Notion of Reality Management

Are you a fan of Richard Wagner? Do you have a thing for lost causes? Can you spend an eternity working on a crazy scheme? I can!

"It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. We could rewrite reality. We could rewrite ourselves."

What started as disjointed experiments have created unforgettable experiences which merged into a platform people can use to turn themselves into playthings. While it isn't intended to diminish the human experience, it can easily do that too. Perhaps, without the constant struggle between good and evil, life is boring. That we are not meant for a more relaxed existence.

We call this platform, NoRM, "Notion of Reality Management", because it is precisely that.

NoRM is a 7-in-1:

1. School's Out is a school alternate. No, not an alternative school. A community which resembles a school, but puts the human condition at the center of everything. It isn't there to turn you into some government's wet dream of an idealized citizen. It rejects all schools. It's the complete opposite of what we perceive as a school today.

2. Apps for Troublemakers are cross platform mobile apps which can be used to conduct social experiments. So, if one wants to expose a hidden issue, reveal its reasons or just shake up people, these apps are ideal. They are tiny. They are meant to be disposable. They are meant to teach how one can conceive, develop and deploy mobile apps easily.

3. Maddening Moves are closely tied to the apps for troublemakers concept. The difference is here we deal with more than one app. Apps for troublemakers are linkable with each other within the borders of associated paradigms. For example, the first apps for troublemakers follow the concept of "Emotional Agility", the metric which determines a community's (or a company's) capability to create happiness over unhappiness. Since apps for troublemakers always come in threes, the apps for this paradigm are "Moody" (feelings, reasons), "Verdict" (issues, clues) and "Notung" (ideas, solutions). It doesn't end here, on the other hand. While these apps are interlinked, they still need another type of app that will tie all the dots to each other. We call that type of app a "consolidator". In this example the consolidator is "Emotional Agility DASH", a one-page app. It does only one thing. It ties feelings, reasons, issues, clues, ideas and solutions together to create a single sentence. A disturbing sentence that makes the ugly truth unavoidable.

4. Uili is like the commercial version of School's Out. It gives professionals who cannot quit their day jobs to pursue their passions a way out. They can become part-time entrepreneurs and with our help, create product concepts, develop apps and conduct pilots in a variety of ecosystems at a comfortable pace without any risks.

5. Brave New Worlds are stories powered by apps. They are meant to help you explore possible futures.

6. Reality Check is a breeding ground for simulations of bad experiences. They are meant to raise awareness by helping people get to know one another better.

7. Something from Nothing is all about alternate realities. The first product was Miki himself! Our company and all our projects are modeled after him. 😊 Yes, this super app came before everything. After it was accepted to the Startup School of Y Combinator, having proved our point, we raised the bar higher. Now, there is also a book! Soon there will be a film! 😘 A new version of the app and the book is in progress where Miki and NoRM will create a more cohesive platform. Until then, why don't you have a look at the first version of the app and the book? You can find them on the "Experiment" page.

Did we tell you? Everything except Uili is free! They will always remain free. Also, we are here for you. So, if you have a wild idea and having a hard time getting it off the ground, drop us a line or two. Who knows, maybe we will be able to help you. If we really like the idea, we can even work together! 😘
