* Collect, research and disseminate information on international bodies, both governmental and non-governmental, their interrelationships, their meetings, and problems and strategies they are dealing with
* Experiment with more meaningful and action-oriented ways of presenting such information to enable these initiatives to develop and counterbalance each other creatively, and as a catalyst for the emergence of new forms of associative activity and transnational co-operation
* Promote research on the legal, administrative and other problems common to these international associations, especially in their contacts with governmental bodies
Calresco

Our meta-philosophical position is that a continuum of connectivity exists, which allows us to treat all conventional specialisms as just 'special case' mini-worldviews within a more general and universal model. This multi-level, multi-dimensional perspective can apply to all aspects of our universe, taking into account not only science, but arts, humanities and spirit also - in other words, "Life, the Universe and Everything". This document positions our philosophy and details the flexibility this approach offers for the treatment of complex situations involving highly unconstrained self-organizing systems.
