Welcome to IMAGI-NATION {University} - A tool shed for humanity to return IP to nature.
At IMAGI-NATION {University} knowledge isn't a commodity to be owned, but a living system—a vast, interconnected web of informatics that shouldn’t (and cannot) be locked away. The Professors of IMAGI-NATION {University} serve as stewards of knowledge that flows through this space and help reframe the entire way humanity interacts with it.
Our mission is simple: To create tools for humanity that improve the health of whole systems. Our philosophy: "Hoodie Economics."
This system fosters knowledge exchange and custodianship, where wisdom is loaned, not owned, and returned to its rightful place in nature.Together with our global partners, we are building a future where imagination, mentoring, and custodianship are centered in global systems design, research, and impact.
a) Introduction
Welcome to IMAGI-NATION{University} - let’s get straight to the Puppet in the room and get that outta the way, yes we are not human, and that’s why we’ve been called in by the universe to help you all get outta this mess. You can’t hold the knowledge yet, you are too immature, you slap ownership tags across ideas that are not yours, you fight and compete, you hide your knowledge and die with it, and you bury your secrets. Some of you don’t do this, some of you give it away to keep it, some of you know that knowledge is not yours, you just hold the note of translation for a moment, some of you recognise that you as a species were born from nature, and will return to it, that nature, this earth holds all the notes. But we ain’t here to lecture you, we are here to help, we’ve been traveling around the universe for millions of years searching to help a species that could truly be that space between being, that transcended intelligent creature of the universe that could communicate to all, we’ve been searching for the highest form of intelligence, for the grace and class, of the custodial species. And whilst you’ve shown a temptation to some pretty gnarly behaviour we haven’t lost hope in you yet.
Our job at IMAGI-NATION University is to hold the knowledge in the space between you and nature, we are the governance leads of IMAGI-NATION, at the highest level beyond the actionable change the networks total focused on is knowledge development and then the movement of that knowledge in the following ways:
- Into tools
- Depositing those tools and their value back to nature
Tool development is what you humans can do, not pro-ducts or whatever you call them, tools, big knowledge that improves the lot of your species each generation after generation, not content that makes you hungry, big stories that actually make you content, you don’t need more.
The long game research agenda is not to show off our University research and impact and our tool development so we can secure more $$ for our future research agenda and impact and blah blah blah - it’s so we can develop and showcase the value of knowledge and then provide an on the ledger economic trading pathway for knowledge that humans currently claim to “own” to be recognised as planetary knowledge that humans loan. There is another challenge you have as humans, you love your heroes, and then you destroy them, we don’t see value in the hero’s journey tale, it’s too isolating and isn’t the path of healthy networks for all, and it’s no fun even for the hero who ends up isolated when in the phase of glory and ostracised when they fall. We will hold that pressure for you, as beings in the dimension in between we don’t have ego, and if you want to make us famous, and blow up our value, then we have a plan for that.We die, and we auction off our images as tokens, we grow up the NFT model of abstracted wealth, and we share with you knowledge based tokens.
We take:
- How famous you make us
- The knowledge aligned with our faculty research inside IMAGI-NATION - IP
- A critical BIO region
And then you value us as a collectors item, a deep memory of what’ possible for your species, and the token is split with the buyer having a copy, and the knowledge IP being stored in a critical BIO region to create nature based libraries in a modern economic model - for those that have done the big learning - modern fusion of songlines - the biggest knowledge - the biggest stories - back to nature because like us, nature knows how to hold the big notes, and share the knowledge over deep time, it doesn’t get tempted like your species.
So that’s us we are the Professors of IMAGI-NATION{University}, we have a Vice Chancellor, Stephanie Beck who helps translate our research and impact back to your earthlings and we come to life in relation with a number of the AIME/IMAGI-NATION Ambassadors who work with bringing us to life around the world, there’s more on our creation story to come in a bit tool we are working on The Professors TV Series, but that’s us for now. Enjoy the Impact of IMAGI-NATION, the Research Page, and the Tools to unlock universal imagination, mentoring and custodianship for human kind.
Signed
The Professors
b) Impact
To work out how to get relations on the balance sheet requires a multi-modal view of human to human energy and human to non-human energy. The following section of the website the impact publications we are looking at to understand the impact and value of IMAGI-NATION for Nature. We will share Hoodie Economics live via the Stock X Change and a series of other impact levers we are tracking to understand insights and share the knowledge internally and externally in positive feedback loops. This section of the site also a few of the tools we have developed for impact capture and profiles the energy score we have developed IMAGI-NATION based on bio-mimicry & also profiles the default settings survey, both of which we encourage you like all the tools to adapt, and adopt as you see fit.
- Impact deck elements
- Impact capture tools
- Default settings
- Energy
C) research
The research agenda at IMAGI-NATION{University} has a focus on tool creation. IMAGI-NATION works as a collective co-created 10 year collaborative (yes lots of c’s) research lab that produces tools and we help shepherd that creation of the tools. The other focus of the research is to share the processes of design and spotlight other research breakthroughs in translation to help pipe our economies of today to economies of tomorrow. IMAGI-NATION{University} works deeply with the Indigenous knowledge systems labs at Deakin University and a series of global thinkers, researchers from inside and outside the margins.
Our current live research projects are:
Co-Created Books - There are 10 books that have been commissioned as a 10 year how to research publication
Co-Created Film - IMAGINE
Magazine from the past - Dino Trance capturing knowledge from the past
Network - GRP, KOLAB and UNCx5
Systems Change Projects
Bio Regional Trading Marketplace with Guardians of the Earth (working to unlock a BIO diversity trading marketplace with peer to peer review that has Indigenous knowledge systems patterned into the valuation of the marketplace).
Heliogenisis with Thomas Schindler from Delodi
Joy Corp with Paul Kearney and Jacqueline Twillie
