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
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Community software

- How tools and communities shape each other
|

|
### Tool to think with
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "The crisis can be solved only if we learn to invert the present deep structure of tools; if we give people tools that guarantee their right to work with high, independent efficiency, thus simultaneously eliminating the need for either slaves or masters and enhancing each person’s range of freedom. _People need new tool to work with rather than tools that “work" for them._"
|

### Piet ?
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Piet ? What's the difference between sharing the tools developed in the context of xpub (si16, si17, xbranch, soup aggregator, karaoke, aggregator, wiki api etc) & propose a collab tailored on the need of the piet ? (both things can cohexist)
