Platform Powering Cognitive and Memetic Digital Twins: To Boldly Go Where Memes May Live Long and Prosper
摘要
A novel knowledge management (KM) approach aims to offer a distributed, decentralized, bottom-up, affordable, knowledge-worker-centric application prioritizing personalization, mobility, generativity, and entropy reduction; its mission is to serve a knowledge-co-creating community characterized by highly diverse individual abilities, contexts, means, and ends facing increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous futures. This paper reflects on its longitudinal academic design science research undertaking (DSR) recently complemented by a start-up project. With an initial focus on a Personal KM System (PKMS), the publications and developments have evolved towards a digital platform and community for knowledge co-creation. The digital twin concept is utilized and extended to introduce and visualize the envisioned system which substitutes the traditional document-centric paradigm with a meme-based approach to ease authorship via smart-manufacturing methodologies. Memetics affords a metaphor of knowledge as living organisms which not only changes the symmetries of connecting people and knowledge but also the logics and logistics for creating a more just digital future for all.
