People's Worldwide Concerns: Flow of Desires, Aversions, and Powers: 1-Jan-09 - 30-Jul-09

The "Stream of Thought" Consists of 2 Fluxes: One Identifies What Dominated People's Awareness, the Other What People Focused their Attention On. Each Flux Has 17 Thought Variables Organized Around 3 Categories: Desires – What People Desired Most; Aversions – What People Desired Least; and the Powers that Facilitated or Hindered the Desires. People's Fields of Awareness and Foci of Attention Are Ranked and Color Coded. They Are Shown Below. People's Suppressed Concerns Are Shown in Grey.

The Historical "Doctrinal Structure" Consists of Linking Social, Political, Economic, and Military Events in Interconnected Chains of Grounds, Causes, and Effects. When Combined with the Stream of Thought, the Doctrinal Structure Allows You to Order Together World Events Into a Plan and to Make Judgments (About, for Example, Corporate Governance, Statecraft, and Associated Inclinations and Intentions) Where Psychological Measures, Weights, and Probabilities Are Taken Into Account.

Awareness/Attention Signals Are Derived from Latitudinal/Longitudinal Percent Ranks of Mindshares. High Ranked Signals Correspond to Percent Ranks Greater than or Equal to 90%; Low Ranked Signals Correspond to Percent Ranks Less than or Equal to 10%.

* The concept of "thought stream" was first elaborated by the American psychologist and philosopher William James. The concept of "doctrinal structure" was first elaborated by the German philosopher Johann Gottfried von Herder. The technology and the system to measure and analyze the thought stream and the technology to extract and visualize the stream's doctrinal structure were developed by the nuclear physicist and founder of Macroknow, Dr. Edward E. Ayoub.
