Distinguishing a domain of hyperreality as the appropriate SDG context?

Systemic Coherence of the UNs 17 SDGs as a Global Dream (Part #10)

The conventional preoccupation with the "real" in many cases constitutes a denial of the "surreal" and the "hyperreal" -- however the surreal is to be understood (Surreal nature of current global governance as experienced, 2016). To a strange degree this denial echoes that of the manner in which the objective is challenged by the subjective (¡¿ Defining the objective â*z Refining the subjective ?! Explaining reality â*z Embodying realization,, 2011; A Subjective Objection: Objecting to Subjection: interplay of questions enabling transcendence of fundamental dilemmas? 2016).

In practice this interplay is most evident in the manner in which the objective dynamics of convention are matched in practice by recourse to use of lpsychoactive substances -- whether legal or illegal. Little effort is made to explore that cognitive transition -- other than by appreciatively engaging in it. The realm of psychoactive experience is of course curiously related to the sense of dreaming -- as evoked above with respect to the SDG Dreamtime. It is also in this sense that strategies and the forces in play may be characterized as "angelic" or "demonic" -- especially by leaders with religious commitments and constituencies.

The relation between the angelic and demonic domains of tradition can therefore be readily framed in this light (Joe Biden promises to lead the forces of light over the forces of darkness, Blog for Arizona, 21 August 2020; The Great Controversy -- between a connection to the forces of light or the forces of d, darkness, Global Communications Alliance; Radical Disaffection Engendered by Elitist Groupthink? Democratic rehearsal of the final battle between the Forces of Light and Darkness, 2016).

It is in this sense that the traditional framework offers a memorable means of engaging with hyperreality and its patterns of connectivity, as explored separately (Engaging with Hyperreality through Demonique and Angelique? Mnemonic clues to global governance from mathematical theology and hyperbolic tessellation, 2016; Variety of System Failures Engendered by Negligent Distinctions: mnemonic clues to 72 modes of viable system failure from a demonic pattern language, 2016).

One approach to this possibility is offered by the recognition that an explicit strategic articulation is usefully recognized as paradoxically complemented by a an implicit subjective sense of "hyperreality" (David Bohm, Wholeness and the Implicate Order, 1980). Visually this can be illustrated by an "adaptation" of the pattern of 15 global strategic challenges identified by the Millennium Project. In the schematic below, the articulation of those challenges in the left-hand portion of the diagram is complemented by an implicit variant in the right-hand portion of the schematic. Their paradoxical relationships was suggested by setting them within a Möbius strip in a "creative" review of the 17th International Futures Conference on Tackling Wicked Problems: where futures research, education and action meet (Turku, 2015),

The distinction between the explicit and implicit realms suggested by the above schematic can then be used as a means of interpreting the 4D animations presented above. A greater degree of comprehension of the above structures is obtained by unfolding them into a 3D form. In fact some vertices of the unfolded structures are shared (namely coincident). in the folded 4D form, although this is not apparent.

Especially intriguing is the manner in which the unfolding of some the structures gives rise to matching spheres -- separated from each other -- which could be understood as an artificial separation of the explicit and the implicit realms.
