Introducing myself and the Value Hexagram: using AI to explore complex questions
Hello everyone, I’m Henry Peyret, creator of the Value Hexagram — Hexagramme de Valeur.
I’m interested in how AI can help us question our assumptions, explore different worldviews, and develop better ways of working and living together—not simply produce faster answers.
The Value Hexagram grew from a question: what if a difficult problem requires a change of perspective before it requires a solution?
It is an interactive map connecting concepts across five domains: human life and society, information, living systems, spirituality, and knowledge traditions from around the world. Rather than organising everything into separate disciplines, it explores tensions such as individual versus collective, signal versus meaning, and human versus computational approaches.
These tensions are not necessarily choices where one side must defeat the other. Inspired in part by Mary Parker Follett’s idea of creative integration, the aim is to explore alternatives that address the legitimate needs behind both positions, rather than settle too quickly for a compromise.…
