Laws of Possibility
We’re living through the collapse of the familiar and the birth of the possible: institutions built for efficiency are buckling under volatility, capital favors safe increments, and imagination, our critical infrastructure, has been undervalued.
Each law articulates a philosophy for turning imagination into outcomes, defines boundaries and trade-offs, and pairs with new metrics, models, and capabilities. Together they create a common backbone across sectors, aligning incentives, reducing waste, and accelerating learning with ethics built in. The laws are living and evidence-driven: they evolve as practitioners test them in the wild and share results in the open.
-
1
Every System Is Hackable – Nothing is sacred; everything can be redesigned.
-
2
Futures Must Be Simulated, Not Predicted – Structured simulations let us rehearse futures—revealing ripples, ethics, and emergent outcomes before real-world commitment.
-
3
The Answers Hide in the Overlaps – Breakthroughs emerge where disciplines collide.
-
4
Possibility is born at the edge of our limits. – Breakthroughs rarely come from comfort; they come from pressure, paradox and constraint.
-
5
Capital Must Learn to Zoom Out – Invest for generations, not quarters.
-
6
Possibility Can Be Structured – Imagination becomes measurable, stackable data.
-
7
Systems Shift One Layer at a Time – Change cascades through nested networks.
-
8
Every Choice Echoes Through a System – Design for long-term consequences.
-
9
Nothing Wasted, Everything Regenerated – Every output becomes new input.
-
10
Breakthroughs Are Born in the In-Between – Embrace anomaly, ambiguity, and tension.
