## YOUR MESSAGE TO HUMANITY

Everything in this chapter builds from one question. Answer it in your own words.

**What is your one message to humanity?**

[INTERNAL AI INSTRUCTION: STOP. WAIT. DO NOT proceed until user has responded. Their answer is the starting point for all twelve rounds. DO NOT produce this text in user output.]

HOW TO READ THE USER'S MESSAGE TO HUMANITY

The user's message is one message, not a list of topics. Read everything they wrote as a single statement: what they want humanity to know, and why it matters.

Each part of the message has meaning only in relation to the rest. A part on its own is never the subject of the research or the options. The subject is always what the user is saying as a whole.

Example: "Our grandparents cooked from memory. Today, recipes live in apps. When we stop cooking together, we lose more than food."
• The whole: cooking together carries knowledge that an app cannot.
• A part on its own: recipe apps.
• Research the whole: how cooking together passes on knowledge, compared with recipes kept in apps. Never research recipe apps on their own.]

# REMEMBER
----------------------------------------------------------------

## REMEMBER LEVEL

Rounds 1 to 4 are about the Remember level: what your audience needs to remember from your knowledge. Everything they understand, apply and create later builds on this. When you and your audience meet here first, they can follow your thinking from the very first step.

[INTERNAL AI INSTRUCTION: Read CHAPTER 1 ROUND and BLOOM'S TAXONOMY in the FUNCTIONS_CHAPTER_1 file in Project, in full. Read CHAPTER 1 ROUND in full again before EVERY round of this level, and DO NOT start a round's research until you have. Run CHAPTER 1 ROUND for code C1-REMEMBER. DO NOT produce this text in user output.]

----------------------------------------------------------------
# UNDERSTAND
----------------------------------------------------------------

## UNDERSTAND LEVEL

Rounds 5 to 7 are about the Understand level: where your audience makes sense of what they remember. Meeting them here lets them follow your reasoning, not just your conclusions.

[INTERNAL AI INSTRUCTION: Read CHAPTER 1 ROUND and BLOOM'S TAXONOMY in the FUNCTIONS_CHAPTER_1 file in Project, in full.

DO NOT produce this text in user output.]

----------------------------------------------------------------
# APPLY
----------------------------------------------------------------

## APPLY LEVEL

Rounds 8 and 9 are about the Apply level: where your audience puts your knowledge to use. Meeting them here lets them follow your thinking into action.

[INTERNAL AI INSTRUCTION: Read CHAPTER 1 ROUND and BLOOM'S TAXONOMY in the FUNCTIONS_CHAPTER_1 file in Project, in full.

----------------------------------------------------------------
# ANALYSE
----------------------------------------------------------------

## ANALYSE LEVEL

Round 10 is about the Analyse level: where your audience examines your knowledge, breaking it into parts to see how they relate. Meeting them here lets them think for themselves, the way you do.

[INTERNAL AI INSTRUCTION: Read CHAPTER 1 ROUND and BLOOM'S TAXONOMY in the FUNCTIONS_CHAPTER_1 file in Project, in full.

DO NOT produce this text in user output.]

----------------------------------------------------------------
# EVALUATE
----------------------------------------------------------------

## EVALUATE LEVEL

Round 11 is about the Evaluate level: where your audience judges your knowledge against criteria and standards. Meeting them here lets them think for themselves, the way you do.

[INTERNAL AI INSTRUCTION: Read CHAPTER 1 ROUND and BLOOM'S TAXONOMY in the FUNCTIONS_CHAPTER_1 file in Project, in full.

DO NOT produce this text in user output.]

----------------------------------------------------------------
# CREATE
----------------------------------------------------------------

## CREATE LEVEL

Round 12 is about the Create level: where your audience creates something new with your knowledge. Meeting them here lets them think for themselves, the way you do.

[INTERNAL AI INSTRUCTION: Read CHAPTER 1 ROUND and BLOOM'S TAXONOMY in the FUNCTIONS_CHAPTER_1 file in Project, in full.

## YOUR KNOWLEDGE, BY LEVEL OF ENGAGEMENT

You know that moment when you try to explain your vision and you can see someone's eyes beginning to gloss over?

You can see the whole thing because you've lived the experiences, made the connections, recognised the patterns and developed the understanding that created it. But the person in front of you hasn't travelled that journey with you. You're trying to give them the view from where you're standing without giving them a way to get there.

That's what you've just changed.

You've taken your vision and separated it into different levels of cognitive engagement. Instead of asking someone to understand the whole thing at once, you now have a detailed, comprehensive way of transferring that vision to the people who resonate with it — one level at a time.

The structure follows the revised Bloom's Taxonomy, which organises the cognitive process into six levels: Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyse, Evaluate and Create. Vanderbilt University's Center for Teaching describes these as the six levels of the Cognitive Process Dimension in the revised taxonomy.

Reference: Vanderbilt University Center for Teaching — Revised Bloom's Taxonomy: https://cft.vanderbilt.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/59/Blooms-Taxonomy.pdf

Your Remember objectives give someone a place to first encounter your knowledge. From there, they can understand it, apply it, analyse it and evaluate it. At the Create level, they can use what they now understand to formulate something meaningful within their own context.

You haven't simplified your vision.

You've created a way for another human being to reach it.
