…a gathering harvesting emerging solutions and breakthroughs.

Overall plans and solutions that are more ore resilient than consensus based techniques bring out the best in both the participants and the solution.
Forces:
- open space uses consensus, and dissent is often not allowed (taboo even).
- Rituals take out the personal aspects because everybody has to go through the same process; therefore, people like rituals.
- In control tests ritual dissent increases weak signal detection by more than 60% over consensus-based methods. As such, it facilitates weak signals, big action.
Therefore:
Ritualize dissent (challenge) and assent (positive alternatives) to scrutinize and enhance proposals, stories, ideas, or whatever. Use consent to make a decision.
