isotelesis: the principle that any one function is served by several structures and processes.

"Independence is the only gauge of human virtue and value. What a man is and makes of himself; not what he has or hasn't done for others. There is no substitute for personal dignity." -The Fountainhead

Isotelesis allows independent minds the opportunity to innovate without the rigid structure of traditional hierarchies. Collaborative ventures or projects are shared by choice and independent parties are free to pursue the same goals through separate avenues and organizational relationships. The strength here is that parties may self-organize more efficiently, since the semantic framework would maximize the opportunity to network with other collaborators, to find those whose end goals are interrelated. Since interdisciplinary feedback often promotes the cross-pollinization of ideas, this amorphous “eco-system” would enhance the interface for intellectual collaboration. Plato believed that truth was gained from looking at universals. Knowledge on the internet also requires a standard to free us from a tower of babel. The way in which knowledge is structured is universal, if human knowledge could permeate globally, opportunities will be multiplexed, allowing innovation networks to reach their full potential. New discoveries and ideas will be "COINed", and contributors will receive merit for their work, tangibly or intangibly. Goals may be homotelic, heterotelic, autotelic, monotelic, polytelic, etc., but in order for the cybernetic ontology to be self-contained, one requires an isomorphic medium for telic agents (artificial or human) to introjectively collect, automorphically reflect, and endomorphically project their unique ontological patterns and evolutionary goals into this hologically adaptive neural network. There is freedom to choose which goals to share, the fact that people can even share goals is what is revolutionary here. There is no fixed telesis for the database, it will morph isotelically to the intelligent agent, serving the function of the heart from which ideas may branch and evolve from. Collaborative networks may be formed selectively or simply open source. Intellectual property will be an issue decided among parties involved, certain projects will definitely need clearly defined contracts. However many projects will simply be for human and social development. Wikipedia is one example of how people are sharing knowledge, however it is unstructured static data. The ultimate goal of Isotelesis is to promote the creation of structured, evolving, contextual knowledge in order to optimize global collaboration. It allows people to find collaborators they may not have known they needed. Providing a habitat for those who work for themselves, for the world, for humanity. The world of ideas are not adequately breeding, and human evolution is at stake. Nature has no particular end goal, but whatever it becomes, it will have been through an isotelic cybernetic mechanism. There is no designer for this ontology either, merely the principle of telic recursion.
