Overview
This essay examines what the Great Reset means from a cognitive security perspective, analyzing how global socioeconomic narratives shape public belief and behavior. Through the lens of Active Inference, narrative ecosystems, and information theory, the paper explores how large-scale narrative shifts can either empower or disempower individuals and communities in their sensemaking processes.

Findings and contributions
- The editors report that Chapter 1 found rapid reorganization, resilience, and integration of new information channels to be instrumental for both terrorist and counterterrorist activity.
- Chapter 4 (Cordes and Friedman) found that changes in technological and organizational complexity historically required new OPORD formats, and proposes a Facilitator's Catechism building on the Heilmeier Catechism.
- Chapter 6 (Cordes, Friedman, Phelan) presents an Innovator's Catechism, a catechism-styled operations order for early-stage innovation teams derived from the Facilitator's Catechism.
- Chapter 2 contributes role-based improvisational and cultural dynamics for rapidly assembled online teams and initial "Infinite Game" structures for research and citizen science.
- The editors note COGSEC came to see knowledge management as fundamentally social and collaborative, beyond computational tools and data standards.
Methods
- Edited volume compiling COGSEC's 2020 work in six chapters — Friedman and Cordes edit six chronologically ordered chapters by COGSEC and collaborators on remote teams, operations orders, and maps.
- Complexity Science analysis of counterinsurgency team assembly (Ch. 1) — Cordes and Friedman use a Complexity Science framework, starting from a 2008 Mumbai attack vignette, to study rapid team assembly in counterinsurgency.
- Systems Engineering ONFT assessment with Active Inference (Ch. 3) — Vyatkin et al. use Systems Engineering to define Ontologies, Narratives, Formal documents, and Tools (ONFT) for remote teams, explored via Active Inference.
- Historical review of Operations Orders (Chs. 4 and 6) — Chapters trace military and business Operations Orders from antiquity to the present to inform new catechism-style formats.
- Responses to DARPA Polyplexus incubator prompts (Chs. 2 and 5) — Chapters 2 and 5 were written in response to Polyplexus incubators on remote culture for pandemics and on reimagining maps.
