Return to “What is ObliNet?”

13. A brief definition

Social ObliNet is a concept for a network connecting the needs of people and society with the capabilities of citizens, businesses, civil society organisations and governing bodies.

Rather than waiting passively for decisions, people would be able to propose initiatives, pool resources and align joint action.

The central idea is to create conditions in which society becomes an active participant in its own development.

14. A simple explanation

Many problems can be solved if people learn to act together.

Social ObliNet is intended to bring residents, civil society organisations, businesses and public authorities together to address shared challenges.

Anyone would be able to suggest an idea, contribute and see how joint efforts improve life.

15. Social ObliNet — a society that can reach agreements

Society includes people with different needs, interests, capabilities and views of how life should be organised.

Even when people want to solve the same problem, they may understand its causes, the action required and the desired outcome differently.

Social ObliNet proposes a way to build and continuously maintain mutual understanding among citizens, civil society organisations, businesses and governing bodies.

With AI assistance, participants would be able to identify their needs and capabilities, compare different perspectives, uncover contradictions and find mutually acceptable solutions.

Example: improving a shared courtyard

Residents want to improve their courtyard.

Some want a playground, others need parking, and others want a quiet green space.

Instead of endless arguments, ObliNet would help establish what really matters to each group, what constraints exist, what can be combined and which details require agreement.

Once a solution is found, the system would help align action: who is responsible for what, which resources are needed, what delivery depends on and how the result will be assessed.

But coordination does not end there.

If circumstances change, new needs emerge or disagreements arise, participants would be able to clarify their positions again and adjust their agreements.

The essence of Social ObliNet is to create conditions in which people with different views and interests can continuously find mutual understanding and act in alignment to address shared challenges.

No one is required to give up their beliefs, interests or autonomy. Shared decisions rest on informed agreement about specific issues and commitments.
