Social Co-OS: Cyber-Human Social Co-Operating System
We propose the novel concept of a cyber-human system (CHS) and a diverse and pluralistic "mixed-life society," in which cyber and human societies commit to each other. This concept enhances the cyber-physical system (CPS), which is associated with the current Society 5.0, which is a social vision realized through the fusion of cyber space (virtual space) and physical space (real space). In addition, the Cyber-Human Social Co-Operating System (Social Co-OS) combining cyber and human societies is shown as a form of architecture that embodies the CHS. In this architecture, the cyber system and the human system cooperate through the fast loop (operation and administration) and the slow loop (consensus and politics). Furthermore, the technical content and current implementation of the basic functions of the Social Co-OS are described. These functions consist of individual behavioral diagnostics and interventions in the fast loop and, group decision diagnostics and consensus building in the slow loop. This system will contribute to mutual aid communities and platform cooperatives.
