ABOUT
Useful science fiction is not defined by predictive accuracy, but by its capacity to surface the virtual: It gives form to pressures that haven’t yet actualized, allowing us to engage with problems before they become crises.
CAPITAL RE-LEX is an application of this principle to professional forecasting. The goals here are threefold:
Symbolic Resolution as Testbed
Develop a low-risk domain to simulate structural responses to virtual problems. Examine hypothetical configurations without material consequence.
Premature Sensemaking
Find utility in producing coherent responses to incoherent signals. Give language, shape, and urgency to realities still in formation, before institutions can recognize them as real.
Virtual Literacy
Cultivate the capacity to read and navigate potentialities as seriously as actualities. Train organizational perception to detect and respond to emergent patterns in their larval state, when intervention is still possible.
