SuperStar Foundation Statement

The value of SuperStar Avatar as a ‘Cultural Transformation Engine’ is founded on three essential elements-

1. The SA platform* is based on the universal components of narrative structure.
SA utilizes the basic components of narrative to enable users to ‘script’ truly social experiences for themselves in ways that no ‘online’ social networking tool can allow.
The use of narrative components allows SA to integrate directly into people’s lives rather than act as a social networking tool ‘supplement’.
SA uses these basic narrative components as the ‘standards of representation’ ( a sort of unifying ‘common ground) that support all social interaction and exchange within the SA network.
(* The SA platform can also be referred to as ‘social operating system’ or ‘lifestyle utility’ )

2. Puts the user front and center; the SA tools functionally position the user as the ‘author’ of his or her own social resources, networks, and experiences.
The functional aspects of Superstar Avatars’ profiling, networking and experience scripting tools enable the user to operate at the center of his or her own experience in both design and principle.
By design, SA’s standards act as a common language, which connects and empowers individuals and communities.
On the individual level, use of these standards helps users to identify and represent their value (tangible and intangible resources.)
On the collective level, these standards enable users to engage this value in social exchange, as well as assess it in relationship to their networks. This allows for more empowered, lasting and meaningful experiences.
Collaboration between individuals and communities, as well as customization and open interpretation, occurs on deeper and deeper levels as these standards of exchange continue to be adopted into the fabric of existing social architectures.

3. SuperStar Avatar provides access to successful social dynamic models, solutions and principles.
SA presents simple yet powerful models of collective governance, trust mechanisms and distributed accountability cultivated from years of ground work studying, isolating and comparing the dynamics of successful social models currently in use by many diverse communities.
Users are saved much time and effort in scripting and executing their own experiences through use of these proven social dynamics.
With respect to fostering sustainable social behavior, SA acts as a sort of ‘Trojan Horse’
by introducing the principles of effective social models such as respect, distributed accountability and mutual support as mere components of a bigger picture: creating rewarding, meaningful experiences.

As a ‘cultural transformation engine’:
SA enables a sustainable transition from a society primarily based on the consumption of myths and stories to one that self-generates and inhabits new ones.
· SA presents a New Myth for our times that facilitates direct experience of personal and collective rejuvenation, abundance and value and rewards these pursuits as tangibly rewarding, highly sustainable and mutually supportive...
· SuperStar Avatar, as a New Cultural Paradigm (Myth), is designed to enable a true experience economy.
