In a network, the network(humans, formats) is the innovation.

  1. Ground
  2. Identity
  3. Cards
  4. Thread
  5. Post
  6. Annotation
  7. Lines of Inquiry
  8. Language

This is work in progress, live exploration. This generative sequence outlines “Post” as following the “Thread” which means there’s precious little point in clicking the like button on this post, since “Post” hasn’t happened yet.

The thread can emerge, unfold and evolve, out of what cards people bring to the thread, and/or evolve out of various kinds of conversations, curation and complex responsive processes.

As one of the rules of thumb in this new format, “Post” could be seen and understood as that part of the thread, where people gather and/or annotate.

Cards weaving between human and machine.
