 By visualizing we mean "making apparent", not just through visual means, but able to be perceived through one or multiple senses. By visualizing we mean "making apparent", not just through visual means, but able to be perceived through one or multiple senses.

 We don’t know what is the relationship between belief and visibility and what is it’s link to morality. As such, we don’t know how it can impact the world, what it’s potential outcomes are an what problems might emerge from it. We are not sure which methods and processes are most effective. We don’t know how wide the scope is of visualizing the invisible, and what are its’ boundaries. Finally, we are unsure about the relationship between visualizing and creating a world. We don’t know what is the relationship between belief and visibility and what is it’s link to morality.

   * [[Franco]]: Radical openness and unsustainable homogenization. Everything is visualized and shared, but unseen due to massive 'filter failure'. There is an illusion of choice, when in effect everything is the same. Economic profit and cost efficiency are shared and visualized. Every individual is so visible that they become invisible and the value of their achievements are ignored. Excess, resource depletion, greed and jealousy are kept invisible.    * [[Franco]]: Radical openness and unsustainable homogenization.

   * [[geriopolis]]: Closed system totalitarianism and unsustainable homogenization. False resilience of this society is abundantly visualized. What remains invisible is its inherent fragility and unsustainability. Also, the individuals are invisible and any dissent is impossible to comprehend.   * [[geriopolis]]: Closed system totalitarianism and unsustainable homogenization.

   * [[hal2020]]: Closed system totalitarianism and sustainable biodiversity. Government's efforts to create sustainable, biodiverse biotopes is visualized and made as apparent as possible. What remains invisible is the regime's interdependency with the environment and society, as well as non-scientific creativity and problematic (intentional) mutation.   * [[hal2020]]: Closed system totalitarianism and sustainable biodiversity.
