Supernumerary Intelligence

Much of our life is consumed looking for quantitative relationships. For example How much more sleep doI need at night to make me feel better? How many calories do I need to eliminate to lose weight? How muchlarger does my budget on the job need to be for me to be more effective? All these quantitative questions arepreceded and depend on qualitative questions. For example before I decide how much extra sleep I need atnight I need to determine if extra sleep will actually make me feel better. In another example I need todetermine if a larger budget will make me more effective on the job before I think about how much moremoney I will need. What elements influence job performance and how do they interact? We spend much ofour life trying to find answers to such quantitative and qualitative questions. We are then in search of a kindof intelligence that includes numbers but is also above and beyond them. We call it supernumeraryintelligence (SI).To aid our quest for SI we use Quantitative CyberQuest (QCQ) and the Public Administration GenomeProject (PAGP) as useful tools. QCQ is a philosophy as well as an analytic tool that helps in exploring the supernumerary. QCQ is particularly wellsuitedfor sorting out variables as well as their interrelations. It involves a combination of statistics systems analysis research methodologyqualitative research and artificial intelligence. QCQ also provides a relatively easy to understand but still powerful set of tools and guidancemechanisms to pilot (the Cyber part) users in their Quest for supernumerary relationships
