Canonizer algrorithm:
This is a wiki system with added camp and survey capabilities. To get started, just scroll down and find a topic you are passionate about. Select the camp you agree with, go to the camp page, and join the camp (like checking a box on a survey or signing a petition which you can change at any time). If what you believe isn't yet there, start a new camp so others that agree with you can join and help further develop and promote it. For a more complete description of the Canonizer see the "What is the Canonizer" link in the Navigation section of the side bar. For more information on how to canonize your point of view (POV) see the help link. For information on the camp structure, its purpose, and where to place your camp within the camp structure see this camp.
Tired of fighting edit wars on Wikis? Want to know concisely and quantitatively how many people believe or value what? Have you ever been dissatisfied with the choices on a particular belief survey? Tired of trying to digest thousands of testimonials or comments to get an idea of what a trusted majority of people think? Don't want to waste your time adding the one thousand and first testimonial or comment no one will ever get to? Our goal is to make huge steps forward in all these directions.
To find out what someone's beliefs and values are, click on their ID to get to their personal canonized values page. These personal pages have a list of all supported camps. When you meet a new person, you can simply and easily share all your canonized values - comparing and contrasting them. Using the 'as of' box on the side bar, you can find what people's canonized values were at any time in the past. A powerful way to easily testify of what you believe in and hope for, in a collaborative way with all who share you beliefs.
Lots of people figure there is a 'scientific consensus' that man is causing global warming. Yet Wikipedia articles like this one make one wonder just how much consensus there really is. Most people assume that within the study of the mind, nobody agrees on much of anything. The almost 20,000 and growing publications in Chalmers' MindPapers Bibliography surely has something to do with this. But has anyone ever attempted to measure how much agreement there is in any of all that? The consciousness survey project has as its proof of concept goal to see just how much consensus there is in these 20,000 publications. Already there is a shocking amount of expert consensus for the recently named by the experts Representational Qualia Theory. As a growing number of leading experts 'canonize' their views on this theoretical field of science this theory continues to extend its expert consensus lead. A clear scientific consensus would definitively indicate we are on the verge of what could become the greatest scientific revolution of all time.
Do you have a grass roots effort trying to collect signatures on a petition? Would an online version, with a way to sign camps in a reputable way help? Do you want your effort to go viral? Your petition in a canonized camp statement is a very easy and free way to do all this. And of course, unlike traditional petitions, which can't change once the first person has signed, statements here continueally grow, progress, and adapt to the times. Anyone can propose new changes and any camp member can object to any changes - preventing them from going live.
Do you have thousands of useless comments for feedback on your web pages from the masses about products, beliefs, or anything? Would you like to get all the similar ones grouped, concisely stated, quantitatively measured, or canonized on your web pages for free? You can now create a topic in the canonizer for such, and then add a simple block of HTML to your web page to show the information on your page as is done here: http://home.comcast.net/~brent.allsop.
Do you live in Nigeria, yet want to do business online? Do you have a professional service or product that is, in your POV, the best? Do you have lots of happy customers willing to prove it? Is everybody ignoring your collection of testimonials? Then you can get such canonized. Nobody puts much creed in a collection of testimonials, but a canonized reputation is very reputable since it is an open system where both pro and con customers can contribute. For an example, see this topic on who is the best family dentist.
canonizer.com is being developed by a grass roots group of volunteers. We all communicate on this Canonizers Yahoo Group. Of course everyone is invited to join, especially if the Canonizer isn't yet what you'd like it to be. For more info see this topic.
