From the smallest organism to the largest organization, deciding well is a matter of removing ever more (wasted) non-knowledge resources from the process of deciding well. This book provides a program for living well based on this simple insight into the business of life. Beneath this program is the science of forms (mathematics). Beneath this is a form of reason that includes the beauty that emerges from removing non-knowledge resources from the process of deciding well. This reason is the natural synthesis of the dialectics of Plato and the logic of Aristotle. It is also the reason of an incomplete synthesis of decision science, game theory, information theory, and fractal geometry that helps us find as well as solve problems in living well. Arguably, it is what John von Neumann sought in his incomplete study of the mathematics of reason, which Yale published after his death as The Computer and the Brain.
Note that this is the abridged version of Boundless Reason, A Universal Strategy for Deciding Well. It does not contain the second through seventh chapters and the second appendix of the full book.
