Belief Genome Aims to Map all Human Beliefs With Help of Kickstarter

Belief Genome Launching Open Source Web App to Map All Human Beliefs and Their Connections

Boise, ID (PRWEB) November 01, 2012

The Open Source Religion Network is introducing Belief Genome, a free online app for people to list, track, identify, discover and analyze beliefs, and belief interrelationships by using the Belief Genome map, and Belief Analytics.

Belief Genome is a scientific endeavor which gives users a platform for self-discovery, research, and an idea of their "place in the universe" of beliefs. Members are able to compare their beliefs to friends, family, lovers, colleagues or organizations and the world at large.

Like other scientific platforms that utilize citizen scientists, Belief Genome hopes to fill in the global network of human beliefs by mutually exploring and discovering them with the help of enthusiasts across the world.

Sidian Morning Star Jones, founder of TOSRN and Belief Genome, notes, Beliefs are the often hidden yet underlying subtext for all human decisions, actions and behavior. Our intent is to provide a platform for both personal discovery and anthropological research so that as individuals we can be better informed and make more conscious and intentional decisions for ourselves as well as for our communities, and our collective world.

Sidian adds, Anything that can be identified as a belief can be measured, inter-related, and mapped both socially and geographically.

For example,

Sidian adds, Belief Genome can be viewed as an intersection between technology and spirituality as it uses contemporary tools to track and gain insight about our deeper ideas of life and the universe, but it is also a platform for scientific understanding of sociological, psychological, and theological data. We really want to know and understand what makes us as human beings do what we do. Some explore outer space; we explore inner space.

Belief Genome is using Kickstarter, the preeminent crowd-funding platform as a tool to help fund our online technology platform, and develop new features and functionality such as real-time physics, viewing modes, and APIs.
