Societal Reimagination: How?

In a network, we play^n to win^n.

How can we coordinate our human, joint efforts, homesteading our future, seven generations to come?

Here’s how to play:

1. Gather a small group around great questions and adopt a play disposition.
2. Consider the cards in light of the questions, engage in joint understanding.
3. Highlight the text of the cards, add comments, capture group insights.
4. Conclude. Card session generative closure when agreement on actionable insights, together with needed and possible next steps.

Ok, so we’ve got a question:
1. How can we coordinate our human, joint efforts, homesteading our future, seven generations to come?

Now for the cards, to be considered in light of the question:
2. Understanding, a Card in the Understanding — deck.

Context: thinks, things and gatherings.

3. Highlight the text of the cards, add comments, capture group insights.

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?

There’s almost as many different ways to continue playing, as there’s unique individual abilities and needs. However, for the sake of brevity and clarity, this here Understanding Card Deck and the Card Sessions is designed for

Play^n(disposition) -> Game^n(process) -> Win^n(preferable outcome)

Play^n -> Game^n -> Win^n

One way to apply this type of game, is to gather a small group together around one great, generative question, with all participants bringing a Play^n disposition to the table, holding space for a Game^n group genius process, where emerging, unfolding, cultivating and evolving lines of inquiry, forms a path (and, sometimes, paths, diverging, converging), trim-tabbing away from probable and towards preferable (Win^n) outcomes.

Situational awareness -> knowledge -> preferable outcomes.

At 3.5, the Game^n can branch out to Zettelcasting, should that help weave ability and need. Zettelkasts, notes, annotations, paper and hypertext, could form a fluid, flexible and evolving sense-making and meaning-making method, while remaining situated eg in between two cards, folds, intersects, enabling machine parsing.

4. Conclude. Card session generative closure when agreement on actionable insights, together with needed and possible next steps.

The process of generative closure, is co-extensive with the forming and cultivating anticipatory systems.

Purposeful and purposing information processing.
