Phase I
Tuesday, 30 July 13

23. Exposing the latest developments in cutting edge science & technology
and exploring how these things could impact our lives.
Phase I
the magazine
Using research from top academics, Science
Prophet will produce accessible articles that seek
to find the difficult questions people don’t always
think to ask.
These articles will suggest possible futures that
technologies could steer us towards, encouraging
thought and discussion amongst readers.
Tuesday, 30 July 13

24. Building a community to better decide the future.
Phase I
the network
Science Prophet will be providing social network
functions in order to connect likeminded
individuals who wish to engage in conversation
and projects.
Members will be able to interact with each other
and create an online persona dedicated to deciding
the future.
Tuesday, 30 July 13

25. Encouraging and gauging the experience and knowledge of community
members.
Phase I
the levels
Inspired by the ‘experience points’ in role playing
games, Science Prophet will be charting your
progression as a community member using SP
Levels. Your SP Level will increase as you read
articles, suggest topics, get published on the site
etc.
SP Levels allow you to earn the respect of your
peers, so they know where to go for answers.
Members who ‘level up’ will unlock new features,
take part in discussions with prominent academics
and get invited to events.

28. Phase II
the forums
Next generation forums servicing in depth discussion around topics
sparked by the articles on the site.
The forums will allow intellectual debates to take
place about the possible impacts of science on
society. They will give a voice to everyone,
allowing a wider scope of opinion to be brought to
a subject so that we might better decide the right
future for humanity.
Using natural language processing, Science
Prophet will be able to connect topics quicker and
easier, whilst filtering out the spam from the
streams of thought.

29. Phase II
interactive Lectures
Guest speakers hired to lead discussions on the future of science and
society.
Science Prophet will be inviting academics and
researchers to come online and give live
presentations to the community on a subject of
their choosing.
Following this, members of Science Prophet will
be able to ask questions and join a discussion,
voicing their opinions and challenging the speaker
in order to bring about a higher plain of discussion.

30. Phase II
S/P time
A unique operational time system in order to further the connectivity of
users.
As Science Prophet will be a global network, we
will be switching to a unique time system in order
to integrate time zones and engage different
cultures in thoughtful discussion
S/P time will be a dynamic time model; a slipping
clock, which will gradually alter against standard
times. The suggested Science Prophet ‘peak times’
will then be a fair standard for all countries,
enabling a truer global connection.

Global events that bring the best and brightest together.
In order to tighten our global network and bring a
more pragmatic dynamic to our work, we’ll be
hosting regular events that allow our community to
come together.
These events will range from lecture series,
technological unveilings, research pitches and
academic discussions. Through these events, we
will be able to further push valuable projects and
strengthen the community.

34. Phase III
collective intelligence
and other models
The implementation of social models within the community.
Through our discussions, we are hoping to form
new social models and technologies that could
better service society.
In order to test the functionality of these, we’ll be
trialling them online amongst the community.
Collective intelligence models, new political
structures and alternative funding processes are the
initial trials to be tested on the site.

35. Phase III
project funding
The funding and aiding of projects.
As the community develops, Science Prophet will
be encouraging people to present their own
research and development projects.
Science Prophet will then be facilitating the
development of these projects. Where possible
financial, intellectual and collaborative aid will be
given to projects the community decides are
worthy.
