Research in #resilience #science: "if there were global tipping points, they will rise from the interaction of local tipping points that would amplify each other. But the question of which tipping elements can interact and how remained unanswered" writes #JuanRocha context https://twitter.com/juanrocha/status/1083196454703906818 "Cascading regime shifts within and across scales" | Dec, 2018 at https://www.juanrocha.se/publication/cascadingrs/

I have lot of sympathy for Matt Slater's arguments for Protocol Cooperativism. This is essentially the songbook I was singing from, since the late 90s, and throughout my time working on the Aotearoa localizations of #Indymedia and #CreativeCommons. But in hindsight, those songs were naive. As Matt points out within his own essay, capitalists have […]

#Wiki was invented by Ward Cunningham in 1995, to support the Portland Pattern Repository http://c2.com/ppr/ . #FederatedWiki was invented by Ward in 2011, enabling parallel editing in a community. Renaming a "wiki page" as a "card" may make it more intelligible to novices (even those who don't remember #hypercard). Restarted #federatedwiki for sharing #patternlanguage .https://ingbrief.wordpress.com/2019/01/02/federated-wiki-for-pattern-languages/

Science and Society in East and West | Joseph Needham | 2004
In researching #SystemsChange, fundamental differences in science and philosophy in the west and the Chinese were surfaced by #JosephNeedham. A useful translation of wéi and wú wéi (i.e. 為 and 無為 , or 为 and 无为) is the ways of "human will" and "nature" as juxtaposed.
Wiki as computational platform
Thinking forward on #federatedwiki, rather than backwards by @wardcunningham. > [Federated wiki] is a computational platform for the collaborative construction of things that work and will continue to work as platform technology evolves underneath it. > Too much thinking about wiki as a note-taking system will just hold it back.
