The Path of Construction

Before discussing the two parts mentioned in the preface, it is necessary to briefly outline the content nodes included in these two parts and provide an overall guide to the detailed discussions that follow. This will enable readers to grasp the construction framework of this chapter from a broader perspective and gain a deeper understanding of the detailed content on organizational construction. It must be emphasized again that the settings and definitions in this chapter are not absolute truths; they are merely speculative initial settings based on the theoretical framework of Intelligenism. Future practitioners can reinterpret and redefine them based on their own understanding.

In this chapter, I have outlined the broad construction of the Intelligent Consortium into the following content nodes:

1. Theoretical Proposal;
2. Theoretical Differentiation;
3. Formation of Consensus;
4. Expansion of approval;
5. Formation of Organization;
6. Organizational Action;

Among these nodes, nodes 1–4 are included in the first part (“Ecological Conception of Intelligenism”), while nodes 5–6 are included in the second part (“Construction of the Intelligent Consortium”). Here, I regard the entire theoretical framework of Intelligenism as an intelligent agent as well. The chapter “Construction of the Intelligent Consortium” is considered a subnetwork and neuron of the intelligent agent network within the broader theoretical framework of Intelligenism. Within this subnetwork, node 6 represents the execution phase of the corresponding intelligent agent. Referring to the concept of information generation through execution in the chapter “Organizational Settings of Intelligenism,” the information generated in the execution phase feeds back into the entire subnetwork to drive adjustments in nodes 1–4. As the construction process of the Intelligent Consortium (covered in this chapter) serves as the execution phase within the theoretical framework of Intelligenism, the information generated from the construction behavior will ultimately drive the adjustment and optimization of the Intelligenism theory through network feedback.

Completing the closed loop from “Theoretical Proposal” to “Formation of Organization” and ultimately achieving “Organizational Action” is the critical leap from theory to organizational execution in this book, and it is its most challenging goal. During the conceptualization of this chapter, I constantly lacked confidence in addressing this foreseeable challenge, which delayed the start of writing. At times, this chapter reminded me of the Chinese idiom “painting the eyes on the dragon”(the idiom is based on the setting–painting the eyes of the dragon is the last step to make the dragon alive)—whether the dragon of Intelligenism in this book can “come to life” depends on this chapter. Ultimately, by repeatedly reminding myself that the content of this chapter is merely a speculative framework based on the theory of Intelligenism, and that future readers and practitioners can refine it through continuous practical testing—or even completely rewrite it—I was able to begin writing the main text tentatively. Given my stance and definition of the content in this chapter, I urge readers to approach it with a critical perspective.
