about

this experiment/inquiry intends to clarify and answer a few questions:

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.

core references for deepening inquiry:

TfT in your OODA loop (conceptually)

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.
