DAI5 stands for Deep Awareness (of) I, Intention, Initial-Thinking (about the problem), Idealization, Instruction-Set.

DAI5 is a conscious thinking problem-solving framework, developed by Dr. Ahmad Indra (DAI), structured around five core steps:

1. Deep Awareness (of) I:

The foundational step involving a continuous remembrance of The Almighty – The One and Only, The Creator of the Universe and Everything in it. This step emphasizes the individual’s consciousness (or soul/nafs) and self-awareness, aligning actions with the ultimate purpose of knowing and recognizing God. This is the state of “nafs,” which serves as the core layer.

2. Intention:

This is the conscious decision or purpose that drives the process. It originates from the heart, which acts as the “heartware” encoding intentions for the rest of the framework. Intention ensures that every problem-solving step is aligned with the Creator’s will.

3. Initial Thinking (about the Problem):

This step includes a thorough analysis and understanding of the problem, ensuring a deep comprehension of its nature and root causes.

4. Idealization:

In this step, assumptions are made to simplify and model the problem while ensuring they are reliable, realistic, and aligned with the overarching principles established in the intention.

5. Instruction Set:

This includes the procedures, steps, and iterative methods to implement the solution, with conscious intention continuously guiding actions throughout execution.

The framework emphasizes alignment with a higher purpose and integrates both technical and spiritual awareness. It stands apart from traditional frameworks due to its focus on intention and the foundational layer of consciousness (nafs).
