Abstract

The basic and brilliant maxim (DREAM1):″OF ONE MIND IN PURSUIT OF OUR DREAM ALL DISCORD SET ASIDE", represents the main driving force for any Future Path of Wikimedia Movement (FPWM). In order to respect this splendid thought and to move in the positive direction of (FPWM), the necessary and indispensable precondition {designated by [IPC(P1-P2)]} is to respect the two principles P1 and P2. The principle P1 represents: truth, honesty (in particular intellectual honesty), sincerity and virtue. The principle P2 represents: altruism, selflessness, and unselfish concern for welfare of others, the belief and the doctrine that the general welfare of society is the proper goal of an individual's actions, the respect and the love of humans. If the precondition [IPC(P1-P2)] is not respected, then it is impossible to satisfy and to reach the maxim (DREAM). Based on Sociophysics analysis2-6, two Principles P1 and P2, ten Laws L1, L2,..., L10, six Axioms A1, A2,...,A6 and two Rules R1 and R2 are obtained and presented briefly in Tables 1, 2 and 3. Following this analysis (and in particular the Laws L3, L4 and the Rule R1, (presented in Tables 2 and 3), the necessary and mandatory precondition for any positive and successful direction of Wikimedia movement path (towards its goals) is that this path includes the respect of the two principles P1 and P2 in its ″SET OF CORE VALUES7. (Wiki P1-P2 Project) contains two volumes. Volume 1 is devoted to the subset of all members of the Wikimedia Movement (Wikimedians), and Volume 2 to the entire set of all humans worldwide. Each volume is composed of two sections. Sections 1.1 and 2.1 concern Cultural Outreach, and sections 1.2 and 2.2 Educational Outreach. In this proposal it is suggested that: (a) By respecting the Rule R2, to invite and to encourage all members of Wikimedia Movement (Wikimedians) to sign and to respect the Pledge of Personal Commitment (PPC); (b) - Edit a Wikibook P1-P2 containing particularly interesting and instructive cultural and educational works, articles and contributions in connection with the two principles P1 and P2; (c) - To organize a Program Committee composed of invited Wikimedians, interested in this preliminary (Wiki P1-P2 Project), in order to elaborate the program based on feed-back contributions and this preliminary (Wiki P1-P2 Project).

Detailed proposal

Table 1. Two principles P1 and P2

Principles Definition Reference
P1 The principle P1 represents: truth, honesty (in particular intellectual honesty), sincerity and virtue. Ref.2
P2 The principle P2 represents: altruism,selflessness, and unselfish concern for welfare of others, the belief and the doctrine that the general welfare of society is the proper goal of an individual's actions, the respect and the love of humans Ref.2

Table 2. Ten Laws L1, L2,..., L10

Laws Definitions References and detailed analysis
L1 Human culture and principles P1 and P2--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Section 6 (of Ref.4)
L2 Intellectual ability of a newborn healthy child Section 4 (of Ref.2)
L3 The respect of P1 and P2: (a)- creates an attractive force; (b)- has a positive and convergent effect; (c)- strengthens the human society's coheson and unity Subsection 2.1 (of Ref.3)
L4 When P1 and P2 are not respected, then it provokes: (a)- a repulsive force;; (b)- a negative and divergent effect; (c)- the dispersion and the disunion of the human society Subsection 2.2 (of Ref.3)
L5 Non-linear (or synergic) effect. The Law L5 states that in order to create the synergic effect, the necessary and indispensable precondition is to respect P1 and P2 Subsection 2.3 (of Ref.3)
L6 The Law L6 states that the international ranking of any country (j) at a given time (t) is directly dependent and proportional to Cj(t) and βj(t). With Cj(t): the total positive culture of the country (j) and βj(t) the fraction of country's population respecting P1 and P2 Subsection 2.4 (of Ref.3)
L7 The Law L7 states that the speed vk (t) of the human knowledge's expansion as a function of time (t) is positive at any time ( vk (t) ≥ 0 ) Subsection 2.5 (of Ref.3)
L8 The Law L8 states that: it is possible to trust on human future and reach globalizatoin if and only if the Axiom A3 is respected and the noble mission of giving appropriate education to new generation, {in order to respect the two principles P1 and P2}, is placed in first priority and duty Subsection 2.6 (of Ref.3)
L9 Human life path, human society's changes and entire universe movements are all irreversible transitions and processes Section 5 (of Ref.2)
L10 Exceptionally important initial five years of a newborn human after birth Section 6 (of Ref.2)

Table 3. Six Axioms A1, A2,..., A6 and two Rules R1 and R2

Axioms or Rules Definitions References and detailed analysis
A1 A unifying unit vector oriented in a direction representing the simultaneous respect of both principles P1 and P2 Ref.2
A2 The necessary conditions to attain the Threshold of Globalization (TG). This (TG) is defined as the Threshold of a happy, successful, stimulating, progressive, peaceful, interesting and bright human life worldwide. Ref.3
A3 Axiom A3 states that the first priority and duty of our generation is to give an appropriate and continuous education to new generations according to two principles P1 and P2. Ref.2
A4 Axiom A4 states that in every competion it is fundamental and necessary to respect the two principles P1 and P2. Axiom A4 requires that competing members remain honest and respect the rights of others during the competition. Ref.2
A5 Axiom A5 states that the acceleration of knowledge expansion γk(t) is positive Ref.3
A6 Axiom A6 states that the four functions K, α, γ and δ have central contribution to human future and globalization Ref.3
R1 The Rule R1 indicates human's positive and negative directions. Positive direction corresponds to the case where the two principles P1 and P2 are respected, and negative direction to the case where these two principles are not respected. Ref.2
R2 The Rule R2 emphasizes the importance of using methods based on human culture and intelligence in order to convince, to encourage and to persuade members of a human society to respect the two principles P1 and P2. Ref.2
