Communication Levels

Part of our communication strategy is to communicate on different levels depending on the understanding of the audience. These are level 0, ground level, is Mainstream Communication. This is as crude as it gets: centralization and warfare are norms. This means sports, sex, and mainstream news. Second is Progressive Communication - the level still stuck on many of the centralized infrastructures, though questioning those very infrastructures. NPR may be an example. Third is Radical Communication - the level where serious critique is provided regarding society's infrastructures. This may be Amy Goodman, King, or Gandhi. Fourth is Transcendent Communication, referring to various profound breakthroughs in human consciousness and practice, such as perhaps Phil Rutter, Joel Salatin, or Allan Savory. Fifth is Free Communication, where one is not bound by societal constructs. Sixth is anything beyond.

Each of these should be defined specifically. This includes identifying the sociologically-known Mental Model that this segmend lives by, and the resulting Index of Possibilities for that segment of the population recognizes. This should include specifics of limits that this segment respects. Further, OSE should specify aspects of OSE work that occur at that level of communication. This means listing the things that this group understands, and how this information fits within this group's mental model.
