It is a simple question asked of either the observer (A), the observed (B) or the space in between (C), quite simply it asks, “What do you know?”

===== Purpose =====
To break or pass through the boundaries of A, B and C into D and to schedule the world in such a way to allow new Knowledge to emerge.

===== Methodology =====
As the Over-Drivers are fundamentally driving the Knowledge in the system, they are run as an iterative process, thus each question is asked six times.

The Over-Driving questions can be directed at either A, B or C.

**Questions to A**
  * “And what do you know?”

**Questions to B**
  * “And what does that know?”

**Questions to C**
  * “And what does that space know?” with facilitator gesturing to space

As this is an iterative process there are 3 ways of running the Over-Driver:

**Iterative**
  * A. “And what else do you know?”
  * B. “And what else does that know?”
  * C. “And what else does that space know?”

**Ordinal – from 1st to 6th**
  * A. “And what is the 2nd thing that you know?”
  * B. “And what is the 2nd thing that knows?”
  * C. “And what is the 2nd thing that space knows?”

**Cardinal – Global or Large Chunk**
  * A. “And what are 6 things that you know?”
  * B. “And what are 6 things that that knows?”
  * C. “And what are 6 things that that space knows?”.

When the client is working with paper and writing or drawing out the problem and/or their worlds, the information that emerges with each question or at the end of a set of iterations, is usually acknowledged with the use of the ‘[[techniques:the_basics:upload|Upload]]’ process which is linked directly with the Over-Driver process.

The iterative, ordinal and cardinal use of these processes is given for a thorough description. Listen to your client, their evolving network/landscape will determine which of these styles to use.
