The Problem:
Lack of knowledge work use cases for Web 3 outside of finance.

The Solution:
The Cards for Insight platform allows community members to earn and invest tokens by playing, engaging in card session knowledge work.

Two years from now, there’s a couple of thousand members on the platform owning tokenized cards and engaging in sessions, with cards and decks fitted with an underlying large finite set pattern language, the playing enabling training of social machine algorithms and mapping token price with card session knowledge market value.

Players earning tokens by sharing card session insights to the platform knowledge market.

Cards, Insights, Tokens
Cards are decision quality and possibility space affordances, card decks are frames and card sessions can be seen as small group genius knowledge labs and knowledge flow affordances.

Tokens can be seen, understood, programmed and leveraged as in-platform affinity, reputation, influence and equity. They can be fitted as meta-layers to cards, card decks and recorded card sessions.

In addition, they augment the in-platform knowledge flows by serving as networked agency affordances:
Questions, tokens, cards and captured card session insights turned knowledge artifacts, markets and formats transcending old notions of platforms.

Pattern language: card session knowledge work evolving with social machine algorithms.

Card Sessions: Knowledge Work and Artifacts
Card sessions offer insight as one of a set of wicked problem stopping rules.

  1. Gather a small group, addressing a generative question.
  2. Pick cards.
  3. Engage in conversations, jot down insights.
  4. Conclude by turning the card session into a knowledge artifact.

Cards and sessions as artifacts can then be shared to the chat, forming part of an online knowledge market, establishing a relationship between token price and knowledge work, insights and artifact value.

Q&U: Tokenized cards, decks and sessions at social machine scale.

The field-testing of the above has taken place in Conversations that Mind and Matter, an online community since 2015 with now two thousand members.

Yes, you can play some of the cards now already. Looking forward to meet you in a session, beginning next year. Please share this with angels, VC’s and any others you believe are interested,
