A gap is opening in the fabric of reality. While the majority feels the world’s speed and density as a source of anxiety, a minority perceives this same transformation as an unprecedented opportunity. The difference between the two groups is simple: one continues to play by yesterday’s rules, while the other has learned to operate within the new texture of reality.

Understanding this new texture is the fundamental competitive advantage. It is defined by three key characteristics:

• Acceleration: Ideas and their consequences no longer move at the speed of ships, but at the speed of light. The time between an innovation and its global impact has compressed into days, not decades. This means that value creation cycles are exponentially shorter and more agile.
• Densification: The signal of opportunity still exists, but it is now buried under a mountain of informational noise. The key skill is no longer the ability to accumulate more data, but to filter with surgical precision to find the pattern that matters.
• Abstraction: A large part of our lives and economy takes place in digital spaces. This implies that the ability to understand, create, and operate with purely digital business and connection models is one of the greatest levers of power in the world today.

Faced with this new scenario, two stances emerge. That of the spectator, who perceives change as a threat, becomes paralyzed by overload, and always reacts late, when the opportunity has already been capitalized on. And that of the co-creator, who sees patterns in the density, uses speed to their advantage, and understands the abstract world as a blank canvas.

The difference between them is a form of internal training. It is the development of a new kind of creativity, understood as an operational discipline. This creativity is composed of two interconnected capabilities:

First, Creative Clarity: the ability to perceive the “source code” of emerging reality, to synthesize patterns that others do not see. It is creativity in perception.

Second, Inner Disruptive Agency: the ability to act on that unique perception with low-risk, high-learning experiments. It is creativity in action.

The protocol that follows is a simple and potent weekly training designed to cultivate these two capabilities. It is a system to stop reacting to reality and start co-creating it.

Weekly Protocol: To Co-Create Reality

Objective: To shift from being a spectator who reacts late, to being an agent who perceives patterns and actively creates value.

Frequency: Dedicate 90 minutes a week, without interruption, to execute these three steps.

Step 1: CAPTURE (30 minutes)

The Training of Perception (Creative Clarity)

Action: Your job here is to be a “signal hunter.” During the week, pay attention and jot down in a single place (a notebook, a digital note) 1 to 3 “signals” that catch your eye. A signal is a piece of information that seems to hold more meaning than it appears to on the surface.

What is a “Signal”?

• A new technology or an unusual application of an existing one.
• A subtle shift in the behavior of people around you.
• A recurring problem in your industry or community for which no one has a good solution.
• An idea in a book or podcast that strongly contradicts what everyone takes for granted.
• A question that no one is asking, but that seems fundamental.

Practical Example: During the week, you notice that several friends, despite having good jobs, are starting to sell artisanal products (honey, pottery, bread) at local markets. You capture this signal: “Increase in the search for tangible activities and local community by successful professionals.”

Step 2: CONNECT (30 minutes)

The Training of Synthesis (Creative Clarity)

Action: Now, take the signals you captured. Your job is to play with connecting them, looking for an underlying pattern or idea. This is the creative phase.

Questions to Connect:

• What story do these signals tell together?
• If this trend were to continue, what would become possible that isn’t today?
• What fundamental human problem or desire does this pattern reveal?

Practical Example (continued):

• Signal 1: Professionals seeking tangible activities.
• Signal 2 (from last week): Increase in burnout in remote work.
• Signal 3 (from a book): The idea that trust is built through physical interaction.
• The Connection (The Synthesis): “People are not just tired of digital work; they are hungry for tangible reality and community trust. There is an emerging opportunity to create spaces and services that offer this physical and productive connection.”

Step 3: CREATE (30 minutes)

The Training of Action (Inner Disruptive Agency)

Action: Your final job is to translate the idea that emerged from the connection into a low-risk, high-learning experiment. It is the smallest, most concrete action you can take in the next week to begin materializing your idea. The goal is to act, not to plan.

Questions to Create the Experiment:

• What is the fastest and cheapest way to test if my idea has value?
• What can I build, write, organize, or whom can I call in the next 48 hours?
• What result will tell me if this idea is worth exploring further?

Practical Example (continued):

• The Idea: “Create an artisanal co-working space for professionals.”
• The Experiment (Asymmetric Action): “This Saturday, I’m going to host an artisanal bread-making workshop at my house for 5 of the friends I mentioned. I will charge a symbolic price to cover materials. My success metric: Is a deep conversation and a sense of renewed energy generated among the participants? Do they ask when the next one will be?”

Why Does This Protocol Generate Exponential Growth?

This weekly cycle is simple, but its effect is compounding. By repeating it, you are not just accumulating ideas; you are recalibrating your nervous system and your attention to:

• See the World Differently: You stop seeing news and start seeing patterns.
• Trust Your Own Perception: You develop the ability to generate your own ideas instead of consuming those of others.
• Build a Habit of Action: You break the paralysis of analysis by committing to small, weekly experiments, generating constant momentum.

If this protocol resonates with your own search, consider sharing it. It’s a way of inviting others into that intimate space where perception is honed and meaningful action comes alive. By practicing and extending together this way of seeing and creating, we cultivate the clarity and courage that these times invite us to embody.
