WE ARE A GLOBAL TEAM OF EDGEWORKERS
ENABLING EACH OTHER IN THE CRAFT OF DISCOVERING.
By doing the Experiments on this website, you demonstrate that you are on the Team.
"THERE'S NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN"
THE CUTTING EDGE OF HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS
The actual edge of what human beings are aware that they are aware of is one question away from wherever you are.
But who is brave enough to ask those "dangerous" kinds of questions?
You can ask questions about facts or opinions, try to get more information and understand. But this is not Discovering.
Discovering occurs by going orthogonal to common assumptions into new Space where few humans tread.
It is not far away from where we are here together right now.
There are 9 Gaps to slide into from our shared conversation here. Nine new dimensions of concern, of interest, of Possibility.
The Thinkers, Philosophers, Spiritual Teachers have explored and already mapped so much territory. Why didn't Aristotle or Gwai Lin or Chief Sitting Bull or figure these things out already? What were we doing all this time? Why is it left to me to Discover that we did not already know about this?
Why? Why? Why?
No answer satisfies these questions.
The way is to Start Over again.
How to expand your Edgeworker nature? How to take Radical Responsibility? What are the ways of regenerative next culture Archearchy? This is the void.
You face the void and you are left with the choice: go back to the known. Or get a grip on insanity and leap full out, paying very close attention with your Team to bring back new Treasures. This is Discovering.
PERSONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR DISCOVERING
Discovering will change who you are.
If it is not okay for you to be changed in completely unexpected and uncontrolled ways by what you discover, the Discovering cannot occur.
To become a 'Change Surfer', go Discovering about Liquid States so that you acquire internal maps for the liquid territories between your current solid state and your next solid state.
Discovering most often occurs on a Team dedicated to going on a Discovering Journeys together.
Therefore, make it a Practice to actively join in Discovering Journey Teams. Here are Possibilities:
- Possibility Team
- Research Team
- S.P.A.R.K. Experiment Team
- Rage Club
- Fear Club
- Give WorkTalks
- Give WorkShops
- Join an Expand The Box training (online or offline)
- Join Possibility Labs
SPACIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR DISCOVERING
Discovering does not often occur in ordinary circumstances.
Several prerequisites must exist before Discovering becomes possible.
For example,
- The Space must welcome Discovering rather than defending against it.
- Participants in the Space require a certain Attention to Notice that Discovering is happening.
- The Space needs to contain Authentic Necessity for Discovering to be awakened.
- Spaceholders are prepared to capture and document whatever the Discovering journey reveals.
- The next Space is about celebrating the abundance of Discoveries.
- A capacity to make practical use of what is Discovered. Using what is Discovered is a way of expressing gratitude and paying respects to the Source of Possibility out of which the new configuration emerged. Once the package is tossed to you it will pass you by or crash unless you participate in the exchange and embrace the package.
We have been Discovering that Discovering Spaces work most effectively when there is a designated Spaceholder (trained in conscious Nonlinear Transformational Spaceholding), a designated Time Keeper, a designated Documenter, and perhaps also a designated Walker (the person who continues to move around in the background to de-solidify energies in the space).
'Having a conversation' and 'creating a discovery space' are two wildly different Spaces.
For a Discovery Space to be born, at least one person need to 'sacrifice' themselves at the altar of being in pain about not knowing how it goes. This is the one who comes with truly authentic questions - the Discovery Listener. The Listener uses their pain about the lack of Clarity and Distinctions that truly affecting their life. The 'questioner' then creates a Vacuum Space for Clarity and Possibility to be called forth from the unknown by the Discovery Speakers.
If everyone tries to be a Discovery Speakers, or even tries to go back and forth between being a Listener and a Speaker, there is not enough Discovery Listening for something unexpectedly new to come through. The space stagne in an 'agreement theoretical space' about what could happen.

SHARING YOUR TREASURES
Discovering calls forth gifts from an inexhaustible Source.
Whatever is Discovered is not yours.
The Source cannot be copyrighted. Neither can the gifts.
Whatever you Discover is open code, copyleft.
It was given to you to feed the entire Creative Commons (the field of invention and genius around the whole planet) not just you.
For example, everything in Possibility Management, everything on the more than 400 websites of StartOver.xyz cannot be copyrighted. It is all protected by the Creative Commons Copyleft Attribute and Share Alike International 4.0 License.
"Close your hand and you claim a few meager grains of sand. Open your hand and the entire desert can run through it."
It is probably true that certain Archetypal Lineages are more fit for Discovering, just as other Lineages are more fit for healing, weaving connections, building out infrastructure, guarding the context, etc. However, whatever you Discover is benefit for the entire village.
“There must always be the explorer to go ahead; then the blazed trail becomes the well-beaten track for less daring feet.
Radical ideas directed toward the promotion of free thought, free speech, free opportunity, free lives, grow and spread. No power, no form of penalty or persecution, has thus far been devised which can permanently suppress these ideas.
You and I are called to the trailblazer's work of today. There will be those – perhaps many – who will see our blazes and follow us. We won't know who they are, probably; but that is unimportant. They will be using the path we make.”
- Ellen Hayes 1851

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DISCOVER?
Matrix Code DISCOVER.01
Write down 10 things you would like to discover. (That's right, you can only discover something you haven't discovered yet).
In each case, what is the pain you feel about not having discovered it yet?After completing this experiment, please register Matrix Code DISCOVER.01 in your free account at StartOver.xyz.
This Experiment is worth 1 Matrix Point.
ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT DISCOVERING
Matrix Code DISCOVER.02
Write down all the assumptions that come up in connection with the 10 things you want to discover.
I'll give you an example: One of the 10 things you want to discover is a perpetual motion machine. This is a non-existent device that, once set in motion, can keep moving forever without any further energy input. Your physics teacher back in school taught that a perpetual motion machine contradicts the current laws of nature and therefore it will never exist.
One of your assumptions is that your physics teacher is right and such a device can never be discovered. So if you have this assumption, you will never ever be able to discover a perpetual motion machine.
Even if one were right in front of you, you would not be able to see it. Assumptions can be like road blocks.
Write down all the assumptions you have about the things you would like to discover.

ASSUMPTION BOX
Matrix Code DISCOVER.03
Choose a person to hold space for you so that you can declare all assumptions as unproven and therefore invalid. The person acts as a witness.
For example, "I would like to discover a perpetual motion machine. I have the assumption that such a device cannot exist because it contradicts the valid laws of nature. Since my assumption is not proven, I put it into this box for unproven and invalid assumptions for the time being. As long as the assumption is in here, it is invalid."
Proceed like this with all your assumptions.

THERES A LOT TO DISCOVER
Matrix Code DISCOVER.04
There are places where not a single person has ever looked around. No one has ever put his finger on this unique place, no one has described this place. It is absolutely new, virgin, untouched and unexplored. You will be the first person to discover, marvel and describe this place.
All you need is a sharp knife and this place, which is inside an apple.
Place this unique apple in front of you on a plate with the stem sticking up. You will now discover the inside of this apple. No human being has ever looked inside this apple before you.
What will you discover?
Does a worm live there?
What color are the apple cores? How many are there?
Discover this apple and write everything in your BEEP!Book. Also discover the inside of walnuts, bananas and pumpkins.

CHOOSE TO BE A DISCOVERER
Matrix Code DISCOVER.05
The word "discover" describes a process in which something becomes visible that was not visible before. It was covered. It was there, but it was not visible until someone took away the cover.
Only then was it there and visible. And that is not the end of the process of discovery.
To stay with experiment 4, it is not enough to cut open this unique apple. Surely, right now, all over the world, thousands of people are cutting open an apple with a knife. Seeing and touching what no one has ever touched and seen before. And they are not explorers.
For one whole day, consciously choose to be an explorer.
Make a secret mark on the back of your hand with waterproof pen so you won't forget it all day.
On this day, discover everything there is to discover.
Who is on this train, where does this sound come from, what exactly does this word mean?
Write down all your discoveries in your BEEP! book.

SHARE IT
Matrix Code DISCOVER.06
What you have discovered no longer belongs only to you. It belongs to everyone. Imagine if the Englishman Howard Carter had kept to himself the fact that he had discovered the tomb of Tutankhamen in Egypt. And anyway, it is through sharing that discovery becomes so great, spectacular and legendary.
This experiment is about sharing your discoveries. Here come a few ways you can do that:
- Discoverer Newsletter
- Articles
- YouTube
- Interviews
- worktalks
- webpageAfter completing this experiment, please register Matrix Code DISCOVER.06 in your free account at StartOver.xyz.

WHAT DO YOU BURN FOR?
Matrix Code DISCOVER.07
I have an assumption: discovery is not a linear affair. So, Christopher Columbus did not set out to discover America.
But how does it work then? I read on this homepage that discovering can be an orthogonal path. I didn't know this word and looked up what it meant. What appealed to me is the explanation that orthogonal can mean non-redundant, non-overlapping, or even irrelevant. In other words, anything but linear.
Example: I was reading this home page about discovery, I didn't read through it from top to bottom, but stumbled on the word orthogonal. Looking up what that is, I stumbled on the word redundancy and something inside me caught fire.I read a redundancy is the multiple mention of the same information. In a meeting, deadly boredom is guaranteed when that occurs: it's already been said, but not yet by everyone.
That is one meaning of redundancy. In medical technology, we speak of redundancy when a patient has two ventilators because he would suffocate should one fail. That's redundancy that can save his life.
I stumbled over the term orthogonal and left the linear path there. Later I turned off again: at the word redundant. I followed my own path, where my fires burned.
Here comes an idea for an experiment to explore orthogonality:
Start looking at the thing you want to discover. Observe yourself with a few percent of your attention, so you don't miss the little fires you start. Then follow the fire. Don't go straight ahead, linearly, but follow the fire.In my case, the next fire on the path would be the word redundancy.
What is there to discover when everyone on a team says the same thing over and over for an entire evening, just in different words?
An exciting experiment for me. Where are your fires burning?

NOTE: This website is a Bubble in the Bubble Map of the free-to-play massively-multiplayer online-and-offline thoughtware-upgrade matrix-building personal-transformation real-life adventure-game called StartOver.xyz. It is a doorway to experiments that upgrade your thoughtware so you can relocate your point of origin and create more possibility. Your knowledge is what you think about. Your thoughtware is what you use to think with. When you change your thoughtware, you go through a liquid state as your mind reorganizes itself. Liquid states can bring up transformational feelings and emotions. By upgrading your thoughtware you build matrix to hold more consciousness and leave behind a low drama life of reactivity. No one can upgrade your thoughtware for you. More interestingly, no one can stop you from upgrading your thoughtware. Our theory is that when we collectively build 1,000,000 new Matrix Points we will change the morphogenetic field of the human race for the better. Please choose responsibly to read this website. Reading this whole website is worth 1 Matrix Point. Doing any of the experiments earns you additional Matrix Points. Please use Matrix Code DISCOVER.00 to log your Matrix Point for reading this website on StartOver.xyz. Thank you for playing full out!
