For years the Interligare Group has been an R&D Company, leader in the research and development of evidence-based Investigative Intelligence Systems – a series of techniques for strategic information processing created as a result of my research studies and works of design of organisations that research the past or examine and analyse the social ecosystem of the present. After all these years of patient work (more than 15 years), considerable laboratory work and in the field, testing our approaches on organisations and persons, we have acquired sufficient elements of doctrinal knowledge so as to surpass the existing paradigms by means of creating of a discipline which will no doubt be key within the knowledge society of this millennium. This discipline is denominated Scientific Intelligence.

Since its development, the US concept of “Homeland Security” has rapidly spread throughout all the worlds’ governments. It has extended without a clear understanding of its strategic and doctrinal significance and without defining the systemic and operational models with which to work to forge new organisations, operative procedures and support infrastructures.

Put simply but concisely we can define “Homeland Security” as a "National Security concept based on the coherent integration of Intelligence, Security and Operations which aims at efficiently and rapidly being able to anticipate and respond to any threat, internal or external, be they deliberately provoked or provoked by natural causes" (Martin Juarez 2008).

The US “Homeland Security” doctrinal concept is based on a unified vision, centred on the nation's security, prevention of potential threats, the preventive and active combat to real external threats, rather than a cooperative approach between countries and focus on citizens and their real threats. The European model, more specifically the Spanish model, must focus on the safety of its citizens (CITIZEN SECURITY) be based on an integrated Security Intelligence closely connected to the elements that provide security and those responsible for neutralizing the real threats in constant cooperation with other countries.

The Spanish state is currently making a concerted effort, in all aspects associated with security, remarkably improving our ability to prevent and combat threats to citizens safety, however these efforts are being realised without defining a systematic model or a forecast being made which would allow for improvement the future use of existing assets (personnel and infrastructure) and thus permitting the decision makers to have a precise view of the situation and the short and medium term possible scenarios.

It has been a few months since Inteligare (the company I founded four and a half years ago with the objective of researching, designing and developing intelligence systems) reached the end of its period of start up, a process of implementation in many ways brilliant, which ultimately enabled us, with an initial capital of 4,000 euros, to create a world model in intelligence innovation.

In these years we have survived and grown by doing some of what the market required, investing all income in the buying of time, so as to continue to develop our positioning, personality and differential proposal based on knowledge assets, generated by the company. Warren Buffet stated that a business that can not be explained in 5 minutes is neither a business nor anything, in this sense Interligare is dedicated to designing, implementing, assessing and managing advanced intelligence and investigation organisations, and for this we constituted a continuous innovation project called nowIS that permits us to, research, design and develop all types of systems (knowledge, strategic, methodological, organisational, operational, computer, ergonomic, educational, etc) that coherently structured allow to set in motion, deploy and evolve in a continuous manner the organisations which investigate past facts, organisations that precisely scrutinise the present and what can occur in the real world.

In previous posts we define human intelligence and its immense capacity for learning, creativity and problem solving from an evolutionary process. We call this intelligent development of representations in mind; we also established the principles for their examination and artificial replication from the point of view Biomimetic and from the rational standpoint.
In this post I will introduce the potentials of the Evidence-based investigative intelligence and its techniques as applied to the cognitive restructuring of individuals.
On a daily basis we see, in ourselves and those around us, behaviour that seem, erroneous counterproductive, incoherent, destructive and ultimately detrimental to both the subject and others. Someone very close and wise, once told me, and I have been able to double check this, that relativity does not exist in human behaviour due to the fact that as beings dependent on others, the natural and social ecosystem. From the Pythagorean point of view, the positive is the behaviour and decisions that add up to the maximum and the negative is what subtract most.

Scientific disciplines such as psychology, sociology, psychiatry, anthropology and in particular neuroscience, have worked long and delved much into the diagnosis from the perspective of behavioural origins and have given us clues to explore avenues of evolution and regeneration of them.

It gives me great pleasure to announce, in this blog, the writings and books I am preparing and their reasons. In the first instance, I've always believed that; to publish one should have matured a great deal, what one had the need to say, the knowledge or advice one wishes to transmit: at the same time one must have the humility and courage to express things their way, without trying to create a style or emulate the literary masters which I'm nowhere near ready to outshine. My creative and intellectual skills are as remarkable as my shortcomings in many other areas of knowledge, including the written expression of feelings and thought. I am encouraged in this endeavour as I to count with the assistance of, proofreaders who rigorously make grammatical correction but don’t edit content or style and dependable translators that allow me to connect with all possible cultures and will understand the meaning of the expressions that will be reflected in those writings.

In the many years that I have dedicated to the design and development of software technologies and applications, I have clearly perceived the benefits and problems that are inherent to these complex systems. In my research of these types of systems, their behavioural predictability, with the socio-technical systems and the biological ecosystem have played a fundamental role as research objectives.

I nostalgically remember that at age 12 I received a personal computer which, after much insistence on my part, my mother had bought for me on instalments. She always had a special intuition and understood that it could be crucial to my development and future. She definitely wasn’t wrong. Due to various circumstances and basically due to my age, I have been a privileged spectator of the software revolution and have seen firsthand and even won the friendship of some of those pioneers. Pioneers, such as Bill Atchison, Bertrand Meyer and Grady Booch amongst other masters. I still conserve and use the ruler which I received as a gift from Booch when we brought the first ever Rational Rose Technology to Spain, the first object oriented CASE, the first ever OMG world conference (held in Boston in 1993) and where I saw the approaching revolution, the first ever Spanish electronic retail web, created by my team, and called “buying in Spain” and developed in VRML. The opportunity to have become very rich at that particular moment, when the knowledge, teams and ideas were in my hands , but not the self esteem or the conviction of being able to mislead people in the way they were deceived in the so called dot.com bubble (it created perverted young talent and lost them to the technological crash) The first national software factory project, where I was able to participate incorporating the concept and basic concepts of software reusability as a basic element when defining and developing productive code etc..

If in previous posts I dedicated a time to clearly define the principals by which the business platforms responsible for the design of systems through diverse products are ruled, that is to say in JMJLab, I now prepare to describe the responsibility and governing principals of Interligares activity as a research, engineering and development company of products composed in the JMJLab. Interligare focuses its activity on the research and construction of all the necessary elements which compose a strategic socio-technical system, granted we have spoken of the elements which compose a socio-technical systems, I would like to clearly define the functions, components and typologies of a strategic system.

The JMJLAB project has its basis in many years of work, in which I have attempted to conceptualise the intellectual and creative function which I expressed in the previous post and which I will extensively deal with in the book which will be published next year. Also it responds to the research and study of complex systems which I have been conducting along with my R&D teams and which in its intellectual objectives intends to answer the problems and visions of the world from a systematic conception but not reductionist, that is to say, a systematic vision of the inherent complexity of the natural ecosystem, social and to the actual human beings in their constitution and relationship styles, organisation and communication.

Further to the abovementioned I will set out, in black and white the design identity of JMJLAB and its founder:

Often I vindicate with certain vehemence the intellectual commitment that supposes the creative activity that implies, the design and necessary creative talent to realise said activity, elements dealt with in an insurmountable manner by the philosopher Alexander Gérard. The designer in the most creative or renaissance way represents the pragmatic intellectual, committed to society through the messages which the creations emit and with the non-conforming spirit of continuous improvement of the process of turning the visions and ideas into concrete realities. In my personal opinion, design and progress are united by an inextricable bond and it is the designer that through his/her talent, foundations and principles can structure said connection so it can be socially beneficial. Furthermore, a designer must be revolutionary from the viewpoint of permanently questioning the established facts and his/her own creations, he/she must be modern in the sense that being human and his/her surroundings must be at the centre of all thoughts and finally, must be committed to the transforming praxis so as to take the intellectual discourse to the achievements which will influence the real world, the promised land of the design process of which innovation is always the product.

In my experience as an entrepreneur I have come to know and understand the requirements of the clients, generally companies and governmental institutions. Of all the things I have been able to observe is the increasing need for any suggested solution that arises to be simple to understand and must have an immediate application, characteristics which in principle are not to be criticised, are most desirable and to be kept in mind by any systems or product designer worth his/her while. Another thing is that these characteristic be desirable or possible in some types of systems, in general the socio-technical systems and in particular the intelligence socio-technical systems which can not be simple or immediate but rather are complex in structure, composition and progressive in their usefulness to the organisation they must service. In this sense it can be affirmed that any proposition contrary to the aforementioned doesn’t only give rise to problems in the actual usefulness of a product or service of this sort, but will be totally counter-productive. A clear example is the way in which GOOGLE is used, a magnificent tool to access the worlds of information and knowledge, however, appalling as a basic research and analysis tool, basically due to it’s inability to establish an efficient and solid relevant considerations, reliability and credibility.

To date, all post which I add to this blog (with the aim of acting as reference and as a reflection of the research, design and development projects which my team and I are currently progressing), I write about the applications of the intelligence systems and the dynamic guidance of my research and design work. Such dynamic is the research into structures, composition, design processes and creation of predictable dynamic complex systems. Complex systems are those that generate arising features, which had not been contemplated in the properties of the sub-systems which compose the final complex system. Complex systems exists in nature, evolve freely and on many occasions form in a chaotic fashion within organisations and human ecosystems, which are complex systems which are created and evolve in a completely unpredictable manner. In the case of the latter in an inefficient and incoherent way in relation to the its mission and interaction with the surroundings, it follows that a “complicated” system in its best possible configuration will maintain and boost the properties of the original subsystems which compose it, while a complex system will maintain and enhance the properties of the original subsystems as well as the emergence of new properties which will convert it into a different system, especially efficient and with the capacity to evolve.

As part of my research into intelligence doctrine models included within MDOCTRINE, the Interligare innovation program, I have achieved amongst other things to compile a classification of the less rigorous models and frameworks used in the production of intelligence.

The aforementioned classification and detailed below establishes three principal groups:

1. Episodic Intelligence. In this category we include those who use their past experience and accumulated patterns to lead the process to the discovery and judgement of reality. This approximation, which is loaded with potential bias and errors in cognitive processes, is commonly used by government Intelligence agencies and by consultancies who advocate their brand and expertise in diverse fields of knowledge.
2. Intuitive Intelligence. Within this category we include groups that use, as a starting point, intuition based on the cognitive structures present in long term memory as an investigation line in their search for the evidence that determines the reality of the analysed situation.
3. Speculative Intelligence. In this instance the intelligence production is lead by what would be defined as indemonstrable conjectures which are used to establish proofs which have no basis in reality, therefore manufacturing convenient visions of the same.

In the early and marvellous days of the burst of artificial intelligence John McCarthy posed that the problem of enabling a system to learn is inseparable from the problem of how to express implicit knowledge and how to transform that representation in the case of error in a way that it becomes a more adequate to the task in question. In this approach it sets the idea that the generation of new thoughts initiated from old ones is directly implicated in the development of the representations in mind. This approach implied the important capacities inherent in intelligence, that is to say, creativity understood as responsible for generating new representations of the world, learning as an improvement process of cognitive capacities subject to external influence and the resolution of problems as a grouping of applied abilities to a situation or state in the world that prevents us from establishing a strategy to achieve an objective. In our innovation programs we are using AI in two complementary aspects, in the first place we treat the modelling of the thought scheme and treatment of standards in the biological systems which permit the establishment of precise comprehension of the world and behaviour which produce the progressive adaptation to more or less changing ecosystem, in the other aspect we work in the determination of the level of minimum knowledge necessary to apply synthetic analytical techniques and methods of mathematical judgement with precision and success.

These investigation works are grouped together around the Interligare innovation programs called Ingenios, Analyst Toolbox, Neo, Decide, Coa y Druida and will allow among other applications important advances which we list below.

The irruption of new influenza virus is an absolute and sad actuality worldwide that discovers evident vulnerabilities of global healthcare system and the processes of detection, monitoring and investigation of possible solutions. It is well known that viruses act as a united and intercommunicated group, a unique global body with the ability to communicate and develop resistance and “arms” against our defences and the medicaments we use; the globalization permits to accelerate mass contagion, as a result - virus evolution and its mutation into different versions. All mentioned above obliges to change the paradigm of medical investigations and principles of treatment of these pandemics. At present the investigation process do not permit to establish the framework of solutions proportionally to diseases mutation velocity and in many cases discovered solutions, both vaccine or any other partial solution, are not effective against actual virus versions acting more aggressively. In this context it would be essential to assume “evidence based medicine” and make use of intelligence system permitting to develop global and local actions for limiting and controlling disease evolution in due time for decision and investigation.

In his book The Two cultures and a Second Look, British scientist and novelist C.P. Snow affirms that not to know the second law of thermodynamics is the same as not to know Shakespeare. This law is neither a guarantee of thermical death of the Universe nor a mathematical mistery interesting only for polimer chemists, as Schneider says. On the contrary, it notable contributes to explication of creation and elaboration of complex systems impulsed by energy flows aimed to eliminate any gradient existing in the world. Creation and evolution of life in all its forms and organizations begins from the process of reduction of gradients between hot Sun and cold space, existing since millions years ago, gaining the complexity during the process. In other worlds reduction of the gradients in the world increases and thus impulses evolution of natural complex systems.
Evolution of complex and intelligent life-forms, human organizations and creative and innovation impulses can be explicated by effectiveness of life as a cyclic system consecrated to gradients reduction.

Let us define Silent Intelligence as a process of automatic exchange of diffusive intelligence pieces of high informative value between devices, applications and machines controlled by software. It means automatic and invisible traffic of evaluated information about what is happening in the real world with aimed to orient, adapt and cause a combination of actions for providing with an efficient response within the system controlled by software.

For example, we can recommend change of software used by a big hotel chain for alimentation purchases management and logistic according to the choice of existing or potential clients of the hotel, actual medical recommendations for avoiding pandemic contagion, today’s climate and many other factors presented in a certain moment in the real world. As well we can introduce into corporate CRM (Customer Relationship Management) information for detection local or global business opportunities, providing the system with information about competitors, trajectory, social network, membership and personal relations, capacities they offer, functionality of the products, preferences of a tedrerer or a buyer. Basing on the received intelligence pieces the mentioned CRM transmits to the HHRR management system a recommendation permitting to reassign temporally the stuff and create virtual business development team (with the stuff in different offices and locations) for facing the presented opportunity, adapting in its turn the HHRR management system to the new situation.

These new relation approaches and supporting systems clearly define Silent Intelligence System. I have created the concept of Silent Intelligence with this significance on the basis of my investigation and design works for development of our NowIS INI (national Intelligence Infrastructures), where it is necessary the communication between intelligence organizations and systems distributed as nodes permitting to face from different levels of threat and opportunity the changes in actors and factors in The National Security.

In one of his works Moore defines critical thinking as a meta-cognitive act when a person elaborates thoughts on the quality of the reasoning process and concurrently thinks about some conclusion. The critical thinker has two equally important objectives: to come to a correct conclusion and improve progressively the mental processes that conducing him to this conclusion. Einstein used to say that a man is important not for what he thinks but how he thinks. In a similar manner in an intelligence report the most important are not the conclusions but the processes of arriving to them. An intelligence report differs from a traditional report, among other things, in the label of quality. This label gather characteristics of intelligence production process such as collection process, number and quality of sources, their credibility, monitoring period, applied techniques, established inference chains and outcome conclusions. In other words, both experienced annalist obtaining information from Google search engine and a team of expert annalists with strong methodological process and first-level technological support, can come to the same conclusions. In the first case, the right guess in the conclusions will be a possibility; in the second case this will be a consequence of a scientific based rigorous process.

First of all, with investigator’s humility and spirit of self-criticism necessary to be presented in the works of any continuous innovation company within such a transcendental field of intelligence systems applicable generally to any kind of organizations and particularly to national public security, I want to state that the messages I will transmit now are the fruit of leadership Interligare has achieved through its investigative works recognized by the world-wide Intelligence community as a reference in the present and in the future. This leadership is grounded in maintenance of seven continuous innovation programs, about 25 investigative projects trying to respond to more than 155 investigative lines. As well these programs try to contribute to more than 40 different systems that within the framework of the new generation of NowIS will compose our offer of systems able to deploy advanced intelligence organizations.


Nowadays, the intelligence systems are interpreted by the users as software systems able to respond to specific processes of traditional intelligence circle. Basically these software systems permit to realise the following:

When the lunar module Eagle, with Neil Armstrong and “Buzz" Aldrin inside, landed on the Sea of Tranquillity on July 10, 1969, it was supposed that the lunar module computer connected with the landing engines and radar had to realize automatically the landing. But the computer could not process all the data received from the radar in real time and as a result delayed in performing calculations. The pilot had to land the spacecraft manually. In the real world I denominate as “due time for decision-making” the temporal framework where a decision triggering a combination of previously established and trained actions is to be produced. This characteristic determines in large part the intelligence model and structure to be established. Nowadays both the military sphere where new MIRV (Multiple Independently Targeted Reentry Vehicle), weapon systems blasting off various warheads from one rocket called “AUTOBUS” able to change its route, velocity, direction and even the target (last generation system) are being designed and deployed and in sphere of cyber-terrorism where ubiquity of Internet and its integration with actions to be realized on threat perceptual and physical levels oblige to plan an intelligence model that I call "Silent Intelligence Network" In the next chapter I will explain the approach, function and significant of the Silent Intelligence as well its network application; but basically its essence is systematic production of "Automatic Intelligence Items". Once disseminated they permit to develop other systems with operational character (transactions, decisions) and make them operate in the intelligent way according to the knowledge degree of the environment and the level of uncertainty over this environment in such a way that it can give real time operative replies and induce strategic actions in due time for decision-making through starting of conventional Intelligence projects.

Disputing about politics, generally people look for data supporting their opinions instead of data that would help them to change their minds. Some politician from the Conservative party interprets information as proves that the money is wasted in welfare benefits while the other from the Progressive Party interprets it as proves of necessity to devote much more attention to this question. Furthermore, not always when people see the reality of the things (authentic reality) their behaviour is ideally rational. As such, for long term political planning it is necessary to take into account that people collect data for satisfying certain ideological necessities adapting these data to some existing mental scheme (their perception) instead of changing this scheme adapting it to the facts even if their political objectives do not change the form of approximating to these facts. The quality of the information is a factor that has got exactly the same importance as particular “filters” in the minds of the information receivers. It is important to avoid information worship in itself: more quantity is not better if for obtaining of exactitude it is necessary to pay a high price. A mass of irrelevant information is a perfect camouflage for bad authority practice.

Nevertheless, the ideology may give in to evidences if they are sufficient, competitive and valid. Let’s see an example from former Soviet Union.

This article is an advance of doctrinal reflection work aimed to establish basic principles of the intelligence discipline in the XXI century as an essential element of human organizations efficient management. The intelligence as a discipline is changing its condition of being used only by governmental secret services, orienting its position in the framework of human knowledge for being applied to human organization, concretely to their management.
To become a discipline within management of human organizations its mission must be to try to resolve a certain problem existing in this field. From our point of view mission and purpose of the intelligence discipline is to contribute to the improvement of treatment and management of strategic information in any organization. We define mentioned above strategic information as information required to set objectives and successfully achieve them. There are three types of strategic information in any organization:

1- Strategic Information of support to processes, and to business or service continuity.
2- Strategic Information of support to threat detection and management.
3- Strategic Information of support to opportunities detection and management.

Fray Luis from Leon, an old monk, a Spanish wise man, and a professor emeritus of Salamanca University after various year of imprisonment because of false accusations by Holy Tribunal of the Inquisition returned to give lectures beginning with already famous phrase “as we said yesterday”. In the same manner I eager to start again with publishing my, and without fail I would like to explain my prolonged absence. During these two years of silence I devoted myself to start-up process of Interligare. I would say proudly that this is not a common company; it is and will be the world-wide reference in creation and development of the intelligence discipline.

The father of the North American Strategic Intelligence doctrine, which principles have been kept in effect for many years, established one of the problems that more motivates to investigators of Intelligence discipline to develop new approaches in the shape of procedures and methods. Sherman Kent, across his multiple works, established and dignified a frame of reference that allowed to turn Intelligence analysis functions into a knowledge workers' profession.In his studies around the intelligence "Doctrinal Corpus", that is, the Intelligence Cycle, he verified the problems associated with its structure and made it possible to unbind Intelligence from the cycle in strict sense, understanding this one as a procedural model of reality that can have more valid alternative models.

From the study of the main antiterrorist agencies we will enunciate the common elements that mark its daily activity from the point of view of Intelligence:

1. A change in the "Need to Know" model, which has been guiding untill now the intelligence supply, in order to extend it to new processes. This processes are marked by safety and alert levels, by means of which all the accredited individuals could accede to the information that they need to be able to plan dissuasion, intervention and protection actions. This supposes starting notably different intelligence products and diffusion systems.

The increase of international terrorism developed from the outbreak of Al Qaeda and more specifically from the successful large-scale attacks in New York, London and Madrid, focused the attention of Governments and citizens in the apparent Intelligence failures attributed to the organizations in charge of their development. Thus, Western Governments are promoting changes in the structure and function of intelligence services, while reflection and changing projects in the procedures and methods used in such services are conspicuous by their absence. This is certainly due to the profound ignorance of politicians about the body doctrinal and methodological discipline of Intelligence and its role of real utility, and at the same time to lack of innovation and dynamism in the adequacy of procedures and methods to new realities that put pressure in the form of new threats and demands of Intelligence.
