M Ichael Josefowicz

Mark Frazier I've been working with Esteban Trev on visualizing conversations which is relevant to your work. It would be great to see if anything resonates. It started when Esteban introduced me to tensigrity tetrahedrons. After some really interesting conversations I found my fingers building the pics below.

What I'm seeing is that if you pull together the rods you have two tetrahedrons attached at the point. In addition , with rods of the same size, you have two equilateral triangles at both ends.

So that makes me think of the rods mapping to affective, cogntive and material elements. When they come together, it is either a person with focus, or a high performance team that is focused.

Anything you can add is much appreciated. Thanks.

Mark Frazier Cool! Am in meetings today so will have to respond later tonight or tmw

Esteban Trev M Ichael Josefowicz I was going to say that the one on the left be different from the one on the right and that you needed some extra rubber bands on the one on the right... then I realized that it is the same structure and you just took took a different pictures... in any event these two pictures sort of demonstrate the twisting right and twisting left (incidentally here the one on the left is twisting right and the one on the right is twisting left)... in any event in principle you do not need the center rubber band... for that morphs the structure out of the tensegrity domain... remember the characteristic property of a stable three-dimensional structure consisting of members under tension that are contiguous and members under compression that are not.

M Ichael Josefowicz Esteban Trev Yes, in principle I don't need the center rubber band but the twisting didn't work out. It's probably just the way I made the model.

What it make me think about, is that when the three rods meet at the middle that maps to a high performance team or a person who has an actionable focus. 

So with actionable focus the tetrahedron is ready to split into two and thus replicate. It gives me a picture of how things go to scale. Going to scale is really a process of replication. 

Then I was seeing that when you have the two points of the two tetrahedrons point to point there is alignment of purpose. 

So then I saw a field of tetrahedrons randomly distributed in a soup. They bounce around, as we do on transmedia. With serrendipity, tow points get closer and closer. Voila! a common actionable focus that creates a connection.

Anything resonate with you?

M Ichael Josefowicz Esteban Trev Fascinating... It will take me a little to figure it out. for your radar http://confocal-manawatu.pbworks.com/.../MJ%20and%20ET...LikeInMind / MJ and ET Collaboration

The purpose here is to develop and  explore a simple useful tool that will encourage the kind of dialog necessary to better handle “complex situations.” A complex situation involves a challenging or practically impossible case to define because of incompleteness, variants, and changing requirements that are often lagging to recognize.

To work with changing requirements means a common definition of the situation as it constantly varies a point in time and from time to time. Even more important it means common distinctions of the always changing system can vary pending on who and what be involved

active-say it, active-hear it,active-shared-validation.  

active-say it, [ the steps between ] active-hear it is the problem we are trying to solve in our paper.

To get to shared validation we first have to confirm that understanding has happened.  That means 4 steps. Notice what was said. Engage with what was said. Mull your understanding of what was said. Exchange to confirm that what was said has the same meaning for the communicating dyad.

Which then takes us to drilling down on how to get to understanding. Which takes us to get some precision on Meaning. 

Thanks to congruency pattern interlinks we may consider a conceptual object distinctly separate from it’s form as well as completely coupled to it’s form. Being able to choose whether to link or separate forms expands finite capabilities from symbolic-object terms employed to think about ideas independent of the particular ideological forms being used to think of  said ideas. This skill involves a deep abstract perspective similar to producing a 3D virtual model from flat photographs that appropriately correlates and translates individual pixels arrangements into object contours and recreated forms related to the different objects. Recreating a virtual copy of a physical object can be a daunting task, just as recreating a physical copy of a virtual design can be complicated.
