hypothesis two remains an hypothesis, an idea to challenge and to test as a possible general rule -

by each person for one's own purposes.  Might it add to what we already know and do for our personal effectiveness and social health  - at home - at work - at play - partnering - parenting - competing - resolving conflicts - realizing our aspirations. - selecting leaders  (who speaks for you - for me - for us?). Could it become a clear cross-cultural expectation for responsible citizens, effective management, and construc-tive leadership?  Might hypothesis two affirm our shared intuition and core values of honesty with consideration in the workings of our daily lives?

     Could hypothesis two and h2 Notes free us to work more effectively for domestic, economic and international well-being?   Whether we contemplate our daily lives, or the state of the world, we know that we must reconcile "what works" with "what matters".  Might we interpose hypothesis two as a catalyst for effectiveness between the ideal and the reality  - between our values and choices, between faith and action - for healthy communities across the world?
