| | Freedom and choice will be protected and promoted by the system, however at the cost of a requirement for self- and social-responsibility in the resulting absence of controlling and protecting systems. Ensuring freedom requires the implementation of strategies to minimise the occurrence of abuse, i.e. freedoms of some at the expense of freedoms of others. Strategies must be found to enable non-disruptive freedom of speech, and freedoms that are inherently anti-social like playing loud music or producing unpleasant fumes. The development of such strategies would involve, for every need identified, asking "What is the underlying need and how can it be satisfied in a way that does not impact anyone else's freedom?" | | Freedom and choice will be protected and promoted by the system, however at the cost of a requirement for self- and social-responsibility in the resulting absence of controlling and protecting systems.

| − | == The new approach to Needs ==
| |
| − | A new approach to defining needs must be centered in the relationship between an individual, with their specific point-in-time characteristics, and their environment. Different people have different needs, and any given individual has different needs at different stages in their life, throughout the day, and even second by second. There is a dynamic equilibrium between an individual and their internal and external environments, an equilibrium that is akin to an organism's homeostasis or the equilibrium found in an entire ecosystem.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Human needs change permanently at individual level, and vary greatly at social level too between different groups of people. It can be said that the needs of a community is the total of the added needs of each individual. The [[Team:IMAR | IMAR system]] will provide some personalised guidelines and support for individual needs, and may use this information anonymously to enhance the accuracy of the needs of the community. However the focus of the IMAR system will be to provide for the needs of the community as a general average, at least at first.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Needs are interrelated and dependent on circumstances. As an example, needs for water supply for hygiene will likely be higher in hot climates than in cold climates, inasmuch as higher on hot days than in cold days. Water use for hygiene would also depend on the type of activities on the community, i.e. likely to be greater in communities with high incidence of hand-on work like agriculture and machinery than in communities with high incidence of intellectual and technical work.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There are also special needs for individuals who are not in perfect shape physically, intellectually, emotionally, or functional neurally. IMAR must cater for these special needs with an appropriate degree of priority according to provisions of equality and management of risk of self harm or harming others. Needs must also respect [[w:neurodiversity|neurodiversity]] and ensure there is no attempt for normalisation, but rather, supportive of the particulars of the neurological type of each individual, i.e. autism, dyslexia, ADHD, and also mental and personality disorders such as narcissism, melancholia, neurosis, etc.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Each Need, then, must be identified in relation to other needs, circumstances, environmental characteristics, time, individual circumstances, individual characteristics, individual goals, social goals, available resources, and predominant culture (or added averages of the various cultures). Needs must be identified primarily for the purpose of supporting IMAR, and IMAR's main concern is the provision for individual homeostasis, social sustainability, and environmental sustainability. Thus Needs exceed those of the humans, but also those of the community at large, and those of the surrounding environment too.

| |
| − | === Individual Needs (Homeostasis) ===
| |
| − | <!-- neural network; environment; dynamic equilibrium; different types of people have different needs; homeostasis: hygiene, food, water, comfortable temperature; neurodiversity; ideal / sufficient / insufficient / deficient
| |
| − | -->Homeostasis is the state in which an organism is stable and has the least change over time, or the least chances of leading to premature death. A [[RBEM]] system is most concerned, as a top priority, with the provision of everything required for maximising every individual's homeostasis. This involves the following:
| |
| − | # Clean oxygenated air
| |
| − | # Clean water to drink
| |
| − | # Safeguard from extreme temperatures
| |
| − | # Sufficiently nutritious and energetic food
| |
| − | # Hygienic systems for minimising chances of acquiring infectious diseases
| |
| − | # Access to physical and mental exercise
| |
| − | # Access to a social network providing emotional, interpersonal and sexual support
| |
| − | # Access to privacy
| |
| − | # Recognition, acceptance and respect within the community
| |
| − | # Freedom for full self-expression
| |
| − | # Access to a place of worship and spiritual activities
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === Community Needs (Social Sustainability) ===
| |
| − | Social Sustainability is the state in which a society is stable and can endure over time. A [[RBEM]] system is very concerned, as a priority only seconded to Individual Needs, and on par with Surrounding Environment Needs. In terms of priority, Social Sustainability is on par with Environmental Sustainability due to the symbiotic nature of these two, which together comprise general Sustainability. The needs for Social Sustainability comprise the following:
| |
| − | # Ensure that the community is in good terms and good legal and regulatory stance within the host country and state/province/locality
| |
| − | # Consensuated community objectives
| |
| − | # Consensuated community values and principles (a RBE system requires some of these to be in line with those of RBE itself, such as Openness, Horizontality, Voluntarism, [[w:Empiricism|Empiricism]], Access as opposed to Property, Cooperation as opposed to Competition, Gifting as opposed to Trading, etc)
| |
| − | # Trust in IMAR's ability to produce highly effective recommendations
| |
| − | # Trust in IMAR's meritocratic system, and respect for a given field's highly-merited individuals' authority and decision-making ability within such specific field
| |
| − | # Social bonding practices and activities
| |
| − | # Support for parenting and raising young
| |
| − | # Protection from discrimination, hostility or abusiveness from individuals or groups
| |
| − | # Universal access to the Internet, information about the community, and unrestricted places and activities
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === Surrounding Environment Needs (Environmental Sustainability) ===
| |
| − | # Maximise natural unadulterated space, by keeping land use per-capita to a functional minimum
| |
| − | # Avoid human-produced pollution and nutrients that threaten wildlife due to toxins or altering the natural biodiversity balance
| |
| − | # Control or exterminate invasive species resulting from past or present human activity
| |
| − | # Assist ecosystems by restoring populations of threatened wildlife or depleted local vegetation due to past or present human activity
