Deliberation-action cycle

Delibration-action cycle

The purpose of deliberation is to help a group coordinate, according to deliberative values. Deliberation creates social object networks (SON), which help the group communicate with clarity.

Coordination can be about setting rules of how to use a common resource (non-interference) or working in coordination or aggregation to achieve some common goal (active collaboration).

All knowledge of the social object network is under the falsification criterion, therefore all knowledge should be falsified, tested, and corroborated. The group should produce in time a corroborated knowledge, which will help the members decide together, produce and choose better options together.

The second purpose of liberation is to find the best option which the group should take, to achieve their goals or temporary goals for achieving their aligned interests.

If a common issue arises, all the members can suggest options for solutions, and help each other improve options.

According to deliberation values, options will be evaluated and selected according to the optimal personal good principle. The members should act according to the decisions, and produce soft measures which will motivate members to follow the decisions (reaching consensus, removing from the group, etc.).

The members will be able to investigate the actions and learn from them. They will be able to suggest new solutions to the issue or reframe the issue. This cycle of SON-deliberation-options-evaluation+improvment-selection-action-learning should improve the ROI of the members according to the optimal personal good, with time and cycles.

Through the deliberation-action cycle, the level of trust of the members in other members and in the groups to get better ROI should increase, if the knowledge is corroborated, and members do not abuse the trust other members put in them. If the trust is elevated, members will be ready to invest more resources.

When a group creates highly corroborated knowledge, and the trust between rises, the ROI should increase dramatically, therefore helping the members achieve their goals, in a more effective way.
