In 2025 and with support of @nlnet I was able to continue my efforts, started in 2017, to help forge molecular bonds in our #fediverse petri dish, via my method of "Weaving in public", instrument of Social experience design. See:

https://discuss.coding.social/t/weaving-in-public-connecting-people-and-interests/85

The wicked problem is, when trying to organize for world improving radical change.. You can't be an atom that shouts: "All aboard! Let's form an organism and free us from the dish of #Hypercapitalism". It is not how Nature works. And yet, this is what we try to do, each in our own ways, and the means we are able provide.

To do this requires sustainable #evolution at scale for prolonged periods of time. To deliberately evolve into what we want to become: a better #future.

All our attempts to artificially scale, against forces of Nature, are doomed to fail. Nature emerges naturally, spontaneously, and grows organically.

We face the #Paradox of #Emergence in how we organize ourselves.

Topic of my next blog post..

#ParadoxOfEmergence

The Paradox Of Emergence is the inability to explain to pragmatic people who say "Show me the money" in terms of what your solution is capable of. A good emergent design that models with emergent forces as building blocks to which it specifies simple rules, may have prepared a Golden Dragon that is ready and waiting to be unleashed. Yet it exists entirely in emergent space, it is pure potential all the way. The Dragon is lurking unseen to anyone but the designers themself, making the solution a tough sell, where investments in time and money are asked for. OTOH once the Dragon has been unleashed, then its true value becomes readily apparent to anyone. Another example is chess. Can the first inventor of the game, convey Magnus Carlson level concepts to demonstrate the power & potential of this new game, where other people only see some simple building blocks and rule set?

Emergence. So fascinating, that. I came to some deep insight re: commons organization, a concept I call the Paradox of (commons based) Emergence. Hope to post a forum topic on it soon.

I told so often on the channels that I shouldn't explain so much about SX concepts. That it was a failure condition. And it is. It was also my method to reiterate to myself for testing and improving them against various statements. And to jog my bad memory.

#SX #ThoughtExperiment. #Emergence needs 2 ingredients: Simple building blocks and a set of rules. What if you were the first person to invent chess? For chess you can write them down in a heartbeat. Then though, this first designer / inventor of the game, who thinks it through..

Can they imagine at that time Magnus Carlson level complexity?

Thank you! I am delighted to hear that. An *intent* in itself is already valuable. And even more so, being *intentional* in what you do. Both of these have emergent properties. So you are *already* practicing #SX by sending this toot, it constitutes your 2 cents. And hence, truly, you may call yourself Social experience designer, if that were your dream job like it is mine. 😊

This is how weird and wonderful emergence is. At least that is my *expectation*. I am also merely practicing, ha ha :)
