about
this experiment/inquiry intends to clarify and answer a few questions:
- what are the fundamental systems that underline one's life?
- what systems have the most impact/leverage on one's life?
- what's the role of technology in enabling intentional personal systems?
- how should one design their personal systems? what should be their design principles?
- what are state of the art personal systems setups? what values do they reflect/enact?
- what other possibilities are there for personal systems design?
and a few others that arise as we dive into this exploration.
as i gather/develop perspectives and resources, the idea of the experiment is to prototype and test this for myself, and then share results that might inform an actual open-source prototype.
intro
when we're talking about self-transformation, life design and civilization design, the systems we're embedded in are like the water we swim in. a few lenses just to get an introduction to it:
although not solely focused on a "systems" language, ontological design and fourgames provide good introductions to it the main areas/systems pervading one's life, from an individual's perspective.
social layers' pace and holistic cultural materialism also do so from a civilizational perspective.
working definitions
my loose ontology:
personal: sensing, sensemaking, decision-making, action systems, learning systems & support systems.
civilizational: self-management, organizational, economic, governance, technological & natural systems.

subconscious (tool)/noosphere (-> https://utopia.rosano.ca/interoperable-visions / https://beepb00p.xyz/sad-infra.html) - there are 2 approaches:
these are basically more advanced life management (and sometimes - quantified self) setups, going beyond what most advanced PKM practitioners do, but still mostly concerned with personal data management, and not necessarily regenerative life / systems design.
