Constructing Alternative Futures for Humankind

Lewis Meta-systems is a comprehensive component of Lewis Works that provides the informational and knowledge foundation for designing and development of alternative global-systems models of human ecological and social adaptation. These models are based upon the criterion of long-term sustainability of both the human population and the natural environment. Such sustainability can only be achieved through augmentation and increase in the availability and quantities of basic energy and food resources, and the realization of human development and greater individual freedom and human rights/responsibilities through education, innovative development of alternative democratic social institutions, and the effective use of emergency and anti-structural mechanisms in the world.

Global Integration is inevitable: it ultimately remains our collective choice as to how well this integration will be achieved.

Lewis Metasystems was organized as an applied systems science framework to address in a concerted manner potential design applications and research upon three main levels of natural systems stratification: 1. physical systems; 2. biological systems; 3. human systems. These three levels constitute the main subsystems of the Lewis Metasystems framework, that are represented by solarmetasystems.com, earthfingers.com and alternativeanthropology.org, respectively. Lewis Metasystems is the most complex and strategically focal area of the entire Lewis-works framework.

Though the subsystems frameworks are very different from one another, and sometimes involve totally distinct and unrelated methodologies and interests, the metasystemic integration of these four subsystems constitutes the foundation for alternative development and applied systems teleology in the world. The subsystems cannot therefore be realistically or analytically separated without doing harm to the holistic pattern of their natural heterogeneous, metasystemic integration.

Clear and finite design solutions are available in each subsystem that, when combined into a larger metasystem framework, provide the foundation and blueprint for future development in no uncertain terms. The challenge becomes therefore to design the components of the subsystems in various ways, to identify central problem sets relevant to each subsystem area and component, and to develop experimentally a range of implementation strategies and extensive applications of the various subsystem components in a manner that achieves successful metasystemic integration and distribution upon local, sub-local, regional, inter-regional, global and super-global levels. Ultimately, a single well integrated and widely distributed metasystem, relatively simple in basic design though complex in its variegated application pattern, should emerge as a consequence of this combined set of developmental pursuits.

The core of the applied metasystems framework is a multi-purpose experimental design laboratory that is situated within a domestic metasystem context including a multipurpose workshop, garden spaces, studio-study, storage, and prototype-testing facility, with connected auxiliary facilities. This experimental domestic metasystems framework includes physical, biological and living human systems, and provides an alternative context for habitation and productive work as part of a larger distributed/integrated network system that includes decentralization and redistribution of basic production and process systems.

Complementary focus within the intermediate stage of development is upon infrastructural metasystems that provides the framework for distribution/integration on local, regional and global levels, and strategies of extensification that will allow basic metasystems designs at various levels to become adapted and specialized for specific areas of apllication. It is evident for instance that a hydrogen based fuel or energy economy would be impossible without the implementation of a network of hydrogen pipelines that can serve both needs for storage and regulated delivery of liquified hydrogen over very large distances. Similarly, electrical energy grids derived from multiple alternative sources would have to link together upon local and regional levels and be capable of providing extra energy over very large regional areas of the earth, including submarine and subterranean networks. Transportation would have to be based upon hydrogen and electric energy sources, and would involve integrated network systems and facilities for marine, land-based and aero-space applications. Communication and control systems would entail extensive development of both wireless and cable connections, automated, intelligent control systems, and sophisticated monitoring and sensing applications.
