-   We do have a public moment at Bollenpandje
-   The plan is to make a pubblication with the current state of our research
-   the surface is A3 2 sides

-   ideas:
    -   blueprint for the thesis writing machine. use the a3 fanzine to plan and reflect on the features and needs
    -   as a way to document it beforehand ( to worlding around )
    -   enchanting the software
        -   source things to insert in the code as lucky charm from ppl ahah !!
    -   provide starting points for the list

Some prompts:

![a spiral](spiral.jpg)
the making of software in a spiral

-   source code is at the center of the spiral
-   with all the other actors spiraling around
-   one can get into the making of software from a distance
-   size of the spiral is related to: the distance from the source code
-   documentation is following the spiral
-   distance from the center is related to specificity
-   more distant, less technical
-   try to map the doc system on the spiral?

![LAMP](lamp.jpg)
Software is a lamp

-   software is a lamp
-   documentation is the light
-   you can see the lamp if the light is lit
-   if it's not lit the lamp is there but you cannot see
-   can you use other lights to see the lamp?
-

What about these prompts? They are a way to think about documentation systems and the making of software.

Software is a river

-   How to structure the thesis writing machine ?
-   Which level of granularity ?
-   I would like to work with small text files
-   but then the parsing could be trublesome ?
-   small frontmatter files ?
-   every entry of the list is a different file ?
-   that is crazy, it would be much better to work with a DB
-   but the db is obscure and requires CRUD
-   that is not a problem...
-   but i would prefer to have the files with the text thereeee
-   writing the thesis in git
-   git writing workflow
-   wait also true that the thesis and the project are two different things
-   but still
-   everything is a file?

## Topological thinking

-   A3 double side: it means: 2 A3 or 4 A4
-   2 A3 means 1 A3 to provide context 1 A3 to provide a starting point for this
-   context:
    -   situated doc -------> excerpts from the proj prop, framed in an accessible way (the outside of the spiral)
