In a network, the best place to story knowledge
is amidst, among and in between people.

Play^n
Generative intention. Begin with generativity in mind. The mind part in Conversations that Mind, Cultivate and Matter.

Cards for Insight: In A Network
In a network, we play^n to win^n. This is a convivial, generative superset to the more common disposition, negotiated self-interest at network scale:

in a network, we play to win

Cards for Insight: There’s a place beyond proprietary platforms. Let’s network there.

Game^n
Playing finite, serious and infinite games as convivial processes, generative space as structures and knowledge as flows. The cultivation part in Conversations that Mind, Cultivate and Matter.

Cards for Insight: Cultivation
Cultivation is the deep, profound, convivial patterning in and in between mind and matter. Cultivation is to flow, what communication and conversation is to process and what technology is to structure.

flow = structure x process

Cards for Insight: Patterning
A subset of this patterning is language, the commonly accessible part. Or, seen from inside narratives: patterning is the imagineering superset to language, languaging, pragmatic signal processing, lines of inquiry and discourse. Innovation can be seen, understood and applied (leveraged, adopted) as an interface between language and patterning.

Win^n
Metalogue. Meaning-making molecules connecting conversational, contextual, systemic design and anticipatory systems intelligence. The matter part in Conversations that Mind, Cultivate and Matter.

Cards for Insight: Preferable Outcomes
Some of the preferable win^n outcomes:

  • one trillion trees
  • one million villages
  • one thousand eco-cities
  • seven generations

Card: Understanding
What if understanding is our ability
to hold space for the possibility of
knowledge, as it emerges, unfolds,
directs and discloses its relevance to
unexplored aspects of things known?
