The Office of Research is an adjunct office that reports directly to Council. This office is responsible for managing the nation's technological and scientific research. It works with the Office of Manifestation to bring forth improved technology and scientific processes for manifestation. All such technology and scientific processes are publicly available to members of the nation. Of course, the Office of Research also works with all the other offices as well.

A core competency of this office is the ability to plan tech trees. A technology tree is a hierarchical plan that maps your present technology to future desired technologies, and tries to identify the intermediary steps to get there. Ideally, it could even further identify the funding and resource requirements for each step in the tree.

Tech trees allow Council to plan the longterm technological direction for the nation. It informs priorities, budgets, equipment, infrastructure, military strategies, the quality of life of the people, and any and all subsequent proposals.

The Office of Research is right at home in Triune Democracies for two fundamental reasons. The first is that democracies are excellent at innovation. The second is that the system we have designed is very adept at working with knowledge.

Out of necessity, the Office of Research is also a law, science, and spiritual office, even though the technology side gets all the glory. Laws are the rules that determine how this reality works. External laws are the physical laws and internal laws are the spiritual laws. Science is the process of finding those laws. Technologies are the tools and techniques we make to work with those laws. Law, science, spirituality, and technology are all related to each other. We fundamentally work with all of them simultaneously when we think well. We build on our thinking and knowledge to empower ourselves in these areas. The Office of Research and Council must never loose sight of the requirement to keep both technology and spirituality in balance, or the nation and its people will go off-track and become corrupt. It must know which technologies to pursue and which not to pursue.

To this end, proposals to initiate research into developing a specific technology, must first go through the Office of Priorties. These are processed as normal and then Council can send the approved proposal to the Office of Research to begin its work.

The Office of Research should maintain an organized knowledge base of known laws, science techniques, and technological developments including demonstrations, explanations, and even hands-on interactive labs of how they work. This is so that the people may access these new developments, apply them in their lives, and maybe even commercialize them.
