalent to USD $750 Billion." This has helped fund the movement in these countries. It is not just the funds in various forms but the spirit and energy of the population from across the globe that is instrumental in the success of the New-Age Ideology and New-Age Countries.

Chapter 6 - Progressive economics for the well-being

Scene 6.1 - Production of Goods/Services

==Realize, Rise, Redirect, Rebel and Rule==

Vish's vision defines the Growth as the "Progressive well-being of people". Well-being is at the front and center of all efforts.

Viswas explains, towards a New Economic Approach, that sets out a set of goals and measures for economic and social progress, is an approach that requires new frameworks of economic analysis; is an approach that sets new kinds of policies. The New-Age Growth focuses on how economic, social, and environmental perspectives are integrated with a coherent approach to attain the well-being of the entire population, not just a section. Climate change and inter-related global environmental problems, including biodiversity loss, soil degradation, air and marine pollution and Space debris, needed urgent attention and redress mechanisms that need to be integrated into economic and safety policies.

Accelerating and impending environmental crisis is the most important factor that needs immediate attention and remediation using the emerging and most current technological advances from Artificial Intelligence to the Genomics arena.

Adit lamented, “we measure development metrics as mere aggregates. Economic growth per these aggregate metrics may continue to show generating higher national incomes from a narrow perspective. But the fact is, the metrics are masking the reality of lopsided development. The imbalance between poor and rich has become a chasm that continued to grow.” "This is because", Adit continued, "existing 21st-century national financial regulations are inequitable by the combination of nationalistic policies and selfish governance.

Rising inequalities, in almost all countries, during the last couple of centuries have seen a declining share of national income going to wages and salaries, with a rising share of national income going to the owners of capital. Poverty remained a persistent blight and became a universal and global fact.

GDP growth does not measure well-being. We now understand that people’s sense of a fulfilled and flourishing life comes from a wide variety of other factors besides personal income: security and satisfaction, physical and mental health, social network, personal and family relationships, and social goods such as the lower levels of crime and higher trust in society, and the quality of public services such as good nutrition, health, and education. For most people today, rising GDP is no longer a correct measure either of their own well-being or their sense of society’s economic progress.

Adit notes that severe environmental degradation is undermining the capacity to maintain a decent standard of living. An economic system that is based on fossil fuels and the unlimited exploitation of natural resources is not sustainable. Climate change, air, and marine pollution, and ecological breakdown are already damaging the lives and livelihoods of millions of people around the world; they posed catastrophic damage to our economies and societies. Unless current dominant forms of inefficient and selfish production and consumption patterns are radically changed, humanity itself is in grave danger of perishing and clearly has the chance to face a man-made extinction event.

The objectives for economic policymaking should be based on:

1. Environmental sustainability

2. Progressive wellbeing

3. Greater equity

4. System resilience

Viswas tells, "The empirical evidence shows that unequal societies are economically poorer than more equal societies. It shows that more unequal economies do less well than they would if they were more equal. Same is the case with the well-being of the population – well-being is completely lopsided and skewed towards rich and powerful. In this sense, we can say that fairness and prosperity go hand in hand".

If reducing inequality can boost economic growth, it also has an important impact on both social and individual wellbeing. Studies across developed countries show strong correlations between inequality and a variety of other social harms, including higher rates of mental and physical ill-health, obesity, and crime, and lower levels of social trust, educational attainment, and social mobility. Surveys of wellbeing consistently show that more equal societies are also those where life satisfaction and happiness are highest.

Incremental changes will not address the deep challenges facing 21st-century economies just. Environmental unsustainability, low levels of investment and slow productivity growth, rising inequality, the power of monopoly corporations, growing financialization, indiscriminate market derivatives creation, and rampant monetization: each of these arise from dysfunctional structural features of modern economies.

Adit knew the factors of production, the inputs that go into the production of goods and services, need to be recognized, nurtured, and conserved. These are scarce resources that governments destine for entrepreneurs from public and quasi-public sectors to deploy and create wealth for human well-being. These Factors of Production: Land, Labor, Capital & Entrepreneurship are broadly categorized under tangible and intangible goods with a finished product as the end goal. Recognize that these resources are scarce and finite and are required in just enough quantities, depending on what is being needed, produced, and consumed. This is the crux of New-Age economics that Vish envisioned.

The Core group made sure of “the inputs and outputs needed to be measured for their effective and efficient usage while conserving the environment”. In an ideal world, produce only enough and not one unit more or one unit less. There is no excess or wasteful utilization of finite resources. This indeed is a big assumption that one can exactly produce and supply just enough to meet the exact need all the time.

The market-driven economy has resulted in the current state of inequality and disequilibrium. Market Equilibrium between Demand and Supply was the bane of the so-called modern economics of the 19th to 21st centuries. The equilibrium sought was based on incorrect inputs and outputs that never addressed the well-being of humanity. It did not care for the needs of poor people nor tempered the wants of rich people.

The core group understands that this is the motivation to find a true balance between wants and needs in real life. This is the kind of motivation that seeks the right production to cater to just demand.

Vish proposes this should be the outcome by applying the LifeScore that the 22nd century can target with the advancements in technologies. This is the equilibrium of well-being that Vish calls as New-Age Economics.

At the London School of Economics, the “New-Age Economics 101” class is being delivered by Adit. This is extremely popular that usually gets overbooked. The class this time is in an open auditorium, a first in the school’s history attended by over 2000 students in-person and many more remotely. These students are of all ages, from many countries. Adit made sure that attendees are not charged. It is free for all. The school broadcasted the class online, over television, radio, holographic, and AR/VR formats in real-time. Adit commands huge respect and veneration from across the globe among educationists, economists, researchers, and technologists.

Adit, on the podium, explains that “the New-Age Production and Consumption is a direct 1 to 1 relationship between the needs and factors of production. This just production to the exact needs is the evolution from the mismatch of production and distribution of previous centuries. It's not based on traditional demand and supply. It's a supply to the needs of the deserved, not to the wants but to the needy and surely not for the underserved as determined by individual’s LifeScore.”

Adit’s class on New-Age Economy was a huge success. It highlighted the New-Age Economy benefits to the humanity and its well-being at large. He explained the implementation details that had shown results in the New-Age countries.

Consumers order from the Producer's Universal Product Master Catalogue. The factories that are closest to the consumer get to produce the items. This centralizes the allocation of production at the respective closest to the consumer manufacturing plants. It's the producer's responsibility to get those items transported to end-user consumers. The items are owned by producers until they reach the hands of consumers. In such a transaction, it removed all intermediaries that existed in the traditional supply chain equation. The digital ledger will record the transactions in a highly secure, open, and reliable way. The legacy or traditional Supply Chain has disappeared and those intermediaries such as wholesalers, retailers, brokers, transporters, storage, etc. have no such business anymore and must move on to newer industries such as packaging, storage, transportation, and end-user servicing have sprung up as new quasi-public industries.

In some cases, the 20th-century Free-markets tempered with State intervention (Mixed or Hybrid Economy) have not offered the solutions that are enough to result in fair distribution of wealth and universal benefits of well-being to the populations. They distributed the wealth in unbalanced fashion, while welfare measures only perpetuated the inequalities, resulting in more misery for the majority. Minority, the powerful and rich, garnered the most benefits.

Vish's ideas of reducing the wastage of time and materials fascinated Adit. He liked the idea of putting checks on excesses in the production and consumption of goods and services. Vish's dictum of "Spend just enough resources" is the conservation and consumption mantra. This means "Deploy just enough resources to produce for just enough consumption". To develop an optimum economic system, one needs to determine and deploy efficient ways to produce goods and services using limited resources.

Adit knew the only way to follow these ideals was to implement mechanisms that use absolute minimum inputs to produce for the enough in consumption. For this to happen, materials science needs to step up to discover new materials, the logistics must be highly efficient. The new-age efforts already resulted in the creation of new materials, which now measure up to 10 new naturally occurring elements that include materials discovered from asteroids and other celestial bodies and 22 new synthesized materials created in laboratories on earth and in space.

The new-age economics has already resulted in the appearance of new and efficient modes of transportation for people and products. Cars on Cables, Cars on Levitation, Zero-Gravity on earth enclosed pathways, and Hovering are commonplace and use highly energy-efficient methods based on renewable energy sources. Charging in transit has become a game changer in transportation. Choice of transportation mode is governed by efficiency and energy neutrality. The New-Age Transportation leveraged the Air and Waterways in ways not implemented in the 21st century. It reduced the carbon footprint while achieving the highest energy efficiency.

Adit knew the various stages of the revolution, realize (inequalities in consumption), rise (in rebellion), redirect (switch sides from status quo to new), rebel (fight the oppressor), and rule (change to new leadership), were born of excesses and culmination of wrongdoings at those respective stages. In some places and for some cultures, it's not very painful for a rebellion or a change, such as in Uruguay. The change in Uruguay was most easy relatively speaking when compared to other New-Age countries such as Norway, New Zealand, Slovenia, Namibia, and UAE.

Adit and New-Age Core members met with like-minded leaders from the Production and Logistics industries from the member countries of the UN New-Age Councils. The Core team explained the New-Age Ideology, with special reference to the Economy, to the representatives. The impact on the traditional industries is being discussed and laid threadbare, so the leaders understood the implications in all walks of life of populations.

Scene 6.2 - Distribution of Goods/Services

Viswas says that Social Justice and economic equality have become a mirage despite what humans have tried to achieve under various philosophies until the late 21st century. Viswas continues that Vish's New-Age Ideology, which touches on Governance, Administration, Economics, Politics, and Sociology, ushered in the well-being of populations of the New-Age countries.

Adit believes Vish's New-Age Ideology made it possible to accomplish such justice and equality.

Equitable access to and fair consumption of goods, services and opportunities is the primary concern of Vish's New-Age ideology.

Retailers have vanished because the producers produce goods and services only to the order (requirement) and supply straight to consumers based on those orders. The traditional intermediaries such as wholesalers and retailers have no role to play and became extinct. The result is no hoarding, no price gouging, no artificial production, and no supply controls or unfair hedges. One might argue how are economies of scale achieved? The answer to that is the system is fully optimized using just production where the production-to-consumption ratio is 1:1. Which means people order what they need using the Universal Product Master Catalogue. The New-Age Consumption controls are in place so that people cannot order what they want unless pledged by their LifeScores.

There is Universal Master Product Catalogue. Using which consumers can choose what product to be ordered. Product transactions within the country are as simple as the producer making the product and transporting it to the consumer. But if the producer or consumer is international, then there are intermediaries overseen by the Governments. Once an item is ordered, the producer will create that product and hands it over to the Sender on the producer side and liaises with Receiver on the consumer side, in respective countries, to complete the product transfer transaction.

Transportation has evolved so much that the last mile is no more a problem. The goods and services produced are transported to the consumers most efficiently. Part of the solution is, that there are no more intermediaries that exist. The goods manufactured ship straight to their destination. No store and forward necessary nor hoarding possible. This also eliminated overhead expenditures that get added to the finished product.

Adit's Quantum computing solutions in the areas of Cryptography, Artificial Intelligence, Supply-Chain, and Automation helped transform the entire production and transportation industry.

Producers Warehouse has become the central concept of the distribution of goods and services. These warehouses keep the product only to be transported out straight to the consumers just in time most efficiently. Produce come into the warehouse just-in-time to be packaged and transported.

The transportation revolution is the corner piece of the New-Age Economics success. The choice of channels of distribution, which was once fundamental in establishing the strategic direction for a business or consumer, is no more needed. It is now incumbent on the consumer or producer to choose the mode of distribution and transportation, that is most efficient for the given produce, as mutually agreed upon.

Goods are transported via cable cars all over the world, whether it's over land or water. Cables transportation leverages gravity to slide the containers. Loading and unloading are done with 0 energy spent by using the counterweights. The physical movement is achieved with 0 energy spent by leveraging the force of gravity. It's based on the cables between the towers with different heights, thereby achieving gravity differential and accomplishing natural and gravitational sliding along the slope angles. For emergencies, one could use additional powered mechanisms over the same cables for quicker transportation as the situation demands.

Analytics, IoT, Digital Ledger, and smart contracts govern the entirety of transactions, be it buy/sell, accounting, or record keeping for individual or business entitlements.

Drones, Cable Cars, Autonomous Driving, Satellite Internet, Hover Boards, Jet Packs, ships, and other vehicles have become common and deployed efficiently in everyday life.

Scene 6.3 - Consumption of Goods/Services

An individual’s state of well-being, or welfare, is not determined by economic factors alone. Personal and family circumstances, quality of health, and the satisfaction or lack of it derived from employment are just some other factors that affect welfare. It is difficult to imagine in an objective way which factors such as the above-mentioned could be quantified and more difficult to imagine the usefulness of including them in a system designed primarily to facilitate economic analysis.

Consumption plays an important role in the income and employment theory as advocated by John Maynard Keynes. Keynesian theory of economics states that if consuming goods and services does not increase the demand for such goods and services, it leads to a fall in production. But the New-Age thinking goes like this: One should not consume more than what they need and only that can be sustainably produced and supported in the context of the entire global population. One should not consume more than what is needed for the healthy well-being. Wants are classified as luxuries and can be ordered or bought using the expendable LifeScores.

Immediate use of goods and services constitutes consumption per the traditional definition. This does not consider the disproportionate consumption of goods and services by an individual, as witnessed in capitalistic societies. Modern-day consumerism, leading up to the 21st century, resulted in misuse and abuse of resources, exporting pollution and waste from rich countries to poor countries, frivolous extravagance because of excessive consumption, and farcical levels of waste, disparity, and poverty. This has become a vicious cycle of consumption imbalance between haves and have-nots.

The haves indulged in extravagance and, hence, wasteful consumption. The have-nots are usually at the pitiful end where they don't have enough, even for their basic needs.

New-Age Economics draws a clear distinction between proportionate and sustainable consumption versus wasteful and extravagant consumption. It also distinguishes the allocation of value by allocated income and by humanitarian income using LifeScore measures.

The factors of production, the resources, are highly valued. These are accounted to the last detail and allocated to the end consumer consumption. It's purely based on the current well-being state of a person while taking into account the context of the entire global population. Consider a trivial example: a plate full of meals when consumed only partly, and the rest thrown into the garbage, is considered a monumental waste of finite resources. This meal, when optimally consumed, will result in no wastage and everyone can have their fair share for consumption. A wealthy and highly accomplished individual will not consume more just because that individual can afford it unless of course, allowed as per individual LifeScore.

Adit worked out the last details of how the consumption needs to be fair and under guard. It's highly monitored and governed. New knowledge and advanced technology made it easy to envision and institute such controls at every level and in a fashion that is acceptable to every citizen of the New-Age countries. Adit made sure that personal freedom and privacy is not infringed following Vish's ideologies of self-respect and dignity being at the pinnacle and highest quality of human living.

Adit and the Core team drew up a Consumption Policy to be used at the country level, which roll-up to the international governing bodies. This is per Vish's New-Age ideology, where the context is global. Humanity is addressed as one and hence well-being is tackled singularly and globally. Adit and the Core team knew, with Vish's philosophy, that a human being is valued at the highest level and with the greatest respect and dignity. All actions should lead up to this dictum.

Leaders of respective countries will handle the Consumption according to the New-Age Economics where production, distribution, and consumption are fair in the global and humanity level context not just at the local, national or self-centered group level.

* * *

Scene 6.4 - Commerce/Trade

Vish realized that, along with the times, the ways of doing business evolved from barter system to colonization to commerce and to free trade as aided by the political and economic systems of the times and places. All the above-mentioned economic systems were based on profit generation and a motive that trickledown effect will cater to the entire population’s needs and wants. Vish opines under the various regimes the factors of production, means of distribution, and extent of consumption have become tools in the hands of powerful people or countries.

None of these methods succeeded to cater to the well-being of humanity at large. Most systems openly professed the betterment of haves by perpetuating the suffering of have-nots. Vish proposed for Universal Value system of the goods exchanged and an exchange method using Universal Currency, such as a Digital Token. The Core Team and Adit introduced the New-Age Coin, a digital currency. This covers transactions for the entire gamut of factors of production, means of distribution, and per capita level of consumption, as entitled by the LifeScore of the individual. The core tenets of such economics are the well-being of the entire humanity and not just to benefit of one person, group, or country.

Adit and the Core team understood the crux of Vish's New-Age Ideology, which encompasses all aspects of human life. They devised the new age principles by following Vish's New-Age Ideologies in letter and spirit. The principles cover economics, politics, administration, societal norms, technology, healthcare, and spirituality. These principles are the foundation of preserving the well-being of humanity in the larger human context.

Trade is referred to as a basic economic activity that involves buying and selling of different goods and services between two or more parties involved in the transaction at a certain price whereas Commerce involves all the activities that aid in promoting the exchange of goods and services from the manufacturer to the customer.

The 21st-century version of capitalism favored the creation of wealth by way of rewarding the creators or the entrepreneurs. This acted as a catalyst and accelerated the economic developments at an extremely rapid pace in a very short period. This has resulted in great riches for those who are smart and who could exploit the opportunities. Being smart and exploitative are the greatest traits one can have in the modern era. These people and organizations became powerful. So we see power is centered around very rich people and very rich countries. Fair credit is lacking in the advancements in economic developments that have viciously helped and catapulted by ever-advancing technology.

But the economic development has been flawed in that it neglected the well-being of humanity. Rich, smart, and able cornered majority of the rewards. People not so smart are outwitted and left behind mercilessly in the modern economic agendas.

The commerce and trade with various international agreements have become exploitative and with the sole aim of the self-benefit of the participating groups or countries. The larger context of humanity was never the concern.

That's the reason Adit liked Vish's New-Age Economics where all tools of well-being which include economics, politics, administration, governance, technology, and society at large are always viewed in the larger context and applied to the entire humanity. It's much like no soul forgotten in the pursuit of universal well-being.

New-Age World Society is the apex global organization that was formed along the lines of Vish's New-Age Ideology and formed, with the help of New-Age Countries and Core team, much like UN but only without its flaws or its weaknesses. There are 50 active member countries, including the 6 which already adopted the New-Age Governance along with 44 other countries which are willing and at various stages of converting to the New-Age Governance model. This apex organization provides guidance to the member countries in various areas of Economics, Politics, Administration, Governance, Technology, Education, R&D, and Healthcare.

Various committees under the New-Age World Society are formed and oversee making decisions for the member country's benefit.

Self-sufficiency at the personal level is impossible and the same goes for an individual country. So, in New-Age Ideology, Commerce and Trade are replaced with Equitable Exchange by value and as governed by the value arbitrators. This results in fair exchange and under the larger context of the well-being of humanity. This arrangement cancels the export and import concepts. The free movement of resources on the world stage by the value exchange mechanism allows for avoiding excesses and wasting of resources.

Adit had formulated the basis of exchange by value using the universal digital currency. It applies to all the transactions among people and countries. This is the New-Age Commerce and Trade. A new digital currency, the New-Age Coin, is introduced for the entirety of the transactions.

Scene 6.5 - Fiscal/Monetary

Viswas briefly describes the current prevalent and popular economic systems.

In capitalistic countries, monetary policy refers to central bank activities that are directed toward influencing the quantity of money and credit in an economy. By contrast, fiscal policy refers to the government's decisions about taxation and spending. Both monetary and fiscal policies are used to regulate economic activity over time.

The mixed economy definition is an economy where both the private market and the government control the factors of production. It is the most common form of economy that exists in the world today.

Government Policy - For shifting the aggregate demand, the below approximate formula is applied.

+ Monetary (Central Banks, Independent from Political Parties)

- Interest Rates

- Money Supply

+ Fiscal (by Govt)

- Tax

- Spend

Top 5 Economic Indicators to Track

Inflation - Inflation measures the cost of goods and services. …

Employment - People with jobs can spend and invest. …

Housing - In a land of increasing house prices, banks lend, and the economy booms. …

Spending - We live in a consumption-based society. …

Confidence - Although it is elusive, confidence drives everything.

A monetary system is the set of institutions by which money is maintained in an economy. At a minimum, such a system must provide means for maintaining accounts, performing transactions, resolving disputes, as well as making and servicing loans. If the US dollar were to falter, other monetary systems will compete to take its place.

Viswas underlines Vish’s New-Age Monetary System that centers on economic equity and stability. The New-Age Crypto currency was such a crypto currency, that probably the able to provide currency with inherently stable intrinsic value, interest payments, privacy, transparency, secure ownership, free real-time transactions, international borderless transferability and convertibility, a variety of payment methods, free basic account services, and a legal framework. It was designed to serve the people. The New-Age Coin is a revolutionary asset-backed cryptocurrency designed to address many deficiencies found in existing cryptocurrencies, such as a lack of identifiable intrinsic value, extreme volatility, and unsuitability for business operations.

Scene 6.6 - Applied Technology

Adit is a Technology scientist and an Economist. He could see early on what a little change here and a little tweak there in the technology hardware and software can make a huge difference in terms of computational efficiencies and benefits. Adit is strong in several computing areas such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Quantum Computing, and Artificial Intelligence. He holds several high-profile patents in all those computing areas. Adit's seminal contributions to technology and economics areas are phenomenal and ground-breaking. He created a highly secure and perseverance method of transactions in the economy that is well implemented in business, healthcare, and privacy.

Adit created hacker-proof cryptography using Quantum computing and the benefits are applied to secure communications, transactions, and storage. With his solutions, the vulnerabilities have disappeared in the computing world. They now focus on newer transactional applications never thought were possible. The Quantum Tokens helped in secure implementations of field IoT sensors. There are now billions of these sensors if you look at only the New-Age countries. These sensors gather and transmit real-time field data to the central servers. These servers provide compute-intensive quantum analysis, reporting, and feedback.

Adit with the help of the Core team drew up elaborate frameworks for various areas of transactions, be it for governments for local, national, international, and space agencies, Networking for businesses and communities, in the areas of auditable interactions.

The applied nature of these scientific inventions of Adit made it possible to succeed in real-life implementations across the board.

Chapter 7 - Peacefulness in Human life

Scene 7.1 - Time for Self

He needs no introduction, especially in East and West Europe nations. Once he embraced Vish's New-Age Ideology he is even more known and celebrated across the globe. He is Kirl, the mathematician, and a gentle philosopher from Russia. We know him for his extreme gentleness as he goes about his life. Kirl established that the Tenets of Social life, such as Integrity, Dignity, Compassion, Justice, and Trust, that touch all aspects of human life. The physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and intellectual aspects of a human need to be well understood and nurtured by everyone for the fulfillment of one's life. Kirl believes only then creativity will have the fullest play in our lives.

Kirl is in Hamburg, Germany to give a lecture and meet with a few friends there, including Rawpwr. The day after the concert, Kirl is to give a lecture.

Rawpwr was all smiles as he entered the concert Grand Hall in Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg at 7pm local time, fully lit and augmented with colors and haze, all controlled for special effects. The audience is large, almost 2100 strong. The enormous hall is filled up to capacity. Rawpwr opened the event for the night with a huge grin and with signature moves. The crowd went ecstatic. Rawpwr sang a couple of songs. As he moved from one song to another, he switched the instruments - Guitar to Flute to Piano. His music style is built on insistent and unique sounds that he creates. There is a theme and a tune for each song. Rawpwr composes his music, writes his lyrics, sings the melody himself, and plays crucial instruments. The followers range from all ages and all backgrounds, both rich and poor, all genders, and across the globe. The concert went on for three hours. Rawpwr raised both hands in a sign to show "Peace to all".

If you ask any random follower about what brings them on to his music you most likely hear that it's his lyrics. The lyrics are thought-provoking and heartfelt. The language is deep and subtle and with raw power. The words lend weight and mood to the theme. Rawpwr is a very successful musician. He is a global brand.

Crowd slowly exited the Grand Hall. Rawpwr exited the building from the backdoor. Kirl went out and walked around to meet with Rawpwr.

Mr. Kirl is a very good friend of Rawpwr. Kirl was especially impressed with the power of music from Rawpwr. Rawpwr can connect to millions of people. Kirl appreciates the reach of Rawpwr’s message among the general population. Rawpwr reciprocally cares very much for Kirl. Rawpwr thinks Kirl has been able to crack many of the social and philosophical issues plaguing society in current times. Kirl credits that to Vish. Kirl gave a copy of the book "Life's larger context" by Vish to Rawpwr. Rawpwr promised to read the book the next day as soon as he finishes on the piece of music he was working on.

They both went out to a local park and had a nice Nature Time. They briskly walked for some 2 miles along the Elbe river waterfront. Both wore caps to hide their faces partially to avoid quick identification, as both are well known in the public in that part of the country.

Kirl and Rawpwr agreed that there is wide support of people for Vish’s New-Age Ideology across the continents. They also noted that respect and dignity for fellow human beings as professed by Vish are very welcome among the populace, just like the Prime Directive principle depicted in the movie Star Trek. Vish had this principle extended to all things Nature as well such as Water, Land, Air and Space which are preserved in their pristine condition as much as possible.

Kirl is an ardent believer in focused time. He professes everyone should allow some percentage of their lives for individual time to think and do things as they like. Kirl is a big proponent of spiritual exercises such as meditation, contemplation, and debates. Follow up those results of spiritual exercises with actual real-world creative work such as construction, painting, music, researching, etc. Kirl thanks Vish for being overtly practical and for being insistent on real-world creations.

Kirl and Rawpwr retired into the night. Next day evening at 5 pm Kirl gives his lecture at Hall 424 Jürgen Carstensen e. K. which is walking distance from last night's concert at Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg.

Scene 7.2 - Time for Others

Kirl and Rawpwr stayed in separate hotels last night. But they got up a little late in the morning and walked to a nearby restaurant for a good brunch. After food, they grabbed a to-go coffee and walked to the Hall 424 Jürgen Carstensen e. K. which is not very far from the concert hall at Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg.

The leisurely walk took about 20 minutes and they both settled into the speakers' guest lounge area at the hall.

This is an interesting event that Rawpwr helped to create for Kirl. While Rawpwr provides the Jazz touch in the background, Kirl would speak to give his lectures and followed-up by Q&A sessions. This is not a huge indoor hall but can accommodate up to 200 people and has all the technical support for interactive sessions including Holoported participants in real-time. These virtual people were intermingled with regular people in the hall and seated and stood by the attendees. It's an interesting experiment that Rawpwr and Kirl pulled off.

Kirl was the main speaker and touched on many aspects of living as it relates to patience, kindness, diversity, and inclusiveness. He also stressed the need for hard work to help Self and for others. Spirituality is important in everyone's life. The practice of which highlights the significance or insignificance of a person in a society. Kirl quotes Vish saying, "You are what others think you are." Vish opines impact of a society is the collective strength of its members as exerted on its members. We should channel this social influence for the greater good of humanity, not just for that particular society.

Q&A session has Holoported participants asking questions. There were hands raised from the Hall and from the far-flung locations, such as space colonies represented in the hall through Holoportation technologies.

Kirl spent lots of his time teaching and spending on public projects such as planetariums, observatories, libraries, and science cities. He actively helped create such institutions in many European countries. Kirl believes in Vish's ideology that "Life is ephemeral but powerful. Use it for the benefit of all in the larger context of humanity's benefit." Viswas whispers, "Kirl knows that various the current social systems turned into self-centric which are detrimental to the society and humanity at large."

Kirl says over millennia of existence various economic, political, and social systems have gotten so wound up that people have become very self-centered. These systems rewarded greed. No wonder people became short-sighted, to the detriment of humanity.

Viswas says, "Vish thinks cosmology as a subject never loses its relevance." Viswas explains Vish's cosmic theory as "The stellar objects ever move away from each other until their matter dissipate, only to re-emerge from another area in the universe. It's the never-ending evolution that has alternating construction and destruction cycles."

Following Vish's thinking, Kirl says, "You should strive to prolong humanity on its way to dissipation at edges or that end for humanity happens sooner before realizing the fullest collective potential. The individual can choose either to propagate or destroy the collective humanity."

Scene 7.3 - Practice Tolerance, kindness, and compassion

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.” -Plato

Kirl is a staunch supporter of peace. He believes we attain peace with tolerance, kindness, and compassion. With Vish's theory of "Indulge in self-reflection and socialization every day", Kirl says, "one should meditate, think, and do good deeds."

Kirl helped create meditation and stretch centers across the globe. Kirl calls these centers as New-Age Cool-off centers. These centers offer the practitioners plenty of nature time besides the stretches. These centers can bring peace and wellness into life, as well as improve physical fitness. There are also elaborate garden vegetations, mimicking the local biome, created, and maintained for people to spend time with nature.

Kirl is very fond of mentioning a particular cool-off center in Uruguay. It is on the trans-border basin of the Uruguay River and Laguna Merin, located between Uruguay and Brazil. It has a 2 square kilometers mini aquatic biome associated with the cool-off center established there with the help of the New-Age Uruguay and Brazil governments.

Fishing is not allowed in this cool-off mini-aquatic biome. The Pejerreyes, Los pintados schools, Wolf fish, and several types of catfish flourish here. The vegetation section gets panic grass, pennywort, and yellow daisy along with the Cockspur coral tree, Humboldt's willow, Sarandí Colorado, and Tala trees. The center maintained the indoor section and outdoor section ratio at 1:100. There are very large meditation domes with the capacity to hold 2000 people and debating rooms to hold 30 people. Visitors from many countries come to this cool-off center.

Nicolas, Sofia, Francisco, Lucia, Bruno, Camila, Lucas, and Florencia are the staff members there maintaining the cool-off center. They get handsome LifeScores by helping with the cool-off center. Visitors love them. They show exemplary Tolerance, kindness, and compassion following Vish's New-Age Ideology in the highest spirit.

LifeScores get a boost by merely spending time in these cool-off centers. But the various helper roles get higher weightage and, hence, higher LifeScores. The local governments sponsor the infrastructure for the cool-off facilities. The core team sponsored several such cool-off centers to serve as guidelines for others to follow at other locations in various countries.

Kirl with other Core team members, especially Lea and Sparq, created the policy frameworks for these cool-off practice centers. New-Age Governments embraced these principles and implemented them sincerely. People in these countries became practitioners since the time spent at these locations benefits the individuals, including health, peace, and last but not least, get a LifeScore boost.

Kirl knows Vish's ideology is practical and not utopian. New-Age Ideology has freedoms and choices while also instituting checks and balances to contain unfettered volitions. The checks and balances are the composition of the LifeScore metrics and the New-Age Justice System.

According to Viswas, LifeScore makes people strive to follow the course of tolerance, kindness, and compassion. Viswas continues, "There are mechanisms to deter people not to follow certain paths that benefit only self or hurt others and mechanisms to motivate people to follow desirable paths that benefit humanity at large."

Kirl stresses Vish realized that for any philosophy to succeed, people need to exercise freedom and choice willingly. The New-Age Justice system and the LifeScore system provide such deterrence for wrongdoing and opportunity for exercising the choices freely.

Scene 7.4 - Indulge in Helping

Viswas declares that New-Age Ideology accomplishes what Vish emphasized as "One's best-self is when one is a graceful recipient and a kinder donor."

The Core Team understands the principles of philanthropy as an act of goodwill to help the fellow human beings. Kirl is a large-hearted fellow. He always comes out with ways and means to help others. He understands philanthropy's place for the mankind. Equity, justice and freedom are what he believes in.

Kirl with Lea and Maria developed policies and procedures for the philanthropy for the New-Age kind-hearted people. They created the organization called the New-Age Best-Self (NABS) at the apex level to mirror, well, the best-self! There is a NABS organization at various levels of the central government. New-Age Governance had established organizations at local community, county and rolling up into the Apex country level org.

The foundational principle is as simple as what Vish emphasized for the donor, a kinder donor. The New-Age Best-Self (NABS) organization is built on offering help based on equity, justice and progress to the needy.

Every New-Age country has NABS organizations as its core organizations supporting the governance at various levels. These organizations offer opportunities for donations, volunteer time, sharing knowledge and resources, and advocacy of ideas.

All recipients and donors get transparent feedback. This mechanism gives a measure of learning more about themselves. It increases trust, improves morale, lowers stress, and increases happiness for both recipients and donors.

NABS organization had institutionalized the philanthropy under the aegis of the New-Age Governance. The net excess funds, after all the recipients got their share, are allocated to the sectors and geographies as identified by the respective governments. These allocations can go to R&D, Education, Health, Infrastructure, Social Services, etc. which ever may require funds in the respective jurisdictions.

The New-Age Governance countries Norway, New Zealand, Slovenia, Namibia, Uruguay and the UAE have all implemented the NABS structure. New-Age policies made sure that the philanthropic activities are judiciously aligned with the LifeScores. It also made sure that the allocations are not abused nor mis-used by the recipients.

Kirl, Lea and Maria had implemented dos and don'ts for the recipients. NABS tracked the recipients of donations for the improvements in their lives. No one can continuously receive the donations. The NABS agreement with recipient is, they go off the needy list once they are benefited materially and socially. As with LifeScore strict implementation go, everyone got to work hard and not be abusers of the system.

NABS accepts the donations of various kinds from every person. School going children can help old-age people with daily chores. This was the kids who rack up their LifeScores even in their childhood. Able-bodied persons can offer physical help for various activities such as construction, buildings or any manual labor for others or governments. Money and LifeScores donation is accounted in the books and allocated per the needs of the society as laid down by the governments.

Scene 7.5 - Practice Diversity and Inclusiveness

Vish proclaims, "Life flourishes in diversity but perishes in exclusivity. Diversity and inclusiveness are necessary conditions for life."

Kirl follows this dictum in his workings, be it with Cool-Off centers or planetariums, or in a multitude of his lectures. Kirl and the Core team provide equal opportunity with dignity and respect. This is truly in line with Vish's New-Age Ideology, which aims for the well-being of humanity at large.

The Core team believes New-Age Ideologies must offer approaches for planetary health and ecological harmony. Kirl and Lea connected with an organization called "Flourishing Diversity" which strives to align cultural practices for the greater good of earthlings while nourishing the ecosystem.

Modern societies up to the end of 21st-century acted as if the technological achievements mattered most and viewed it as progress. This resulted in ignoring diversity and inclusiveness and forgetting and leaving behind the indigenous communities. This had destroyed the climate. Modern society endangered the sustainability of the planetary ecosystem. Vish realized this and adopted the Star Trek movie franchise' Prime Directive principle.

Vish emphasized, "No culture to be vaulted for storage." Kirl states, "New-Age Ideologies facilitate the socio-cultural equilibrium." Only with diversity and inclusiveness in all dealings do we attain such socio-cultural equilibrium, which can be defined as "a state where various socio-cultural factors are in harmonious play with each other and with dignity and respect."

The Core team embraces the central tenets of Vish's New-Age Ideology. Dignity and respect are one of the primary aspects of the ideology. The Core team incorporated the equal opportunity principles in employment and access to resources with dignity and respect that every human being deserves.

Branches of the Justice System focused on implementing the diversity and inclusiveness would handle the deviations from the enforcement. Kirl, Lea and Maria helped create various organizations within Justice System to enforce these principles at various government levels.

The enablers of these principles are the people who perform roles of teachers, judges, healthcare workers, etc. The inequalities result from biased approaches based on the class, region, race, national and sexual and other orientations. These biases are deep-rooted within the humans and are natural.

Vish says, "Humans flirt with inhumane actions. That ironically makes them humans." In order for the equity and justice to be achieved, these biases need to be checked. Viswas says, "LifeScore assignment is one big solution." LifeScore formula addresses a lot of issues that plague humanity in one stroke. The LifeScore system, while rewarding beneficial behaviors, discourages the non-beneficial behaviors.

End: Eternal Quest for better things

We owe this to ourselves. We owe this to humanity. We owe this to all of our surviving species.

Vish's thoughts rapidly scrolling… these ideas for well-being have been conceived since ages in various formats but the implementation mechanisms or relevant details are scant or fall short of a good practical solution. He thought of his closest of friends - Ms. Maria from Mexico, Mr. Adit from Japan, Ms. Lea from France, Mr. Kirl from Russia, Ms. Sparq from UAE, Ms. Grace from Namibia - who revere him as the savior of humanity in the modern 22nd century era. He knew that they believed in Vish's thoughts have highest relevance to the well-being of humanity in the last millennium.

He was proud of these friends who like true believers and followers took it upon themselves to spread the word of change and change to better and to dignified lives. A humanity where individuals have freedom, respect, dignity and a chance to participate. People will have choice to their own preferences under the larger context of peaceful life.

There is new rule of law, and this new law dictates that every action is meant to help society. It's the fair game in the context of wellbeing and perpetuation of humanity.

Scene 7.6 - Is it Death Bed

People witnessed from across the globe and on various colonies the condition of Vish. The unknown location shared Vish's real time health information holographically. People equipped with highly secure decoding devices etched in body could listen to his utterances and watch some visuals.

The setting seemed like a death bed scenario at some location nobody knows where. Only his immediate family members and six of his staunch sworn followers know of the whereabouts of the location.

There are white transparent wires and colorful tubes connected to the bed from around the room and converged into the body around lower and upper halves. Vish’s eyes occasionally open and frequently half closed, breathing heavily, writhing occasionally what seemed like in pain or nodding to his own thoughts.

Reflecting with a few family members gathered around him, Vish thought the turmoil will get around to a solution in the bigger countries as well across the globe. His thought patterns are translated and projected onto a holographic screen by the side of his head. They are steady and peaceful that's shown in the color and the movements across that screen.

Hya said countries like USA, China, India, Russia, Chile, Turkey and Brazil are on internal wars. People want to replace their own political systems with New-Age Ideology, the newly developed and implemented successfully in smaller countries around the world.

Nya said the colonies on various planets are still getting used to the news of the social changes on Earth. It's like Earth 2.0. She also noted other colonies in near Earth systems are fighting internally and among themselves for resources. Each wants a bigger share of help from Mother Earth.

Ani came around and touched my forehead. It felt reassuring and felt like she knows I'm fighting for life and that I will make it to the next phase of my fight. She knew that I will hang on to fight till the Dream of Social Justice is realized in my lifetime.
