Hi Andrius,

Below's my filled application form for Minciu Sodas -- apologies for the delay.
How about us considering having our mindcosms working as a union?  -- a tighter minds parallel of the European Union? Assess what Minciu Sodas' comparative advantage in strengths and resources are , ditto for APIC Mind Colonies and conjoin the two better? Us rowing in the same direction but focussing on difference inter-connectible aspects -- like a ship going in the same direction but key minds within the ship are taking charge of different functions.

And priorities and philosophy-wise identify that which we very much agree on, and work together on the highest priorities in functions that fall within that philosophy. Disregard other areas until we come to the bridge. Like a bee and a flower -- they are very dissimilar and complement/work together. We are much less dissimilar -- should be easier :-)

Am cc'ing our constituency,  to make more aware of and some air steps towards this possibility.

And we can have more go up the value chain by "primarily public" publishing  this process. On how mindcosms device and utilise criterias for assessing and evaluating unioning more with other mindcosms.

Hi Bala,

Thank you for your letters, and signing me up for your group.
Could you quickly fill out our application?  You can always edit it later.  Let's get this formality out of the way.  Then it will be nice to work together!  (Otherwise I will have to worry about it).
You understand!

Thank you,

Andrius
