Trained researchers used this method for Germany and the United States under my supervision. UC has also trained Claude, through detailed instructions, to carry out this method.
1. Identify
We identify societal domains where behavior can be observed—from childhood and education through professional life, and more. The domains are representative of the culture and rich in evidence.
2. Gather
We gather the evidence from these domains, remove what is irrelevant, and organize the remainder for analysis. For each domain, we consider its historical formation—how it developed and why it operates as it does today.
3. Analyze
We identify patterns that appear across multiple domains. A pattern must appear in a majority of those domains in order to qualify as fundamental. We search for patterns in how a culture thinks, therefore in how it works.
4. Describe
We describe the validated patterns in clear, precise natural language, optimized for AI-powered semantic search. The descriptions enable large language models to produce practical guidance, not academic abstractions.
5. Refine
As revenue allows, we will review and refine our analysis on an ongoing basis. The goal is the constant pursuit of accuracy, of the truth.
