Goals Assembly Layers

Abstract

Just as fiction has conceived Alternate Realities since Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, this creates an Alternate Reality from an engineering viewpoint: This reconceptualizes current and new technology to provide an Alternate "human success" Reality--the "Expandaverse"--in which individual personal success and economic prosperity are accelerated and expanded, with the potential to scale to a plurality of individuals and groups worldwide. This "Alternate Reality" includes reconceptualized machines, devices, systems, personal identities, networks, infrastructure, utility(ies), identities, digital presence, governances, etc. that comprise an Alternate Reality Teleportal Machine (ARTPM). In some examples the traditional glass window is reinvented as a digital "Teleportal" (herein TP) that turns the world and near-space outside the Earth into one room (the Teleportal Machine or TPM), with direct "always on" access to a plurality of people, places, tools, entertainment, resources, etc.--an evolution of "presence" from local physical reality to "digital presence" in "Shared Planetary Life Spaces" (herein SPLS). Said Teleportal may be provided by means of TP Devices such as Local Teleportal (LTP), Mobile Teleportal (MTP), Remote Teleportal (RTP), Virtual Teleportal (VTP) on Alternate Input Devices (AIDs) and Alternate Output Devices (AODs) [herein together AIDs/AODs, typically commonly known networked electronic devices], and Remote Control Teleportaling (RCTP) that may run various Subsidiary Devices (typically commonly known networked electronic devices), providing wide access from and to said TPM through a plurality of new and known means. Some components of the ARTPM include a Teleportal Utility (herein TPU); an Alternate Realities Machine (herein ARM) for setting SPLS Boundaries that include priorities, filters that exclude what is not wanted, paywalls for access, and both digital and physical protections; an Active Knowledge Machine (herein AKM) for delivering knowledge and information interactively at the time and place needed to raise the level of personal and group success; Multiple Identities that provide that provide the equivalent of "life extension" by providing for living "multiple lives" within one life span instead of gaining additional "life spans" by extending lives; Governances that provide collective means to achieve shared goals; Optimizations to make a plurality of dynamic and continuous improvements; and RealWorld Entertainment to provide ways to bring parts of this ARTPM into the real world. As an integrated component throughout, the ARTPM utilizes various means of reporting, dashboards, alerts, etc. to increase the growth, success and satisfaction of a plurality of individuals and groups in said Alternate Reality, such as with visible reporting that provides continuous access to the best results and most effective choices--along with means to retrieve, copy, buy, install and try those products, services, configurations, etc. so as to spread their benefits rapidly. Another integrated component is "Governances" that do not replace nation states or governments but provide new collective means for accelerating success, and deliver that as a normal, contextually appropriate part of personal, group and commercial activities. The combined result of said ARTPM constitutes a new type of Alternate Reality that enables presence, devices, systems, methods, processes, tools, resources, content, entertainment, etc. that a plurality of individuals and groups may employ to succeed with greater productivity and increased speed in new as well as current activities--and thereby receive new opportunities to achieve expanding personal economic prosperity and quality of life goals (whether as a person or as multiple identities), along with collective Governances delivery of said capabilities to a plurality of collective groups, so that both individual and group economic and societal success and satisfaction may be advanced. Exceeding the many new fiction concepts that required later inventing to became real, it is an object of this Alternate Reality Teleportal Machine (ARTPM) to enable the new engineering concept that human digital reality is created and chosen and not mandated, to initiate an Expandaverse of collective and personal aspirations: "If you want a better reality, choose it and enjoy it." These and other aspects, features, and implementations, and combinations of them, can be expressed as methods, systems, compositions, devices means or steps for performing functions, program products, media that store instructions or databases or other data structures, business methods, apparatus, components, and in other ways. These and other aspects, features, advantages, and implementations will be apparent from the discussion above, and from the claims.
