Scope definition discussion

MU Scope Summary

Meta University is a data-centric knowledge management project, which means that it will provide an intellectual framework and operational platform to enable data-centric knowledge management.

More concretely, MU provides a step-by-step curriculum to lead students and learning organizers to utilize PKC, so that an increasingly larger community could afford to operate data-intensive activities and accumulate representable knowledge collaboratively.

The MU project therefore will present a set of data/content organizing principles, functional features, required resources, and tools for running interoperable learning organizations based on data exchange activities.

Time Periods

The initial formulation of MU will take about 45 days, starting from March 1st, 2022, to April 15th, 2022. During this period, the basic feature of MU, in terms of people, process, and technologies.
The initial operational period of MU will take three months, starting from April 15th, 2022, to July 15th, 2022. During this period, a small group of students will be using features defined by MU to conduct learning experiments and collect operational data.
The initial refinement of MU will take two more months, starting from July 1st, 2022, to September 15th, 2022. During this period, participants of the initial MU project will create a document summarizing how to run MU using the proposed methods and tools.

Participants

Data Scientists and Learning Organizers: Muhammad Haviz and Ben Koo will be working on designing the infrastructure to enable learning activities and data retention.
Content Providers and Students: Surya University and Gasing Method students will be the initial practitioners to adopt PKC and MU.
The initial budget of MU is shown below: Meta Unviersity/Budget
The main success criteria are to be judged by the viral adoption of MU as a generic model for content exchange and learning assessment.

In the following schema, try to define with short sentences, binary relations and close thoughts. (e.g. This road is red. This road has the purpose to go to Shanghai. avoid narrative thinking)

Scope summary definition schema

Define what exactly is MU

Meta University is an abstract specification of how to run a hybrid (online/offline) learning organization based on Data-centric knowledge. More specifically, the learning activities should be designed with Data Governance in mind.

Where this idea came from? This idea came from many years of field practice, and documented in Extreme Learning Process.

What is happening in this world so that MU becomes important? The physical implication of data processing is challenging many assumptions of prior knowledge management and learning practices, so that a data-centric knowledge management practice must be defined and tested to identify new opportunities.

What are the successors? What are the prequels like e.g. 42?

What do we do at MU? MU is going to capture documentation and data feedback of all of its practitioners.

What is the target candidates of MU?

How hard is to make the courses?

What is MU Based on?

Do I get a College degree here? It is possible that future college degrees will follow standards specified by MU. Is there any teachers

Who represents MU? is it a country or a group of people?

How is it sponsored? tuitions? or how?

What comes after MU, professionally? what are my exits?

Will I become an engineer?

Project time cycle period

The project is intended to become a school, therefore it will have specific calendars. However, this project is a "school implementation" not yet running a school. So it's important to define in which time this implementation will happen until the school officially starts

Provisional Project start =

Provisional Project End (official school day = Project implementation ends) =

Define the packages:

- What are the deliverables (items/products) (or D)
- What are the packages of work (or user stories) (or WP)
- What are the milestones (or M)
- What are the critical deadlines/paths (or CP)
- Define for each one above (D, WP, M, CP node) the provisional Start and End dates
- define the boundaries and control limits for each package to be delivered successfully

Manage Stakeholders

It's possible to define several roles and types of stakeholders, however at the moment let's use more the definition of Prince2 (a concurrent of PMI), defined by 3 groups, please try to described roles and possible names that you have sure. If it's a group (e.g. young people with ages between 15-20) just give a name of that group:

Note: internal stakeholders means inside the structure like an employee in a company; external it's often understood as either outsourcing, crashing, fixed-prices supplies but not mandatory to be (e.g. Consulting is grouped on business and it's external too)

1. Business (normally internal)
2. Suppliers (normally external)
3. users or buyers (normally external)

Provisional Project Budget

Transport all packages of work to here and give an estimated work cost

Success criteria definition

Success Criteria requires to be defined by the deliverables of work in proper quality

Abstract Specification
Context	As Moore's Law^[1] shifted the paradigm of data processing by claiming that data processing capabilities will grow at an exponential pace. This exponential growth assumption has not only guided the development of technologies, but also challenged social and economic believes around the world. It also becomes a theory that shapes our perception of the half-life of useful knowledge. Since all knowledge must be representable in some form of processable data, the functions of universities in general are about creating intuitive data presentation, effective data processing, and providing of highly-available data content.
Goal	The goal of MU is to enable all learnable organizations to become self-aware through the following tri-fold knowledge organization framework: Establish a sound cognitive foundation grounded on data: Data Structures and Algorithms to process the data. Support decisions with effective methods: Teach computational thinking to improve upon mental models and the awareness and skills to use computing tools. Improve upon the system of knowledge: Publish knowledge content and create data manipulation methods and tools to attenuate unnecessary information asymmetry.
Success Criteria	Organizations and individuals that contribute to MU-based learning activities must be able to exchange data in a consistent format that is compliant with a common data exchange format defined by the MU community. MU-related data content should be labeled by a common time-stamping system that defines the partial ordering sequences of data updates across all MU data sets. The degree of MU success will be continuously measured by the amount of published knowledge content that reached consensus according to the consensus reaching process defined by MU community.

Definition on CpL and CpL = Xp/t

The objective to have CpL is to substitute completely inaccurate scores of intelligence such as IQ tests. This score system, is a metric reporting on intelligence but also person capabilities and should be replicated to any education institution. CpL can be only performed with enough time since time is the "key" for measuring any skill of an individual.

Capacity of Learning (as a grade) or CpL

$CpL=Xp/t$

CpL is a total score value for measuring human capacity in a similar way as the IQ specially created for MU. Instead of a "full of flaws" test such as IQ, CpL uses time to correct the accuracy of intelligence and by a progressive method. Before measuring what a human brain can be or do at the time of a test, it challenges the capacity of the individual to adapt and improve through several different and unique experiences to become better. Therefore, each individual that complete the experiences faster than others and with the same quality means that has a better capacity to learn, adapt and provide actual value in a job, challenge, research or even diplomatic discussion.

CpL corrects the current intelligence measuring systems because it has an extra variable which is essential to life.

' How do we calculate CpL?

$CpL$ is calculated through a dynamic variable called experience ( $Xp$ ) divided by time( $t$ ).
Experience (or $Xp(t)$ ) is a dynamic variable, meaning that it is a variable that changes constantly according to the real input of work. In other words, the amount of experience of learning will change over time, and the experience value will be labeled by MU process of learning. This means that our CpL grade can simply change without any personal action but by normal activity of all other participants
Defining Experience is calculated through a groups of projects called Challenges:
1. A Challenge can be a course like “learn foundations of JavaScript” , a simple service or any other activity that requires effective and measurable human behavior and time.
2. It is temporary and has a defined beginning and an end.
3. Challenges can’t be considerer if they are not finished, and realData can’t be used if the candidate simply delays giving a big lag in the time to complete.
4. Xp Projects are always defined with a fix value of 100 and have a timeStamp aggregated.
5. Project timeStamp is calculated through 2 means: by realData (by user direct experience) and dataAgregation (by a process of ML, grouping unsupervised data). realData is fundamental as a corrective of dataAgregation which is fundamental to have timeStamps when there is no history records yet on projects.
6. timeStamp is defined by units expressed in days. For smaller projects a fraction of daytime should be applied.
7. timeStamp is the maximum amount of time, real or predicted, to complete the Challenge and known as possible.
  1. Calculating Challenges (Ch) it is = 100 * Challenge timeStamp.
time( $t$ ) is the sum of candidate realTime challenges (that are included in XP).
Experience( $Xp$ ) is the sum of all Challenges
grading chart CpL = 100 it means that the person has the top capacity to learn on the subjects applied. but we have certain fallbacks:
1. A person can do better than the best time which will make the CpL pass 100, however, every time the time is improved it is also updated.
2. Since there is two means of verify the best timeStamp of a challenge, the new timestamp is never strictly updated to the person that has a better record of that time, which makes that user to pass the scale of CpL>100
Running Challenges requires a “clock engine" on PKC feeding the timeStamp

Additionally, out of university borders, to other areas such as a common package of work to a company, this metric is still valid and will put on test for life the participants making sure that each adaptation can be improved and not limited to a simple exam or quiz test.

about the Scope definition of the whole PKC

The following schema is necessary to be completed, it is a small draft of the early thinking on WeChat (26/02/2022) in order to create something sustainable and avoid deviations. Plans are often change and increase according to new knowledge as well explained under the hermeneutical notion diagram, which means it in order to complete and perform well it is necessary to define this "core-Loop" system and know when a cycle ends and a new iteration of work starts.

this is only one part according to our WeChat today, that I use your information to organize into a plan. this is helpful for us because without it, we will never know when will it be completed. we'll do uncontrollable loops eternally
