-====== CHOICE: the idea ======
-Here I am spelling out the basic concept of CHOICE, to help the reader's orientation.
-CHOICE is a uniquely different approach to enabling people to find other people, particularly those they don't know yet, or don't know well. It doesn't assume that people know either exactly what they want, or what is available. The requirements of both sides are taken into account simultaneously, so the only people that you ever find will be those who are at the same time looking for someone like you.
-Some people think this can be done cleverly with AI tools. Having over 30 years knowledge of the principles of AI, I disagree. Good luck to those who want to apply AI tools here – you will have lots of competition in a crowded field –  but my approach here will use AI only peripherally.
-The vision includes a radical improvement in both dating and recruitment. But even more importantly, it will open up the possibility of connection between people for other motivations: people to share living spaces; people to do small jobs for you; people to start a new venture, or village with.
-CHOICE will guide people to answer just those questions that are important to the others they are looking for. People are never asked anything that doesn't matter, so they get the best results for the least trouble.
-The idea came up about 30 years ago. I thought if it as a system for “Common Human Online Information Correspondence Enquiry”.
-  * It is about common humans, not any class of special ones.
-  * It is done interactively online – that is a given now, but back in 1992 it seemed quite unusual.
-  * The information managed by the system is, on the one hand, about the attributes of humans (individually or in organisations), and on the other hand, their desires, wants, needs.
-  * The system looks for correspondence, both ways, between the information from each party
-  * Enquiries are managed so that all parties are guided to find the closest that is available to what they want.
-However, it has been beyond my capabilities to build such a system. I have thought it through at many levels, but need some people to share the idea with, perhaps to mix with their own.
-If you know of anyone who could be interested, please let me and them know.
