Cards as play, insight and shared understanding affordances

The synthesis of this whole sequence:
Card: Thought
“We cannot think first and act afterwards.
From the moment of birth we are immersed
in action and can only guide it by taking thought.”
― Alfred North Whitehead
By suggesting Alfred North Whitehead as a scaffolding for synthesis, we also gain the option of reading Adventures of Ideas, aiding our own adventures of ideas, expanding our movement of thought, relational meaning-making and actual physical movement, between process and reality, between our ideas and the world.

Cards for Insight: Adventures of ideas at card formats and algorithms of loving grace
OpenAI:
“Adventures of Ideas” is a phrase that could have a few different interpretations, depending on the context. It could refer to a philosophical or intellectual journey where a person explores different ideas and concepts, and seeks to understand their significance and implications.
It could also refer to a more imaginative or creative journey, where a person lets their mind wander and play with different ideas, allowing for new and original perspectives to emerge. In this sense, “Adventures of Ideas” could refer to the process of generating and developing new ideas, or the pursuit of creative inspiration.
In either case, the phrase “Adventures of Ideas” implies a sense of excitement and exploration, as if the journey of exploring ideas is itself an adventure, filled with new discoveries and opportunities to learn and grow.
