 CONS. I am very unorganised. At the moment I am always writing everything that comes very fast, in whatever position in the page. This leads to a big amount of content without a structure/any entry point. It is not accessible after some time I wrote things down.

-Thought about the fact that the limit of binding is that there's no space for easy customisation or add-ons after it's closed at the beginning. Instead of the *notebook kit*, where i felt there was too little rigid structure and the user could feel too lost, i imagined to use the same technique starting from a bound one [name: *the infinite notebook*]. It is bound, but free to move: the user is also able to cut out pages, re-position but also keep some they care about.

-A new need arose from the growth of accessibility to books: how to deal with contradictory information. One solution has been the ‘gloss’, which consisted in adding comments in small cursive on the side of a text (fig.7). Another solution that appeared in the XII century was called ‘summa’ or summary, which purpose was to cut “the diverse interpretations to establish a core of truth” (Hobart and Schiffman, 2000): it began with a question, then contrasting opinions were listed and it ended with a conclusion or ‘sententia’.

-This is easy. If you need to cut paper, there are two ways: or you fold it and use your knife in the fold to separate the two parts. This method works well if you, for example, start from an A4 and need to make two a5s: it means, when you need the sheet you own to be cut in two identical parts. The other way works well especially if you own a real and sharp paper cutter. You will need a ruler positioned on top of the paper, with the measurements marked, and something that works as a cutting mat. I once used another notebook, but that was radical.

+I delivered to Supi° the first *notebook kit: An adjustable and editable notebook with included tape and papers for continuation*. The idea is that this type of notebooks allows the user to build it up easily as their needs come over and adjusting and editing while using it and not being forced to stay in a standardised area for standardised notebook users.

 ## thesis excerpts: levels of creativity
-The basic level of creativity is doing, which requires a minimum amount of interest. This happens when we use a notebook already made in the industry and bought from a shelf. The second is adapting. This action is made to personalise and change an object you already have. For example, you could make little additions to it, like a back pocket, or post-its to create more space. The third level is making. This happens when we build a notebook from scratch but we follow predetermined patterns. This action needs more time and energy. The last level is creating. Creating is making something that does not yet exist. It relies on the use of raw materials and the absence of pre-existing rules.

 #### NOTES ON PROTOTYPE: supi's notebooks
 29.09.23
- Supi (XPUB classmate) has started with a basic notebook, then moved to other prototypes. One that she made herself (and to which I contributed with a simple rubber band to avoid the paper from breaking), in which she's using photocopies paper *(the simpler it is, the least guilty the user will feel while using it)* and a 0.38 Muji pen. This type of notebook is giving Supi more space for organisation (or mess) but especially, it's creating new and unexpected connection between the content of the pages.

 ## thesis excerpts: index system
-By the middle of the XVII century, the need to produce new and unexpected knowledge through the creation of connections between content had emerged. One relevant work to mention is by Secondo Lancellotti (1583–1643): he created an index system (fig.9) in which he would insert “associative cross-references and pointers whenever and wherever possible, enabling the reader to surf through” all these annotations, “replacing reading with a type of early modern hypertext” (Cevolini, 2020).

 ### alternative materials: do you need a cutter?
-Any knife would help with this. Obviously, the less sharp the knife, the less polished the cut will look like. In this case, I would suggest to appreciate the rough cut: it shows the inside of the paper, it makes the notebook thicker and last but not least: if you are a perfectionist or someone who feels scared of ruining nice looking objects, this might help you to loosen yourself and feel more free to use your notebook. Bye bye guiltiness!
