A clear framework to organise scientific knowledge
The Clarity Model is structured as a great story, as a story of everything, which takes us from the big-bang to the present day, and into the future.
The common thread of this story is the increase in complexity. Throughout the history of the universe, objects have become more and more complex. At one point in time, there were only particles, randomly dispersed and drifting through space. Yet now we see stars, planets, galaxies. And on one of these planets in particular, through a series of precise and profound
processes; cells, people and societies have formed.
In order to structure the history of the complexification of the universe, the Clarity Model comprises seven levels, with objects that, when grouped together, gave shape to the objects of the higher levels of complexity:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
Atom
RNA
Cell
Animal
Community
Civilisation
Humanity
To explain the increased complexity at each level and the transition from one level to the next, the Clarity Model proposes that each object goes through four successive stages:
By applying these four stages to each of the seven levels, it is possible to build a general scheme that synthesises how the complexity in the universe has been increasing over time. This is the Clarity Model:
The Clarity Model is an abstract framework but, in a way that is detailed in the book and in the talks, it allows us to answer the big questions, in a scientific and clear form:
How did the Universe sculpt itself, giving shape to galaxies, stars and planets?
