Another take on the "big picture" summary:
The goal of the project is to create a man/machine symbiosis that
augments human thinking in ways that increase our ability to
collaboratively investigate and solve complex problems. Such problems
include the impending energy crisis, as well as the prospect of
"runaway" technological threats stemming from genetic engineering,
biotechnology, or nanotechnology -- either intentionally or
inadvertently. Less urgent, but equally complex problems targeted
by the system include deliberations over fiscal policy, jurisprudence,
and the design of future knowledge management systems. To support
these goals, the system will support rapid authoring and interaction.
It will be easily searched, promote unprecedented levels of information
organization, evaluation, and reuse, and it will allow for the
development of next-generation systems that perform some forms of
automated reasoning. Above all, it's major goal is to assist us in
dealing with very high levels of complexity, both individually and
collectively.
