The risk that developing- and developed countries have in common

- other than environmental

(first published on alevemine.com on March 30, 2024)

Spoiler alert: What developing- and developed countries both need in order to survive is first and foremost: a visceral understanding of risk recursion. The risk that they have in common is that of a lack of adequate communication of this specific risk.

This risk isn’t yet relevant within developing countries, but it already is within developed countries. In other words, developing countries hold the key - the clarity - needed to make their own economies viable. But ironically, this involves saving the developed countries from the developed countries themselves, because the developed countries do not hold that key. Developing countries only have a brief window of opportunity to use that key, because very soon (not only I won’t be able to pursue this further otherwise, but also) they won’t understand what they currently understand anymore. Please read on for more on this.

In the elaboration below, I will often refer to or use concepts from the white paper https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10633773 which defines the “margin problem” and the proposed approach to it: the international and global governance process of Resilience-to-Robustness Equilibrium “RRE”, which is unchanging with changes in tech, and involves the vector M as the measure of human - for lack of a word that doesn’t have an environmental connotation - sustainability, and the human functions, here called Resilience and Robustness Factors (“RRFs”). The resulting new economic framework is illustrated there with the graphic called “the oval”. This approach considers the entire human system and all risks at the same time. The rest of the document assumes that the reader has read said white paper, yet brings information for those who didn’t.

Recommendations:

For developing countries, bilateral negotiations display an unequal footing and multilateral negotiations should be preferred if the parties with weaker positions join forces into a team work. In negotiations of large scope, such as those in the framework of the Summit of the Future, more bargaining chips are on the table and parties in need may we willing to cut too deep into their flesh to obtain vital outcomes. Therefore, in such negotiations, a foregoing agreement on what should and should not be allowed in such agreements in today’s circumstances should be put in place. The requisites of RRE are those rules.

These requisites are: The preconditions for the maintenance of our ability to implement RRE; The upholding of our ten RRFs in the context of successive strategies in the light of scenarios, where much focus needs to go to the “non-sundering” function therein; The use of the vector M in context as the measure of sustainability; The new systemic thinking approach on which RRE is based. These rules should be applied to all decisions and structures, and should shape accounting, indicators, tax&pricing, tech use, R&D, institutional structures and more.

These requisites constitute a comprehensive agreement on just transaction where the exploitative or damaging character of each action or change on each factor touching people is addressed. This necessarily yields an as circular as possible economy and an appropriate treatment of sunk assets, and should be put in place as soon as possible and preferably before any other new agreements.

Certain soft skills should be fostered: Such as the ability to take conceptual or abstract reasoning as a basis for decisions, as such reasoning enhances the visibility of our complete system to decision makers; And such as the ability to accept and come to terms with the erroneousness of the own past decisions and harmfulness of the own past actions.

In multistakeholder, national and international consultations and deliberations, in-depth disclosures should be made available to all the involved, and one’s way of dealing with the items in these disclosures should be proactively communicated in relation to each subject of discussion. Indeed, sufficient separation of powers is not possible.

A coordinated and carefully planned transition to the fundamentally different economic system implied by RRE should be put into effect as soon as possible. The only alternatives are an uncoordinated transition with avoidable damage, and, without this transition, a continued exponential rise of premature risk and damage, in particular at the level of decision makers, until individual (including in current generations) or collective complete damage, depending on the point of view taken.

Pivotal Times

As of today, delegates of developing countries, with a certain potential of decision power at the global level, understand that something needs to change in the directionality of the current international and global governance for the sake of developing countries. Those whom I converse with tend to intuitively understand that RRE is a better way. In particular, it is not necessary for them to understand the risk recursion component (which says that any risk you’d transfer onto another container of the system would continue traveling across the system, transforming at each boundary, and come back to bite you) of the margin problem in order to come to a healthy conclusion.

This window of local clarity may nevertheless not last. While a vertical decolonisation is taking place and we are greatly focused on race and inclusion when thinking of any policy, a horizontal recolonisation is happening through the back door, leading to a situation where the affected will not have a delegate with influence in the governance scene. Such autocolonisation is also in question in developed economies, including the most advanced. As an example, let me cite the rerouting of damaged foods, without labelling them as such, to a low tier of produce or to food banks, in the name of food waste reduction. The levels of toxins in food that is rerouted in that manner appear not to be checked, at least by some players. We are currently signalling a seemingly green light to start exploiting one’s own, or, for that matter, anyone, as long as they are diverse. Thus the future developing country representatives with a certain potential of decision power, or a voice, might end up being ones who feel the same way as those with decision power today in developed countries. The catch is that these disregard the possibility that they would wake up tomorrow morning in a to-be-exploited or to-be-discarded social category, or, for lack of a reference frame, the possibility that this process would damage any members of their current categories, whereby members that are victims of damage may not be audible or visible, or the thought may be disturbing enough to be buried and avoided, or another solution may not be visible or graspable.

It becomes nearly impossible to make decision makers with sufficient power understand that they are harming themselves. Once the representatives of developing countries will be composed of such individuals, they, too, will need to get convinced of the significance, if not the very existence, of risk recursion, in order to want to implement RRE in the first place.

This means that we have very little time to change the system for the better.

Path Dependency

Today, governments are being hollowed out and international organisations are drying out. Governments are being dispossessed of financial wealth if not (yet) also of a public currency, through a myriad of vehicles such as blended finance, PPPs, grants immediately handed to the private sector by the receiving charities, and more, often labeled as having the purpose of de-risking or investment crowding-in. Governments are also largely being removed from operational power and dispossessed of intangible wealth and ever more of the access to and ownership of their resources and authority of all kinds: the identities of and access to their citizens and the services thereof, the access of their citizens to products and services, intangible social wealth such as the relationships and communication between and information of and on people, the shaping of curricula in education, infrastructure and procurement decisions and the returns of investments therein, military capabilities, ever more lawmaking and soon the executive (insurances with dynamic fees and autonomous weapons come to mind first), cadasters, underground resources and now nature itself. Governments are being bypassed by all means and using, via a process of socialisation, all manners of peri- and paranational actors that possibly can be leveraged. Private actors now often hold the operational power: they can or could “press the button”. These are concerning, because the private sector is not the party carrying the responsibility about citizens, or about people who are not in their value chains. (And because it likes to rush head first into the scaling of the use of new technologies, partly because development roughly takes place in production or by and tested on the consumers, partly because of investment rationale of the type “we disregard risks”, if I may make the comparison, just like we did when scaling the use of fossil fuels back in the day.)

The policies that move in that direction are shaped by entities with private stakes. No other entity out there and no NGO will propose an appropriate global governance solution because all are bound to or influenced by partial (as in not impartial) and/or private stakes, while the best solution can only be reached in a truly independent state, from a truly impartial, meaning truly encompassing, angle of view, via abstract thinking. OGI is an exception that provides an ephemeral chance to actually solve for humanity. This was made possible by the freeing of my meagre personal savings, built on a diverse experience of ways of thinking and ignited by my own visceral understanding of the significance of the margin problem. Such independence cannot last as the current system is designed in a way that makes this impossible in the long run. Therefore either parties will grab this fish while it is out of the water, or this option will disappear into the vast depths of the ocean just as it had appeared out of nowhere.

More on the state of Developing Countries

Developing countries face a worsening sovereign debt, exacerbated by the rise of rents to be paid for economic activity and built solutions. The upcoming tax negotiations at the UN and efforts to unlock all existing stores and types of currencies appear to be aiming to solve this problem. But this feeds right back into the points above about recolonisation and the hollowing of governments. Any supplemental tax that may soon be collected will flow right back to some investors through the mentioned financial vehicles. Humanitarian action itself is becoming a business that makes use of the crowding-in paradigm.

Developing countries have an unequal basis in the international affairs arena: the overwhelming activity exhausts (all) delegates and the countries or coalitions with the strongest influence, information and negotiation power are set to prevail.

A ruthless period of efforts by various stakeholders/parties to secure their access to resources in various countries and elsewhere is to be expected, especially with the energy transition which requires a plethora of critical raw materials (CRMs). In the process, the challenge of developing countries whose underground resources include such CRMs (or included coal) will be to obtain just transactions, respectively a just transition. Indeed, each transaction is a transition, and the RRE aims to systematise “justness” in all transactions.

Meanwhile, the Environment

In the backdrop such intense mining, with the ensuing environmental and human damage, competition leads to globally redundant and sensor- and actuator-rich infrastructure and equipment construction, raising CO2 emissions and pollution and disrupting ecosystems further.

Pricing as solution to sustainability merely displaces the access to consumption toward the richer. One may say there is only so much that a person can consume, no matter the wealth, but today, with automation, the sky is soon the limit. A single wealthy and authoritative person, in the absence of most other human population, would be able to draw in an immense consumption with the proxy of machines. This also means that the shrinking of population would not solve for environmental sustainability.

In Conclusion

The current economic system is not sustainable in itself and leads to a system that looks, seen from here, quite like a dystopia from all points of view. It is necessary to make decisive changes to our current directionality without any delay.

Only the developing countries can make this happen today, and they only have an extremely short period of time to make this happen, after which the option stops existing.

How Innovation Is Reshaping the Food Industry

Food innovation refers to introducing novel ideas, products, and technologies that change how society produces, processes, packages, distributes, and consumes food. It goes beyond merely creating new recipes or flavors - food innovation encompasses advances in agriculture, food science, sustainability, and packaging. The goal is to enhance efficiency, safety, nutrition, and the overall consumer experience.

The need for food innovation arises from the ever-changing demands of consumers and the pressing challenges faced by the industry. As the global population continues to grow, so does the demand for food. Additionally, sustainability concerns, climate change, and limited resources prompt exploring alternative food growing and production methods. Innovations in food aim to enhance food security, minimize environmental impact, and offer consumers healthier, more diverse options.

Food innovation occurs through a combination of research, collaboration, and creativity. Scientists, entrepreneurs, farmers, and food industry professionals work together to develop new technologies and processes. Research institutions and startups play a crucial role in conducting experiments, testing new concepts, and bringing innovative products to the market.

In recent years, the food industry has witnessed groundbreaking innovations reshaping how people interact with food. The plant-based movement has gained immense traction, with plant-based alternatives for meat, dairy, and seafood becoming mainstream. Companies have developed plant-based burgers, vegan cheeses, and sustainable seafood alternatives using cutting-edge technologies. Beyond plant-based options, innovations have also focused on alternative protein sources, such as insect-based proteins and lab-grown meats, offering sustainable and protein-rich alternatives.

Swedish startup Mycorena is boosting microbial protein production through its fungi-based mycoprotein called Promyc. This ingredient can be used to create meat and tuna alternatives, beverage additives, and dessert ingredients, offering plant-based and sustainable options for consumers.

Finnish startup Onego Bio has developed a product genetically identical to egg whites using fermentation, and without using actual chickens. It uses precision fermentation of a microflora called Trichoderma reesei to produce ovalbumin, the protein found in chicken egg whites. This technology offers a sustainable and animal-friendly alternative for various food applications, including baked goods, desserts, sauces, and dressings.

Companies like New Culture are incorporating animal-free casein into their cheeses through precision fermentation. This breakthrough allows them to produce animal-free mozzarella cheese, offering a delicious and cruelty-free alternative to traditional dairy products.

In addition, consumers increasingly seek transparency in food choices, leading to the clean label movement. Brands are responding by using simple natural ingredients and avoiding artificial additives and preservatives.

Breakthrough innovations in the food industry are revolutionizing how society grows, produces, and consumes food, focusing on sustainability, nutrition, and convenience. One such innovation is plastic-free and smart packaging. Food companies are exploring biodegradable and even edible packaging solutions in response to environmental concerns. Smart packaging using nanotechnology is also gaining popularity, allowing consumers to assess food safety and quality easily.

The Internet of Things (IoT) in agriculture employs sensors and data analytics for optimizing crop conditions, irrigation, and pest control, reducing resource usage. Food waste reduction solutions, such as surplus food redistribution platforms, are being developed to combat the global food waste crisis. Moreover, biotechnology and data science advances enable personalized nutrition, tailoring dietary recommendations to individuals based on their genetic makeup, lifestyle, and health goals. These innovations promise a more sustainable, healthier, and efficient food future.

Food innovation is driving a remarkable transformation in the food industry, responding to the challenges and opportunities of today. From new plant-based products to sustainable agriculture and cutting-edge technologies, the future of food promises to be more diverse, nutritious, and sustainable. As consumers, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders continue to embrace innovation, the food industry's journey toward a more resilient and conscious future is set to continue.

Brief: Overview of and reasoning behind the Resilience-to-Robustness Equilibrium (RRE) process proposed under the Qaucus programme of the OneGoal Initiative for Governance (OGI)

(first published on alevemine.com on February 27, 2024)

HIGHLIGHTS:

The best attainable global and international governance from the point of view of the decision maker necessarily minimizes the margin problem, which is made of four fundamental systemic dynamics, and RRE was designed for this.

Ignoring the margin problem inexorably leads to exponential or sudden loss of life potential, particularly from the decision maker point of view.

Implementing RRE enables the minimization of damage, particularly for the decision maker standpoint, no matter the technological advancements.

THE PROBLEM DECISION MAKERS FACE: THE “MARGIN PROBLEM”

The “Margin Problem” is the situation that arises though the following four perennial processes that lead to the divergence of our actions from those that could bring about the best outcome - for us as humanity and in particular for us as decision makers:

Internal Drive: The tendency to seek safety and security for oneself and for persons or groups of one’s predilection.

Incompleteness of Knowledge: Notwithstanding the impossibility of complete knowledge, what informs our decisions today is unnecessarily skewed information.

Risk Recursion: Transferred risks keep a momentum and continue being transferred to adjacent compartments and transformed at each step. Time to recurrence isn’t necessarily long. De-risking without worsening one’s own risks is only feasible when risk is deleted without creating or worsening other risks anywhere in the system that is constituted by humans and the environment they are interacting with taken together, be it on Earth or elsewhere.

The Risk Arrow: Risks grow at every action as well as with the evolution of systemic processes, due to the compounding of side effects.

These mean that we the decision makers not only are drifting away from our best outcome, but also that we don’t have any option to transfer risks.

SOLUTION ALTERNATIVES

Because of the universal nature of systems, the overall structure of a solution necessarily correspods to that of RRE: a permanent goal, functions and their leeways, and successive strategies, all from the human standpoint. Narrowing the details thereof to reflect the actual system the humans, their structures and environment form leads specifically to RRE.

In context, the vector M of risks to our functions is the single measure of sustainability.

“The oval” provides an overview of functions. The permanent goal can be formulated as human durability with respect for the depicted vital values:

A more detailed desciption is available in the RRE White Paper at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10633773

HOW AND WHEN TO IMPLEMENT

The implementation must be whole and intact, because the omission or modification of elements yield a poorer outcome: RRE enhances the effectiveness of governance, therefore a full alignment of policies with the actual human system is critical. To that end, the implementation should be made with OGI, which provides the required consequence upon the observed state of affairs, while conveying the visceral understanding that enables such consequent action may not be systematically possible.

RRE ideally should have been implemented in any feasible shape from our dawn, but it is particularly pertinent now partly because it is on the table now for the first time, and partly because we are making uniquely big decisions in rapid succession in conjunction with a rapid technological evolution and a trend toward “blobbalisation” - processes that lead to cluster risk, whereby systemic losses tend toward the “blobbalized”, or “made effective”, de-facto goal’s. In other words, mistakes made now are most powerful mistakes.

The steps to be taken are as follows:

The development of the corresponding ICT platform and design of synchronized procedures, in parallel to legal texts’ formulation;

The initiation of an international and/or global implementation;

Universalisation and the upholding of the process.

ANNEX

A notable fallacy:

Our current governance, in its very attempt to change, starts out with in-the-box self-restrictions that make it impossible (yet this we must overcome) for a truly useful approach to get initiated or to take hold. In doing so, it perpetuates the processes that brought us to such a difficult and problematic situation as today’s, be it in a belief such as that of the absence of an alternative or of this being a phase after which things get better with the endless help of innovation and creativity in our current directionality.

The awareness of RRE as an approach and of the margin problem itself, perhaps notably of the risk arrow, provides the insight that these beliefs are erroneous: human potential after each such phase is greatly reduced, as depicted in the following figure through a series of Warshaw circles representing each such cycle, with sizes shrinking similarly to the rising frequency of oscillations in a single Warshaw circle:

The Warshaw circle is used here because the container model* of the economic cycle yields a view of the cycle as seen from one container across time that, in a reiterating pseudo-apocalyptic paradigm, will look exactly like the Warshaw circle:

*Undesirable side effects of economic activity feed back into all agents and factors involved. The container model of the economy describes these as leaky and interlinked fluid-holding containers in a non-homogenous gravitational field, respectively with pumps between containers, that get damaged and damage adjascent containers depending on their capacitive state and their flows, whereby breaches of the structurally encapsulating containers entail restructuring and scavenging among the there encapsulated containers, until the most encapsulating one breaks, point where survival or restructuring become impossible and the remainders of the system terminally collapse. The containers represent items involving capacity, inventory and the structures needed to fulfill all functions as defined by the Resilience and Robustness Factors (RRFs). The most encapsulating container regards the simultaneous viability of the habitat and territory functions. This model is representative of the margin problem. As in ecology, a container’s status across time is a function of all containers’ statuses across time. None is independent. In this paradigm, the scalability of a business process is generally the definition of a market failure. Appropriate scaling actions can only be short term in a way that is tailored to the topology of the overall system. Such would be the introductory phase of the deployment of the RRE process, or a phase of human expansion. Functionally, what is outside of a container can be computed as being inside of that container. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) fluctuation is a function of the status of the respective containers captured by the concept of GDP, not more: not of our actual system.
