Exploring Meta Concepts for High-Level Thinking and Structured Frameworks

Here's a brief overview of each concept within the context of high-level thinking and structured frameworks like the Core Alignment Model (CAM): Meta Programming: Meta programming involves creating “programs” or structures that define and shape other programs or ways of thinking. It operates at a high level, setting the foundational “rules” or structures that guide...

Understanding and Applying the Core Alignment Model (CAM)

The Core Alignment Model (CAM) is a unique meta programming model that acts as a structured framework for intentional thinking, decision-making, and purposeful action. CAM operates at a high cognitive level, guiding users to align their internal purpose (Mission) with their external actions (Tactics) through a sequence of interdependent layers. Here’s how CAM fits into and utilizes the meta...
