Recommended in advance

For those who are new to the concept of oksimo software, it is recommended to read the foundational article on oksimo software, see HERE.

FORECAST OF WATER SUPPLY FOR THE CITIZENS OF SCHÖNECK

START OF AN EXAMPLE

The oksimo software allows the creation of texts that follow the format of ‘sustainable empirical theories (NETs)’. Predictions generated using such theories can be manually produced directly, or—because these theories are too comprehensive—oksimo software can automatically execute the necessary conclusions.

It is assumed that the creation of a theory typically involves a group of people (at least one, but potentially many more), who act as ‘authors of the theory’. It is also assumed that these authors can agree on a common language (everyday language suffices, such as ‘German’ or ‘English’, but it could be any language).

Furthermore, in the case of a ‘sustainable empirical theory (NET)’, it is assumed that the authors can agree on an ‘initial situation’ along with at least one ‘goal’ that needs to be achieved.[1]

In the current case, this involves a real example with real citizens in a real community (61137 Schöneck), where the citizens want to develop a sustainable empirical theory that can daily answer for every citizen how much drinking water will be available tomorrow (and many more days to come).

These citizens have come together under the label of BiG (Citizens in Discussion) to form the BiG-Themengruppe WASSER (BiG Theme Group WATER) to develop such a theory.[2]
