	To become a global community (that is, to become a ''voluntary'' society instead of a forceful one), there must be a foundation for such a community. To create ~~such a~~ foundation, the humans must effect a global conversation in the aims of determining exactly what that foundation can and should be.		To become a global community (that is, to become a ''voluntary'' society instead of a forceful one), there must be a peaceful foundation for such a community. To create this foundation, the humans must effect a global conversation in the aims of determining exactly what that foundation can and should be.

	Just as in the foundation of a home, the foundation of a community relies on a number of coordinated actions. There must first be a meeting to discuss the intent of the foundation. I argue that among the most important aspects of a home's foundation (aside from its planning) are strength (to uphold and maintain the structure through all of its uses), location (relation to the rest of the community, and not subject to 'sinking into the marsh', etc), and size and shape (not too big or small, and of a generally functional shape). Similarly, a global community's foundation must be strong enough to withstand all its regular uses, its potential abuses, and its potential evolutions. It must also be 'made' in a way that is accessible to the entire population, and it must have ''functional'' size and shape.

It must also be 'made' in a way that is accessible to the entire population, and it must have ''functional'' size and shape.

	A global community's foundation must exist first in the form of a document which states the agreements of the people. In law, the people essentially forfeit their sovereignty to a nation (which is expected to uphold justice), so the nation must 'be' a knowable document - or else the people cannot know to what 'justices' they apply. A nation's 'justice' (on top of basic security) includes the provision of (or, at least access to) human needs, the opportunity to increase the comforts and standards of life, and the opportunity to diversify experience.

In law, the people essentially forfeit their sovereignty to a nation (which is expected to uphold justice), so the nation must 'be' a knowable document - or else the people cannot know to what 'justices' they apply. A nation's 'justice' (on top of basic security) includes the provision of (or at least access to) one's human needs, the opportunity to increase the comforts and standards of one's life, and the opportunity to diversify one's experience. These justices cannot be equally distributed to the people unless there is peaceful cooperation, transparency, and mutual responsibility.

	In evolutionary terms (whose functions the human race is still struggling to comprehend at even the most basic levels), ''opportunity'' is perhaps the most important abstract occurrence. An organism contains trillions of chemical processes, and these processes occur because 1. there is a capacity for it to occur (''if'' this, then that), and 2. there is an opportunity to occur (this, therefore that). It is important to remember that the capacity is always there, even when the opportunity is not. In human events, there is a ''massive'' capacity. The human, with his complex thought, is capable of a much greater spectrum of actions than is any other organism. Given technological advancement, the human species has the ''capacity'' to coordinate on a global scale. The species must therefore coordinate an ''opportunity'' to act upon that capacity.

	~~The humans~~ are clearly aware of what they are capable, but they have not agreed to make the ''best'' of those capabilities. Even in the collective small actions of compassionate individuals, there has not been a globally ''concerted'' effort in the name of peace. If the Occupation wishes to unify the 99 per cent, it must create an avenue for ''national collaboration toward peace''. This would mean the creation of a forum in which to hold a national conversation. The forum itself should centralize information, but of course it should not be the only place to hold that information. The forum should rely on the thoughts, intents, and actions of all participating individuals. It should grow by way of voluntary participation, and it should seek to create an actionable document which clarifies the intent of a national community.
