Re Lighthouse: Being an engineer I'd fallback to proven design patterns & re-use "crossing the river by touching the stones".
But, being spoiled lazy digitally: I'd prompt: Dear AI, please begin at a future wish point of global multipolar peace of equal sovereignties. Then work backwards in time for all the spectrum of pathways to this day. Then iterate continuously with new global input events, re-compute, review & archive (oh, & highlight pathways containing tag words: CBDC, AI) Thank-you so very much! ✌️
