This is a list of things that could sprout slowly toward the next year. For the bachelor I struggled a lot to choose a specific topic: deciding on something is really difficult when everything is so entangled. To approach next year in a different way maybe could be helpful to keep track of some ideas and try to understand why they trigger me.
BTW at the moment it's just a list of things that come to mind while playing basketball.
### How to deal with complexity
- complex systems and ways to access complexity.
- different form of intelligence: the word, the body, the emotion.
- how do these different kinds of _making sense of the world_ inhabit complexity?
- relations between complex systems and their context
- tools to access complexity, tools to interface complexity
- coding as a form of care instead of control
### Tools to access, make meaning and gain agency over complexity
- critical tooling
- community software
- Site specific software
- software for trigger dynamics in communities
- Creating rituals/dynamics within a specific topic
- Systems that helps make meaning together
- How system and software are offered, introduced and presented to a community
- How to model software and tool around and within specific contexts
