## Two Weeks
proof-of-concept live
backend generates hexagons + word sequences
auto-generates text summaries for levels 0–2
pulls and collates fine-grained, per-hex data from open and research sources
aggregates multiple data types (satellite, wellbeing, population, environment)
frontend map operational
polished minimal interface with zoom and click-to-view stats
each hex shows its own data summary and word label
data + repo public
full documentation and schema
open GitHub repository seeded for contributors
initial pattern established
structure matches long-term design → later layers and institutional features plug straight in
## Factored Into Other Peaceful Campaigns
anywhere there is location
all projects use hex-word addresses instead of city names or pins
every action, post, or record linked to its hex-word
enables cross-project overlays and shared map features
hex-word link is persistent and visible across apps
QuitEasily
shows where community actions and meetups occur
tracks local recovery participation and outreach per hex-word
anchors social media posts and volunteer logs to specific hexes
Reasonable.Diet
maps foods, ingredients, and meal examples applicable to each region
calculates regional pricing and affordability estimates
connects users to nearby suppliers, growers, and co-ops
helps discover realistic, low-cost meal options for their area
Calm.College
hex-word confirms campus or neighbourhood
provides wellbeing and participation statistics for the local community
mood check-ins and meetups folded into each hex layer
allows universities to visualise engagement across campuses
LearnStuff.Today
shows local learning and volunteering opportunities
maps organisations that teach or mentor within each hex
functions as a shared directory rather than a partner network
highlights skill-sharing hubs, workshops, and community spaces
Peaceful.Foundation
aggregates all location-based actions and contributions
tracks which regions have active campaigns or partner institutions
task assignments and outreach efforts linked to regional hexes
Peaceful.Network / Toilet.Network
social posts, projects, and comments anchored to hex-word locations
shows clusters of community activity and shared public art
forms the public-facing layer of the hex map ecosystem
ecosystem effect
each project contributes distinct, location-specific signals
all visible on a single, shared map — local action visible globally
## Customising the Map
volunteers adopt hexagons
early “land rush” as people name and seed their own hexes
creates emotional connection and a sense of place
hex-word addresses start appearing in social posts and bios
playful competition between regions to fill their hexes with data
local dictionaries
volunteers adapt word sets to local languages and dialects
ensures cultural familiarity while keeping global consistency
enables multilingual participation without losing coherence
naming countdown
dictionaries gradually frozen as accuracy improves
word sequences locked in to maintain long-term stability
ownership shifts from playful naming to trusted reference use
map becomes useful
users begin sharing links to their own hex-word locations
Peaceful Foundation projects reference hex-words in updates
everyday shorthand
hex-word names appear in posters, memes, and stories
tounge in cheek shift in some cases from “in Sydney” to “in kangaroo.harbour.mist”
hexagons.world becomes a shared mental map of local life
## A Place to Rally Around
the map becomes a meeting point
anyone can make their local world better
university students, neighbourhood groups, and individuals take part
actions visible on the map → progress seen in real time
each hex becomes a rallying point for small improvements
safety and trust
participants use their peaceful passports or project IDs, not personal accounts
all contributions visible but privacy preserved
local autonomy
every hex experiments in its own way
no central plan — patterns emerge from many local actions
surveys and feedback
local questionnaires track wellbeing and participation
results folded into the same hex view
shows that collective effort changes local numbers
momentum builds
the open map now holds enough data to be practically useful
people begin using it as a tool, not just a symbol
## Useful for People and Organisations
$1 subscription
enables OpenStreetMap integration and live map tiles
supports public hosting, moderation, and verification costs
keeps the map open while sustaining basic infrastructure
peer competition and collaboration
one hex improves → neighbours follow
local progress becomes visible and contagious
individuals
explore their own hex to see local wellbeing and activity
contribute corrections or small open datasets
volunteers
curate local entries, translate words, and verify stats
community groups
use shared hex-words to plan and document local projects
active citizens
compare regions, publish local updates, and link their work to Peaceful campaigns
organisations
begin embedding and referencing hexagons in their materials
add verifiable public data directly to the map
share information about programmes or local directories
connect Peaceful Foundation initiatives to local contexts
student clubs
map community events, wellbeing drives, and on-campus projects
NGOs
contribute or verify open data within their areas of work
link local initiatives or contact points to relevant hexes
Universities
use hexagons for lightweight research
Media
perhaps include static or embedded maps in stories and coverage
Institutions
begin referencing hexagons in public materials and internal planning
## Creating Institutional Tools
adoption spreads
policymakers, journalists, and researchers use hexagons as reference
institutional assists
councils, NGOs, and universities add verified data to the map
secure API access allows integration with their own systems
trusted channels record source and timestamp
“What if?” tools appear
enable local simulations → “what if food security improves by 10%?”
results shown directly on the map
used for reports, grants, and planning
paid dashboards
flat subscription → export tools, comparisons, and trends
keeps hosting sustainable without limiting open access
ethics and transparency
only aggregated hex-level data collected
all tools and code remain open-source
results feed back into Peaceful Foundation projects
local experiments become shared reference points worldwide
## Measurably Better
progress becomes visible
local wellbeing, food security, and connection indicators improve
results accumulate across campaigns using the same hex system
cause and effect
people see the link between small actions and wider outcomes
success stories ripple outward as examples to follow
trust builds
data, stories, and lived experience align
more local communities in different places
the map quietly proves that cooperation works across regions
## Good
life feels calmer and more connected
people trust their neighbours and local systems again
helping out becomes normal, not remarkable
the map fades into the background
it’s simply how communities see themselves
a quiet record of a world that works a little better
