Abstract
From curated “cyberwar” text sets (from government, mainstream journalism, academia, and social media), six-word stories are computationally induced (using word frequency counts, text searches, word network analysis, word clustering, and other means), supported by post-induction human writing. The resulting inducted six-word stories are used to (1) describe and summarize the underlying textual information (to enable a bridge to a complex topic); (2) produce insights about the underlying textual information and related in-world phenomena; and (3) answer particular research questions. These resulting six-word stories are analyzed along multiple dimensions: data sources (government, journalism, academia, and social media), expert calls-and-crowd responses, and by time periods (pre-cyberwar and cyberwar periods). The efficacy of this six-word story induction process is evaluated, and the extracted six-word stories are applied to cyberwar potentials during the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR).

The Globalization of Hybrid Warfare and the Need for Plausible Deniability
Intense bipolar international competition for influence and control between the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). It began at the close of the Second World War and continuing until Soviet-installed communist regimes collapsed in Eastern Europe in 1989 and the USSR itself disintegrated in 1991. This conflict was labelled cold because nuclear weapons made direct military combat between the two likely to result in mutual suicide through escalation to so-called mutual assured destruction. The US and the USSR and their allies and clients therefore competed indirectly through competitive interference in the internal politics of third actors. The Cold War established the template for international conflict between nuclear powers. The cause of US and Soviet conflict is still debated; some argue it was due to mutual fear, others argue that one or the other was bent on imperial expansion, and still others argue that both were bent on imperial expansion. The politically prevailing view in the US today is that the US prevailed over the Soviet Union in the Cold War. Consequently, American-dominated Cold War-formed institutions such as NATO are positive tools for international stability and peace. They should be expanded and adapted to changed circumstances.
