Reframing Things, episode 16: Conversations

Card Sessions: Learning to see

Conversations are how we weave between unmuddling, possibility spaces, preferable outcomes and unfolding wholeness.

Cards are decision quality and possibility space affordances.

Card Deck: Turtle ; Card: Playbook

Weaving between problem spaces and possibility spaces: generative sequences. Here’s one generative sequence, enabling structure-preserving transformation:

1. Questions
2. Paths
3. Cards
4. Taking thought (creativity, ingenuity, cognition, social cognition)
5. Change
6. Social circles
7. Considerations (intersects of tacit and explicit)
8. Possibility Spaces (practices, options, navigation)
9. Card Sessions (cultivating flow and ambiance)
10. Disposition (including understanding inference)
11. How to play
12. Character (thinks, things and gatherings)
13. Situational awareness
14. Flow (design conducive to…)
15. Knowledge (particularly scaffolding and spiraling)
16. Preferable outcomes
    Most people understand their own short game, their own set of preferred heuristics how to move from knowledge to some kind of outcome.
17. Resilience, anti-fragility and thrivability
18. Conversations, dialogue and metalogue (meaning-making-moving-with)
19. Purpose
20. Paradigm (overarching narratives, zeitgeist, paradigmatic understanding)
21. Participation (small groups gathering together, figuring things out, events)
22. Scenes (clusters of events, more or less aligned with and evolving with zeitgeist)
23. Media and Hypermedia
24. Images and Memes
25. Perspectives (reframing and re-orienting)

New and different perspectives, finding ourselves, intelligence turned ability (from having gone through the sequence), ability to ask new and different, more generative driving questions. Arcs, cycles, circles, spirals, spheroid spirals and hopf fibrations. Problem spaces turned possibility spaces through play and play^n.

Play^n and possibility spaces, co-evolving.

In a network, any sufficiently advanced, generative and driving question, is indistinguishable from a center catalyzing small group genius in service to unfolding wholeness.

Corner of Cards, Questions, Considerations & Options
All of the above can combine and re-combine as part of

- Cards

- Card metalayers (NFT’s)

- Card Decks (framing, sensemaking, reframing)

- Card Sessions

- Knowledge Navigation Labs (small DAO’s)

- Knowledge Guilds (DAO’s)

- Knowledge flows

flow = structure x process

“x” = patterning

forming a whole smorgasbord of knowledge artifacts in knowledge markets and other, information ecology options.

Social machines to the rescue?
If we design and homestead them, differently, yes.
