In a traditional bullying business environment fairness attracts the oppressed like gravity. Ease of doing business and the predictability of a good outcome that result from fair-minded exchange of any kind is an inviting prospect. Contrasted with the wary and nervous approach necessary in most circumstances, dependable expectations of fair treatment is a fantastic relief and a joy.

There is a degree of simplicity and comfort possible with an open and trusting relationship that permits far less expense applied toward multifaceted self protection. A onetime development of the criteria and standards for fairness can be mutually agreed to. It is tested with every communication, project, and exchange and carefully expanded and made more sophisticated. Respect and trust emerges with growing preference and expectation of dependability.

By removing the centuries old mistakes that have been propagated in cultures worldwide we can approach the potential leverages that cooperative social interaction can achieve. Fortunately the nature of our minds allows us to make significant repairs if we choose and are enthusiastically committed. The first step is to open up the artificial truncations that create the 'BOX' that many of us are vaguely aware of. Even looking outside the box begins to allow us to have less restricted more integrated non-linear insight into fairness and social leverages now obscured from our view. It is no longer necessary to continue to repeat the continuous conflict of past centuries.

Fairness is one of the most important keys to create the openness within our minds that allows curiosity, exploration, integrative thought, creativity, innovation... Every excuse for unfairness starts an expanding pattern of self deception and distortion that must be truncated in some way to avoid getting out of control and being discovered. This continually expands the subjects that must be avoided or blocked off in our minds. The traps used for evading these expanding subjects are more common and extensive than we are at first able to accept.

It will be too scary to concentrate exclusively on this unfairness category of mental truncation so we will explore several 'BOX' opening areas a little bit at a time. To start getting used to making our mental integration processes explicit we will demonstrate how these various tools reinforce each other in many ways. Hypertext allows us to follow our integrated processes for the first time in history. This website will begin to demonstrate this.

The internet has already made you familiar with linking as a means of quickly relating multiple information sources. We will use this linking as part of the presentation that integrates the relationships among the concepts mentioned above into an ensemble of interdependent ideas centered on the idea of fairness.

The gradual development of integrated structure within my presentation will allow you to take a break to explore other possibilities "outside the BOX" Return whenever your comfort zone expands and allows curiosity and further playful exploration. Integration involves many ways of structuring information exploration other than rigid linear progression. Explore and play with as many as you like.

Ivory tower exploration is fraught with hazards. It is far better to maintain reality contact with all of this mental exercise. One way to achieve this is to find one or a few like minded individuals in the area or on the internet and explore and discover the rest of our minds together. Exploration should be kept exciting and enjoyable as much as possible. Challenging us helps maintain interest, but a balance that stretches your comfort zone yet does not intimidate beyond our ability to be excited with discoveries and insights of how to dissolve inevitable conflicts. Notice that the word dissolve was used in place of the traditional word resolve.

Even though we must start with the only person we have or should have any control over to discover and develop our unexplored mental recesses the purpose is ultimately social. Many of the unfair practices that disrupt social interaction also are habits of thought that disrupt within each of our minds. Mutual support and enthusiasm integrates and puts into practice on multiple levels the principles and practices developed to operate a benevolent team effort. Honesty with oneself is a necessary ability to develop in order to be honest with others. Openness within ones own mind allows the possibility of openness with others. You cannot trust others unless you can trust yourself. Being nice to oneself is the foundation for understanding and feeling benevolence generally. Insufficient development of the preceding abilities inhibits the natural ability to integrate in many ways. Open comparison in a team effort is not initially easy and usually not even possible if those involved have not started to commit also, or are at least experimenting with refining the above abilities.

Developing these abilities is counterintuitive in many respects due to ancient adversarial cultural habits.

As methods and exercises are used to enhance the above abilities mutual appreciation will emerge roughly correlating with success. Fairness attracts fairness and the expansion of these initial explorations into more sophisticated integration and creative projects will increase mutual trust and inclination toward social interaction.
