Chapter 9. A Continuum.
After our first months within the restrictions of the shelter our lives began to evolve round a steady rhythm that for me was both comfortable and comforting. Everyone from the eldest to the youngest had been allocated a work schedule which included the expansion of the mind via education.
The allocated tasks had been carefully arranged to be within the perceived capabilities of the individuals. There was a hierarchy but one that was developed by those within each group. When a group believed that an individual’s capability and personality made him an acceptable leader he was so allocated to that thankless honour by his group. He had authority only while he was accepted by his group. This would have been worrying in our old world but in those days yes men, who were often not the best for a position, were often chosen for tasks above their capabilities as they caused less problems for those who could allocate them to such a status.
It was, for us, a priority that an allocation to a task was agreed by the person or persons to whom that task was allocated. The allocation was always without pressure or compulsion of any form. The persons to whom an allocation was made always tried to make their allocated tasks as interesting and varied as possible. This was accepted and the system was organized in this manner as to give everyone as much variation and choice in the manner of the execution of their allocated enterprises as was feasible within the limits of achieving our objectives.
This evolutionary freedom over tasks increased our success as groups discussed with one another gaining insights into the overall problems they were, as an integral of tasks, trying to achieve. From this interplay of ideas, in effect brainstorming, things developed at a pace far greater than we could have expected in the old world. Our personnel looked for no return other than respect for what they had achieved. Once a group had achieved an objective they would look for the next achievable goal along the continuation of their original objective. Failing this they would consider a different objective, within that group’s expertise, that the inmates accepted as a beneficial use of our limited personnel. Splitting a group occasionally occurred when a new development, normally based on a previously completed task, was considered sufficiently important for the reallocation of technical resources.
The school was now running well and I believed, from what I saw, that the students were, in many ways, far more fulfilled than before the impact. They developed a better appreciation of our current world with the more practical education they were receiving. They learned practical mathematics, from Greta Hodgkiss and others, much earlier and to a far higher level and standard than in the old schools. Where possible this education was by the practical demonstration of principles rather than an abstract presentation on a black board. Examples of the modern digital board were available for use but they would require energy and this could not, unless for a special presentations, be allowed.
