The long term research program of mine is called Being and Order (2007-2037). Being refers to human beings as existing in the world, and order to socialy formed ways of ambiguity and uncertainty. Order has so far been the main focus of attention. The program is the larger frame within which projects are developed.

I am currently writing a book on ways to reduce uncertainty and the corresponding question of order. It deals with three basic problems, ambiguity, uncertainty and risk. The focus is on public ways of uncertainty reduction, starting with grown institutions and decided institutions (formal instiutions), to forms that reduce uncertianty, including raking, ratings, markets and contests.
