Causense is currently in development. All interested parties may contact us using the form at the bottom of this page.
Causense is a new web based process that empowers people of all ages to quickly improve and utilize their thinking abilities and organizational skills. Groups can efficiently collaborate together to find credible solutions for pressing problems. Everyone always has a voice, but overwhelming consensus is the goal.
The Causense User Interface is an easy to use reasoning algorithm and flow chart. The symbols represent guided thinking processes that can be customized to fit varying situations. These processes empower users with the best thinking, the best ideas, and the best results with maximum consensus.
Using the interface, individuals and groups can:
- Self Organize
- Attract Participants
- Collaborate With Others
- Define Achievable Goals
- Create Credible Solutions
- Process Relevant Information
- Make Intelligent Decisions
- Complete Tasks Correctly & On Time
- Measure & Fine Tune Results
- Reach the Best Possible Conclusions
The new Semantic Web 3.0 platform can be plugged into social networks, organized causes, political campaigns, online learning sites and enterprise intranets.

More Detailed Uses for Causense Include:
Education – Easily teach, even to young children, creative and critical thinking processes, and how to apply them in school, and in life. Students of any age easily learn how to think better for themselves.
Controversial Topics – Debates are guided away from illogical arguments and disruptive, divisive behavior. Instead, Causense encourages participants to be civil, and empathetic, so they can work together, reach lasting consensus, and create the most complete and sensible lines of reasoning, which ultimately lead to the most acceptable and reasonable solutions.
Organization – A worthy cause can be created and quickly put into operation using the Causense Task Management Plugin. All tasks relevant to start up ventures are assignable and are listed and prioritized for maximum success.
News & Views – Intelligently discuss current issues, and what can or cannot be done about them.
Politics - Using the Causense Wiki Plugin, the civically minded can assist their lawmakers with writing bills and creating laws. The people can now govern directly on local, regional, national and international levels. Through a more inclusive system of Deliberative Direct Democracy, participants are empowered to deliberate issues, come to consensus, and enact credible solutions for the greater good of all.
Ecommerce- Semantic Web 3.0 designed catalog for more efficient searching and browsing. Shoppers can research product reviews from multiple websites. Well planned buying decisions reduce buyer's remorse.
Arts & Entertainment – Collaborate on creative projects or discuss critic reviews.
Sports & Recreation – Maximize enjoyment of leisure time. Develop individual training programs and team strategies.
Advanced Plugins – Causense is designed to enhance any software or network application, including Office, Web Conferencing, Ecommerce, Project Management, IT Management, CRM, Enterprise 2.0, Scientific Research, Mind Maps and other specific needs.

Platform Details
Any website can quickly embed the Causense User Interface Plugin. Causense develops deep social network integration, within any website, for increased user engagement and visitor traffic.
Any webpage, document or media player can be independently permalinked, with the Causense User interface, to create a new web page.
Permalinks index every entry posted throughout all Causense enabled web sites and web pages. Once indexed, they can be placed into the Causense Open Source Database, into a secure, private space, or used offline all together.
Permalinks are easily tracked by user, user group, title, topic, keyword, alphanumeric order or other user defined tracking system. Search results, RSS feeds and email notifications conveniently link back directly to associated permalinks.
Off site servers and Comment Moderation Management reduces the need for additional resources.
Potential
The Causense Semantic Web 3.0 Platform represents a revolutionary leap in Computer Aided Thinking. People are able to think better both individually and with others.
Wisdom Media Wikis will eventually become so ubiquitous and necessary for everyday use, that the underlying processes will be incorporated, embedded or linked into almost all networks, websites, webpages and software programs.
