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.

-   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

-   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
