What is written on the cap? "P" or "d"? How do you know?

WHAT

• A model of “HOW WE KNOW” called “Living in Two Worlds”
• A diagram of the model’s elements and connections 
• Elements: Physical world, Logical world and Attentional system
• Connections: from Attention to both worlds and from here to Attention
• In the Logical world distinguish ACTIVE and PASSIVE thought
• Descriptions of the elements and connections
• Descriptions of daily life situations seen in terms of the model

WHY

• Propose a new way to look at obsessive thoughts
• Contribute to a creative and responsible way of life
• Contribute to overcome learning obstacles, avoid that young people think: “I am not clever enough”
• Help in clarifying the misunderstandings about the constructivist view of how we know
• In particular: make clear from the start that in constructivism there is no denial of the physical world; in fact, here it is part of the model
  

HOW

• First draft of the model with the 3 elements connected: similar to the viability model diagram
•  New: distinction ACTIVE/PASSIVE thought in the LOGICAL world 
• Describe the processes and implications of this model 
• Explore ways to describe some simple, common, daily life situations in terms of the model: use bestsellers (like “The Secret”) for finding ideas about such situations
  
• Add more details (categorization, triads, correlations, etc.) when needed 
• During the development process, publish the results in a blog even if they are still provisional; this will provide a kind of journal (diary) of the project; in social media put links to the blog 
• Get feedback from friends and answer to their comments & questions 
• Perform Q&A sessions with a person interested in the subject “How we know”: the topics of the sessions will follow Ceccato’s lessons transcribed in his book “Il Punto”: from these Q&A get inspiration for further developing the model.  
• Record the Q&A sessions and publish them as a course on a suitable MOOC platform adding appropriate comments and resources 
• To be defined and estimated later: workpackages and resources (duration, personnel expenses and other costs)
  

WHO

• Project lead: Marco Bettoni 
• Contributors: Marco's friends. Tasks: read the project output during the development process, give feedback (comments, questions), get answers as adaptations or extensions of the model
  
• Partner of project “Punto”: a friend from Ukraine. Tasks: same like the other friends, additionally participate in Q&A sessions with project lead
