This document introduces the Polyscopy Prototype project which aims to enable global paradigm shifts through collaborative vision creation. It discusses motivations like the need for change and proposes using polyscopic information to solve problems. Key aspects that may experience renaissance-like changes are science, democracy, humanism, and the industrial revolution. The document also references theorists to provide insights on how societies, institutions, and cruelty can evolve. It introduces Polyscopy as a paradigm prototype and invites collaboration to further develop the vision through public dialogue.

HOW THE INSTITUTIONS EVOLVE
The corporation's legally defined
mandate is to pursue, relentlessly and
without exception, its own self interest,
regardless of the often harmful
consequences it might cause to others.

HOW THE SOCIETY EVOLVES
Symbolic power is that invisible power
which can be exercised only with the
complicity of those who do not want to
know that they are subject to it or even
that they themselves exercise it.

HOW THE CRUELTY REMAINS UNSEEN
Modernity did not make people more cruel; it only
invented a way in which cruel things could be done
by non-cruel people. Under the sigh of modernity,
evil does not need any more evil people. Rational
people, men and women well riveted into the
impersonal, adiaphorized network of modern
organization, will do perfectly.

– Design dialog to co-create Polyscopy
– Public dialog to co-create the vision
