Goal
A shared Future Picture expressed in plain language.
A research commons for complex societal problems
GOSR (Goal ← Obstacles ← Solutions ← Resources) is a simple structure for seeing the whole system. gosr.ai curates open methods, datasets, and writing so communities, researchers, and builders can reason together without central control.
The four parts
Obstacles
Articulate what stands in the way; decompose blockers into tractable sub-parts.
Solutions
Identify potential solutions for each obstacle, broadening the option space without prioritizing.
Resources
Map existing programs and initiatives, leaving space for new, adapted, and emergent ones that can amplify impact.
