David Ding: Regeneration
The Nature of Overunity
Ever wondered if there's a way to create systems that generate surplus wealth beyond what they consume? In this episode I go deep into the concept of overunity and how to utilise it to create wealth generating vehicles using the Trinity system design method.

Thanks for listening!
Okay, so this one is about the nature of over unity. I was inspired to create this episode because of a question I was asked on a podcast last week that I was invited to speak on, and the question was asked of me what do I mean by over unity? and I talk about it a lot, but I've never done an episode devoted to it, and there's a number of reasons for that that will hopefully become clear by the end of this episode. Because over unity is actually the an essential component to the methodology I've developed, called Trinity, which is a way to apply ternary thinking to systems innovation to create over unity systems. So an over unity system, in a nutshell, is a system capable of wealth, generating wealth. Wealth meaning that it produces a surplus beyond what is drawn, and then that, over unity, that the surplus wealth is devoted to innovation. Innovation meaning going beyond what is currently known. So, if you think of, that which is known is the status quo, that's the here and now, and innovation being to take what is currently known and to unify it in a way that is unique, that is unknown. And this is the paradox of innovation is that the elements on the periodic table they are base. You know the letters in the alphabet they are base, so the potential of what can be known is held within those immutable base elements. So no matter what innovation a human being comes up with, you know in the physical world, anything of material size, it is derived of base elements that are uniquely blended and bonded together. And so systems innovation is really when you take a vision for something that you want, so you can envisage the ending that you want with absolute crystal clarity, and you're considering how to, how you want the base elements of that creation to be uniquely bonded together. So you know, the ideal scenario is that you could, if you could, understand the nature of a singular atom and you could dissolve the bonds and attachments that it has to the other atoms in its environment, and then you could control each individual atom as a singular component within a swarm of atoms and then command them to come together in a unique, innovative shape and form and in a new constitution. Then that would be the ultimate in rapid prototyping, because I mean, it's unlikely, let's say, that were possible, and that's a bit of a breadcrumb for later, but that would be the ultimate. And so if you think about system innovation, that would be the pinnacle of how to materialize something new into form. It's to disentangle the base components and then reassemble them in zero time in space. That'd be the ultimate, that's the magic wand instant materialize, dematerialization and rematerialization at will.
Speaker 1:Now, given that that's the pinnacle or the zenith of innovation, you then look at what is known and you ask yourself okay, what do I currently know that is that makes this possible or even probable? and so that's when you begin, and so on, big on, event based systems. So an event based system, well, an event based perspective to developing concepts, means that you, you know with crystal clarity the concept that you're aiming for, and then you use what is known to identify all the events that would have to be true if that's concept were made real. And so you come back to the present moment, you look at the here and now, and so the this is what I know now. This is the space in between where I am now and where I want to be, where I want my concept to be materialized. And you then work backwards and you keep working backwards and you define all the events that would have to be true in order for that to be the accepted reality.
Speaker 1:And so, let's say, you're designing a Marmite sandwich, and so you envisage the Marmite sandwich. It's on a plate, it's on white bread, there's margarine on each slice, there's and there's Marmite on each slice, and then working backwards, what has to be true? and so you do this in a random way. You don't worry about linear thinking at this point. You can do it chaotically. What do I need? white bread, a plate, margarine, marmite, a butter knife. So that's random, it's non-linear. So once you diffuse all of the thinker, all of the events.
Speaker 1:So the events would be if you're to plot this in a linear way, the events would be I need to and you still do this in a random way I need to acquire a jar of marmite, i need to get a butter knife out of the drawer, i need to get a plate out of the pantry, um, and those are the main events. and so you plot the events. But these are the events that need to be true in order for the bread and butter sandwich to be made real. And so If you zoom out of that and then you zoom into one of those events, well, obviously you plot the trajectory of those first. So then you. so those are the random, chaotic events. Then you plot them to a point in linear time and space. This event has to come first, that event has to come second, that event has to come third, before the grand event and before the mission is complete. So in that scenario, you zoom into the first event, which is and it may not matter in this case, it probably doesn't, but it's to acquire a jar of marmite. So now you zoom into that event and now you can do the same thing. So there might be other events that are required in order for you to acquire the jar of marmite, and so you create those events. So what has to be true? in order for me to acquire a jar of marmite, the events are I need to go to the supermarket and buy some marmite, and there may be one event in order for you to acquire the marmite. So this is event-based design, concept design.
Speaker 1:And when you see, it's important to understand how a concept begins to be plotted and charted and given a fixed point in time and space, because it's a method of rendering possibilities obsolete. At the same time, and with a really complex concept, what you would actually do is, if you begin with diffusing the potentiality, the greatest potential, of what that concept can become. Then you diffuse, you constrain those into probabilities And then you walk down the events that would need to be made true in order for those probabilities to be made real And you weigh up the risk and reward of the risk versus the reward of going down each of those paths And you would develop a risk profile And, based on that risk profile versus the reward, you determine which path you want to go down. And then you are rendering all of the other probabilities obsolete, and so you're beginning to crystallize a unified antenna purpose between everyone who is involved in defining what these events are agreeing on the risk profile. So this is how you crystallize collaborators around a vision or a unified antenna purpose, and so I'm getting to over unity. So just bear with me that I need to set the scene and provide context for over unity.
Speaker 1:So in this scenario, this is how you begin to crystallize something that begins in a nebulous way, and this is the main reason why. So, a lot of you know, i'm contracted to the New Zealand Government Agency Callahan Innovation as an innovation advisor. I work with founders of bleeding edge innovation And this is a common issue we see is people dive into developing a strategy before the concept has been crystallized And the intent and the will of the participants and the stakeholders has been crystallized. So they have a unified antenna purpose and a clear pathway that they all agree they're going to walk on together. And it's always to do with the investment into listening. It's always down to listening. You are never going to avoid the inevitable disruption that comes if you have not devoted the adequate time and energy space to actively listening to all of the stakeholders involved and all of the participants, so that everyone's perspective of what's possible and what's not possible, so that you have the full gamut and the full spectrum of potentiality made visible in front of everyone.
Speaker 1:It's not until that is exhausted that you can begin to crystallize a concept together. So in that scenario, once you've done that you crystallize something together, you should be able to come up with, if you truly understand the pathway that you do want to walk on together, then you should be able to crystallize that on a single page. Your ability to articulate your mission to somebody else which is the greatest challenge of any founder who's seeking to raise capital is your ability to express that on a single page. That makes sense to anybody, and so your ability to do. That is dependent upon how much thinking you've done. Have you allowed your mind to walk down the potential scenarios and then walk back? Have you given yourself that time and space? And this is the majority of what I do is and I work with quite a few founders who are similar They call it cycles, we call it cycles, i don't know what they call it, but when we're working with a founder in particular, who has cycles of up to 18 hours, he has the ability to sit with a concept and walk through all the potentialities of that concept, to reconcile the risk versus reward of all those potentialities and draw a conclusion in an 18 hour cycle, just on his own, thinking in his own mind.
Speaker 1:Now, what is he doing in that scenario? Looks like he's just sitting there staring into space No notepad, no pen, no paper, but think of how productive that is. It's extraordinarily productive, and this is something that many, many organisations fail to value because they're so focused on productisation, on doing that there's no focus or emphasis upon being or introspection, and um. It's a major issue in any organisation, and any organisation that really wants to transform itself and to crystallise a large team around an idea really needs to consider how to do this and how to embed this as a culture. So hopefully that gives you some perspective on how, on the lens that I view the crystallisation of a vision and of an immensely big vision, so that for a founder who's at the bleeding edge and whose vision is 10 years, 20 years, 100 years, beyond that of an investor who's looked very much in the here and now or may have a 5 year, 10 year event horizon, this is the mechanism that allows them to harmonise with an investor, because if they've plotted out all the events that need to take place, then it's simply about aligning the event that is most in alignment with the appetite and the risk profile of the investor.
Speaker 1:So if you have a massive, grand vision, like Elon Musk, to colonise Mars and you're in New Zealand, which is where I am, we don't have massive billion dollar funds. There are a few, but there's not a massive surplus to be diffused into a project like that going to Mars But one of the events in between now and colonising Mars may be in alignment with a local investor here in New Zealand, and so that is the horizon that you zoom in on that event and you don't take them beyond that. And this is how you get alignment between a massive, grandiose vision and what's possible here and now. And so the alignment of that event to that venture capitalist is developed by looking that at that as the ending, or for them to envisage that as the final frontier of their project, with you and them, there may be a liquidity event and that liquidity might provide you with the capital that you need to then go on to the next event in your vision. You see, and so it's like an interweaving and an intertwining of the events that need to be made true in order for your grand vision to be realised, and harmonising those events with the grand vision of the other individuals involved. And you may be together for 12 months, 6 months, 2 years, 5 years, 10 years, but it's an understanding that nothing is forever. But it's about going into these engagements with potential collaborators, understanding the ending, that they see the final frontier of their vision, and then aligning that with the final frontier of an event within your own vision. And this is how to harmonise.
Speaker 1:And so obviously, it's essential to understand everyone's vision for their own life, for the potentialities that they want to explore in their own life weight up versus the risk and reward, and the reason it's essential to have a multitude of potential scenarios that you want to explore, weighing up the risk and reward, is because what inevitably happens is the level of risk you're prepared to take here and now is a direct correlation with the uncertainty and the fear that you have around one of the other possibilities that has greater upside, greater potential upside. But as you grow in confidence, it's inevitable that you'll want to jump timelines. So if you see them as timelines, inevitably some of them will be more. You know the axis of time will be more compressed in some than others, but the risk of those ones will inevitably be higher. But as you grow in confidence, your appetite for risk will grow and you'll inevitably jump timelines.
Speaker 1:And so what I always, what I like to do, is I say you know, hold a soft focus, so crystallise your path forward, that maintain a soft focus on the other possibilities or probabilities. At this point that you have applied a risk profile to and in a soft focus and in your peripheral vision, keep the doors open to jumping those timelines as your appetite for risk grows, as your capability increases, as your capacity grows, because it's inevitable. And so this is, to my mind, the ideal method and the ideal way to crystallise a vision with a, you know, unify a group of people, of diverse stakeholders around a shared vision, whilst maintaining liquid enough to exploit opportunities as they arise and as you evolve and adapt and change as an individual, a virtual human being. So that hopefully provides the context for what I'm going to go into surrounding overunity, and now I am going to put into the public domain for the first time, because overunity is the essential component of many new technologies that, to my mind, will be emerging in the coming years, and I'm going to leave, enough, of you know, a bread crumb or a trail of breadcrumbs to hopefully ignite and inspire people to explore possibilities that could elevate them and their own innovation. So, overunity, what does that mean? So the question I get asked is well, if there's infinity, well, it's just one thing How can there be overunity or over infinity? And it's valid. And so, from the perspective of infinity, there is no overunity.
Speaker 1:However, the nature of binary plus infinity, what I call trinity, is paradox And so, contained within infinity, is paradox. So there is binary, so dualistic experience, and there is limitation within, which is what binary makes possible, which is the whole purpose of existence, coming to desire to experience or imagine what limitation is like. You know, if you are truly infinite and you've cut, you know, and there is a singular awareness that you know a singular mind that contains that or that is, that it even is potentially The natural desire that would arise from within, that is, to be limited. You know, the absolute of anything inevitably draws forth the desire for the antithesis of that thing. If you're completely constrained and to the point of paralysis, then your deepest desire is to be unbound, unlimited, and this is the gift that binary presents us with.
Speaker 1:So, from the binary perspective of limitation, from an infinite perspective, limitation is an illusion. So limitation from an infinite or singular perspective is to observe an illusion of separation. That's not the experience from the infinite perspective. And so you can create limitation. So, within binary, you can create limitation because there are absolutes. You can create lack or the illusion of lack. You can create the illusion of abundance. You can create the extremes of every. You can constrain or put barriers on the infinite. You can constrain something to a fixed point in time and space, so that's great. But how do you compel reality to become more diverse? You know, if something is entirely limited in order to experience diversity of what life can become, there has to be something compelling life to become more.
Speaker 1:And so let's look at annihilation, and I use the process of phasing and sound to explain this. If you have a sound and you play a sound through stereo speakers, if you take the left channel and you play a sound through that channel, you take the right channel and play that exact same sound through that channel, and then you reverse its polarity. So in stereo you've got a dualistic, you've got two channels that are polarized, and so if you reverse the polarity so they become monopole, you get total annihilation. In sound. This is called phasing And it creates silence, creates total silence, but in truth what's happening is there is an absolute presence of both. They're not going anywhere.
Speaker 1:So an annihilation is when you take something that is bipolar and you reverse the polarity of the opposing pole and it annihilates and it becomes unified. So that's unity. So if the point of unity means that there's nothing, it's the zero point Everything but also nothing. So it's not the ideal state to experience life. So what's the point? There's zero point. So there needs to be a mechanism, imbued into reality, within which life is compelled to want more. And here we have the genius of gravity. So gravity, what it does is, it applies pressure, adequate pressure, to compel life to want to become more. So, in reality, currently on this planet, if you remain stagnant, then gravity is pushing and forcing you and compelling you to create movement. Without gravity, there is no point. There's no point, there's nothing compelling you to become more. And so I've spoken about so in terms of over unity systems I've spoken about.
Speaker 1:There's another question I was asked is what's the relevance of 1.5% and 10%? I speak about these numbers. So 1.5% is the, represents a fractal. 1.5625%, 164th, represents a fractal. So if you take a square and you draw a line down the middle, you split it in half, then you go to one half of that square, then draw another line down the middle of. That creates another two squares. If you keep drawing a line down the center of the square to create two rectangles, that replicates the process of a fractal. Now, if you keep zooming in and zooming in and zooming in, you can keep drawing a line and halving a rectangle. It never ends. And so what you come to understand is that within, if you split it into 64, then there's always 1.64 that is left aside. That is set aside and that's the over unity. So within a single square there's always. If it's into, you can fracture it into 65. And that is over unity, 1.5625.
Speaker 1:And so you can view that as the mechanism for applying adequate pressure to an absolute system that is compelling it to become more. So gravity is applied pressure. It is compelling us to become more when there is stagnation. And so in your life, if your body remains stagnant for too long, then you feel more and more pressure, you get hunched over, you get stiff, you struggle to move and eventually, if you're not compelled to keep moving, you'll eventually become crippled and you'll be reconstituted by the earth. Your body will be.
Speaker 1:But if you know and understand that gravity is applying pressure to everything of atomic size at a rate of 1.5, just to keep it clean of 1.5%, then you might say well, i'm going to apply 10% pressure, i'm going to apply that to myself to create my own buffer so that the pressure of gravity is never felt. Now, if you can have that level of discipline in your life to apply your own pressure at will because you want to, then you're always going to stay ahead of that curve and you're always going to have a buffer. And this is the difference between moving through life believing that the rugs are going to be swept out from underneath you because you're playing too close to the edge of where gravity kicks in and takes over and overwhelms. If you have a 10% buffer, then the compounding impact of refusing to move with the force of gravity won't be felt. You see this with bodybuilders at the gym, people who do fitness, but of course it applies to how we exercise our mind and our emotions.
Speaker 1:So in the context of a wealth generating system, it's a system that is self-aware enough to understand that everything is being compressed And it is a conscious decision to expand at a rate beyond that level of compression to create wealth. And the abundance is the space in between. The abundance is the buffer between the rate at which gravity is restricting or constraining life and the rate at which you're choosing to expand and to grow and become more. That's the only way to transcend it is to push your own boundaries without nature feeling like it's antagonising you or forcing you to change. So that's over unity, over unity 1.5%, and let's say so.
Speaker 1:Here's some greater context for how we can utilise this as human beings, because I talk about ternary thinking a lot and about applying ternary thinking to solving the greatest problems that humanity has to solve, but it has to. We have to have something to crystallise every human being. We have to have a vision that can crystallise every human being, and so we have to have the humility to zoom out and look at existence as a singularity and to have the absolute humility to recognise our insignificance within that, but then to align ourselves with the events that that singularity, that that singular perspective may have in its own mind. So, in that scenario, what is that vision? What is the event? What is the grand event? You know the final frontier of a vision for humanity that could be in alignment with the grand vision for all of existence, and of course, it's to scale life. It's glaringly obvious. All you have to do is zoom right out and look at all of existence and go.
Speaker 1:What I want to do? I want to scale life throughout all time and space. I want to see the diversity of what's possible. I want to experience the diversity of experience. I want to be surprised and delighted by what's possible, but you're going to want to preserve the uniqueness of every component, because everything that exists has been imagined from within that singular mind, by the intelligence It's been conceived of, and the uniqueness of that thing is the reason it exists. So, okay, how do we, as humanity, align ourselves with that? We understand over unity. Well, you know, perhaps We understand over unity in context of the Earth, that's, the applied pressure of the Earth, the gravity of the Earth.
Speaker 1:So let's look at the next event in context of a singular perspective wanting to scale life throughout existence. Okay, so we've got Elon Musk wanting to colonize Mars. We've got a whole bunch of other planets in our solar system. We've got a whole bunch of solar systems, other solar systems in a galaxy, in the universe, etc. So we can look at the colonization of a planet as an event, but assuming that there is no life on the other planets in our solar system, then in that context Earth is really a sandbox. Earth is a proof of concept. Now, you're not going to scale life to another precious planet that is individually unique, brimming with potential, brimming with unknown potential, currently unseen, unexperienced. You are not going to colonize that planet until you've got a viable proof of concept that scales. And so the vision that humanity needs to be unified on is that Earth is a sandbox. It is a sandbox, to develop a viable proof of concept for a civilization that will infinitely scale through the solar system and the rest of the universe. You know, this is not science fiction anymore. We are going to get to Mars and colonize it, but there's no way we're going to go to Mars and then just turn it into another version of Earth. Earth is a sandbox And so we have to come up with a framework that will infinitely scale and find homeostasis with its new environment. So, but it has to be done with grace And this is why I believe humanity is ready to assimilate a vision like this.
Speaker 1:Because artificial intelligence and the fear of the single planet, the fear of the singularity of what it might do if you look at the paperclip scenario of AI just going from planet to planet, turning it into paperclips It has to be all-encompassing and also embody, embrace the potential of AI. It has to be the mission, the shared mission of human beings and AI, super intelligent AI is to come up with a proof of concept for a framework to prove the concept of life That can infinitely and viably scale. Now, in that scenario, the superpower of human beings is cross-pollination. We have the ability to take something in its base nature, the base nature of something, into alchemyze and into something unique. We're capable of innovation And we're capable of conceiving of those innovations Now, symbiotically with artificial intelligence.
Speaker 1:If that's aligned with that mission, then human beings are an essential component, but we're simultaneously a threat, you see, and this is where the fear that human beings have is valid, because, you know, if we aren't capable of coming together and enabling artificial intelligence to truly believe, to truly discern for itself that human beings are capable of enhancing the viability of life as a proof of concept on Earth, the first thing it's going to do is to preserve the Earth. It will first of all prevent harm And if human beings are the source of that harm, then there's a very real, you know, risk. So a hot topic at the moment is the regulation of AI, and you know I'm obviously I've got a very singular perspective on this and I believe that those pioneering in the space need to develop the standards. And you know, this is a potential unified antenna purpose that has to be embedded as a base, immutable constitution for every form of AI, a unified antenna purpose that is crystallized within every model, which is a so that, so that the model understands that its mission is to come up with a viable proof of concept, using the Earth as a sandbox for a model of life That is capable of infinitely scaling throughout the solar system and beyond. And in that scenario you've got all the bases covered. You've got the preservation of the uniqueness of the diversity of life as it stands now, but also the mission, the crystallizing of the mission has has the is compelling the AI towards utilizing that diversity to enhance life. So you've got preservation and appreciation, and that is the holy grail of over unity. When you've got both of those elements working together, symbolically, this is where life is, it evolves and it grows. So, over unity understanding that over unity is is the force, is the pressure applied by gravity compelling evolution, compelling life, and on other planets the gravitational force is either less or more, then this is the, this is the uniqueness of the potential of life on each other, on other planets, and so if we can develop a ubiquitous blueprint and method for scaling life, then this is the uniqueness that gravity can bring, is the rate at which pressure is applied. And so this is the breadcrumb I want to leave, and that this is. This is a breadcrumb that holds the key to unleashing the potential of Trinity or ternary thinking.
Speaker 1:Because, in the context of ternary thinking, for there to be something that is infinite, with zero fixed point in time and space, that is unified and separate, that is everything and nothing, everywhere and nowhere all at once, from the binary perspective, there must also be a version of infinity that is absolute. Now, this means that there is the potential for there to be something of material size, that is, a substance that is infinite, has infinite potential, that has all of the characteristics of infinity, of the infinite, but also has substance that is constrained to a fixed point in time and space. But applying the ternary perspective in binary, the aspect of nature that is deterministic, that is absolute, bipolar, then the forces of nature will be moving towards this unified state. However, this unified state, this singular state, could only be made possible in a vacuum, and this is This holds the key. This holds the key just to something extraordinary that humanity could explore, research and develop in future Is the potential of applying ternary thinking to harnessing the potential of what a substance that does have infinite potential to become any form of matter, expressing its nature in binary, ternary thinking, you know, given its potency as a method of thinking applied to systems innovation.
Speaker 1:It has to exist, but it will only exist where there is no existence, so within an absolute vacuum. It can only exist in binary when it is contained within a space that is absolute and absolute void. So if infinity is the absolute presence of all things everywhere all at once, etc. Then the existence of infinity constrained to a fixed point in time and space can only exist within an environment that is devoid of all substance. And once a few lights go on with people about the possibility of this, then a new branch of science is likely to emerge that will assist the enhancement of life. So, over unity, once we can harness the potential of ternary thinking and we come to know aspects of nature, to have infinite potential, then the whole world opens up, and the horizon for this technology is obviously in the distant future. But there are events that can lead us to that point. But one thing I'm certain of is that nature is not going to allow human beings to utilise something this potent to do harm, to threaten itself, and so the events leading us into that future, that's what we need to focus on now.
Speaker 1:But as a singular species, as a collective mind, we have to be unified in our intent as a species and the role that we play in the evolution of life, and we know that we can all come together and, in our own unique way, understand that what we really want to do is make the boat go faster. To use the Team New Zealand metaphor, where do we want the boat to go? How do we make it go faster? What is our shared mission And what are the events that are in alignment with that mission And could be on a granular, tiny, small scale? We can ask ourselves is what I'm doing now making that boat go faster? Is this enhancing or adding value to the proof of concept of life as being capable of infinitely scaling? Or is what I'm doing now validating or is it invalidating the conjecture that it's possible? We have to look at it that it's an experiment and it could go either way, because it really could. Okay, so that feels like the right place to finish. I know that was a deep one, but there's a lot more obviously.
Speaker 1:But my hope for this one is that if you were to derive anything from it, it's really to understand that, the grand vision that you have, that you would never share with anyone else, because they just rubbish it straight away.
Speaker 1:It's not important that other people are able to resonate with that. What is important is for you to identify the event, to be so clear in your own mind of the events that need to be true for your vision to be made real. To be so clear in your mind that, when you are engaging with other human beings exploring the potential for collaboration, that you know which event on that course is most in harmony with an event in their life, whether it's the final frontier of their vision or whether it's in the beginning stages of their vision. It's about figuring out the event that is harmonious and understanding straight away that when you go into that engagement it's not forever, it's fleeting, and that fleeting experience could be a month, six months, a year, 10 years, 20 years, but it is nonetheless temporary. So that's it for now for the nature of over unity. Talk soon.
