Intelligence engineering is NET's legacy- Space, AI, Humanoids exponential livelihood change of e-mcsquared - its shocking how little their intelligence system principles are transparently valued especially in rich western nations, how little they are openly mapped to integrate global scale & deepest community -actioned locally by education ; how badly media has been engineered to obscure common sense of childrens' & teachers' & parenting's intelligence development
. Note too how late 20th C media has designed overnight world champions on entertainments like sports and pop music but not on educators or intelligence children need to practice most.
1 Intelligence era need holistic system transformation redefine education and action learning - teachers, parents and students aim to improve each others brains and confidence - end systems where teachers examine students to fail more and more of the through the grades/ All three of the net's parents deeply respected theit child's self-confidence which is notably integral to maths as well as translating disciplines foundational /system assumptions (siloisation of expertise may have been convenient for academics as they aged but is disastrous in our era of unprecedented change). Moreover if youth minds are tested only on competition every aspect of communal collaboration gets lost - which is particularly disadvantageous to cultural depth as the main quality humans (natives of planet earth evolutionary intangibles) can always recursively value smarter than humanoids on)
2 The NET knew that their gifts would test next generations (eg before and after Orwell's halfway mark og 1984) with unprecedented exponential change -in fact their belief in eg neural net algorithms predicted likelihood of designing machines with billion times more maths brainpower than separate human minds and the 3 million fold exponentials:
chips capacity purpose
computation design purpose
satellite purpose
3 Its important to acknowledge views of NET on
intelligence engineering will need more and more energy- therefore stop making mathematicians and energy engineers nations most hated and wanted 0of people; unlock natures abundant energy; in fact all of the net's work was rooted in transformations needed to humans mathematical understanding of earth science (biotech , pjysics ai, material sciences, vritocal minerals meterology and climate models, disaster prevention alerts ahead of time - nee nvidia and taiwan earth2.0 data mapping...) emanating from einsteins 1905 paper e=mcsquared; sadly the uncivilised state of the world of teh early 20th centiry meant all of the net were tied up in race to win atom bomb for allies; dozens of other openings from eisnteins 1905 tranformation got lost from the net until neumann met turing; computing and coiding became the work neumann wanted to devote his lifetime to as soon as world war 2 was over; sadly he got less than 12 years much cncer ridden to open up futures of computing but he did make tehse things clear
4 design above zero sum trading games - indeed ensure that's a priority in exploring opportunities og natiures abundance and threats of man scaling system competing with natures planet deep scale
4a end wars- indeed define wars as an integenerational disaster - ie spilling youth blook becaus eof failiyres or change inabailities og elder generations
4b end public servants official secrets-ok another disster of war is that may temporarily be neecessary- there is no other time that serving peoples meanse keepind secrets
5 neumann was also agiant strong patenting - he reasoned once connected by networks 6 months lead should be emnough foir anyone advancing puiblic good to chhoose partners
6 neumann would have seen the purpose if space as primarily satellites death of cost oif distance in designing data clouds integrating most urgent deiversley local soliution ; this would have been part of desiging win-win treade games; he would have argued for win-win within an nation and win-win south to north as well as east-west - indeed its arguable that both world wars were caused by landlocked central and north europe becoming better enginners than though coastal and empire nations (result war over engineers need to access more iron and coal as well as trading routes)
7 The NET expected their legacy to be applied to urgent reconciliations with history's worst colonial behaviors- slave trades, destruction of natives and cultureal diversity ...the stanfe geohraphy og how east west increasing cut off south north; ist also telling that all world main finacial capitals are north of tropics; the tropics were region where infant and maternal diseases were maximised. Indeed Einstein had deveoted lot pof 20s to geneva's league of nations tryong to establish coopertaive i9ntelligence as well as itu being open standards setter of both electricity and telecoms. It is to be hpoped that Geneva fully addrttesses this when it becomes 5th relay host of oai world series launched with King Charles support london nov 2023>Korea>Paris>Delhi (19 Feb 2026)
i belevee neumann would have celebrated how japan and then much oif asia ( accelerating tjhroughKorea S Taiwan HK Singapore ) peacefully rose by desinging transportation supercities and would have seen last mile humanoid design as a tool that world class cities could indeed leverage for safe transportation , repetitive health services like terminal illnesses; increasingly mobilising vital diagnostics and helping in the overall purpose of intelligence ending most chronic and infectious diseases
Its l.ikely that v neumann would not have seen population growth from 2 billion to 8 billion to be beyond earth';s capacity but everyone needed the UN to be authoritaive in modelling how bpodrers compound externalisation risks unless open geonomic undetsanding is mediated - surely a number 1 intelligence purpose of building internet.
neumann saw human languages as culturally rich but scientifically vague - he sought naths to intehrate what hundereds of separate languages could not-
all of above suggest intelligence needed to get maths pattern recognition of natiures systems, space and humanoids purposes optimal ; that no need to rush llm modelling ceterainly not untile every teacher role was supporting braimn development not examining it
overall the net maximised princeton and cambridge hubs of transnational immigrant minds; indeed almost all the core maths needed for intelligence had come from the old wor;ld; ameic still isnt in top 30 of teraching high svchool maths
the net would not have supported quarterly progit taking as be all and end all of national success -in fat if a nations largest organsiations only py=urpose is maximising extraction of money from all stakeholders to benefit a few big owners- that is the least syustainable governace maths possible- the net would not have given professions like law insuranace accounting taxation teh short term numbers monoploies that they have turned the branch of paper monetisation economics into- they would likiely havve supported blockchain and bitcoin as UN's 21st c curreny particularly with 2007'-8 d worldwide collapse of paper currency p;oliticing at US and EU. Note how this coindided with what could have been transformational open leap of 3g-4G mobilisation of inteligence clouds.

WHAT's DATA SOVEREIGNTY & WHAT CAN INTELLIGENCE DO? Today engineers can help peoples of any place be comparatively best at what their place on earth offers to generate. For example beautiful island might wam to be a toursist destination but overtime it (eg Galapagos) might want to develop intergenerational friendships so its teenagers can connect goodwill around the world as well as any skills eg medical or green energy the island most urgently need. Generations ago, Singapore did something different; its 6 million person poluation saw itself as at the cross-seas of world's first superport. It also gave back to region asean encouraging celebration of every peoples cultures and arts. It has aimed to be the 21st C most intelligent isle- where education is transformed by every 2nd grade teacher being as curious about what will ai do over the next 5 years as anyone else. Taiwan, addmitedly a 20 million person island, chose 1987 to become world number 1 as chip design changed to maximise customer requirements instead of the moores law era where at most one new chip a year would be designed in line with Intel's 3 decades of promising 100 times more capacity every decade.
In 2025, the vibrant aAInations index is one way of looking at where is place being led to maximise its peoples intelligence opportunities for evryone to win-win (network entreprenurially)

2025report.com aims to celebrate first 75 years that followers of Adam Smith , Commonwealth begun by Queen Victoria, James Wilson and dozens of Royal Societies, Keynes saw from being briefed 1951 by NET (Neumann Einstein Turing). Please contacts us if you have a positive contribution - we will log these at www.economistdiary.com/1976 www.economistdiary.com/2001 and www.economistdiary.com/2023 (admittedly a preview!!)
First a summary of what the NET asked to be meidiated to integrate trust during what they foresaw as a chaotic period.
Roughly they foresaw population growth quadrupling from 2 billion to 8 billion
They were most concerned that some people would access million times moore tech by 1995 another million times moore by 2015 another million times moore by 2025. Would those with such access unite good for all. If we go back to 1760s first decade that scots invented engines around Glash=gow University James Wat and diarist Adam Smith we can note this happened just over a quarter of millennium into age of empire. WE welcome corrections be this age appears to have been a hectic race between Portugal, Spain, France Britain Netherlands as probbly the first 5 to set the system pattern. I still dont understand was it ineviatble when say the Porttuguese king bet his nations shirt on navigation that this would involve agressive trades with guns forcing the terms of trade and colonisation often being a 2nd step and then a 3rd steb being taking slaves to do the work of building on a newly conquered land. I put this way because the NET were clear almost every place in 1951 needed to complete both independence and then interdependence of above zero sum trading games. Whils traidning things runs into zero sums (eg when there is overall scarcity) life critical knowhow or apps can multiplu=y value in use. Thats was a defining value in meidting how the neyt's new engineering was mapped. Of course this problem was from 1945 occuring in a world where war had typiclly done of the following to your place:
your capital cities had been flattened by bombing - necessitating architecture rebuild as well as perhaps an all chnage in land ownership
your peoples had gone through up to 6 years of barbaric occupation -how would this be mediated (public served) particularly if you were a nation moving from radio to television
yiu mifgt eb britain have been on winning side but if huge debt to arms you had bought
primarily you might be usa now expected by most outside USSR to lead every advance'
in population terms you might be inland rural (more than half of humans) where you had much the least knowledge on what had hapened because you had been left out of the era of connecting electricity and communications grids
The NETts overall summary : beware experts in energy will be the most hated but wanted by national leaders; and then far greater will be exponential risk is the most brilliant of connectors of our new engines will become even more hated and wanted. We should remember that the NET did not begin with lets design computers. They began with Einstein's 1905 publications; newtonian science is at the deepest limits systemically wrong for living with nature's rules.
WE can thrash through more understanding of how the NET mapped the challenges from 1951 at https://neumann.ning.com/ Unfortunatnely nobody knew that within 6 years of going massively public in 1951 with their new engineering visions, all of the net would be dead. One of the most amzaing documents I have ever seen is the last month's diary of von neumann roughly October 1955 before he became bedridden with cancer. All over usa engineering projects were receiving his last genius inputs. And yet more amazing for those interested in intelligence machines is his last curriculum the computer and the brain scribbled from his bedroom in bethesda and presented posthumously by his 2nd wife Klara at Yale 1957 before she took her own life about a year later. A great loss because while neumann had architected computers she had arguably been the chief coder. Just to be clear Turing also left behind a chief coder Jane who continued to work for Britain's defence planning at cheltenham for a couple of decades. Economistwomen.com I like to believe that the founders of brainworking machines foresaw not only that women coders would be as produytive as men but that they would linking sustainability from bottom up of every community. At least that is a valid way of looking at how primarily 1billion asian women batted the systemic poverty of being disconnected from the outside world even as coastal places leapt ahead with in some cases (G Silicon Valley, whatever you call Japan-Korea south-Taiwan-HK-Singapore access to all of 10**18 times moore

WE APPROACH 65th year of Neumann's tech legacy - 100 times more tech decade - which some people call Industrial Rev 4 or Arttificial Intel blending with humans; co-author 2025report.com, networker foundation of The Economist's Norman Macrae -
my father The Economist's norman macrae was privileged to meet von neumann- his legacy of 100 times more tech per decade informed much of dad's dialogues with world leaders at The Economist - in active retirement dad's first project to be von neumanns official biographer - english edition ; recently published japanese edition - queries welcomed; in 1984 i co-authored 2025report.com - this was celebrating 12 th year that dad( from 1972, also year silicon valley was born) argued for entrepreneurial revolution (ie humanity to be sustainable would need to value on sme networks not big corporate nor big gov); final edition of 2025report is being updated - 1984's timelines foresaw need to prep for fall of brlin wall within a few months; purspoes of the 5 primary sdg markets were seen to be pivotal as they blended real and digital - ie efinance e-agri e-health e-learning and 100%lives matter community; the report charged public broadcasters starting with BBC with most vital challenge- by year 2000 ensure billions of people were debating man's biggest risk as discrepancy in incomes and expectations of rich & poor nations; mediated at the right time everyone could linkin ideas as first main use of digital webs--- the failure to do this has led to fake media, failures to encourage younger half of the world to maxinise borderless friendships and sdg collabs - see eg economistwomen.com abedmooc.com teachforsdgs.com ecop26.com as 2020s becomes last chance for youth to be teh sustainability generation
