Measuring Innovation

Innovation can be measured by the Kardeshev Scale and another dimension: (The Standard Kardeshev Model and The Expansive Model)

The numeric-

The baseline definition for the K-scale: energy harnessing and efficiency for existing systems. Increasing efficiency through numeric/ industrial means. How much more X innovation efficient assists us in becoming multiplanetary/multistellar. Whether that’s through coordination, consolidation, industry, etc.

The second dimension, the expansive- consists in human culture, cognition, and questioning. It is everything unseen of what humanity yet can be, and is one of the most unexplored yet important revelations for humanity at the moment. This is a change in how humanity operates, new fundamental belief systems, and entails a socratic explosion translated into a actualized civilization. As we strive towards a post capitalist society, which ASTRAL aims to build, these subjects will become increasingly relevant.

Some innovations may lie as a medium to the intersection of these two things, arguably the iphone does, although ASTRAL will have expanded humanity on a scale undreamt of.
