Anyone starting a business wants to create value. Well, value is more complicated than profit/loss. It's even more complicated than "make the world a better place". In fact, there is a logic of value. This course will explore that logic with you.

If you're familiar with higher-order mathematics or recent developments in physics, you will likely have heard of hypergraphs, or maps of nodes and edges where edges may join any number of vertices.  This powerful tool allows us to build and morph structures in ways that approximate - if not measure - the physical dimensions of the world (space-time, geometry, energy, entropy, etc.).  We can use the same type of structure to develop a logic of value as well.  And we call that hyperthematics.  That is, the logic of value considers how themes make things better or worse, and when we generalize these themes we get hyper-themes.  This course will take you through the underlying structure of hyper-themed, explore the initial assumptions, and apply them to the world in ways that will ultimately help us make it better and reach as many people as possible - otherwise known as starting a business.
