Divisions
Go to section page: Project GDivisions
The Divisions are groups of people assigned to a discrete function, that clearly forwards the Objectives.
Key points:
- There should be 10-20.
- The functions should overlap little.
The Divisions:
- Science
- Find models of the natural world.
- Engineering
- Use models of the natural world, to design new things, and improve old designs.
- Computer
- Store information
- Websites
- Mass computation
- Computer security
- Agriculture
- Feed citizens
- Industrial
- Build designs
- Mass production
- Maintenance
- Infrastructure
- Transportation and distribution
- Plumbing, power
- Education
- Teach the next generation, and new citizens
- High Command
- Modify and create policies and standards
- Military strategy
- Foreign Affairs
- Recruitment
- Military Intelligence
- Medical
- Heal citizens
- Military
- Military strategy
Notes:
- It doesn’t make sense to split science into separate divisions for fields in it, as they draw on each other so much. Likewise for Engineering.
- “Library” isn’t such a good name for what I have in mind for this division, which would also include developing social websites, mass calculations and security. Changing it to “Computer.”
Problems:
- Agriculture and Industrial overlap a bit, but I think that the actual work being done (tending plants vs. building machines) is different enough.
- If high command is a group of 10-20 division commanders it doesn’t make much sense for it to be an entire division.
- it is important to colonize other planets right? who is in charge of that?
- there was originally a separate “entertainment” division in the old document, I may have undervalued its importance
- I dint have a science and enggeing division
[2:10:52 PM] Kamen: each division had scienteists and egeneers
[2:11:01 PM] Kamen: and they degines things for that division- This could still be the case, but since (for example) the engineers in military focus on combat they would send a detailed request to engineering division to have them perfect it and flush it out into something that can be plugged into industrial for mass production.
