Welcome to the KARTS Application
1. Overview and Content
This webpage contains information (details and conditions) about the KARTS application, complementary to "The KARTS Paradigm" book. The book, the first in the KARTS series, was written through the interplay of the KARTS Paradigm, Cowboy parables, and examples, with limited intervention by a Cat Herder and a Goat Herder, drawing on Multidisciplinary Axioms and Heuristics (Borrowed Wisdom), which are not included in the application. Please review the details and conditions on this webpage (www.kartsii.com) before using the KARTS application.
Thank you!

3. The KARTS Paradigm Application Assessment and Critique
Figure 1 shows the KARTS application status across 10 chapters in the KARTS Paradigm book. The score fluctuates, and the app does not establish validity or reliability. An overview of the book's chapters is provided, excluding chapters 9 (Deception) and 10 (Insightful Intelligence).
From Strategic Imagination to Insightful Intelligence
"There are KARTS for every issue; tame the event, or it will tame you."
The content of the KARTS application relative to the KARTS Paradigm Book content is as follows:
Knowledge: The foundation of success/failure.
Action: Turning plans into deeds.
Results: Measuring success/failure.
Time: Understanding and managing its flow.
Society: Collaborating for shared achievements.
The KARTS paradigm: This chapter ties the components together, showing how to focus on a single issue, process the attributes (KARTS Paradigm), and move forward with purpose (Thrust):
FOCUS: "There are KARTS for every issue; tame the event, or it will tame you."
KARTS Paradigm: “Knowledge and Action for Results over Time in Society.”
THRUST: "To look and see, to perceive and understand, and to decide and/or act."
Environment: Navigating stability and turbulence.
Engagement: Determining response, either periodic or real-time.
Deception: Avoiding pitfalls (not included in this app).
Insightful Intelligence: Preparing for prospects (not included in this app).
Preparation: Sharpening your tools (not included in this app).
Prospects: Expanding your potential.
"To look and see, to perceive and understand, and to decide and/or Act.”
To be Continued!
Working future Titles (might change) in the KARTS series of books are:
Strategic Democracy
Strategic Republic

From KARTS to BIKES

The KARTS application (www.kartsii.com) is complemented by a web page (you are here) that provides critiques (appreciation and/or criticism) of the KARTS paradigm. To facilitate interactions, the webpage on accessing social media, updates, and a potential AI application is available at www.kartsii.com. This is an interactive undertaking to capitalize on the book(s) and other publications, as well as processing systems such as Decision Support Systems (DSS), Expert Systems (ES), and potential Artificial Intelligence (AI). It is a mechanism to evaluate a proposition with feedback. The application is also provided for discussion and research. The following is a list of Key Points:

It is intended to illustrate some concepts from the "KARTS" book, or, conversely, to explain concepts from the "The KARTS Paradigm" book, and I hope to create a future application that contains the entire KARTS book series as a separate undertaking.
