Supergoal

Supergoal is a common, collective purpose for a set of goals that work together to bring forth a higher purpose.

A Supergoal can be as complex and meaningful as one's meaning of life, or as simple of a task as getting to work. The first would consist of goals such as; being happy, avoid cruelty, having chrildren, and so on, and the second one; brushing teeth, having breakfast, driving a car, etc.

A supergoal determines our frame of reference. It establishes the highest goal within a given system and analyzes this structure downwards. Getting to work is obviously not the supergoal of one's life, but it can be the supergoal of one's particular morning.
