“The interactive ability to consume stories across the scales of time and generalization about human behavior. The idea is for a technology that represents reality on scales of time and level of intimacy with the self. The lowest point might be something like “what am I(or another individual) experiencing at this moment, and the highest point might be something like what can you say about all people of across the whole of history. Inbetween groupings being: the story of my family, my lineage, my friends, the story of Americans, the story of caucasians, what happened this week to people I know, what is the history of human communication, etc.
My next question is how do you build the scale?
