# Hypotheses generated by world assertions and quantum leap assertions 1. [[Quantum leaps happen more often when people are enabled and encouraged to go outside the boundaries of current disciplines]]. 2. Quantum leaps are often old ideas with constraints that someone figures out how to relax (Leonardo Ideas.) 3. Connecting previously unconnected ideas increases the likelihood of quantum leaps (Quantum leaps live in the adjacent possible.) 4. It may be possible to systematically encode the constraints on current technologies in a way that makes it easier to discover complementary knowledge 5. There is a large amount of research that is not useful because it has constraints that could be relaxed by complementary knowledge 6. If you can systematically identify valuable IP better than anyone, it may be possible to make money funding science 7. It may be ‘geometrically’ more valuable to simultaneously build out a technology and the supporting technologies 8. The ARPA structure has been one of the most successful institutional models at generating quantum leaps 9. Creating a portfolio of projects could allow an organization to take advantage of portfolio theory 10. There are not enough people and organizations effectively working with *all of* current institutions (government, academia, big cos, small cos, philanthropy) 11. It may be valuable to build an organization with strong connections to each of the five major institutions. <!-- #list --> [Web URL for this note](http://notes.benjaminreinhardt.com/Hypotheses+generated+by+world+assertions+and+quantum+leap+assertions) [Comment on this note](http://via.hypothes.is/http://notes.benjaminreinhardt.com/Hypotheses+generated+by+world+assertions+and+quantum+leap+assertions)
