Make room for
an unlikely idea.
Explore the systems behind the tools: how people decide, coordinate, create, and share power. Combine five perspectives. Find one useful question. Give it a small, honest test.
An analogy can suggest a hypothesis. It cannot establish truth. Some combinations will be useless; discard them freely.
Your field notebook.
A collection of questions, experiments, and evidence. Progress means learning something, including when an idea fails.
Change the ingredients.
These sets begin at the level of systems, authority, collective learning, and creative work. Add your own language as your direction changes.
Five sets, five distinct jobs. Arena = where you intervene. Mechanism = how change might happen. Constraint = the boundary you must respect. Lens = a source of unfamiliar questions. Aim = whose life should improve, and how.
Use one term per line: term | short explanation or question. Explanations are optional. Lenses are analogies to investigate, not scientific endorsements. Editing the vocabulary keeps your existing notebook entries.
