Guesses arise when we do not have the objective data necessary to draw logical conclusions.
I would distinguish four causes of missing data in our individual databases:
-
1 – the data exist, but we do not need them, because instead of perceiving objective reality we prefer to confine ourselves to intersubjective reality.
2 – the data simply do not exist, and nothing can be done about it, so one can only speculate.
3 – the data do not exist, but appropriate research could be conducted to supplement them; someone just has to take care of it.
4 – the data exist but are inaccessible to us because, for example, they are difficult to locate, so once again someone would have to provide them to us.
In the first case, which unfortunately may occur often, the information structure I propose will change nothing.
The same is true in the second case.
The Synthetic Collective Intellect is a good solution in the third and fourth cases.
